RFK Jr.'s odds are looking good. Susan Collins just backed him. (archive.is)

The last month has shown a deluge of consequences for anyone who tries to "nothing ever changes" stonewall like the Republican Party has done for decades, whether through mockery or being pushed back, which they aren't used to or capable of rebuking. And Cocaine Mitch is clearly very close to death, so the head of the snake soon won't be able to protect them.

I think it'll be soon that a lot of them will have to party switch to stay in office, as the old GOP methods aren't capable of continuing for much longer. And Grug breaking rank is showing the same is happening to the Left in some form.

"Nothing ever happens" is both black-pilling demoralization efforts, and wildly reductive analysis that assumes actual success actually happens all at once.

"Nothing Ever Happens" does not explain El Salvador.

But this is because black-pilling demoralization is enemy action... much like the people who benefited in the US from the murders in El Salvador.

It can be people who are just demoralized.

You mean like suicide bombers? People who aren't fully into the ideology but will be exploited to the point of their own destruction by being wielded as a weapon by the enemy?

No sympathy. It's still enemy action, even if it's by proxy.

Trump’s Executive Orders have been impressive and much more daring than expected.

The problem that a lot of his "blackpilling" critics have is that even his more contentious Cabinet picks - Gaetz, RFK Jr, Gabbard, Hegseth - are all rabid Zionists.

For those so bothered by Israeli-dominance in American domestic and foreign politics, the fact that pledging allegiance to the Greatest Ally is still a qualification for office shows how far there still is to go to free us from the Deep State.

It's going to take generations to decouple the US from Israel, unfortunately. I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel, however, as you can see how each generation cares less and less about 'the plight of the jews' as we get further away from WW2. For now I think it's just a bitter pill we have to swallow if we want a republican government that will actually do anything.

Right, so we agree. The black-pillers are explicit Leftists, known to themselves as White Socialists, who have been attempting to destroy the Trump campaign since 2019. I totally agree. That's were nearly 100% of the blackpilling on this forum have come from too.

Zionism is stupid, but even the criticism of Israel and anti-Zionist stance is merely just another excuse for a Socialist cause to destroy the populist right and nothing more.

Considering how much happened instantly when Trump came into office, it clearly could have happened this entire time and a lot of people wanted nothing to happen.

We had a lot of years where nothing changed, all victories were either short lived or taken away somewhat after, and overall it felt insurmountable. I can't necessarily blame a lot of them for falling into despair and thinking its impossible.

Its only a problem when they are trying to pull others down with them and convince them to give up too.

That is correct. It merely took political will. This is why demoralization meant to undermine political will is explicitly enemy action.

That's the sweeping majority.

Historically, nothing ever happens until suddenly everyone is caught off guard by a happening seemingly coming out of nowhere. IIRC, it's called something like normalcy bias.

Things happen all the time, the issue is that people don't really notice the trend.

Yeah, that's basically what I said with less cynicism. There's a general perception that nothing ever happens, and like you said that's just an illusion caused by normies not paying attention. Or sometimes it's from people not seeing the forest for the trees, but in any case history is full of people getting caught off guard.

It's called a preference cascade.

I was talking about the belief that nothing ever happens, not the sudden happening that proves it wrong. But thanks, I didn't know the sudden happening also had a term for it.

I doubt that will work. The lefties aren't going to vote for them just because they took off the Republican skin suit and they would lose the GOP voters they're still managing to con. It's the same reason Manchin never switched parties in an attempt to stay politically viable. He would have gotten slaughtered in the Republican primary.

I don't know, McCain successfully managed to become a hero to most of the Left by simply opposing Trump, even if he didn't party swap he acted as if he did. If they sell it as "I can't be part of this fascism!" they'd almost certainly get a huge amount of Leftie supporters in certain states.

McCancer didn't use that trick for long, though. Didn't have to run for reelection after using it either.

No, but the point is that he was able to successfully swap his supporter base from the Right to the Left by saying "orange man bad." I think many RINOs will be eyeing that shortly in certain areas.
