Every four years the media tells us that this is the most important election in our lifetimes, maybe in the history of the world. It is always nonsense, of course, but even if it does turn out to be important, few people realize it. Hardly anyone realized that the 1992 election, for example, would be an inflection point. The Cold War was over, and it felt like politics was not all the important.
This time may be different. Trump is a unique figure and has come to define the first quarter of the 21st century. To understand him and his time on the stage, you must start with the election of the execrable George Bush and then follow the chain of events that flowed from that moment. Trump was the delayed response to the hollowing out of conservatism and the Republican Party by the neoconservatives.
What the Trump era has come to be about is who is going to run the country, Americans or a collection of alien weirdos? For their part, the alien weirdos have made it clear since Trump came down that escalator that they would rather blow up the world than allow normal Americans to rule themselves again. The election next Tuesday is the last battle in the fight between Trump and the alien weirdos.
By all accounts now, Trump is favored to win. If the riggers steal another election, then any hope you have for a soft landing is gone. The country plunges into the darkness and whatever comes out decades from now will bear little resemblance to what everyone understands to be America. This may happen even if Trump wins, but there is at least the hope that not all the lights go out.
That is the show this week. This is, at the minimum, a very important election, but also the last election for a uniquely American figure. No other country could produce a politician like Donald Trump. Even by American standards, he is a singular figure, a force of nature who has changed everything during his time in the arena. Enjoy the last few days of his last election. You will never see this again.

1992 sure felt like an inflection point for me. I can still remember the disbelief I felt watching the Clintons and Gores dancing to Fleetwood Mac like high school kids. I was only 27 but even at that age it seemed so déclassé and puerile to me. I grew up during the Cold War. Say what you will about George H.W. Bush as a CIA man and an Establishment man, but he was paternalistic and sober and a genuine military hero. The Clintons seemed like such trash by comparison. I remember Clinton sniggering at Ross Perot when he said NAFTA… Read more »
And what I hated (I was very young, but musically precocious) was the sully forever put on Fleetwood Mac when Bill and Hillary danced to “Don’t Stop.” I never liked that song anyways, but, to this day, if that song comes on, I have to turn it immediately, for I can still see them dancing to it, and, again, I was about 6.
Saw Stevie Nicks talking about her abortion saving Fleetwood Mac. As if a human sacrifice was worth the denouement of their career.
There have long been rumors–as it were–that she is a witch. If so, she certainly wouldn’t be the least bit troubled by killing her own kid.
There are millions of women headed to the polls who would eagerly sacrifice all their unborn kids to get what Stevie has had. Perhaps in some cases, some of their already born ones also.
The salient point with 22 year old me was that, ostensibly, these people looked at the 80s and thought it was bad. I couldn’t comprehend. I didn’t, and still don’t recognize that they were dissatisfied with the prevailing state of affairs. More like power hungry people who were celebrating because they had finally seized the power.
That may have been the case with Slick. However, I fancy the Hilldebeeste has always been a true-believing New Leftist.
I voted for Perot because Bush was such a backstabbing weasel. Old Ross was right about a lot of things. The day of reckoning for the deficit seems to be approaching.
We may never see this again, but that picture will live for centuries.
A billionaire playboy with a hot wife who could have retired and lived the good life took a bullet for this country, got up shook his fist, and yelled “Fight! Fight! Fight!” This, after being dragged through a river of sewage by people who claimed to be his friends.
if that’s not enough for some people, they deserve a world of death and misery.
I’m afraid we’re in for a world of death and misery even if they allow Trump to resume power. However, I’m still rather compelled by your argument. I almost feel a moral debt to Trump even if voting for him is, from a practical standpoint, pointless.
The weirdos invited millions of third worlders in assuming they would be their foot soldiers. But they aren’t the cannon fodder they had hoped for. Latinos are just Latinos. Blacks can’t put a plan together. Asians stick to themselves and promote their self-interest but aren’t revolutionaries. Jews and Muslims don’t get along. Heck trannies and queers don’t get along.
Meanwhile, White Americans are the largest, most cohesive group in the country. Potentially we have the most power. We had no power as a vast majority. But as we get surrounded we get more powerful. That’s how social dynamics can work.
You make a good point. The “Very Clever Boys” (Hat tip to Severian at his blog for that turn of phrase) thought bringing in these varied groups would push out the natives and leave them in charge for ever. Forgetting completely the idea of Balkanization. And that “Blood and Tribe” contribute to that. They are now learning that these foreigners bring their old hatreds to America, and in one case, bring their hatred of one subset of Very Clever Boys right to their doorstep. And that’s without ginning up new hatreds from running into groups of people they may not… Read more »
Eventually, whites will either hang together or hang separately.
We have to accept that a substantial subset of our people never will hang together. They are lost permanently, which over time actually could prove to be a good thing.
My take is this. Trump now has a power faction behind him. It is a coalition of power factions. To one of them he openly shows deference and fealty by showing up to the houses of their saints and their holy monuments making symbolic gestures of worship that to me, look like submission. This faction is singularly focused on the expansion of its territory and power of a nation and its nation state. It just isn’t Our nation or Our nation state. The other major one is less public in their support though that has changed recently when one of… Read more »
Looking forward to the show. What the Trump era has come to be about is who is going to run the country, Americans or a collection of alien weirdos? problem is the at even Reagan said that Americans are nobodies. Meaning, they have no past, they can come from “every corner of the world “. And this isn’t just some accidental thing that has happened cause of weather or employment. It’s how whites decided to define Americans, somewhere between ww2 and the early 80s white American men as a group said “whites are no longer exclusively Americans , anyone can… Read more »
I worked for Pat Buchanan in 1992 and 1996. I was a young man at the time, and somewhat naive. I was mocked by my friends and one of them still brings it up, 32 years later, as evidence of my anti-somethingism. These guys are now in their 50s and vote Trump and adore minorities and Jews. Their conditioning in American public education in the 1970s and 1980s told them “anyone could be an American” — meaning, anyone can be like me. Me! Me! Everyone wants to be like me, watch football, make money, and be part of the greatest… Read more »
Additional thought: I’ve actually presented this argument to one of them. His response was predictable: “That what they said about Poles and Irish and Italians, dude. One generation later they were totally assimilated and now nobody knows the difference. You sound like a Nazi.”
They believe they have history on their side as well. It’s a potent, potent drug, and it’s a lifetime addiction.
Remind them that those Poles, Irish, and Italians were partly preassimilated—before arrival—through closely related ancestry, relatively similar physical appearance, and a common religion with a shared history of conversion. The Land of Opportunity gave them a degenerate common language to speak, a toxic Constitution to revere like holy scripture, and a vulgar culture to spread throughout the world by force of arms if necessary. Tell them that owners of the Land of Opportunity learned to demonize their shared ancestry once that ancestry became an impediment to the masters’ goals. So the LOO’s masters decided to enforce their status as replaceable… Read more »
Some of us still know the difference.
“One generation later they were totally assimilated and now nobody knows the difference.”
Irish, yes. But Poles, Greeks, and Italians are still not totally “assimilated” — whatever that means.
It’s almost as if those Poles and Irish and Italians had something in common…I just can’t quite put my finger on it though…
Oh Lord how I loathe that attitude – and I, too, see it everywhere. When I traveled and lived overseas, I most definitely learned everyone was NOT just like me, nor wanted to be. I learned that people and cultures are different and ought to remain separate and distinct. I learned to appreciate the blessings I had growing up as a child in White America, and I learned those blessings were due to White, Christian men. I’m past tired of hearing about the supposed ‘good’ blacks, Mexicans, Han, etc. Their homelands reflect the inhabitants’ character. Ultimately, genes and race may… Read more »
(W)hite American men as a group said “whites are no longer exclusively Americans , anyone can metaphysically transform somehow into being an American because an American is a nobody. I’ll counterargue that. I think when things began to change was when the “Press One for English” crowd started really pouring in from South of the Border. Prior to that an immigrant to the United States was expected to 1) Become a citizen 2) Learn to speak and write English 3) Get with the program and become an American. Oh sure, you could have your cooking and your customs IN YOUR… Read more »
They are counting on forming an elite of the elites of these groups. What they see right now is that it works – for them. Silicon Valley and finance are hugely diverse! This is amazing! That works until it works against them too. It is already starting. I hear people, snivelling cowards who would never step outside of the accepted fashion of the GAE’s social order, openly talking about how South Asians have built whole nepotistic fiefdoms in the software industry. Then there is the issue that the people from India and China come from rising powers – empires. What… Read more »
ZMan suggests that : Donald Trump is “ a force of nature who has changed everything during his time in the arena” From where I sit, I would say almost the opposite: Trump has changed Nothing – at least nothing that really matters, nothing substantive – and not in a positive direction of objective achievement. DT failed/ did-not-seriously-try either to “drain the swamp” or “build a wall” during four years. Instead, in 2020 he implemented the world-historical disaster of the Covid lockdowns etc, and later that year the BLM-fuelled violence and social destruction. He endorsed and encouraged the not-vax campaign. And… Read more »
If he does manage to “win” this time, it’s because he’s curried (sorry Usha) enough favor with the oligarchy for them to allow him to. Of course, one could debate who came over to whom, since a schism among the oligarchs had to happen for this to come about.
Barring any surprises in the next 4 years, the greatest accomplishment of President Trump was stirring globohomo to accelerate into naked force in place of fraud.
since a schism among the oligarchs had to happen for this to come about
This is the most important aspect of the sideshow. Close behind is the flight of the neocons back to the Democratic Party. In hindsight we will see both as leading indicators of the recognition that empire no longer was sustainable. Even those of us heavily blackpilled have to acknowledge that is a step in the right direction albeit one that has come far too late.
i completely disagree. Things that could not be said 8-10 years ago are now openly discussed, not least of which is election fraud is 100% a real thing. I think we have a lot more race realists now. Conservative Inc is basically dead, and the party that used to cream their shorts at the prospect of bombing rag heads in the M.E. is now firmly anti-war when it comes to nation building. People who, at one time, were the voices and leaders of the party have been exiled – Cheney, Romney, Trump, even the Bushes know they’re not welcome and… Read more »
Just because you didn’t see the changes you wanted to see doesn’t mean things are the same. This is a never going back election. I see what you mean. As for me, the changes I wanted to see was more groveling genuflection to the Israeli President from our courageous (and extremely obsequious) ‘representatives’. At last, a Bipartisanship a peasant can believe in! I was looking for more white genocide through the aggressive promotion of miscegenation (Thanks Usha! Your cousin Rumpiswampy sez your hubby is just the tits! Big pals, what a coincidence!) I was looking for more failure to defend… Read more »
Hokkada is absolutely correct about the open rule by force, and even though much you wrote in response is true, the clarity is a welcome development.
Heh. And they said the White Boy was dead.
Yet here he stands, still full of good will and good humour, with a big shit-eating grin and two middle fingers raised high.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Boiled down, Trump is an accellerant, like kerosene dumped over a magnesium blaze.
The government itself now openly operates in defiance of the people.
It can and will continue to do so until bellies are empty and houses are cold, but the clarity is indeed welcome. Throwing the border wide open was the breach that marked the transition to a domestic cold war that will be at best an uneasy co-existence.
The Substack subscription is a bargain. I don’t always agree with Z but his takes are worth listening to. $5 a month is nothing folks.
Yes, go on Paul Ramsey’s show. In California, it’s still worth voting because: 1. As you say, to stick it to the Man. 2. Some Congressional races are tight. 3. To vote against the odious Adam Schiff. Gannett is owned by Fortress Investment Group, which is owned by Mubadala Investment Company, which is one of the sovereign investment funds, worth $302 billion, of the government of Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the UAE, which has ties to China and is a member of BRICS, but which also houses U.S. 5,000 U.S. troops at Al Dhafra Air Base. Gotta love… Read more »
The newest, crispest $100 bill I ever received from an ATM was from a Qatari National Bank dispenser at the airport in Doha.
One also had the option of withdrawing gold bars from the ATM. I forget if the weight was 1/4th or 1/10th of an ounce.
I agree with you on Virginia. My thought is that when they call Virginia for Trump at 7pm it’s all over for Harris as even Steal 2.0 wouldn’t be able to save her then.
I think there are only two possible outcomes on Tuesday- Trump wins in a blowout with 330+ electoral votes and wins the popular vote, too- or Trump is narrowly ahead on early Wednesday morning by less than 500,000 votes spread across the swing states and the Democrats spend the next week harvesting new ballots to win.
“later on, we’ll conspire, as we dream by the fire, to face unafraid, the plans we’ll have made, 4 years down the road when Donald’s gone”. All the election does is give us a little more to prepare our own plans.
Gee, that sure does put me in that olde yuletide spirit.
It does feel like something has changed, like Trump is a last hoorah for white America before we move into the next era.
That next era is one where those alien weirdos might be weridos but they’re now the majority. It’s their country now. Normal whites either accept that or start trying to carve out something new for themselves.
Random thought here, I haven’t noticed any “dog whistle” claims lately about how this gesture or that body position is a signal supporting white supremacy. A little disappointed, it was fun when the media or 4chan would claim that things like the “ok” sign was some kind of call to action. Now that they’re bringing up Hitler 24/7 they could say that blinking or head scratching is an invocation of the Fourth Reich, not that hard to amuse me…
Assuming Trump gets in, I don’t envy him his job. He’ll be holding a weak hand internationally and the things he wants to do domestically take several years to implement, if not decades.
Meanwhile here’s a recently published piece in New Left Review, just off the printing press, so to speak:
https://newleftreview.org/issues/ii149/articles/anton-jager-hyperpolitics-in-america
What about the domestic front?
There’s no guarantee that Trump will get friendly majorities in the houses of Congress.
Even if he does, Speaker Johnson seems like exactly the sort of person that would undermine Trump the way Ryan did during the first two years of Trump’s first term.
Seeing as how this may be our last weekend in America, well…
Cheers, lads and lassies!
“No other country could produce a politician like Donald Trump. Even by American standards, he is a singular figure, a force of nature who has changed everything during his time in the arena.” The first sentence there expresses what is beyond doubt. “Only in America” applies to Trump more than almost anyone else. The last bit of the second sentence is nevertheless an overstatement. Trump has unquestionably changed the cosmetics and the rhetoric of American politics in ways that were unfathomable before he showed up at the party. However, it doesn’t appear that the U.S. Government is any different at… Read more »
[…] weekly podcast. Highly […]
Heh, been waiting on that new website for about four years. Pretty regular prediction, too. How’s the book going? Genuinely curious, the last year has been busy for ya.
Donald Trump, a man who does not read and speaks a video vernacular, is a great people person. He thinks he’s superior but he still likes his lessers. The man who goes to Trump Tower to fix his plumbing has more in common with the Queens boy than all the socialites of Manhattan. Brash, bold and hair-beautiful, the Donald reminds one of a romance novel cover gone rogue and aged. Thanks to reality TV, we got to see Donald in his element weekly, and it was fascinating. He’s a creature of the video Internet, of YouTube rather than Salon. But… Read more »
