They're basically giving us no choice but to support him as president in 2024; because we cannot allow bullhonky this egregious to stand without challenge.
The establishment is desperate, Most of those old geriatrics are just desperately trying to cling onto power while the whole system falls apart. Most are afraid Trump is like an American Caesar but I think he's closer to being an American Sulla.The Deep State Establishment seems determined to accelerate right off a cliff.

(Sigh)No....no no no.
Completely wrong.
Trump is not a Ceasar or even a maris and the sulla figure rises when the corrupt establishment has no choice
(Sigh)
Look, the Spenglerian view of history is interesting, but do not take it as gospel. Given how comically wrong Spengler got it the first time round in the form of Germany and Hitler, mayhaps the idea has some flaws hither and thither?
No....no no no.
Completely wrong.
Trump is not a Ceasar or even a maris and the sulla figure rises when the corrupt establishment has no choice but to get some one who is actually competent to save their dumb asses. (Said figure tries to save and reform a corrupt dying regime but instead creates its final end.)
Trump is Grachi brother number 1.
A figure that rises when the publics discontent can't be papered over anymore, this is the birth of the populist movement I fucking wish we were at the sulla phase because that means we would be half way through the shit show instead of right at the begining of it.
So strap yourself in its going to be a very long and horrible ride.
We clearly need better role models.Western History is about LARPing as Rome.
The more you LARP as Rome the more important and influencial you are as a Western Nation.
Them's the facts.
I mean if the other option is still Biden, yes.They're basically giving us no choice but to support him as president in 2024; because we cannot allow bullhonky this egregious to stand without challenge.
Spengler is useless and overhyped in Right Wing historical circles, because he's one of the few that has ideas that echo a lot of the fringe Right's desires to see all modern history as LARPing Rome.(Sigh)

And here you have the open evidence of this mindset and why Spengler's stupidity keeps getting kicked around as legit.Western History is about LARPing as Rome.
The more you LARP as Rome the more important and influencial you are as a Western Nation.
Them's the facts.

Assuming anyone even hears about it. Most people will either never hear about it, or will only hear a sanitized MSM version of it. The only voters this will draw are Republicans who wouldn't normally vote for Trump and who would have not voted at all had he been the nominee.Yeah -- this is basically pushing people into voting for him who wouldn't have originally because of the precedent they're setting here.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
That's one of the main problems: control of information. They control what people see and hear, and by extension what they can think. It's pretty insidious.Assuming anyone even hears about it.

It's true there are alternatives which are breaking free of such monopolies, but on a grand scale, with the general population of Western countries? They're niche at best.Technology has changed and its a lot harder to control information these days.
I don't think its quite hit us culturally but it is having an impact.

Until they become mainstream alternatives, the monopolies will always control what the masses hear, see, and (indirectly) think.
Niche needs to become mainstream.
The improvement needs to continue, though; we can't let the monopoly grow stronger.Man it is so much better then it used to be on that front.
Like you have no fucking clue, Rush Limba was a big deal for a long time because he got the right a singular radio station. So much of american poltics was simply shut out completely. Then Rush gave a lot of people who had been disenfranchized for decades a voice, then fox news came a about which was a big beal back in the day.
Now its a lot more open then it used to be, we have a lot of censorship a lot of bullshit but its not as bad as it was 30 fucking years ago.
The improvement needs to continue, though; we can't let the monopoly grow stronger.
Also, didn't know that about Rush -- you learn something new every day.
