The January 6 committee has finally wrapped up its work with a series of criminal referrals for Donald Trump. Exactly no one is surprised by this result, as this was obviously the point of the charade from the start. The only people surprised by the ending are the cranks and crazies that still bang on about Trump. The one interesting thing about this is that it highlights the defining feature of the people who compose the core of the anti-Trump cult.
There are two big questions with this latest development. The first is whether the Department of Justice will go ahead and indict Trump. Merrick Garland has been under intense pressure from the crazies to throw Trump in jail, but he has so far found a way to avoid deciding. He just appointed one of their favorite goofballs to operate as a special prosecutor. It was a delaying tactic, much in the way that the appointment of John Durham was a way to run out the clock.
Garland is a bloodthirsty fanatic like the rest of his cult, but he understands the danger of bearing his fangs in public. If he makes it too obvious that his cult no longer has any respect for the people or institutions of the country, there could be trouble. These people believe deeply in the power of narrative, so the narrative builders are busy inventing new stories to provide the content creators in the media. These things take time, so the final call is probably months away.
The other big question is whether this is good for us. There are a few schools of thought on the whole throw Trump in jail business. The conventional school is that even though everyone knows this is Stalinist nonsense, it is another blow to his brand, which is dying from a thousand cuts right now. The cumulative effect of these assaults is slowly marginalizing Trump. At some point, Trump will have to agree to go out with a whimper and thus leave his supporters without a leader.
That seems to be the thinking of the anti-Trump cultists. They think they are the white hats with the support of the public. The counter is that Trump is once again blessed with the best enemies. Just when people get tired of his act, his opponents remind the world that Trump stirs the passions of the most loathsome, vulgar people at the center of the current crisis. No man has been blessed with the volume of free media as Trump and this is just more free attention.
There are other scenarios for how this plays out. Garland could formerly charge Trump and then the Republicans mount a “totally spontaneous and authentic” campaign to remove him from primary ballots. In the same way they engineered Congressman Steve King’s exit from politics, they would run the same scam on Trump. By coordinating with the other party, they would pretend they are simply protecting the party from this obviously bad man.
From a dissident perspective, this would be manna from heaven. No one would be fooled by this and it would bolster the case for boycotting the party. The only thing keeping many people engaged with Republican politics is the hope that the highly corrupt leadership could one day be replaced. Trump is their symbol of hope, so his engineered removal by party leaders would be the final straw. Millions of Trump voters would suddenly start thinking about boycotting the system.
Even if the Republican party sits this out, Trump getting hauled away in chains is good news for dissidents. Given what has been revealed about the FBI’s involvement in censuring speech on-line and the DOJ running a domestic spying operation on Congress, it is hard to not see the bananas in this republic. Biden having his political rival thrown in prison on manufactured charges would instantly vaporize support for the system as a whole.
George Washington famously said that the last act of any government is to loot the treasury, but he turns out to have been wrong. In pre-ideological societies, this was probably a fair observation. Like the rest of the Founders, Washington was deeply influenced by the English Civil War. He had ancestors who fought on the side of the king, so it was more than just historical. In the age before ideology, money was what eventually broke the legitimacy of government.
In the ideological age, the final acts of the government are about snuffing out the last flames of love the people have for the cause. The Soviets eventually made even the most loyal communists cynical. Mao had to murder a lot of people, but eventually the ChiComs lost faith in communism. Of course, the final acts of revolutionary France were to bring the Jacobins to meet Madame Guillotine. As with marriage, when the love for the cause fades, the relationship soon dies.
That is the way to look at this Trump business and all the other stuff that has been revealed over the last decade. The loathsome degenerates parading across the political stage rely on public faith in the system. Every outrage undermines that faith until a tipping point is reached. Maybe it is Trump being thrown in a dungeon or maybe it is something else, but the tipping point is always closer than we think. Godspeed anti-Trumpers, Godspeed.

Whether Trump runs again is nearly irrelevant at this point, as he has a next to zero chance of winning due to the aggressive fortifications in the last year. Michigan has become a one-party state with making mail-in ballots as part of the state constitution, and Pennsylvania is pretty much the same.
It’s also uncertain if he can really do much damage. If he was smart, he would already be setting the groundwork for a mass ballot harvesting campaign, which would fail but would terrify the ruling class as it becomes clear it doesn’t matter the opinions of people of actually follow politics, but just how many people can convince the apathetic to “help” them fill out their ballots.
The only way for Trump to win is to get the nomination, and then Biden getting a stroke in the last couple months that makes him a vegetable, which, mind you, could absolutely happen.
Washington D.C. is beginning to rely less and less on persuasion, and more on punishing wrong thinkers with blacklisting from financial instruments, in which DIE is only going to get more insane. This, however, is going to sincerely anger some billionaires, in which Musk is just the opening salvo. People like Bezos are testing the waters and there’s, of course, Thiel. The Trump prosecution is just going to give them more red meat to garner support among the forgotten middle class.
It’s odd, since it would be very easy to wait out Trump, but these guys can’t seem to look past next week anymore, let alone four years.

I suspect the few remaining smart people in the regime understand that it would be better to let Trump win and lose than to prevent him from running at all. Then they could claim that the voters were sick of Trump. If it is someone else, that becomes a much more difficult argument. Look at the midterm. Does anyone really think the brain damaged guy won that election fair and square? Probably not.
Trump 2024 give them plausible deniability.
What’d be even more entertaining would be Trump refusing to surrender, with he and his security detail holing up in the towers or mar-a-lago and forcing the feds to bring in swat teams and the like. That’d be really good optics. Donald J. Trump – public enemy number one, clown world version…

They would starve him out.
I picture the last remaining Q-tards delivering Chick-Fil-A and Diet Coke via a squadron of drones.

Can you further imagine surrounding the place with tanks, a couple of destroyers off the coast and choppers/drones patrolling overhead… Would that be a s***show or what?
The “tipping point” should have been reached decades ago when our biggest cities were turned into minority-run shitholes. But there was no backlash. It has always irritated me that goodwhites are constantly turning the other cheek when the darkies hurl abuse at them. I think the turning point is going to be a combination of societal breakdown brought on by uncontrolled immigration, cultural decadence, economic decline, and good, old fashioned political corruption. If it’s true that mass democracy leads to control by mass media, which in turn leads to control of mass media by intelligence agencies, then that tipping point may now be at hand because of the Twitter files revelations. But the question is, which way are we going to tip?

There was a massive backlash. Nixon won in a massive landslide. People still trusted the system at that point. The tipping point in our age is when a critical mass loses faith in the system.
of course putting Trump in jail creates the precedent to put Biden in jail, as a way to dispense with him.
The argument of the form “you do this and when the Republicans are in charge they will do it to you” never works because everyone knows the Republicans would never do it. Biden could be seen beating a girl scout to death with a puppy and nothing happens.
Trumps trading card stunt along with the Maro Largo celebration of the protection of gay marriage bill has dented his support among the base.
Trump is not going to return to the White House, we all know that, but will he be able to keep himself out of prison? That is a good question.
Either way his brand has been damaged and he will fade into history now.
I will forever be grateful for the days of 2016 when Trump exposed the system for what it is but it’s time to move on now.
Politically on the national level it’s probably over for electing anyone close to our views but we must soldier on and create whatever comes next.

The only reason Trump is still a thing is because there is no one else. And no, Desantis isn’t going to cut it. The middle class wants an aggressive, brash, caudillo who will step on the face of people they hate while working to move manufacturing jobs back to the states, eliminate immigration, keep us out of wars, and put the brakes on degeneracy.
DeSantis could do all this, but he simply lacks the powerful rhetoric of Trump that can lead to million marching on his command. It’s uncertain whether anyone would be capable of ding this again, as anyone who follows the Trump playbook will find himself in jail on Trumped-up charges before he can gain ascendency.

Garland may be restraining himself with trump but not his supporters. We still have hundreds of people who believed in trump rotting in DC dungeons. Trump only cares about himself and has done nothing for these people.
If the crazies finally go after trump and throw him in a dungeon too it would serve him right for being such a shameless grifter.
