From Jung Man, a better and more honest analysis of the Trump Era and the cultural and economic conditions that led to Trump’s rise than you will find in any “authoritative” newspaper or “respectable” magazine:
Teaching the Saxon to hate was not Trump’s genius; this had been tried by many in the past decades leading up to the 2016 election, from David Duke charlatan comedy-tier all the way up to Pat Buchanan erudite but flaccid-tier. In any case, by 2015 many white Americans could feel something was intrinsically wrong with having the most prestigious institutions in the land staffed by specially bred banana republic negresses that would make the Third World blush. The injustices and pure, unbridled clownery from about 2012 onward – Trayvon Martin, Ferguson, the President of the United States shucking and jiving in the Oval Office with the rap star du jour – was enough to ferment a powerful, if largely unspoken, anger among normal white Americans, to say nothing of them losing their livelihoods while being demographically dispossessed by the Mesoamerican hordes. It wasn’t just LARPers on /pol/ or GamerGaters on reddit: real, ordinary people could feel something was deeply wrong with the nation, and they were pissed. To appeal to MPC’s many Arabists, we were living through a modern-era American cultural jahiliyyah, a dark age of ignorance replete with iPhones wherein the leadership of the country was openly hostile to its historic people and their values and rejoiced vocally in their decline. I try not to do too many Dune references – something about it strikes me as a very Saileresque goonery-as-analysis conceit (and, besides, many better poasters have already made the apt comparisons) – but there was certainly an unacknowledged but palpable bond that developed sometime between 2012-2015 among large swathes of American whites a la the Fremen from the book; this American asabiyyah is what led to the proto-formation of the alt-right in the years leading up to 2016, but that was only ever a largely Millennial and Xer phenomenon, one expression of the underlying current. In short, your boomer mechanic likely never went on /pol/ and posted a cartoon of Pepe looking at IQ stats, but he was most assuredly culturally and spiritually tapped into this phenomenon; he knew the score. We all did.
The reaction was there, but much like King Arthur’s sword, it could only be wielded by a certain sort of man. This was not a job for the Ron Pauls of the world, and certainly not for the Jeb!s. It would take a man who could tap into this vast cultural zeitgeist in a chill, fratty, and Chadly way, at once lending credence to the ravings of incels on 4chan while still appealing to the American public at large. It would take an Apex Chad, and (if you subscribe to Chad Theory) only one of those exists at any given time. Donald Trump was the absolute right man at the absolute right time, and his genius was and is being able to package the Saxon’s hate into something palatable, at once appealing to the type of person who read Moldbug while simultaneously appealing to the type of people who were simply tired of hearing Spanish in public all the time. From the drop – rightfully calling Mexicans rapists at his very first press conference – it was clear Donald Trump was a whole different sort of animal, and he had lockstep support virtually from that moment on. That’s what the elites never understood, to this day still don’t understand: the Americans who put Trump in office would have voted for a plank of wood with a face drawn on it if it promised to upend the status quo. It was never his bombast, or his bullyciding, or his billions – it was that he felt what you felt, what his entire voter base felt.
Trump’s charismatic bullyciding helped sell his message. If ¡Jeb! ran on Trump’s platform, complete with Jeb’s signature mewling, cucked defensiveness, and backpedaling under pressure, I doubt Jeb would have beaten thecunt.
It’s like how a girl will swoon for a charming jerkboy who is, on paper, identical in all other ways to a polite niceguy. That charisma — aka Game — makes all the difference.
He knew what was happening to the American people was wrong, and in one of history’s greatest ironies, was far more the Springsteen-esque everyman despite his ultra one-percenter lifestyle. The NYTimes and WaPo will cynically tell you that Trump tapped into white anxiety over the aforementioned factors to win the election, and they’re exactly right: Trump was the only candidate to tap into real, actual reactionary anger against what the Obama era had brought to America. Where the paper of record is wrong is merely that it doesn’t see these concerns as valid, whereas the historical American people knows they are life and death. In short, Trump made populism cool, and the rest is history.
Praise should be reserved for core elements of the proto-Alt-Right (or what I call the Maul-Right) for their tireless (and often memetically amusing) efforts to draw attention to the burgeoning demographic crisis and its consequences through reams of graphics, stats, data, tables, facts, and SCIENCE that all acted as a stone cold chadian counterweight to the sophistic “fact checks” of the extended shitlib universe. This stuff leaked into the white normie consciousness, even if normies weren’t yet ready for blatant race conscious polemics, and ultimately had a strengthening effect on their emotional attachment to Trump and what he implicitly represents.
Hatefacts may not win elections, but they help subconsciously acclimate voters to the idea of supporting a radical change candidate.
Out of all the many politicians to grace this era, only Trump can actually tap into what the American people feel; this is the same today as it was during the election, and it is the source of his power. Even as the s**tlib howls at you with his fact checks and datasets showing unfettered Third World migration is actually a net positive, Trump’s supporters remain resolute. It’s hard to overstate the damage the media has done to itself since Trump’s first appearance about three years ago; the mere cognitive dissonance of having virtually every news outlet tell you not to believe your own lying eyes has effectively caused Trump’s voter base to voluntarily remove itself from mainstream influence. There is nothing the elites could say or do at this point to make Trump voters abandon him, a fact that shitlibs have been very slow to realize but are starting to discover much to their horror. No amount of “Trump said vagina” or Russiagate will make you or me forget Slate and Salon running nonstop triumphant daily articles from 2012-2016 rejoicing in the death of historic America, of the over-the-top jubilation the left displayed towards the idea of whites being bred out by imported browns. Even today, the left has devolved into such a freakshow that Trump – a moderate, democratically-elected, 1990s-era Democrat from New York – is compared daily to the greatest criminals of the 21st century; the election caused the shitlibs’ already very fragile masks of sanity to slip. What the whites who put Trump into office suspected during the Obama era is now loud and proud and on display every single day for all to see: these people hate you, they want you dead, and they will work tirelessly to obtain this outcome.
The media discredited itself in its hysterical urgency to “get DRUMPPFF”. The Chaimstream Media thinks with Trump gone, America will go right back to honoring them as the gatekeepers of truth. Democracy will have beaten the darkness, and Jeff Bezos can cash another weekly billion while fitting his Post employees with location finders and pee break urethra sensors that limit them to one 30 second piss per day on threat of electrical jolt.
They are delusional. Their “resistance” hopes are the wishful thinking of a dead man walking; America isn’t going back to those halcyon days of 99% shitlib control of the vertical and horizontal. The horse is out of the barn, the wolf is among the sheep, the cats have escaped their spinster hovels and gone feral. At least half of America loathes the media with a passion, and the other half clings self-humiliatingly to the media like a safe port in a storm, knowing that their port is filling with sludge and a tsunami is on the way.
The left has proven itself wholly incapable of understanding any of this in the past three years; they still largely see Trump as a blip on the radar, a speedbump on the way to full Blade Runner Los Angeles. Look at their scapegoat for Trump’s ascendancy – dumb prole flyover whites were hoodwinked by Russian secret agents on Facebook telling them the fake news that Mexicans breed like rabbits and smell bad. It sounds insane, and it is; whereas Republicans will sadly probably always be the Party of Stupid, the left has become the uncontested Party of Unhinged since Election Night 2016 (oh, what a night
). Their bugmanische approach to Trump – scream Hitler and Fake News and “fact check” every time someone right of center yawns – are all meant to appeal to their idea of a rational voter. But, as Haidt, Taleb, and others have been telling them since well before 2016, they’re not getting anywhere with appeals to BIG DATA or Science! or fact checking. Trump intrinsically feels what is wrong with America (a very Chad instinct) and acts accordingly. He’s the once in a generation perfect storm president, and no amount of google doodles claiming naggers invented the space shuttle will make it not true.
Anyhow, got a bit off topic here, but the point is this: on June 16, 2015, I watched Donald Trump, Apex Chad, descend from on high down a golden escalator, and nothing has been the same since. Millions of Americans breathed a heavy sigh of relief as he publicly decried the Mexican invasion, knowing that they had just been spared the indignity of a Jeb!-gracelessly-losing-to-Hillary election. You can write entire books worth of posts about the dissatisfaction that white America felt (indeed, Sailer has made a rather boring career doing this), but the long and the short of it is simply that it would never have amounted to anything without Trump and his ability to connect with the average American. That he felt what Americans the country over did and was unafraid to say so made him President, and shitlibs with their reams of exit poll data will literally never understand this. And he did it all sans the credentials, slavish worship of BIG data, or expected gay comportment of a Republican politician in 2016. Truly, a miracle, and one must remember to thank God every day for bringing Donald Trump into our collective lives.
It was easier than it looked!
Trump may have helped accelerate the death of runaway credentialism, too, whether he knows it or not, and that’s a good thing.
If Trump’s one lasting legacy is his destruction of the lying legacy media, he will have done more good for America than the last four, maybe six, Presidents did combined. It will be no less an achievement than reversing the Fuggernaut and allowing Truth & Beauty to once again gain a foothold in this nation.
Frank Booth adds,
People looked around and realized how far things had slid down since 9/11, since the Great Recession, since Obama’s re-election and his “phone and a pen”. They realized they were poorer and less free than ever before, by a mile. Talk about a “Malaise Era,” the real Malaise Era was 2008 to 2016. And when you’re losing the game that badly, all you can do is flip the board.
First, we flipped the board.
Next, we win America back again.
Failing that, we change the game being played, with all that implies.
Libertardian replies to Booth’s comment,
Carter and both Bushes all rolled together were probably still better than Butt Nekkid’s second term.
9/11 was great for the traitors. Securing the border would have fixed the problem, of course, so they held it wide open and jumped at the opportunity to turn America into a police/surveillance state “for your own good.”
As for the Great Recession, it was utterly avoidable (by the simple expedient of not creating the bubble that caused it), and the subsequent bailout of the guilty at the expense of the nonparticipants is just another instance of the last bit from the quote above.
The Surveillance State is a growing evil descending like a shroud over America. I don’t think it’s on Trump’s radar, nor am I confident he perceives the ominous threat of it, but the man who follows Trump will, and that’s when the battle lines between deep state globalists and regular Americans become too clear to ignore, because if you think these swamp SWPLs can’t bear to relinquish their precious open borders, just wait until we demand they surrender their Big Brother surveillance powers.
Step One: De-diversify America. A White Christian America is a high trust America with no need for a Surveillance State.
