Oh my, the elites of the Democratic Party, their clerks in media and “the donor class†began gasping as election night wore on and it came clear that they had once again mistaken what we call liberal America for America. America has shifted rightward, The New York Times reported Wednesday with evident surprise. We are “normalizing†Trumpism, one read elsewhere. And from Perry Bacon, a political columnist at The Washington Post, a piece headlined, “The second resistance to Trump must start right now.â€
Being ever grateful for small things, I am relieved we are skipping the capital “R†in “resistance†this time.
I read this stuff, nonstop since Trump defeated Kamala Harris, and every column inch of it confirms my conviction the Democrats deserved not merely to have lost, but to have suffered an unequivocal trounce. America did not shift rightward this week or at any other time lately. Trumpism—whatever this may mean, and I can’t help you with this one—has not been “normalized,†and I am not sure about this term, either.
Think about these various utterances, and there are lots and lots of them in this line.
America is now what it has been for a long time. To suggest there was some great shift this week is simply to demonstrate the extent to which one has stood at a distance from what America is. To assert that Trumpism has been normalized is to tell roughly 75 million Americans, not quite 51% of those who voted, that they have not heretofore been normal, and that they will now undergo a process of normalization. This normalization is not, by plain implication, a desirable thing. America would be better off if these people remained not-normal.
As to our advocate for a new resistance, Mr. Bacon has just asserted that the above-noted number of Americans are not to be looked upon squarely, asked questions, spoken to, understood or any other such thing: They are to be objectified, countered, and, in effect, dehumanized to the extent they have not already been dehumanized.
This is simply the sound of people who do not know what America is made of, have not been interested for some time in understanding what America is made of, or maybe they know what America is made of and wish to pretend it is something else but claim the right to govern it as it is because they are made of superior stuff.

Amid all this repellant drivel, so unconscious of its own meanings, an excellent column by Carlos Lozada, a New York Times opinion writer, under the headline, “Stop Pretending Trump Is Not Who We Are.†Here is part of Lozada’s opening litany:
I remember when Donald Trump was not normal.
I remember when Trump was a fever that would break.
I remember when Trump was running as a joke.
I remember when Trump was best covered in the entertainment section.
I remember when Trump would never become the Republican nominee.
I remember when Trump couldn’t win the general election….
I remember when Trump was James Comey’s fault.
I remember when Trump was the news media’s fault.
I remember when Trump won because Hillary Clinton was unlikable.
I remember when 2016 was a fluke.
I remember when the office of the presidency would temper Trump.
I remember when the adults in the room would contain him….
And then Lozada sets out for his conclusions:
There have been so many attempts to explain away Trump’s hold on the nation’s politics and cultural imagination, to reinterpret him as aberrant and temporary. “Normalizing†Trump became an affront to good taste, to norms, to the American experiment….
We can now let go of such illusions. Trump is very much part of who we are….
Carlos Lozada is Peruvian by birth, a native of Lima, and became an American citizen just 10 years ago. I cannot but think that this personal background, a stranger in another country for a long time, imparts the gift of seeing others not as they purport to be, or as they delude themselves into thinking they are, but just as they are.

Four more years of Donald Trump in the White House is a high price to pay to humiliate the liberal authoritarians. While I have made my contempt for Kamala Harris plain, toward the end I secretly hoped she would win. With such an outcome, I figured, the Democratic Party would self-humiliate. Americans would have four years to see the party’s indifference to them, its deceits, its cynical abuse of their aspirations, its corruption, its greed. This would be far more instructive than a one-off humiliation.
But humiliation at the hands of the Dealmaker it is.
Complacency, arrogance, hubris, a certain kind of mistreatment, the political blackmail of “lesser evilismâ€: These things are bound to provoke a desire to see the complacent and arrogant knocked off their mounts. But there is more to the matter than mere schadenfreude. As the better scholars will surely tell us, what happened last Tuesday is the denouement of a story that goes back nearly six decades.
To pencil-sketch it, this story began in the post-civil rights years, the late 1960s, when a new generation of party elites took control and recast the party in their own image. These were educated professionals who came out of the knowledge economy—technology, financial services, the defense industries, and so on—and dwelt in the suburbs of fashionable cities such as Boston, New York and San Francisco.
They lost interest in the working class, especially the Southern working class, because they had no relationship with it. They lost interest in Black Americans, too, but figured they would keep the Black vote because there was no alternative. At the other end of this line you get Biden’s remark, in May 2020, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black.â€
I will miss Biden’s artless vulgarity, I have to say. On the other hand, a variant is likely to be in plentiful supply these next four years.
I view Tuesday’s result as the interesting end of the movie. The working class was drifting Republican for years, of course, but the Democratic elites took no interest: Let them go, they are not we—deplorable Others as they are. As many have noted, Black Americans have at last gotten off the bus—the bus to nowhere. And the polls showed that the party elites miscalculated when they thought the educated classes, the the suburb-dwellers, and those aspiring to this status and these places would be enough at the polls.
In this connection, forcing a candidate as plainly unqualified and incapable as Harris—Joy? Vibes? Say what?—was simply too extravagantly complacent—an insult too far, let’s say. And it is injury atop insult, in my estimation, to display shock on discovering that working Americans—Yes, Virginia, there is a working class in America—identify as working class and are not much taken up with the pronoun wars and all the other signifiers of identity politics.
Can the Democrats recover themselves? This is the question now. But it is not so interesting because of course they can. Will they is the better line of inquiry. I don’t see this. What just happened has too much to do with character, and those running the Democratic Party have too little. A recovery, a new direction: This would require an acceptance of failure and humiliation that seems to me beyond these people. There are not enough Mack trucks in America to haul away their hubris.
At this point, as the Perry Bacons among us make plain, the Democrats, as they now are, rely for their appeal on animosity and all the related fears and anxieties. Let us not forget: If working Americans just voted as a class, those running the Democratic Party, descendants of those first party elites who refashioned it 60 years ago, act in the cause of theirs.

Ishaan Tharoor, who does an honorable job a lot of the time as the Washington Post’s World View columnist—well, some of the time; well, as good as can be expected at The Post a lot of the time—published a piece Nov. 8 headlined, “Trump’s victory cements the triumph of the illiberal West.†The defenders of liberalism manning the ramparts as the illiberal hordes charge forward: This is the trope.
It is time to draw a line under this stuff, especially in the American case.
On the eastern side of the Atlantic, Keir Starmer poses as a Labourite and turns the Labour Party into something resembling the Tories’ centrist factions; Emmanuel Macron loses elections, refuses to name a premier for two months, then appoints a neoliberal at odds with the parties that won the elections; the Scholz government in Germany—if it survives, which is unlikely as of this week—proposes to keep ascendant parties out of government by outlawing them. The approval ratings in all these cases could scarcely be lower. But this is what we call the liberal order these days.
The American case resembles Germany’s: Democracy must be defended against those who win the electorate’s support. You see how far this just got the Democrats.
What is called “the center†in the Western post-democracies is not holding but is fighting to do so even as it has no claim, if ever it did, to be the center of anything. In the course of this struggle, which I view as the defining feature of American politics, leaving the Europeans aside, it will be best if we come to recognize that there is nothing liberal about American liberalism. America, indeed, has never been other than profoundly illiberal. This goes back to John Winthrop’s arrival in Salem in 1630.
â–
I have wondered for years why liberal Americans, to stay with the accepted term, nurse so visceral a hatred of Donald Trump. From the moment he glided down the golden escalator at Trump Tower in 2015, the animus has extended magnitudes beyond questions of policy. It has consumed many a liberal, indeed.
I draw on Otto Rank, one of the early figures in Viennese psychoanalysis, and a little from Freud, to reach tentative conclusions. In others from which we recoil we see reflections of ourselves, if I am not oversimplifying Rank’s thesis in “The Double,†his 1914 book. At the most profound level of their contempt, liberals cannot abide Trump because they recognize in him what they cannot admit they are—intolerant, given to violence, ungenerous toward others, incapable of complexity and prone to simplification, and so on. They see in Trump an American, and they cannot bear it. He is one of them and they, so to say, have Trump within themselves.

There was an old political adage to the effect that Democrats care about domestic matters and the commonweal and are not much good with foreign policy, while Republicans care about overseas markets and are very good with foreign policy. When I say “old†I mean very old, as in pre–World War II old, when one could make the distinction. It hasn’t held well since the 1945 victories, when the policy cliques got their first taste of global primacy. The imperium that now blights the world is nothing if not a bipartisan affair.
Empire was not an “issue†on Nov. 5, to state the obvious. There was no voting against it in all its awful manifestations: genocide, interventions of all kinds, proxy wars, sabotage operations, the usual menu of coups, starvation sanctions, “civil society†subterfuge, infinite varieties of coercion—altogether the disorder wreaked in the name of the “rules-based international order.†There was not even any talking about what America has made of itself and what it does beyond its shores.
But the archaic distinction remains in faint outline.
Democrats prefer to say they conduct the imperial business in the name of high, humane ideals. It is all for the good of all, just as the Wilsonian universalists have had it since they decided the world must be made safe for democracy as righteous old Woodrow, the Presbyterian elder from Princeton, led America into the First World War. The Republicans are still perfectly pleased to tell you they want this, that, or the other market or resource and nobody is going to “eat America’s lunch.â€
President Biden and Vice–President Harris went on incessantly about “values,†to put this point another way. The foreign policy of the new Trump administration will be just as it was the first time around: It will be “transactional.†Or as Peter Feaver, a poli sci professor at Duke, put it in a Nov. 6 Foreign Affairs piece: “The essence of Trump’s approach to foreign policy—naked transactionalism—remains unchanged.†Trump, in short, stands accused of an “idiosyncratic form of dealmaking.â€
What you think of this kind of talk depends on how dependent you are on The Great American Delusion.
There is a difference between naked transactionalism and all-dressed-up transactionalism, certainly. The one involves—but precisely—making deals, as in negotiating with others, even those marked down as adversaries. The other sort of transacting tends to that list of activities noted above—coups, sanctions, sabotage ops, corrupt proxies, coercion, and so on.
Trump’s givenness to dealmaking is idiosyncratic, I will give Feaver this much. But making deals with the rest of the world, right out in the open, seems to me a good idea if America is to climb down from its great white steed and find its way in the 21st century. My mind goes to the neo-détente with Moscow Trump favored during his first term. Think about how different our world would be had the Deep State not subverted him. Or his talks with Kim Jong-un when, in February 2019, the two met for the second time at a hotel in Hanoi. Peace on the Korean Peninsula appeared within reach until John Bolton cynically misled Trump even as the two leaders spoke.
â–
There are three very big things Trump can do on the foreign side that could stand as significant turns in U.S. policy. Actually two, and one thing that will stand as significant because Trump will do nothing.
I have no faith in Trump’s declaration that he will end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. That is mere campaign-trail bluster, more or less harmless. But I have no doubt his intent remains as stated: He has said, humanely enough, he wants to see people stop killing themselves. When Trump said just before the election that Liz Cheney ought to stand “with nine gun barrels shooting at her,†the Democrats feigned more shock and horror: He is so violent, so misogynistic. Either the Dems and their running dogs in media are stupid or cynical or both, and I would say both. Trump was merely suggesting a hardened warmonger, one of the neocons’ worst, would think differently if she were on a front line. It is a fair point.
Until recently I would have said Trump stood little chance of delivering on his end-the-war promise: The Deep State would surely sink his boat on this question. But the talk in Washington and the reporting in the media has changed. We—you and I, “the publicâ€â€”are being drip-drip-drip prepared for a sort of undeclared capitulation in the form of a signaled openness to a negotiated settlement. Russia’s advances are now reported in detail. So are the Kiev regime’s weaknesses—poorly trained troops, not enough of them, low morale, exhaustion, desertions. More Western weapons will not do it, we can now read.
A Russian commentator remarked recently that what is needed now is “a Minsk III,†meaning a return to the terms Russia negotiated with Germany and France in late–2014 and again in early–2015. Nothing could be more sensible. Those accords called for a federated Ukraine that recognized the different valences between the western and eastern provinces and wrote regional autonomy into a proposed new constitution. But the Western powers covertly sabotaged Minsk I and II, so betraying the Russians. I don’t see either Paris or Berlin, to say nothing of Washington or London, repairing this breach of trust. Any thought of a Minsk III is mere fantasy.
This suggests strongly that negotiations, when they begin, are most likely to proceed in some large measure on Russia’s terms. Don’t give me a lot of infantile junk to the effect that Trump or J.D. Vance, as Kremlin stooges, are talking about a deal that matches Moscow’s terms. But exactly. I do not see how anyone with a clear-eyed view of the Ukraine mess can proceed any differently. The Western powers have made a 30–year mess of their relations with post–Soviet Russia, and the game is up.
It will be bitter indeed for those who have overseen Ukraine’s ruination to accept the consequences of their indifference and deceit, but however long this takes, they will eventually be forced to do so. The alternative is another 38th Parallel, or another Wall, that consigns Ukrainians to years or decades of militarized, knife’s-edge existence. The winds blow in Trump’s direction on the Ukraine question. May they be strong enough for him to get through the deal that will have to be done.
As to Israel, Trump has made his condemnable sympathy for the Israeli cause very plain. So he will change nothing in the matter of material, diplomatic and political support for the Zionist regime. And by changing nothing he will change something of potentially great significance. Trump’s blessing—“Do what you have to doâ€â€”will remove all impediments for the Israeli military machine to take Benjamin Netanyahu’s “seven-front war†straight through West Asia all the way to Tehran.
What we live with now we may live with for years, in other words. State barbarity is normalized as a feature of our time. Bloodshed of Biblical proportions will stain we who live and witness this.
It has been ideologues-in-command across the Pacific the whole of Biden’s years in office. Secretary of State Blinken and Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, have made an utter mess of the China relationship. The Biden regime reversed nothing Trump put in place during his first term and added a dangerous risk of military confrontation. What will Trump do now that he takes on a stew with some ingredients he put in the pot?
Trump has always been interested in the economic and trade relationship more than the security relationship. In this the idiosyncratic dealmaker could turn down the temperature by rebalancing Sino–U.S. ties. Blinken and Sullivan had this nonsensical notion of competition in some spheres, cooperation in others, and confrontation in yet others. Beijing never took this seriously.
Trump could give substance to what it means to have a properly competitive relationship with the People’s Republic and, while the Pentagon will surely proceed with its huge new buildup in the western Pacific and Biden’s design of alliances, will make economic, technological, and trade rivalry the main event. In my read this is exactly what Beijing hopes for, to the extent it hopes for anything anymore in its relations with Washington.
As to the extravagant tariff regime Trump proposes, I am with Richard Wolff, the noted economist: It is simply too crazy, too stupid and too ruinous of the American economy and American lives for Trump to go through with this threat. On the other hand, crazy, stupid, and ruinous have often figured in U.S. foreign policy. Wolff thinks neither Trump nor his people actually have much of an idea what to do about China. Given Trump’s reckless bluster, this would be cold comfort at this early moment, but comfort of an odd kind nonetheless.
â–
Who will Trump’s people be? This is plainly a key question, maybe the key question given Trump’s limitations and his habit of relying on others.
There are some names floating around, and people are writing up lists. One hears he is thinking of Tom Cotton, the Republican senator from Arkansas and for my money among the most dangerously stupid people on Capitol Hill, for secretary of state. And I read Mike Pompeo, a disaster as Trump’s Bible-thumping secretary of state, spent time with the Trump campaign in its later days. The thought of either taking a cabinet position curdles the blood. But it is too early for this kind of speculation.
To me, the question now concerns the Deep State. Not to put the point morbidly, but the president’s relationship with the national-security apparatus has been, let’s say, essential since Nov. 22, 1963. Kamala Harris, would have served these people like a waiter taking orders. In my view this was part of her appeal to the unseen powers that run the American government. What about Trump?
Trump went down from New York to Washington eight years ago intent on “draining the swamp,†a foolishly quixotic ambition. The swamp drained him, if I can put it this way. A lot of the people who served in his White House— H.R. McMaster, Jim Mattis, the aforementioned Bolton, and on down a long list—were wholly out of phase with his professed plans. Why did he appoint them, many of those watching the Trump circus wondered.
I never did. He didn’t appoint these people: They were imposed upon him. I have ever since argued that Trump’s White House was the most opaque in my lifetime. Understanding it required one to distinguish between what Trump did or proposed and what those around him did to undermine him when his plans ran counter to the Deep State’s interests. I mentioned the North Korea talks. Bolton’s subterfuge in Hanoi is a singularly graphic case in point.
We cannot know just yet who Trump will have around him, and it will be interesting as appointments are announced. I hope it is not a case of either people who have no idea what they are doing—Tom Cotton, et al.—or people who know well what they are doing—Pompeo, et al.—and you wish they weren’t doing it.

the working class was no more responsible for trump’s return, than they were responsible for kamala being the democratic candidate. the clearest indicator of this is the mass media reaction and total and immediate democratic capitulation. the mockingbird that didn’t sing.
both parties in this two headed monster of a duopoly, rig elections and the party that does the better job wins. i am not saying that more people didn’t vote for trump than harris but if tptb didn’t want this result they would have engineered the result they wanted.
trump is being brought in like a relief pitcher after the starter was shelled so badly he has ptsd. trump is the off ramp for their ukrainian debacle, brought in to surrender while claiming victory. this is a feel good election for the american people that were losing faith in the electoral system, now they can feel it’s all been fixed and they have democracy back. well one out of two ain’t bad, i guess, as it has been fixed and will continue to be fixed into the future.
just like pro wrestling has been fixed but people continue to believe it’s real, because they want it to be real. people want donald trump to be real, a real billionaire genius deal maker, that can drain the swamp, build the wall and protect us from the deepstate and the oligarchs, ruining the country. again they are half right, we need protection from the deepstate and oligarchs but the donald is one of them. these poor people desperately want trump to be real, he was a reality show host (and pro wrestling manager) so that’s close enough, i guess.
trump’s cabinet will say it all, does pompeo become defense secretary or tulsi gabbard? the people he surrounds himself with will show his true intentions. it’s hard for me to comprehend why people would feel he’s going to do something different, that he was naive before but now he will do what he said he was going to do the last time.
he’s meeting with milei, the repulsive argentine mini-me discussing his radical chainsawonomics, that will most likely end up here. trump wants a bit coin “strategic reserve”, this all looks like some pump and dump scheme, as they stripmine argentina’s lithium and economy as a dry run, for what they will do to us here.
This is incorrect. The Democratic party has shifted sharply rightward the past two decades with the CIA and its allies sponsoring former CIA officers and right-wing former military officers as candidates in Congress. The Democratic party has moved so far right (whatever that means) that Republicans became a better choice for our working class. They will be disappointed, once again, but had no other choice.

Remember, before the SMO or just when it started, Andrei Martyanov said, “It will be bloody, make no mistake about it?” So here we are, Russia is still winning, at a great cost and the blood keeps spilling.
Trump will preside over the decline of US hegemony. He won on economics, but will life be better with his tariffs? If he kicks out the undocumented, who will be left to blame? Will hardship cause anger and roiling? Will they lash out abroad to quell dissatisfaction at home, or manage to keep a lid on it? Or is this negativity just foreign influence BS and we’ll all get rich & go to Mars with Elon?
This syndrome of post-election word-salad derangement is spreading, unfortunately.
where’s mike dukakass? that tank ride showed the us – uk empire who’s the war monger
This is a very well written and well reasoned article. But a statement like this one…
… is instructive.
“Liberal Americans” equate Donald Trump with Adolf Hitler. Literally, not hyperbolically. And they actually have a point.
Nationalism, in its truest form – not “Civic Nationalism” with its “magic dirt hypothesis”, but actual Nationalism, holding the well-being of the nation (a genetically related people) and their country (land) to be the duty of the State – is truly “racism”. It is racialist. And while Trump himself is actually a civnat, his pandering to a more authentic Buchanan-esque nationalism evokes paroxysms of rage in the religiously anti-racist American left.
Because you see, racism is the most profound existential evil there is, Hitler was therefore the devil incarnate, and ANY evocation of a world view remotely consistent with his outlook must be destroyed at all costs.
That’s Holocaustianity, my friends. It’s a religion, and the Second World War is its creation myth. This is the heart of the matter, and without reference to its origin – that is to say, without reference to the Jewish Question – one will always be puzzled, as is this (very good) author, at our society, its culture, and the trajectory of its history.
The old boomer postwar philosemitism, with its “hurr durr you’re just blaming ‘da joos’ because you’re a failure”, just doesn’t hold water. In fact, the boomer who so opines is merely aping the programming of his instructors in media and education, who make literal careers out of “proving” that antisemitism is a form of madness with no rational basis.
In fact, to comprehend the story arc of the last 200 years, its culmination in the 20th “Jewish century”, and its careening course towards a third World War, one must refer constantly to the collective machinations of this narcissistic, neurotic “chosen people”. Without reference to that foundational context, an analysis such as this article presents will never be complete.
. . . this story began in the post-civil rights years, the late 1960s, when a new generation of (((party elites))) took control and recast the party in their own image.
Fixed it for ya’.
Their name is legion. I’m talking about the demons, the diversion demons. Their aim is to divert you from reality.
Reality is that, contrary to Mr. Lawrence’s word gook, the USA doesn’t have agency in Ukraine nor in the Middle East. They lost against Russian and they lost against Iran. ‘Trump’ is a stupid way to represent the reality of a weakening plutocratic class, in world terms. Imperial elites are losing in world terms. Putin and only Putin will dictate terms in Ukraine. Iran will dictate terms in the middle east. The latter may require a few more ballistic shots of reality.
And so, inevitably, the plutocracy will wage war on the domestic population, the working and middle classes. That’s what Trump has been brought in to do. He’s best qualified because the white working class supports their executioner, and it will be too late before they recognize his role.
I repeat, be prepared for the attack. A bipartisan attack on every social program that has alleviated the impoverishment that goes along with monopoly capitalism. Trump will do nothing about immigration, about the military industrial complex, about the Fed, about financial capital. Understand his role is to ‘roll back’ every improvement in the lives of the people who really do the work but have no political power. With the full support of the Democratic Party. The bipartisan plan is to return to the 19th century, in terms of the lives of working people. Back then of course we had an agricultural class that could resist, the family farm. Now, no. Trump is executioner. The guy at the guillotine who did the dirty work. Modern day the executioner prances and dances and jokes and distracts just like the writer of the above article. The empire has lost, the imperial bosses must turn their tools of exploitation inwards in order to maintain their wealth. Trump is their tool.
Do you know what R I G H T is? It is the opposite to rigging.
Right means taking crooks – like Trump – to the H T – the hight, the heavenly right, the T:
Right is right; doing the right thing, even if it is disadvantageous for me.
Accordingly, there can be no talk of right in connection with crooks literally running America.
(I believe criminal Trump has 34 convictions).
The only cure is to turn exclusively to the right, to the right law which is natural law.
At the moment of turning to the right, there would be no Trump, no Stein, no „American democracy“ and American oligarchy would loose any and all grounds straight away, let alone the disgusting army of parasites spread all over the world.
I suggest Trump detractors–I am one of them–consider this astounding speech Trump gave about his plan to restore free speech in America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJfUXVOoFBo
Video Link
This six-minute speech is the greatest speech in defense of free speech ever delivered by a politician. It is not just a powerful defense of free speech–“if we don’t have free speech we don’t have a free country”–, but a declaration of war against the censorship machine the Democrats have built–“today I’m announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship regime and to reclaim the right to free speech for all Americans.” The speech is a battle cry of Trump and Bobby Kennedy, two targets of that machine, now in a position to act as avenging angels. The scuttling you hear in Washington and Silicon Valley is the sound of rats scurrying to abandon the sinking ship of Democrat censorship.
But a note of caution: Trump endorses amending Section 230, essentially to add a fairness doctrine (the original one trashed under Reagan, converting our airwaves into a battleground): Section 230 immunity will extend only to big online platforms that “meet high standards of neutrality, transparency, fairness and non-discrimination.” But I held my breath when he went on to say these platforms must “increase their efforts to take down unlawful content such as child exploitation and promoting terrorism,” but he stopped there and did not say antisemitism. Beware of that weasel word ‘terrorism’. It can extend to anything the regime hates, and one of those is the Palestinian cause. Trump himself signed onto anti-Palestinianism in his first term when he halted funding to UNRWA and closed the PLO office in Washington, among other things.
Nonetheless, the speech should be red meat to a wolf pack of lawyers intent on righting the free speech wrongs of the Democrat regime, and that’s the first thing we need in order to restore (or institute) our democratic republic. Hopefully Trump will give a series of galvanizing speeches like this during his transition period, addressing other needs and building powerful momentum for January 20.
They knew that pushing 2 steals in a row could have some serious protests and since the whole World was watching , they made an under the table deal with Trump – most likely with his appointments, as the commenters here understand. As previously stated, Trumps a N Y Jew Mafia guy that likes Real Estate, Power, Money and has a large ego. He should buy everyone some time before the inevitable tho, so keep planning for it.
The hour is not to this kind of superfluous verbiage, very misleadind and in fact suspect (BTW, thanks, NotSoFast and WingsofaDove)
But, whilst we are at it…
How kind of you! The Mayflower bunch must have been clear-visionaries as to what the people they were about to trample really were!
This criterion would make the ever-wandering-never-melting-Jew the absolute top notch wizard in this category.
I guess a lot of middle class immigrants struggle to summon presentable reasons why they have moved to “America”, past personal material benefits, mental clichés or marital obligations (Hello, Mr Martyanov!) and what could be the reason they’d be concerned about it. I don’t blame them, because they don’t really have any valid reasons to cling on to something they are ready to give their life for.
“America” has never been a nation as can be understood from history of old long-standing nations. Neither has it been the proverbial Melting Pot.
Under the auspices of modernity (absence of transcendental or tradition) and violent materialistic greed (presence of our above-mentioned lesser brothers) it is best noted as the Devil’s Cauldron.
MG Kelly was Trump’s second chief of staff, a position that should be the president’s most trusted advisor. It turns out he’s one of Trump’s most vocal and intractable enemies.
Let’s see if Trump has learned…
Because if he did not appoint them, he would’ve been impeached, by having a few Republican senators siding with Dems (as Romney did) during the 1st impeachment trial.
Exactly, because of the reason above. He’ll never confessed to being weak but he was weak, Republicans had him on a short leash because of the impeachment threat.
This time it seems to me he is in a stronger position, so it is more likely he’ll appoint and keep his own team.
The lede picture is terrific. Thanks. I count at least a dozen hot chicks in that shot. That’s a heathy sign for a mass movement.
Lawrence not only doesn’t vote — he doesn’t think. Do you really think that if the Jews who run the US wanted to rig the election to put in Harris they wouldn’t have done so? They did it last time around and put in Biden. So what Lawrence should be asking is this: why didn’t the Jews just rig the election to put in the democrats like they did last time? Why did they select Trump this time?
You can tell by how many NYT and WaPo articles Lawrence reads that he lives in a Jew-created false reality. We must bring him back down to real reality, like this: this election has nothing to do with the voters supposedly shifting right, Lawrence. This election has nothing to do with the voters — period. It has everything to do with Jew mind-control: the blood shot to the ear meant that the Jew was anointing Trump as the next president. Why? What does the Jew have up his sleeve?
It’s obvious we’re all being played, being jew-nipulated, and Trump is the psyop-du-jour. You’re not helping us think this through, Lawrence. Begin with this: first, you must assume that the Jew has some evil plan in store for Americans and the world. That’s basically a given. So the question you must then ask next is this: how are the Jews going to use Trump to implement their satanic plans?
That’s the real question, Lawrence. Forget about trying to explain “Trump’s hold on the nation’s politics”, because that’s a load of bullshit. Trump can’t even hold on to his shoes. It’s the Jews who have a hold — a vice grip — on the nation’s politics, Lawrence. And what we should be asking is: what is their next step? What do the Jews have in store for us?
You’re being disingenuous all through this article, Lawrence, and especially in your closing paragraph: “We cannot know just yet who Trump will have around him”, you write. Yes, we can, goddamnit: Trump will surround himself with a bunch of evil Jews. Jews or shabbos goys. That’s another given, Lawrence. Mark my words: the Jews will control Trump 2.0, just as it was the Jews who controlled Trump in his ridiculous, promise-breaking first presidency (here below are 16 promises he broke):
Building a Wall Paid for by Mexico
Trump’s most iconic campaign promise was to build a “big, beautiful wall†along the U.S.-Mexico border and have Mexico pay for it. Although portions of the wall were constructed, it wasn’t completed in the scale he described, and Mexico did not directly fund it. Funding for the wall came from reallocations within the U.S. budget.
Repealing and Replacing Obamacare
Trump promised a complete repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare. However, despite multiple attempts, Republicans failed to fully dismantle the ACA. Some provisions were rolled back, but the core framework of Obamacare remained intact.
Draining the Swamp
Trump vowed to “drain the swamp†in Washington, meaning to rid the government of corruption and special interests. Critics argue that his administration included numerous lobbyists and individuals with corporate ties. Additionally, conflicts of interest involving members of his administration and his family’s business dealings led some to view this promise as unmet.
Reducing the National Debt
Trump promised to eliminate the national debt within eight years. Instead, the national debt grew significantly during his presidency, partly due to the tax cuts implemented early in his term and increased government spending, which were later compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic response.
Infrastructure Investment
Trump repeatedly promised a $1 trillion infrastructure plan to revitalize roads, bridges, and airports, which he claimed would create jobs and boost the economy. Although his administration released a proposal, a large-scale infrastructure bill did not materialize.
Eliminating the Trade Deficit
Trump vowed to end the U.S. trade deficit, especially with countries like China. He imposed tariffs and renegotiated trade deals, but the U.S. trade deficit actually increased during his term, partly due to global economic shifts and the pandemic.
Locking Up Hillary Clinton
Trump repeatedly chanted “Lock her up†at rallies, promising to prosecute Hillary Clinton for alleged crimes related to her use of a private email server. However, his administration did not pursue criminal charges against Clinton once he took office.
Lowering Prescription Drug Prices
Trump promised to bring down prescription drug prices significantly, claiming he would allow Medicare to negotiate prices directly and import cheaper drugs from abroad. While his administration did introduce some policies aimed at lowering drug costs, prices remained a concern, and substantial reductions were not realized.
Protecting Medicare and Social Security
Trump promised not to cut Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. Although these programs were not directly cut, his budget proposals often included cuts to Medicaid and other social safety net programs, which sparked concerns about indirect threats to these services.
Creating a Massive Manufacturing Boom
Trump pledged to bring back millions of manufacturing jobs to the U.S., especially in the Rust Belt. While there was some initial job growth, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the manufacturing sector hard, and overall, the massive resurgence he promised did not materialize.
Establishing a Commission on Vaccine Safety
Trump spoke of establishing a commission on vaccine safety, even meeting with figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who questioned vaccine safety. However, such a commission was never created.
Banning Foreign Lobbyists
Trump promised to prevent foreign lobbyists from raising money for U.S. elections and tighten restrictions on foreign lobbying activities. Although some reforms were enacted, no significant overhaul materialized, and foreign lobbying continued with limited change.
Enacting Congressional Term Limits
Trump advocated for term limits for members of Congress, suggesting that long-standing political tenure breeds corruption. Despite this, no legislation or action toward implementing term limits was pursued.
Ending Birthright Citizenship
Trump campaigned against birthright citizenship, promising to end it. Despite occasional statements on the matter, there were no significant moves or legislation passed to change the policy.
Achieving 4% Economic Growth
Trump promised to achieve sustained 4% GDP growth, which he claimed would revitalize the economy. While there were periods of strong growth, 4% was never reached on a sustained annual basis, and the economy contracted sharply due to the pandemic.
Complete Withdrawal from Afghanistan
Trump promised to end the “endless wars†and withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan. While he began reducing troop levels, a complete withdrawal did not occur under his administration. It was ultimately completed under President Biden.
Trump’s administration did make strides in some areas, but these promises highlight the ambitious nature of his platform, the limitations of political and bureaucratic systems, and the impact of unforeseen circumstances, particularly the pandemic.
For a deeper dive into the promises and policies, Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff and Fear by Bob Woodward provide contentious but illuminating perspectives.
The better question is the way Caitlyn Johnstone put it, is to recognize that the reason the complete mobilization of the deep state against Trump in 2016 and 2020 was clearly not based on the petty, superficial reasons the liberal class had been mobilized against him through the wild hysterics pumped non-stop via the propaganda organs of the Western states.
As worthy as this article may be in its analysis of the forces at work and the dynamic shift in the electorate which brought about Trump’s victory, it fails for me by omission in that it tries to ignore and to have everyone un-see what we had seen in the previous 2 elections, namely the direct hand of the intelligence apparatus, clearly revealing their direct involvement in pulling the levers of power to control Trump after his surprise win in 2016 and to block him in 2020.
THAT is the much bigger story than even the tectonic shifts in the attitude of the electorate.
I believe that in 2020 they felt they had to block him at any cost because they were unrolling the final act of of the Ukraine war which was supposed to result in the collapse of Russia. This year is different because they’ll be ramping up the attacks on China and of course the surprises Israel will have for the world with the Middle Eastern conflagration they’re unleashing.
Trump and the entire coterie of Israeli Firstes (an army of Israel’s gerbils) will be the perfect tools for mobilizing the long ignored and desperate working class remnants into enthusiastically supporting this ill-fated project.
‘(I believe criminal Trump has 34 convictions).’ — Kurt Knispel
The 2024 presidential election represents the largest jury nullification in history. The people have spoken — 75 million of them. They regard Trump’s New York conviction as an empty show trial, of no import. It is de facto overturned.
Trump was convicted by a partisan jury of biased Democrats, in a leftist city that doesn’t look like America. The underlying fact of paying hush money to a porn star is not a crime. ‘Falsifying business records’ was the derivative crime New York prosecutors made up to railroad Trump on a ridiculous, charge-stacked 34 felonies.
Judge in Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial considers tossing felony conviction after election win, reports the New York Post.
https://nypost.com/2024/11/07/us-news/judge-in-trumps-hush-money-trial-considers-tossing-felony-conviction/
If the partisan judge doesn’t toss the conviction, Trump has an excellent chance of obtaining this result on appeal.
Bottom line, Trump’s 34 kangaroo court ‘convictions’ are rather like being named Antisemite of the Year by the ADL — a singular badge of honor, despite the ostensible aspersion.
The globalists have not declared war on Trump only. What they have done is target millions of Americans who voted for him. And it’s not just rhetoric. It’s a fact.
Why? Because of the millions of scumbags and morons who have infiltrated our country. They’ve come in on ships and planes, brought in by our enemies. And they’re here now.
I’ll tell you what else I’ve noticed. I feel like my life is under threat every time I walk into a Walmart, fill up my car, or just drive anywhere. I am certain that I am not the only one who feels this way. People are on edge. I live next to a fire station. In the last three months, the number of calls has tripled. I know this for a fact because I work from home.
We need to get serious about what to do about all this. We need to get serious about protecting our people (those who want their America back).
The late great midget Ross Perot, RIP, had the best chance to form the third political party to counter the uni-party parties, Democrats and Republicans, after he had garnered 19% of the popular vote in a bid for the Whitehouse and he had the resources to pull it off (Perot Party) but alas, he too turned out to be a man of small stature and poor vision, who utterly failed his followers.
Hopefully, either the entrenched parties will clean up their act or another small giant will come along to upset the gravy train which they’ve been riding on for far too long.
Liberal’s hate Trump because he became a traitor by running as a Republican, and taking the limelight away from their darling Hillary Clinton. Say what you want about the left, they do hate and punish their presumed traitors.
For all his rhetorical eloquence on free speech, when that free speech involved campus protests against the Israeli genocide, Trump bone spurs acted up again and he took his deferment gleefully.
Vowing to deport all those who would have taken him up on exercising that vaunted free speech.
I.e. socialism?
Trump IS the US empire.
We will know, as soon as Trump starts filling Cabinet positions, which way the wind blows. If he is controlled, he will appoint those who are dictated from above. If he is really a breath of fresh air and serious about taking down the Deep State, he will appoint those who will do some serious damage to it.
Nothing can be more clear. Be ready to tack.
trump is not ‘american.’
he’s a new yorker.
Imho – I wonder how many voters went to the polls on Nov. 5 and did not vote for Harris or for Trump for POTUS?
On my ballot those were the only two choices you had other than not picking either one of them.
Hopefully the Democrats will allow an open primary the next time; but likely they will not.
We are a banana republic.
his six-minute speech is the greatest speech in defense of free speech ever delivered by a politician. It is not just a powerful defense of free speech–“if we don’t have free speech we don’t have a free countryâ€â€“, but a declaration of war against the censorship machine the Democrats have built–“today I’m announcing my plan to shatter the left-wing censorship regime and to reclaim the right to free speech for all Americans.†The speech is a battle cry of Trump and Bobby Kennedy, two targets of that machine, now in a position to act as avenging angels. The scuttling you hear in Washington and Silicon Valley is the sound of rats scurrying to abandon the sinking ship of Democrat censorship.
What ever happened to the Justice department case with Google? Why does Google still exist?
First stop on Trump’s agenda should be to break Google, Microsoft, and Facebook into fragments so small it will take a microscope to find them. Return to the American market place enterprise created by creative and energetic Americans. Destroying monopoly power over information and knowledge will go a long way toward returning America to Americans. 2nd stop should be to abandon copyright and patent protection that last longer than 17 years and get the USA out of the international copyright and patent arena.
Trump will have to do little else to Make America Great Again. It will happen automatically.
Empire may not have been on the ballot, but senseless political violence, bomb-throwing leftist hatred and intolerance, coercive genital mutilation of children, and respect for domestic civility and open debate certainly was. After watching the Democrats simultaneously destroy my hometown of Portland and conduct ideological purges in blue state workplaces, governments, universities and the media over the last eight years, Trump got my vote.
The Empire will take care of itself in any event, as the trajectory will continue on course regardless of US politics, including the end of the genocidal Israeli apartheid state one way or another. With a little help from Moscow, Tehran, Beijing, plus God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Trump has announced that Pompeo and Haley will NOT be part of his administration. However there are an endless supply of neocons in the DC area, so expect Rubio or worse to become Secretary of State. Unlike his win in 2016, there should be more willing to work in the Trump administration for his second term. Working with Trump was career-ending in his first term.
You’re absolutely right about the historical continuity of persecution in US civic religion. But it’s overthinking it to attribute anti-Trump animus to self-loathing. There is no extant Trump, Trump® is a poor guy’s idea of a rich guy. He’s the perfect Poujadist to drive Dem prigs up the wall. All the ideology is just neurolinguistic programming for party dupes, negging and anchoring. Just like Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard parties are for a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd, Dem totalitarianism is canned self-esteem for pencil-dick mediocrities and dried-up NPR cunts.
The deep state is the nub. If synthetic centrism is the defining feature of US politics, CIA impunity is the defining condition of contemporary history. You end impunity with condign punishment for criminals, imposed through unrestricted warfare. You maintain impunity with illegal domestic CIA agents (“focal points,” “dotted-line reports”) to control the puppet ruler. Both those things are underway, full steam ahead. We’ll see which one prevails.
PCR makes it very plain to see!

Democrats are the lucky ones. The Economy and US Finances are a mess, and the stock market bull run which began in 2009 can’t last much longer. We’re due for the next GFC, only it’ll be worse this time and Trump/GOP will get the blame. That’s why as much as MAGA types despised Harris they should have hoped she would win. When the SHTF, Democrats will win in a landslide and the USA is cooked for good.
Trump talks like he doesn’t see this 18 wheeler bearing down on him. At a time of record income inequality and corporate profits, Trump wants to do the usual GOP thing of lowering taxes on the rich and their corporations.
The sugar high of Trump’s “win” will wear off quickly.
Twenty thousand years ago small groups of hunter-gatherers lived off their environment, including their neighboring hunter-gatherer tribes. They were not at all “noble savages’. Call them socialists.
Ten thousand odd years ago, animal and plant husbandry led to the settlement people (conservatives) with organized top-down governance which the hunter-gatherers promptly started ‘foraging on’.
A couple thousand years BC, the Sumerian written word, ama-gi arose, signifying freedom, the basis of libertarian philosophy.
Actual freedom of the individual means NOTHING to socialists or conservatives.
Sheesh…yet another person claiming to have some kind of special insight into the evil orange clown’s twisted psyche.
Better yet, think about how ridiculous this statement is. The author absurdly implies that the laid-back “Deep State” is willing to gamble recklessly with who gets installed into the highest political office in the land. IOW according to the author: Yeah, we really pulled one over on the “Deep State” in 2016. Wonder of wonders, we somehow elected a selfless, courageous American patriot who we KNOW WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY had every intention of “draining the swamp, etc.” (apparently at great personal risk), just like he said he would. Unfortunately for us however, some “Deep State” operatives must’ve snuck into the white house in the middle of the night and performed a brain transplant on our hero, reducing him to just another lying, thieving, mass-murdering, jew puppet…aw shucks.
I would hope that this was said “tongue-in-cheek” because the idea that the Left has moved rightward is ludicrous. Supporting American foreign interventionism has absolutely no connection to the political Right. It does have a connection to the political Left through neoconservatism which is simply Leftists who moved into the GOP because of rising anti-Semitism of the New Left in the 1960s. These people have never belonged in the Right as many have shown recently with their defections to the Harris campaign. Nobody who supports the use of government power as the primary force in society is of the Right. Stop espousing the doctrine of the Left.
More like PTSD, Post-Traumatic Shit Disorder.
Excellent link, CL!!!
Thanks
Yeah, another (secondary) reason they let Trump win this year is also to help discredit any conspiracy theories which the 2020 election had spurred.
And which PCR so eloquently proved with his beautiful graph.
Is Lawrence a Jew? He must be a Jew. No one else could write such a piece with zero mention of Israel, Palestine, or all the chosen ones involved here. So why are we reading him here at Unz? I thought this was a site for non-MSM writers? Or am I wrong?
Ask Tariq Ali used to say: “Beware the radical center.”
Not really. Liberals see themselves not as Americans in any meaningful sense, but as post-nationalists, committed to embracing and spreading the globalist agenda, rather than fighting it.
Prediction:
The self imposed global isolation of the U.S. and its core of vassals will continue apace.
87% of the world decided to join the winning team, and that ain’t Washington.
Trump can’t change that dynamic one tiny bit.
Is there a sentence in here?
Ask Tariq Ali WHAT?
Personally speaking, I cannot comprehend how any human of even below average intelligence could in any way respect, let alone vote for, especially not for President of the United States, someone as utterly ridiculous in so many ways as Ms. Harris. I actually pity such people, as much as admit I have no possible way of relating to their thought process, not in the slightest. And this goes double for any “men” who voted for her.
I like that, but. “‘buddi”, Trump’s a Floridian now. There is a deeper question about Floridians than are they American. Are Floridians human?
Probably, close to 90 percent of those in the participating electorate are party voters who will vote for their party no matter what. For many of the Democrats it’s ratchet politics. Whatever clicks the agenda forward, they vote for it.
you mean the 45% of Floridians who are not New Yorkers?
I was interested in a neighborhood in Gulf Coast florida (Bloomberg spent a million + to New Yorkify Atlantic coast).
House was in nice location, good price, good shape.
Then I learned that Chabad had just purchased a large (formerly) Presbyterian church in the neighborhood.
I tore up the contract.
Looking at Panama.
The American empire will not go softly into the night, but will attempt to maintain its hegemony at all costs. Liberalism was just the easy way, by intertwining the nations of the world through a network of debts and degeneracy. Now the empire shall defend itself the hard way, by means of a militarized surveillance state. The Thiel-Musk-Vance axis will seek to re-arm America, because they want to keep their place on top.
MAGA doesn’t mean what you think it means, as if it ever had any concern for the working class.
What have you got against the Lubavichers? Some of the best among our betters are members, like the Jared and Ivanka.
Jewish whining about feeling “unsafe” in online spaces (and offline) plays directly into this. “We are made to feel fear by what you say, ergo antisemitism is terrorism” is exactly where this is going to go. They choose their rhetoric deliberately.
They even weaponize the reverse– if you don’t like homosexuals, trannies or whatever, they specifically deride you for being “afraid” of these groups. Homophobe. Transphobe. Etc. “Goyphobia” needs normalization.
Vote totals alone are not an entirely solid argument if you’re looking to show fraud in the 2020 presidential election — because if turnout was high, then you would also expect higher vote totals generally, right? — and Democrats do seem better and more organized with their ‘get out the vote’ efforts — this is how the infamous Soros DAs are elected: target low turnout, off-year local elections for a big voter turnout push — and it does look like there was higher than usual turnout in 2020, which could in part explain Biden’s vote total:
Voter turnout in United States presidential elections
I think there likely was fraud in 2020, and maybe Biden’s vote total is an indication of that — but I don’t see it alone as particularly strong evidence.
What’s interesting about the turnout data presented by Wikipedia (which I assume is accurate) is how low turnout generally is: typically not much higher than 50% — as I suggested before, lowering turnout by not voting is a way to undermine the legitimacy of the system — in that sense, it can be seen as a kind of acceleration.
What I don’t understand is why do you imbeciles think that Trump is any better than her. I pity any dumbfuck that votes at all while failing to understand or see that both Kamala and Trump are beholden to the SAME goddamn powers.
Trump is about to get everyone killed, and all you asshats know how to do is rag on Kamala Harris 24/7 like that orange prick got your best interest at heart and is here to save the day. There’s a reason why B was rejoicing and extremely happy that he won. You should stop and ask yourself WHY was he so damn happy with a Trump victory.
I have to admit that I am very worried about what the wizards may be up to.
Ukraine is bombing Moscow with drones and Mr. Satanyahoo is shuffling stooges in his government.
Who knows what Biden’s handlers are up to or if Donald Trump will be shot at or poisoned.
It is a long way to the end of January and there is no telling what can or can not happen by then.
“Do you really think that if the Jews who run the US wanted to rig the election to put in Harris they wouldn’t have done so? ”
Your not thinking like a kike. truth is the democrats took a dive, and ran a ticket they knew no one would vote for, just so their candidate trump would get in and claim a mandate. It’s called psychological warfare, and is a little more complex than just a series of lies. It’s worked on you.
“Carlos Lozada is Peruvian by birth, a native of Lima, and became an American citizen just 10 years ago. I cannot but think that this personal background, a stranger in another country for a long time, imparts the gift of seeing others not as they purport to be, or as they delude themselves into thinking they are, but just as they are.”
Oy veh.
Pres Trump is not who we are. He is a part of who we are and even more so to the point, who some of us are. Sure Pres Trump has a great sense of humor. Sure, he is a workaholic. Sure his social and political stammina to withstand immense and unfair, unkind, untrue, dispicable lines of attack are admirable and congratulatory. He is certainly a fighter. But he is also a tad spoiled. Even we spoiled him. Shielded him from having to face his own foibles as we have and some very few have. Allowed him social expression that very few of “we” could or would exhibit in public. And very few have banks and financial institutions and legal protections that Pres Trump has access to and who come to his aide — because he is “too big too fail”.
No Pres. Trump is not like most of us. No in fact, most of the candidates we have elected are not like who we are. Perhaps, Mr. Lozada does not know this, but theterm, “not who we are” is not a universal reference. It is generally in reference to some particular point of view that one considers out of the “american good will and purpose” as espoused in the Declaration or the Constitution. For example, it os often stated that the US is not a racist country and her foundations are not racist. Yet a cursory look at the nations national legal and social practices before, after and during her existence are clearly targeted to various populations, mostly blacks. I don’t need a degree in history to go back and look at our history. It is clearly who we are in part – ok more than in part.
Ahhh a writer who is latino, someone who can easily pass for white, an immigrant who espouses such tired nonsense as posited because his narrative is certainly that of pandering. Allow me to tell who we are becoming, a country eager to embrace any nonblack from anywhere who espouses — we are all one. The more white lookers we can import the further we remove ourselves from the entrenched world we created based on black skin. Really now, someone a citizen only ten years telling us who are —– sure outsiders can provide insight or they can serve a purpose of insightinto the US character.
And I have no doubt that part of the US psyche is to pander.
I see 43 democrat supporters escaped from a South Carolina Lab and went on a rampage over Trumps win on the weekend, residents have been told to keep their windows closed avoided wearing red and definitely don’t wear an orange wig or orange headdress of any description.
Yeah, clearly the tariff regime is a bad idea. It failed for China right? Anytime you see the words “noted economist,” you must know you are dealing with a globhomo, suck poop apologist for looter capitalism.
What has failed is the current system in which Americans are tax slaves for a system that gives them less and less each year while voooters sort out lesser of evils. Meanwhile, China has created an industrial base that can manufacture anything and will have the advanced semi technology mastered shortly. People like the writer and Wolff can’t see this. All they can see are wage slaves paying half their dwindling income for a continually declining standard of social and economic life. Nothing changes, same shit. Take a look at how bad things are for the young in America and then blab about the “ruinous” policies of tariffs.
Not a China fan, just recognize that their decades of tariffs have made them the world’s industrial base. That industrial base means it will be the Chinese who take the lead in most areas of technology. White people will sit around thinking up new pronouns and chopping off their kids’ body parts to satisfy the urges of mental illness.
Trump will have to figure out how to do a least painful default on the sovereign debt. That cannot be done until the industrial base is re-established. A generation of Americans will have to be trained in how to think, plan and build, lost arts that were replaced by verbalism and bullshit jobs.
I don’t happen to believe that elections are real… but let’s say they are, for a moment.
If so, most Americans are against fags and faggotry, because it’s unnatural.
This is seen by the liberal wing and their media running dogs as unenlightened. The only reason they feel this way is not out of the proclaimed need for ‘rights’, nor ‘equity’ (as if the latter could be achieved in a fallen human culture)… but because the liberal ruling class are, themselves sexual perverts of the worst kind, and they want to normalize this lifestyle by waving their genitalia in our faces.
They forgot that they are vastly outnumbered, and shall always be.
I.e. socialism?
All politics is a waste of time. We are now openly controlled by a mixture of the Crown and international Zionist corporations. America as it was founded no longer exists.
The d party are not “American” at all. They are aliens, terrorists and deviants. To this ragtag mob of detritus, America is an exclusionary club that rejects what they are – a mob of international trash. They welcome the bottom of the world because they are part of it. Parasites, criminals, retards, savages and definitely deviants. They embrace killers, thieves and freaks, because they are those people. Ugly, stupid, obnoxious, insecure bastards who have no real family or friends. They collect a plethora of worthless degrees, made up awards and other garbage to feel better about themselves. None of these losers of the genetic lottery can or will work. They are not capable of such useful behavior. To them calling themselves equal to the workers is as close to working as possible for them. They are the stupid, lazy, uncivilized and ugly people.
I would rather say that America is reverting to what is was when it was founded and incorporated as a safe space for Jewish triangular commerce at a time Europe including Britain was getting fed up with it, to the point they learned how to make sugar from beets rather than from cane. America is reverting to the independent crown corporation it was founded as, with the very same flag as the EIC. America is reverting to the founding refusal to pay tax to compensate for the numerous victims and disabled the Seven Years wars had made, a tradition that persists in the form of homelessness for its own veterans. Countries about to die out go back into childhood, like Biden and Trump.
I think it might be wise to keep an eye on the thye following:
“Not a China fan, just recognize that their decades of tariffs have made them the world’s industrial base. That industrial base means it will be the Chinese who take the lead in most areas of technology.”

The US banking system has begun to embrace the crypto curreny and several Latin American countries and at least one African state (country) if China moves, it mauu be a serious game changer. And it will be interesting to see if the admin will slough it off.
Voting matters agreed.
Dems are the party of the IC and the asset management firms that seek to impose the race/gender/climate — especially climate — ideology on unwilling populations. The Dems are the political action arm of these villains. The Dems have shed liberalism for corporatist authoritarianism with a heavy emphasis on the woke cultural agenda.
Yeah, letting Trump just walk in and seat himself on the throne this time feels more like a bad omen.
Feels just like if Israel was supplying everyone with brand new pagers!
The one thing I am sure of though is that nothing will happen to him if he plays ball with them.
For the sake of the world I certainly hope he won’t let them have their way of course; but there’s absolutely no indication he’ll do the right thing.
Yeah, PCR makes that point also, as does Andrew Anglin, that there were a lot of “irregularities†in the 2020 election. I mean aside from the ridiculous final tally of votes for Biden who didn’t even run an actual campaign.
Funny for Genocide Joe, having been installed in power through the retirement of all his rivals in 2019 and through a massive vote fraud to then be grumbling about getting sent out to pastures and having Kamala replacing him. It’s not like he had even earned the presidency in the first place.
I admit the following sentence of my comment was not very clear: “Do you really think that if the Jews who run the US wanted to rig the election to put in Harris they wouldn’t have done so? †I asked ChatGPT to interpret that sentence (substituting the word “Jews” with “elites”, so as not to provoke the Ire of AI), and it said it could mean two different things:
1. The elites lack total control; if they wanted Harris, they’d have made it happen.
2. The elites have full control but chose not to install Harris.
What I meant was interpretation nr. 2, which I think is pretty obvious from the rest of my comment. Anglin has an excellent article on the front page of TUR today that says basically the same thing I did and also resonates with what you wrote: “the democrats took a dive”. Yep. That’s what’s happening. Here’s Anglin: “If It’s Possible to Commit Fraud, And Yet the People With That Power Decide Not to Do So, It’s Still a Rigged Election”.
I am actually surprised Trump won.
Why?
The anti-Trump faction in America is HUGE….
But it’s probably because they are overrepresented in media….
However, Trump’s victory does nothing but more anger.
Already, Blacks are saying it is time to boycott white businesses, etc.
