The right is tearing itself apart over Nick Fuentes and sympathy for socialism is on the rise. In response, our great leader denies there’s an affordability crisis, claims that admitting 600,000 Chinese nationals into American universities “is MAGA”, and tosses people who can’t afford homes a 50-year mortgage. It’s not looking good folks.
But why the long face, plan-truster? You’re not satiated by your weekly serving of ‘Blowing Up Boats’ slop? The hype videos of immigrants being arrested aren’t Based™ enough for you? Your millennial nostalgia wasn’t quenched by the Department of Homeland Security’s latest Lord of the Rings meme? JD Vance even wore a silly wig! Didn’t you know Poasters Are In Control?
Trump dropped the ball in two ways that sow major distrust and chaos on the right.
The way Trump handled the Epstein files was embarrassing, and it damaged his reputation among newly minted Trump supporters, especially the podcast bros. They’re still talking about Epstein. Regardless of how you feel about guys like Joe Rogan and Andrew Schultz, their podcasts are extremely influential among DraftKings Americans, and gambling addicts are voters too.
Trump’s refusal to put Israel in its place is single-handedly powering Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens to rockstar status by continuing to prove them directionally correct. Gen Z, particularly men, are mainlining themselves with anti-Israel content on TikTok and Reels, down to the dollar amount that AIPAC controls Congress with. Regardless of how you feel about the Israel question, it will continue to divide the right until they’re treated like any other country, not the 51st state.
Combine these two blunders, and now you’ve provided fuel for the Aliens-Jews-Demons conspiracy complex that is the YouTube community. As I discussed in COVID Broke People, Now They Believe in Demons, losing a once-authoritative voice like Tucker Carlson to such beliefs is a loss for Trump and anyone who keeps their minds tethered to reality.
Charlie Kirk got brutally murdered, and the right’s response was to throw a hissy-fit over who’s allowed to talk to Nick Fuentes. A turf war over which influencer worships Jews enough. That’ll show em!
Trump’s greatest strength and weakness is his ego. Leading up to several important elections, Trump spent his time flying around the world making deals with countries to “invest in America.” These deals matter, but Trump focuses way too much on foreign wars and the praise he receives from foreign governments than critical domestic issues. Sorry, Trump, but college graduates who can’t find a job don’t care about Uzbekistan improving our rare earth supply chain. Nobody cares if Saudi Arabia thinks America is “so hot right now.”
But hey, look on the bright side — at least Trump gets to be treated like a king somewhere. It must be nice to have world leaders make their slaves dance for you as you walk onto their red carpet.
Trump cares more about his legacy as a global leader than the American President who defeated the left once and for all. And he’s fucking it all up.
Blaming his administration is cope. This is America, it’s okay to criticize the President. The world isn’t going to end. The buck stops with Trump, and he could fire whoever he wants tomorrow. The harsh reality is that Trump is a boomer who is vulnerable to trusting the system and the people around him far too much, which describes his entire first term.
The second Trump administration is a mixed bag. In many ways he’s exceeding expectations. If someone told me Trump would have taken over D.C. and reduced the crime rate overnight, I wouldn’t have believed them. The border is sealed. Mass deportations are happening, and I trust that once ICE has the funding they will ramp up significantly. But Trump’s sole focus should be the lives of young people who have been truly fucked over, and destroying the power structures that prop up the left.
The longer Trump remains distracted, the sooner the right’s chance to win will slip from his hands. If he doesn’t want the left to come back with a vengeance, Trump must focus on young Americans and stop being retarded.
Yeah see this is why I wanted a primary instead of a coronation in 2023-2024. We raised all of these issues about Trump's ability to execute and nobody even wanted to have that conversation.
I’m sad about losing you on X😔
