That bitcoin guy conned the left the same way blm conned the left, by appealing to their emotions. blm even went so far as to come straight out and admit their leaders were trained marxist agitators and if you looked at their website they were way more interested in promoting the rainbow jihad than they were in helping black people. But, they had a nifty title and they had the media 100% in the bag for them. You even had blm crap stenciled on baseball diamonds in MLB ballparks. That little fat kid just saw how stupid cult members are and took advantage of it. Not much skill required for that shell game. It's kinda like playing keep away with a 3 month old pup.
As for Trump, he's gonna run and his cult is going to be just as loud, mean-spirited, and cranky as their dear leader is. But there are fewer of them now and his ego is already submarining his chances in 2024. People have Trump-lag, especially independent voters, and one thing the red trickle did was save biden. If that wave had taken place the party would have had justification for giving him the axe but now he will more than likely get to finish obama's third term. It should be fun watching that brain dead VP who got where she is because like peanut butter she is easy to spread going up against the woman from Arkansas who's name shall not be uttered here in the primaries. Gollum isn't done chasing the precious, not by a long shot. She'll be back and gassier and nastier than ever.
And all of that will work against Trump. Trump will be 78. The country will have gone through two more years of a nasty old man in the WH and Gollum will remind people that these boomers who will not relinquish power have got to go. Ron DeSantis can more than make up the loss of the die-hard Trumpers by brining along independents and cross over democrats who are sick of the groomers coming after their kids as they pay $6.00 for a gallon of gasoline and pay $600 each month to heat their homes in the winter. Trump will make a lot of noise, probably show up on CNN and MSNCB bashing the republican party and whoever beat him in the primary but at the end of the day he won't run any kind of meaningful third party challenge. He won't be able to afford it and no one will back him financially. He'll be busy paying court costs to fight his political enemies in NY who aren't going away.
I think Trump did a very good job prior to COVID. I think what the left has done to him and is doing is disgusting and represents the real threat to democracy. I also think they swiped the election from him 2020. But I also think his time has come and gone and the country needs a younger man who has proven he can govern effectively. It's time to end cult-of-personality-reality-TV politics and let younger more capable people who love this country every bit as much as Trump take a crack at fixing it. I see comments linking DeSantis to Bush, Cheney, mcconnell, the chamber of commerce, blah, blah, blah, blah. This all runs 100% contrary to the evidence but it doesn't matter to the Trump cult. They do what their dear leader tells them and if he says Ron DeSantis is a squishy republican that's good enough for them. But I believe their numbers are much smaller than they were in 2016 and 2020 and as Trump continues to attack all threats, real or imagined, in his paranoid egotistical fashion he will lose more and more support. I watched the election coverage on Blaze TV and he called in and gave an interview with Glenn Beck. That was the first time I had heard him speak in a while and I gotta say, his narcissism was on full display and his shtick has not gotten better with age. He told Jason Whitlock how much he liked him because Whitlock made some complimentary remarks about him just before he came on but he had no idea who Whitlock was. I'm sure I've heard you somewhere before, was all he said. But I bet he would have endorsed Whitlock for the senate if Whitlock said the same thing at some rally in a half empty parking lot.
I doubt anyone will read my little rant but I'm willing to bet if some die-hard Trumper does they will accuse me of being a mcconnell, bush, cheney guy and worse. For the record, I go back a long way with the conservative movement. I thought LBJ was an idiot, Nixon was a snake, Ford was a wimp, and I was a long-haired club musician who voted for Reagan twice. I never liked either bush and spent too many Christmas's away from home fighting wars those two got us into. I think rumsfeld and cheney should be tried for crimes against humanity and yes, I voted for Trump when he ran last time. But that was because he earned my vote. Like I say, he did a good job, but it's time to move past him. He'll run, he'll call Ron DeSantis all kinds of names based on nothing more than his paranoid egomaniacal cranky old nature but the Governor is strong enough to handle it.
I believe, as Douglas Murray pointed out, the red trickle was the best thing that could have happened. It stirred up the wrath against the right people, namely mcconnell and his house lackey mccarthy, and took the sheen off Trump. I know he is taking credit for every republican win everywhere for every job from postmaster to dog catcher but like it was with Whitlock I doubt he could tell you most of the winning republican names. He only remembers the ones who, in his mind, have betrayed him by failing to kiss hiss ass 24/7. Sorry, he owns Oz and Walker, and a lot of other candidates who were even Trump adjacent outside of MAGA world. People are fed up with both sides and the petty squabbles of boomers and if the republicans are smart they will find someone other than mccarthy for Speaker and look at the next election through the lens of the voters who will matter, independents. Facts are stubborn things and the facts are Trump does not play well beyond his base. If they run him in 2024 they will lose and obama will get to put his finishing touches on his fundamental transformation of America from a once great republic into a submissive sh*thole ready to be taken over by the WEF and the great reset. THAT is the real threat to our democracy, not the chamber of flipping commerce. Go ahead, attack me if you will, but that is life in the world of the way things are.
