Trump Doesn’t Have Political Capital, He Has People Capital

Maul-Right rallies and protests in the heart of shitlib shires are important contributions to shifting the Weltanshauung to sanity, because (as reader PA might say) it’s good strategic sense to let shitlibs know they can’t strut around the public space anymore like they own it.

But rightist rallies, whether peripheral alt-right LARPfests or stadium-sized Trump throngs of Heritage America normies, won’t get the MAGA job done by themselves.

It’s fairly well grasped by even Joe Schmoe that Trump has no friends in the corrupt ruling class. The Dems, the GOPe, the media, the Creep State, academia, Big Tech, the billionaires, the Mohel Minority…they all hate Trump and all work tirelessly to thwart his nationalist populism vision. The evil arrayed against Trump is truly impressive, and terrible in scope. Even a God Emperor can’t stand against those odds and win without a little help from his friends. His friends…the half of the American people who voted for him.

As Agnostic writes, we the people are Trump’s leverage.

The oligarchic groups all desperately want the general public to butt out of politics, and Trump has a unique and distinct ability to turn the public loose on the political battlefield, and the oligarchs have no way to immediately shove the public back off. So that’s quite a bit of leverage, if applied.

Maybe that means motivating them to turn out at the polling stations to determine the winner of an election, and maybe it means motivating them to turn out to the Mall in DC, where millions of citizens assemble to order the Pentagon to get the hell out of Afghanistan (and other places).

What is the RNC or the DNC going to do to counter-act our collective action at the ballot box — rig tens of millions of votes? And what is the Pentagon going to do to counter-act a massive assembly demanding an end to our failed and wasteful foreign policies — open fire on millions of normal citizens? I don’t think so. They won’t be able to ignore that level of escalation from the people, and will have to fold lest it get worse. […]

But left by himself, Trump has very little power to inflict damage on the enemy groups or individuals — he needs his supporters to act as a force multiplier.

That base is nothing to scoff at. They can rescue this nation from the brink of a suicidal plunge into globohomo banana republicanism and tyrannical corporatocracy. But only if Trump calls on them, and only if they — you and I — are willing to step up and be his force multiplier.

On that note, what we should strive toward is a Great Cuck Chuck of 2018. Political and social agitation can create a groundswell for the ousting of GOPe cucks, either by primarying them or, if necessary, by supporting any halfway sane Dems against them in the general mid-term election. Traitors first, enemies second.

Trump may have to wait until after the 2018 midterms when the cucks are swept from power to begin enacting his pro-Heritage America agenda with a vengeance. Trump can play a part in making the Great Cuck Chuck of 2018 happen by dissociating himself from Congress as much as possible. Withhold his endorsements, endorse upstart populists, talk about “working with sensible Dems because the GOP isn’t interested in making America great again”, etc.

I believe Trump has his heart in the right place, and he is being strangled into assuming a lowly figurehead status by the denizens of The Swamp. But our God Emperor should not think he’s alone. He may have no friends in power, but he has power in his friends — ordinary Americans who voted for him because they rightly sensed the Deep State Globohomo Establishment is their enemy.
