And they might be playing the reverse trick now. Ban transgenderism from the military, and some other surface-level changes (all good things), but empire, the war machine, the regime changes - all the stuff they really care about, will go on exactly as before.
Think of how Trump called his supporters FORMER SUPPORTERS for wanting the release of the Epstein Files which were written by Obama, Comey and William Jennings Bryan.
I'm 100% convinced that's exactly what they're doing. I don't buy Trump ever having been the anti-establishment candidate. All of it was theater. Harris would have never been able to convince the still existing White majority in the US to sign up for the military and go to war.
Kind of like punk rock. It was created as a fuck you to the system and in the late eighties and especially the nineties it became the system but they still complained and burning shit down so they basically just became marketing for young kids to do what the government tells them to do.
The "Conservatives" of the GOP 20 years ago were so bad that a literal "altright" organically formed to give the tribeless young righties something that might represent them, which then had its name taken by Spencer claiming to be its founder.
A generation ago the left was supposed to be for the poor and working class. Over time that was found to be a lie and it was just a tactic the superrich and the pedophiles were using to gain power.
Now the right is more (but not too much) for the poor and working class.
Anti-establishment changed in 2020-2021, when the "establishment" itself showed the world how untrustworthy it was.
What has not changed yet for enough people is the belief that you can change the establishment from the inside. This is a generational thing, with boomercons still totally mired in believing the institutions are still fixable, and pretty much everyone else convinced that there is no fix, only dismantlement is the solution.

You think it matters what Trump wants?
Let's see. I hope you're right. But moves since June have not been promising. Biden wouldn't let Israel bomb Iran.

Exactly. Punk rock was the largest part of the Anti-Establishment movement, before the whole movement was co-opted by the establishment.
Except it was created by jews from the beginning- Malcolm Maclaren, Richard Hell, Henry Rollins, Keith Morris, Joey Ramone, Danny Fields- all kikes.
all I know is 20 years ago conservatives were pro war and pro megacorps, and now liberals are pro war and pro megacorps.

NPCs have no beliefs nor principles.
