Never thought I would prefer DeSantis to Trump. But here we are.
The true damage Trump has done - and time will tell if it's a good or bad thing - is destroy trust in the system itself. Campaign Trump was better than Campaign DeSantis. I will never regret my vote for Trump, because it was the sensible decision with the information we all had. Trump 2024, absolutely. Every time.
Just like Trump, DeSantis is a snake. He's a proven snake, despite some definite and commendable success on some issues. Vance is a somewhat unknown commodity but, Palantir/Thiel connections aside, may go down with the Trump ship and not even be viable when the time comes.
But I can't get behind DeSantis, Vance, or any of these other people. Massie and MTG have been generally good, but not perfect, and even Rand has disappointed me on some things. Tucker is...interesting, but also untrustworthy.
I honestly don't know. I'm not trying to blackpill (as I've said, I've argued against the blackpill for months, years even), but I honestly can't think of anyone I'd support even close to 100% at this point. And it's certainly not DeSantis or Vance.
I will say, I'm rather angry at the whole state of affairs, even compared to how I've felt for the last decade. We are not in a good place.
Agreed. I do think our complete lack of a warrior culture has screwed us westerners all over. The bureaucrats, merchants, money men, etc are not trustworthy. Con men all of them. And I get the bitterness. We have no true leaders. We don't even have a group to pull leaders from.
