One of the funny things about history is we have the benefit of hindsight and a good idea of how we want to shape it to fit our current needs, so we can choose who we like to be the great men of history. We also get to choose clever labels for certain periods that elevate them over other periods. The Age of Enlightenment sounds better than the Dark Ages and it flatters us to think we are the product of people who struggled from the muck of latter to create the former.
Of course, the people who lived in these times had a different view. The most famous example is the life of Jesus. Few people at the time cared at all about this man or even knew he existed. His followers, if anyone bothered to notice them, were just a number of such troublemakers kicking around at the time. Even after Christianity started catching on, most people saw it as another cult in an age of cults. Men of the first century would be shocked to learn they lived in the first century.
This is why we get our own age wrong. We want to think it is important, so we look for people and events to elevate, often not noticing men and events that will one day be considered the important bits of our age. Those old enough to remember the 1980’s marvel a bit at the changing fortunes of Ronald Reagan. At the time, it certainly seemed like he was a seminal figure. Now, he is looking like part of a transitional period from the Cold War to the ultimate decline of the American empire.
Probably the best example of this form of recency bias is Barak Obama. His fans at the time thought he was black Jesus. He was not just the first black president, but all the three letter heroes rolled into one swarthy savior. He was FDR, JFK, RFK and MLK with a dash of Lincoln thrown in due to having lived in Illinois. Less than a decade since he left office, he is a fading memory. His stumping for Kamala Harris in the election drew little media attention and had zero impact.
The truth is the great men of history are usually the epitome of some inflection point in the affairs of man. The communists are wrong to say that there are no great men, just great times that produce the necessary men. If someone bought one of Adolph’s paintings our past and present is very different. If Alfred the Great did not exist this post is written in runes rather than the English language. On the other hand, momentous times call forth the great man. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
It is hard to know if we are living in a momentous time. It certainly feels like it, but these are relative things. Again, the 1980’s felt like the hinge of history. The Cold War and thus the fate of the world would be decided. It is now looking like the Cold War will not be viewed as all that important in the grand scheme of things. Maybe the convulsions of this age will similarly be viewed as a ripple in the timeline. On the other hand, last night could be a date people recall generations from now.
On the surface, it certainly looks like Trump is an important figure. Only one other president came back after a defeat to regain the White House. Grover Cleveland lost in 1888 and came back to win in 1892. Only a few former presidents have bothered to run again for anything, and their luck was all bad. This means Trump is now a “one of two” which is the second rarest of things in history. He is also the one of one in other things like impeachments and getting shot in the ear.
The Grover Cleveland example is a good reminder that being the first at something or even the only of something does not make for a great man. If Trump’s next term is quiet, then he could just as easily be forgotten. Given the circumstances around his political career, that seems unlikely. That is where the other part of the great man versus great times debate comes into the picture. This is a changing age. The world is changing, and the American civilization is changing with it.
That means future historians will no doubt pick some date or presidency to mark as the beginning of the change and then one as the end. Somewhere in that range will be Donald Trump or possibly, he is both ends of that range. We may look back at the Trump Era as the great transition from the post-Cold War America to whatever we call the period that comes next. Maybe it is called the multipolar age. It could also be the break from old America to the new, majority-minority America.
Again, it is hard to know about these things, but one thing we can be sure about is that we will not see another Donald Trump. Like the civilization that produced him, he has his faults, but those faults do not lie in anything sinister. No one has seen or will ever see a force of nature like this man. He is a Nietzschean figure in that he has fully embraced his destiny and lived it. He probably started his political career for superficial reasons, but in the end, he is the great man of his age.
As is always the case there will be plenty of people rending their garments and gnashing their teeth today. The “fascists” have won they will tell us, as they enjoy their luxurious lives of comfort. Others will seek to immiserate you by pulling forward their expected unhappiness so they can be miserable today. The rest will soak in the moment of having seen something no one will see again. It has been a dark and dangerous time but, well, e quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle.

For progressives, and certainly for female boomer progs, Trump is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, the self-chosen instrument of their own destruction. They called to mind the person they despised more than any other, and providence ordained that he would be their nemesis. It’s indescribably satisfying to watch them scream and run.
In my eyes Don will fail if there is not serious retribution starting day one for all the damage the DC scumbags have done to America and the World. No less than mass firings and a lot of criminal charges is acceptable.
I’d like to see him revoke all of Biden’s executive orders.
He should also cancel all the security clearances of all the Marxists in the shadows that use their access to secret information for Marxist power gains.
Pardoning the Jan 6 political prisoners, as well as Doug Mackey, would go a long way for me – particularly since he pardoned slimy juice like rubashkin in 2020.
Absolutely, another promise he had better keep, and rapidly…
They need to find a few people who committed election fraud and give them the J6 treatment as a warning for future elections.
Arrests and executions or it didn’t happen.
Turns out both sides of “the wall” are useful for different things.
I want to get sick of hearing “No one is above the law” as the persecutions flow like a flood from a broken dam.
Agree. Allowing overt evil to go unpunished is a mistake.
Aye. Reprisals, not conciliation.
indeed; reconciliation is not possible with people who want you invaded, beaten, and your dick cut off.
What he needs to do is to build prison camps and fill them.
Why prison camps? Why do we need to feed these people? Even helicopters are more cost-effective.
Trump, above all, must keep his promises to put RFK and Elon in positions where they have the power to take out the trash…If not, he will fail…
Looking at the Dem popular vote totals over the years is hilarious. Obama 08 – 70M, Obama 12 – 65M, Clinton – 66M, Biden – 81M, Harris – 66M. Which one of these doesn’t belong? This makes the 2020 election look even more ridiculous, yet I guarantee that nobody in the media will talk about how Biden’s hand-picked successor fell off FIFTEEN MILLION VOTES and fell back to the long-term average. Also to note is that Trump is at 71M which is extremely close to the ceiling he set in 2020. This election seems to be what 2020 would have… Read more »
She should end up breaking 70, California is still barely over half counted for instance, but she still looks to be about 10 million shy of the Great and Wonderful Biden. Who we must include in our discussion of the great men of history, since nobody else could ever get anywhere close to as many votes as he did.
Not a popular take:
Elon Musk is the inflection point.
As seen on X “Who else but Musk realized you could just buy the Death Star (X) when it was 80% completed?”
I don’t know how that man organized the elites, or if was him specifically, but he’s very much the front man.
Also a factor – Zuck taking up BJJ.
I remember my squishy bleeding heart beliefs falling by the wayside after I took up muay thai. If you have a son, enroll him in combat sports at the earliest opportunity.
I see that and raise you Bezos mainlining TRT for several years and dumping his AWFL wife for a cartoonish Latina bimbo.
Haha good point. And also Jamie Dimon (and others like him) watching the economy lose so much, they got tired of losing.
Musk should be in prison. It’s the reason he glued himself to Trump in the first place. He is under investigation for his putting full self driving on our roads.
I feel like last night’s result and the lack of pushback this AM tends to confirm my occasional thoughts that the color revolution madness of 2019-2024 was the Marxists’ last, best shot at finishing off America and turning it into a complete banana republic. I mean, look around this morning. The MSM are grumbling but mostly falling in line. There were a few Antifa true believers on the streets of Seattle that were quickly rolled up. BLM is totally AWOL. Most importantly, there isn’t much noise about legal pushback coming out of official DC. I don’t think there will be,… Read more »
There are several stages to grief, keep your powder dry.
After 2020, it feels surreal to see them rolling over so quickly. The Trump as fall guy scenario is very much in play.
If by fall guy you mean getting the US to fight Iran for the Tribe and convince all those MAGA white boys to enlist and die for the cause, then yes.
Those white boys have learned their lesson. Trump won’t ask them and they wouldn’t enlist even if he did.
As to Israel, the Pentagon will let Trump know that we can’t get into a war with Iran because we’d lose what respect the world still has for our military power. There’s nothing he can do.
Israel’s attack on Iran using our best equipment utterly failed. We don’t have anything better to throw at Iran, so we won’t try. Welcome to the new world where Jews can’t use their US golem to get whatever they want.
They all know 2020 was stolen; what’s more, they know half of America knows it too.
You don’t rob the same bank twice two days in a row.
True. This makes important swift severe punishment. The swine must be harvested.
For some odd reason, I just experienced the most intense craving for a big fat ham-and-cheese on sourdough…
After 2020 I read a lot of Substacks and the like about the unaniminity of the elites, and how this is basically totally unseen in the history of empires. In one sentence, it was that all elite institutions and elites were on the same page in terms of culture, America’s role in the world, so on and so forth. I think yesterday proved this wasn’t the case. It is quite obvious that a subset of elites were not happy with the color revolution and decided to put a different plan in motion. When Elon Musk said that he was f*cked… Read more »
The worth of X in terms of political power is more than the rest of big tech combined excluding maybe Google.
I think that point was pretty good though. Drumming up 10+ million worth of fake votes required a buy-in from all the players (and recall they killed the son-in-law of the Georgia governor to keep The Steal in place). The problem though was that their religious zealotry undermined the reality in which they needed to rule so fracturing was inevitable.
I believe the theory about elite unity was featured most prominently on the, “Fisted by Foucault,” Substack under the phrase, “turbo America.”
Say what you will about Elon, but his ability to envision the future is outstanding.
I will slightly disagree regarding Twitter. I think Elon envisioned a future where he hadn’t bought Twitter and his net worth was lawfared to zero, much like Rudy Giuliani.
Thus, the purchase of Twitter to maintain his net worth for another 5 years was a sensible, calculated risk.
Didn’t he ‘buy’ it with mostly other people’s money. That also suggests a counter current among the monied elite.
But how many of these new elites are there, and what institutions do they control? You’ve got Musk, one of the most powerful men on the planet, Thiel, Carlson and perhaps a few others. But their satrapies are infinitesimal compared to those of the Left–academia, media, Hollywood, Fortune 500, etc. Now don’t get me wrong. The new elites are very important and they did yeoman work on behalf of Trump, and whether they realize it or not, white people. But they are still merely valiant knights fighting hordes of dragons with switches and slingshots. Perhaps the next step is for… Read more »
It is looking like the only states Harris will hit 60% in are California (maybe), Hawaii, Vermont and Massachusetts. Even in states where Trump did no campaigning like Illinois she is way off Biden’s numbers. She should have been getting higher percentages in some of these places due to Republicans fleeing the lockdown states. The most reasonable conclusion is that several million people had ballots cast on their behalf in 2020 and they weren’t able to do that this time.
One implication of Biden’s absurd vote difference is clear enough. DJT will be the 46th president, not the 47th. The Oval Office is occupied by a pretender, but a pretender has no authority. So every E.O. signed by the pretender is illicit. Likewise, there having been no authentic president since DJT was forced out, no bill passed by Congress was ever presented to a president (Const. I.7.2). Thus every statute supposedly made by the USG with the pretender’s signature is fake law. I don’t recall if any statute passed over a veto, but if so it too is fake, for… Read more »
I feel certain that 2020 was stolen in multiple illegal ways and that many of Biden’s 81 million votes were fake. That said, I also think there were millions of voters in 2020 who were hysterically motivated to try to stop Trump, but who then got demoralized and demotivated after the kali yuga awfulness of the past four years.
At least until several decades from now when Warlord Baron Trump sweeps out of the Catskills with his horde of marauders to sack New York City and reclaim his father’s throne.
(Hey, it could happen).
It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog. After his term is over, Trump can go back to being a successful property developer and has no incentive to kowtow to DC. This is his strength. Remember the homily of your fiercest enemy being the one who has nothing left to lose. One hopes he would pardon the all J6ers, clean house at the cia fbi and Secret Service. Pass mandatory retirement age limits or mandatory maximum terms of government service. Eliminate entirely the mandates for covid vaccines and don’t… Read more »
My only regret is that I’ll be too old to lend a helping halberd.
I’m a Gen X guy. Reflecting on the last 30+ years. I’ve been witness to The fall of the Soviets, Gulf War I, 9/11, Gulf War II and the war on terror, financial meltdown of ’08, ruinous Hope and Change, rise of the smart phone, covid, and now Trump -vs- the deep state. I was not intimately involved, but all of these events have impacted the lives of our families and our view of the world.
Where did the 81 million voters go? Projecting, looks like Harris will end up barely cracking 70. And Trump looks to finish in the mid 70s about where he did last time. Harris breaking 70 would still be 2nd best all time for a Democrat, behind Joe, who evidently was just that wildly popular. Previous record holder was Obama with 69 million. So that’s roughly 10 million D voters, never seen before 2020, who dropped off the face of the earth just as quickly.
Yeah, I am waiting for the final tally, but there is a post coming on that topic for sure.
But stats guru Steve Sailer assured me that there wasn’t anything anomalous about the 2020 election. Seriously, what happened to that guy.
Sailer, a self-proclaimed “noticer,” who’s really bad at noticing. At least for the last several years.
I hadn’t read him in a couple of years so I checked his page out at Unz the other day. Seemed to be a lot of baseball posts and the usual mocking of MSM for not accepting racial differences.
I think Sailer is happy being allowed into the mainstream punditry world. He doesn’t seem too curious as to why he was allowed back. Indeed, Sailer doesn’t strike me as a particularly curious person in general.
Funny how when one comes up in the world one’s notice-o-meter tends to become dysfunctional.
I’m glad Trump won, but the reason I like him most is, Hillary STILL isn’t the President.
Always brings a smile to my face.
Lets hope he does a better job this time around, picking appointees.
He seems to have made a good start.
It’s notable that losing women candidates are 0 for 2 at addressing their supporters on election night. And 2 for 2 at sending a man out to do it instead.
I confess, I hadn’t thought of that.
The narrative will be,”see, he’s a misogynist. He keeps waymin out of high office!”
Finally, is it just me, or do both of those failed shrews appear as every guys ex wife?
I’m calling it now: Harris and Emhoff get divorced in the next few years. It stank of arranged marriage: “Nobody wants to vote for a single woman for President.” And I think that was part of the plan even back when she was running for Senate.
The idea that those two have romantic feelings for each other is, frankly, ludicrous.
Hillary is the ex wife you regret marrying. Harris is the housekeeper you regret having a one night stand with.
A fascinating aspect to Trump winning is JD Vance. I suspect that Trump will give Vance a lot of responsibilities. Vance isn’t going to be the usual VP.
And where’s that a Vance, there’s a King Cobra! Interesting times ahead.
One of many reasons I didn’t vote and am not enthused regardless of the election’s outcome. I fully expect to see a pajeet president or VP before I die, and the prospect fills me with disgust.
Vance/King Cobra ticket is coming.
And the cuckservatards and magatards will fall right into line, standing shoulder to shoulder with all the H-1b visa holders and fake doctors and dentists. Make AINO fully brown – and it will be, regardless.
I am very much hoping that Trump leans on Vance and King Cobra, Ron Paul and Elon, and Barron’s shitposter friends, for policy guidance.
I’d be pretty surprised if Trump doesn’t rely heavily on Vance.
Vance is the best communicator to make it onto a GOP ticket since Kemp, who nobody really remembers because he ran with Dole. If Kemp had been at the top of the ticket instead, he might have won (I have always believed). And before Kemp, since Reagan.
A JD Vance with significant responsibilities/accomplishments seems a good plan as, if real change is to be accomplished, it won’t be done in Trump’s limited time as President. A Vance followup is essential. Problem is, can Trump suppress his narcissistic side for the good of the country and groom Vance as the experienced and most capable of Presidential successors in 2028. This seems doubtful as when have we seen such in the history of the VP office?
I wouldn’t have thought so four years ago, but even Trump knows that his time is running out. For him to have a political legacy, he’ll need Vance to continue his agenda. Trump’s ego might be a positive for Vance.
I think that you hit something with multi-polarity. It’s what’s happening globally and domestically. The 500-year rise and then dominance of European peoples and ideas is finally coming to a close. Trump seems to be last hurrah for that world.
Enjoy him.
I think you are on to something too. If Trump is the last hurrah then he can’t be seen as a Great Man. I think he is a force of nature, but his lack of intellect and his lack of a real viable network with a viable and cohesive viewpoint is lacking. His UN speeches were incredible and eloquently written by someone in his circle. To be a great man he would have to be the leader of a large and effective truly elite group of men. Their aim would have to be, and this is particularly true given that… Read more »
I upvoted your comment but it came out -1. Dunno why. ‘I also think they lack the will to assert dominance and control. To salvage this you cannot ignore the blatant treason that is rampant in every institution. Those people must be rooted out and punished commesurate with their crimes. I don’t see them having the will or the interest.’ Yeah. All this talk of Greatness in the wake of one election victory is short-sighted. All of the institutions — and D.C. — are still in the hands of the enemy. The Deep State, consisting mostly of women (feminists) in… Read more »
“Less than a decade since he left office, he is a fading memory.”
He was a fading memory even while in office and even in his first term. Within a few months many (most?) had realised he was nothing but a handful of cliches, endlessly regurgitated. All style and no substance.
All that I hope from Trump the second time around is that he be a more careful and prudent manager of imperial decline. His success here will perforce be difficult to quantify.
The enthusiasm was gone in 2012. He went through the first debate with Romney like he was bored with the whole thing and just wanted to watch sports.
I heard gen X had the highest percentage of trump voters. Padraig Martin was right! We are the best!

He’s wrong about this: “The Silent Generation was a bit too small to have a major impact on society.” If you look at the ranks of ’60s radicals and some of the most vile people in public life even in recent days, a lot of them were Silent Gen. Dementia Joe himself is Silent Gen. Silent Genners are the worst. ETA: He’s also cheering on the Gen-Xer’s war of choice, Gulf War 1, Yeah, we kicked Saddams ass! Wooo! America, f*ck yeah! … Gag.

I’m waiting for Bono to drive his car over a cliff. It’s the main reason I wanted Trump to win.
Bono’s always been all in for the bonobo…
On behalf of Canada, we ask they stay right where they are. We already have one too many narcissistic juvenile libtards wrecking the place for their own gratification.
And now Justin is stirring up quite a stink with India. Didn’t see that one coming!
They never move to Mexico
Exile them all to Africa
It’s a good sign that the baby killer vote was unable to deliver an evil outcome in this election.
Sounds to me like white women voted their tribe rather than their plumbing. If so, a salute to the dames.
We’ve come a long way since late 2016. Trump winning then did not make America based…it emboldened the Enemy to harrass, accuse, dox, and murder. Then some green-haired retard at Twitter decided to ban the Babylon Bee, and since then everything has been improving.
Now even establishment Republicans are using 2016 talking points. This is a good timeline, and comeuppance, and we should all enjoy it.
Indeed– I am trying to be happy and Jsut savor the dang moment.
it is very difficult, I will admit, because the Trump II years could lead to some of our side’s complacency.
But I will enjoy every drop of schadenfreude in me. So there’s that.
The one interesting angle is the Dem party basically becoming the HR Department of the country. At one point in time the party was ruled by economic leftists which shifted to racial radicals and finally: rule by wine-aunt. Will Kamala’s loss push those kooks aside (in favor of other kooks)? Doubtful.
Yes. The structural and institutional dominance of the wine-aunt has yet even to be addressed. Much less overcome.
Sometimes it is friggin awesome to be wrong 🤣🤣🤩🤩🥳🥳
I am genuinely surprised he won. I expected the usual cheating and fortification. Whether Trump is being set up to take the fall for an economic crash, who knows? Whether he can genuinely do anything to help a cratering economy and middle class, who knows? Whether enough dems decided to forgo cheating because they want a crack at 2028 (odious Shapiro in PA), who knows? I don’t think like these people. Trump can hardly be worse than the dementia patient, although I’m not happy to see the return of Javanka.
While I’m not surprised that he won the legitimate vote, I am surprised at the ease of it, that it was called on election night, that nobody is putting up much of a fight about it (yet).
Hard to tell if Trump is set for a fall, but the odds are high of such a fall—whether “planned” or serendipitous. Trump takes the reins of a greatly weakened GAE. No need to rehash all the aspects of such. In short, America is not the same as when he first ascended to the office. As has been the case for many decades now, the Dem’s turn over a listing and leaky ship (of State) and the Rep’s attempt to right it. After which, the Rep’s politely turn it back over to the Dem’s for more mischief (read looting). My… Read more »
It was an unexpected stay of execution. It was not overturning the sentence or anything like that. Your more moderated take is the right one. I just allowed myself to savor this one
And how! I was utterly convinced Steal II was in the works.
I still would put Reagan as a seminal figure because the nuclear tensions with the Soviets were incredibly high. Such as the “1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident.” He got not just us, but the world, through a perilous time. Soon, communism was gone without a nuclear war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident
Reagan is also helped by his excellent speech writers and his Biblical delivery.
One major attitude Reagan had right was, “peace through strength,” which I believe Trump shares.
History remembers the waves of change that occurred rather than the ones that were avoided by the leading men of the time. The Great Man of History is the one who creates those waves of change. Second place for those who tame them. This is why Reagan is being forgotten except in the context of immigration and the destruction of California. The people who were aware at the time live with the relief of not dying in nuclear war. Everyone lives with the waves of change of mass immigration, and it is those waves of change that will leave a… Read more »
imagine how Trump is going to taunt all the Diddler celebrities!
Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
To quote Kamala quoting the Psalmist: ” . . joy cometh in the morning.” I’ll be processing this for awhile, but last night’s results should be the jolt I need to get out of an extended funk. I sure appreciate the Dante quote; passing from Hell to Purgatory is progress. One can endure the upcoming travail if there is hope and there is plenty of hope right now.
Grabbing ’em by the pussy for four more years!
Slap that one on the bumper of your Silverado and watch the heads explode. Heh.
Some time back there was a mention of a sort of guide or index created by some commie traitor organization that attempted to be a comprehensive index of all the bureaucratic choke points of the regime. I forget what it was called but if the premise was sound and the index useful it would be interesting and instructive to keep it around as a reference to keep track if the new administration is having any success purging the traitorous scum and installing loyal partisans.
If I had to pinpoint one inflection point it was the first assassination attempt. You can’t fake how he reacted in the heat of the moment to having a rifle bullet zing past his head so close it took some ear with it.
Trump is a fine digression, but as said, “all politics is local”. On that note, it looks like AZ has turned a deeper shade of Blue. It is now nearly impossible to obtain office without an Hispanic surname. So goes demographic change. The aspects of what once made AZ a conservative forerunner in the nation, such as “Constitutional Carry”, “Charter Schooling”, and school tuition vouchers may disappear soon. Our current Dem governor turned a budget surplus of a billion dollars into a deficient of $500M in the first two years of her term. Of course, the “holy grail” of unlimited… Read more »
Cooled to Trump by ‘20, still haven’t warmed back up, but I’m sure glad he won. Seemed dead in the water before the summer. It is remarkable stuff.
One last chance, doesn’t matter a damn if we don’t have the will to stop being an open society.
The elites probably rigged the 2020 presidential election.
The elites probably funded and directed the antifa and BLM riots.
And once Biden was president, the elites turned antifa and BLM off like a light switch.
These observations suggest that the elites had a decisive amount of power and control not so long ago.
And today that power and control is nowhere to be seen. It’s hard to explain why the elites didn’t crush us like before.
I’m not complaining, but this feels like some sort of trap or deception, like we are missing some crucial understanding of the present.
Line, no secret to it if one believes in G-d.
He promised Abraham: “I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you”.
This country has been an unparalleled asylum for Jews for 250 years, and I was sure Trump was going to win this election to save and guide us into a better future.
The Regime worked hard to keep a lid on the boiling pot of economic, social, military and foreign relations problems as long as their puppets were in office. A big blowup is inevitable. With their Nemesis in office, now is a good time for the Regime to let the blowup happen. The next few years will be interesting times.
Here’s a thought — maybe Donald Trump isn’t really a threat to elites. Maybe elites realize that he makes for a perfect Emmanuel Goldstein character (see Orwell’s “1984” for the reference). Maybe they realize that installing an obvious Affirmative Action/DEI candidate (Harris) as president would be a very bad look for them and would completely affirm much of the pushback against DIE-versity. Let us not forget that Mr. Trump is unabashed in his undying love for “our greatest ally.” I suspect he’s a better option for the true power players than the alternative was. Strangely, an over-the-hill and barely lucid… Read more »
One hopeful hypothesis is that some of the “elites,” alarmed by the kalergi flavored insanity of the “left,” came over to Trump, enough of them to squash the effort to steal, and to get him elected. It’s certainly plausible, since we know some of them by name. Biden was sold as a return to “normalcy,” and instead his term saw a ramping up of the chaos which they had previously blamed on Trump. Opening more eyes to the true source of the chaos. There is a limit to how much insanity will be tolerated from any regime. It’s one thing… Read more »
The difference between 2024 and Trump’s other campaigns is that this time he had at least a minority of elites onboard. What promises he made to secure that support is unknown at present (though we can guess).
Regardless, he divided the very people who rigged the game before, so that they were unable or unwilling to repeat the scam, especially given the worst opposition candidate in this or any other timeline.
Simply masterful.
What an amazing day.
If the libs follow the law (HA!) and Trump wins the national popular vote, they might have to activate the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
This would direct 17 states (CA, NY, NJ, IL, DC, CO, WA, OR, etc) to order their electors to vote for Trump.
I may die from a broken funny bone. Pray for me.
Trump’s campaign should file the paperwork in their respective state courts.
People deserve Donald Trump to the same degree that they hate him. If the haters had sufficient self-awareness, they would appreciate the man for providing them with such a villain figure who enables them to justify their insanity. One senses that their lives would be somewhat less meaningful without him. Most of the folks who love Trump deserve better than him. Or maybe they deserve a system that is more open to genuine reform. They deserve a Trump who could actually be effectual. That Donald Trump is a “larger than life figure,” at least in a cultural sense, cannot be… Read more »
Most of me feels that 2024 is a mandate for Trump, and it highlights how the 2020 election was stolen. But part of me also thinks that possibly neither are true as much as I want to believe, and it’s more that, as America declines, people keep voting to try to turn back the clock to the last time America was more functional and sane. Anti-traditional America Jews conquered America in the late sixties and early seventies, and the nation has been sick and declining since. By the Bush Jr years, we had slid to a pretty mediocre unsatisfying place. Some people… Read more »
And sometimes history turns on a simple turn of the head…
Trump may be defined not by his policies or even his presidency(s) but by how the people who hate him respond to this turn of events.
Hail Donald J. Trump! If it weren’t so early in the morning I would hoist a libation in salute and in the hope for his future health and success. He’s probably not the greatest American, but he is unquestionably the only great man AINO has produced, and may be the only such figure before this all goes up in smoke and ash. As for Z’s highly interesting historical observations (the Dark Age/Englightment observation was particularly choice), I don’t think there can be much doubt that the sixties, both the 19th- and 20th-century variants, are the key decades. The 1860s set… Read more »
Cuckservatism hardest hit.
Thankfully we still have the FBI protecting us from white supremacy:

The sequel is no better than the original Whitmering.
Enjoy 😁😁😁

Marine Le Pen has expressed hope that Trump’s election represents the start of a new era characterized by bilateral cooperation between nations rather than dictatorial missives from globalist international institutions.
I’ve been savoring this for the past 12 hours. It’s even sweeter than 2016, given 2020’s shenanigans.
The only thing I could ask for now is an investigation into where those extra 15M votes from 2020 went.
sniff, lame!
Great Men often rely on circumstances to get them lift off the ground. Napoleon had the chaos of the French Revolution; Hitler had the desperation of the Great Depression. Trump might have something terrible of his own: the collapse of the national debt load. We are very near an inflection point in terms of debt. Trump is old enough to have lived through New York’s financial crisis of the 1970s. That mess was straightened out, but this one is much more gigantic. Trump has already floated a debt repayment idea of paying pennies on the dollar to creditors. What that… Read more »
‘No one has seen or will ever see a force of nature like this man.’
That is just silly.
