He had 42 prior arrests including for assault, threatened to hurt people on the subway, and was a drug addict.

If not for X you wouldn’t know this. The media is evil.

There is an epidemic of white police officers killing unarmed black men, we must block the puberty of children born in the wrong bodies to prevent them from killing themselves, the Russians control Trump through a sex blackmail operation, the Covid vaccine prevents infection, millions or billions will die from starvation and harsh weather from climate change, there's no way a Covid virus could have escaped from a lab, mass migration improves societies with no trade-offs, it's best for addicts if we give them hard drugs to use in special sites downtown, we need the government to fight misinformation online in order to save democracy, Biden is sharper than ever, Kamala is 100% prepared to be president, and anyone who disagrees is racist, sexist, and/or fascist.

While many Americans are increasingly and at least partially aware that all of the above are lies, we are still a long way from coming to grips with their enormity, their monstrous consequences, and the totalitarian ways in which the mainstream news media, many employers, and governments demanded that we believe them. Current and former heads of state, our most-trusted journalists, and full professors at Ivy League universities created and propagated those Big Lies, repeatedly, for years, even after they had been thoroughly debunked, sometimes within days or hours of them being made, by people who ruling elites then sought to bankrupt, shame, and ostracize.

There has not yet been a proper accounting of the very many abuses of power, including the Big Lies, by elected officials, the media, and other governing elites during the Woke Reign of Terror (2013 - 2024). That accounting will need not only to thoroughly debunk all of the major lies, it will also need to explore why elites created and perpetuated them, why so many people believed them, why they lasted for so long, and what can be learned from them, both separately and how they worked together as a whole, constituting the worldview of the people who run Western societies and nations. Historians, sociologists, psychologists and many others will, for centuries, study the Work Reign of Terror as a uniquely irrational and self-destructive period in America's history. Hopefully something good, including wisdom, courage, and improved self-governance, will come out of those studies and reflections.

The people who ran Kamala Harris for President and had Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House are suddenly very very concerned about officials drinking

There is a fundamental paradigm shift that the democrats have not yet adjusted to. How fast they adjust will determine if they survive and how long it will take them to come to power again.

Early protestants rebelled against a top-down, corrupt authority that had lost its legitimacy with the people. That's not to say that the protestants were saints, but that the "sola scriptura" paradigm of encouraging people to read the bible themselves and make their own conclusions instead of trusting the priests is a direct analog of "do your own research" today.

The Trump 2.0 coalition is composed of people who can make their own conclusions and defend their own opinions on the merits, not because some expert said so. Elon, RFKjr, JD Vance, Tulsi will not always agree, and that's a good thing, because without uniformity of opinion, you don't get censorship.

the Democrats on the other hand have atrophied their ability to even evaluate reality independently. The people who were independent minded have moved to the MAGA side, and those who operate by elite consensus (*cough* neocons *cough*) have left the Republican party and joined the Democrats this cycle.

The problem is that elite opinion has beclowned itself over and over and over throughout the last few years. It has little to no pull on the public anymore, and for good reason. Russiagate, Afghan withdrawal, COVID, "too big to fail", lawfare, and the censorship enacted to keep the other lies viable, have all demonstrated just how broken the paradigm of depending on elite-minded, carreer experts who benefit from telling elites what they want to hear. That paradigm is dead and we're not going back.

So for the Democratic party to become competitive again, it will have to find a way to embrace the voices that can compose and defend a worldview on first principes, not edicts. And unfortunately for them, they've been busy purging exactly those people for the last decade or longer.

Following the protestant reformation analogy, the Democrats will need their own counter-reformation if they want to survive. Acknowledge the most eggregious errors, fix obvious procedural issues, change the tone and attitude of their engagement with the people, and purge the most obvious shills.

I see many people trying to latch on to one issue or another. "It's the trans thing!", "It's the economy!", "It's the censorship!", "It's the anti-semitism/It's the genocide!", "It's kamala!", "It's Ukraine!", "It's Rogan!" they say. And the truth is, it's all of these and yet none of them specifically. All or most of these are symptoms of the loss of conviction in one's own opinions and will to lead from the front. The refusal to even put together a quasi-coherent world-model that isn't obviously batshit insane.

My prediction is that the Democrats are in for a long period in the wilderness. Much like Clinton pulled them out of a 12-year stint in opposition, they need to find someone to undo the milquetoast "third way" technocratic nothingness that Clinton turned the Democrat ideology into. And it may well take them 8 or 12 years to find that kind of leadership.

Starting 2014, crackhead Hunter Biden was paid $ 1 million a year by Ukraine gas giant Bursima because he was an "energy expert" but was really a way for Ukrainian oligarchs to buy influence from Joe Biden.

This is also the first year of his retroactive pardon by his father.

Kamala Harris is the 1st candidate since Herbert Hoover 1932 who did not flip a *SINGLE* county

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

The WH flagrantly lied about this even *after the election*. Look, I could be persuaded if you wanted to tell me that politics is just bloodsport. But these people are convinced of their own moral superiority when anyone with half a clue knows otherwise.

I've been trying to figure out why I'm more optimistic now than I was before the election, even though I was so against the guy who won. I know now. MAGA is not my mortal enemy (and neither is the extreme left). My mortal enemy is the establishment. And they have been defeated!
