Ukraine, Gaza, wildfires, inflation, illegal immigration, and the myriad off other issues Biden will leave in his wake is nothing compared to his latest gift to Trump... millions of people going though nicotine withdrawals at once. Prepare for riots that will surpass BLM's summer of love.

I will laugh so fucking hard if it turns out that this LA fire was caused by illegal Mexican immigrants. The limousine liberals and champagne socialists will turn so far right it will generate lift.

If cognitive dissonance could be turned into electricity, the limousine liberals and champagne socialists would generate carbon-free power for the nation for the rest of their natural lives before they admitted that the illegal immigrants have to go.

I'd love if someone in the know could compile a list of all the "strong black women" leaders who completely fucked things over under their "leadership". I know Chicago is another one. God I'm so happy Kamala lost, our country truly would be lost. Still scary how close it got though.

Right now the left is freaking out because they're going to have to deal with trump the next 4 years and their performative BS is getting on people's nerves.
But as someone who deals with the left on a near daily basis especially in my hobbies I know the left is not going to handle their shit atm.

Why do I feel like nothing significant would happen from this second Trump term?

I think most of the people upset by his first term are becoming impotent.

Without getting tinfoil hat-y, as an indigenous person from a tribe that views tobacco as sacred/purifying/a gift from the creator that wards off evil - I also side eye TPTB's vilification of tobacco, while simultaneously pushing the devil's lettuce. I personally think tobacco raises people's vibrations/awareness/alertness levels, and TPTB don't want to encourage people to "wake up". They'd rather people get zooted af & become functioning zombies due to extra-potent modern weed strains (modern weed is a hell lot stronger than the stuff from the 70's).

This has been my suspicion for a long time now. I've seen people functional all day while smoking, and I could never say the same with anyone that uses weed. The modern day strains are hard liquor to the basic beer levels of inebriation that weed had in the past. I've also always noticed the majority of weed smokers have absolutely no ambition and there's plenty of reasons to want to kill the drive of the people when the elites are speed running the fucking Bronze Age Collapse.

They swore up and down he was going to destroy the country... he didn't
They cheated in a dementia patient, they swore he'd bring back dignity to the white house... he didn't
They were given cart blanche OK to do anything they wanted under the promise things would get better... they didn't
She was supposed to be groomed as his understudy and apprentice statesman, ready to take over for him... she didn't
They ran on the hope that the country would ignore 4 years of democrat rule and forget 4 years of Trump rule being pretty ok, really... we didn't.

Outside of assassination, not sure what the plan is. A lot of the energy is gone because 4 years of lefty Biden rule was not the golden age they promised, and Trump in hindsight doesn't look that bad anymore.

The WaPo try to rehabilitate Biden's legacy.
January 14, 2025

WaPo publishes an attempt to rewrite history to boost Biden’s pathetic legacy​

By Jack Hellner


Where is Glenn Kessler, the person posing as a fact checker for The Washington Post, when you need him? Before publishing a claim that Joe Biden has left a “remarkable legacy” on the public health sector, shouldn’t we at least analyze his results?

Here’s this, from an article at the paper last Thursday:
Biden leaves behind a remarkable legacy in public health

History will remember Biden for his aggressive actions against covid-19, most notably for his part in a mass vaccination campaign that saved an estimated 3.2 million Americans in two years. But his work on health matters went far beyond the coronavirus pandemic. Two areas that deserve highlighting are his efforts to curb the opioid epidemic and to make prescription drugs more affordable.

Overdose deaths numbered roughly 78,000 at the end of Trump’s term in 2020 and have remained over 100,000 from 2021 to 2023—yet Dr Wen says overdose deaths have fallen under Biden. From an article at The New York Times in 2021:

And the WaPo wondered why they lost traffic.

Retards like you don't understand that a hostage deal like this is why the current war happened. Sinwar was in Israeli prison until Israel traded 1k Palestinian prisoners for Shalit. This just repeats the same mistake and wastes the lives of hundreds of IDF who died in Gaza

Lol I'm not the one seething, why would I? The whole point of my first post was how little I care about the negotiations.

Republicans.

US Supreme Court is Republican.
US House is Republican.
US Senate are all Republican.

President is a lame duck Democrat for a week, then Republican.

In the Federal Circuit Courts, of the 179 Courts of Appeals judges, 89 were appointed by Republican presidents, and 88 by Democratic presidents. Out of the 13 federal appeals courts, Democratic appointees have a majority on 7 courts, whereas Republican appointees have a majority on 6 courts.

As of January 13th, 2025, Republicans controlled 55.48% of all state legislative seats nationally, while Democrats held 43.56%. Republicans held a majority in 57 chambers, and Democrats held the majority in 40 chambers. Two chambers (Alaska House and Alaska Senate) were organized under multipartisan, power-sharing coalitions.

As of January 13, 2025, there are 23 Republican trifectas, 15 Democratic trifectas, and 12 divided governments where neither party holds trifecta control. State government trifecta is a term to describe single-party government, when one political party holds the governorship and majorities in both chambers of the state legislature.

In 2024 a FedSmith survey reported 52.8% of those responding preferred Donald Trump. 43.7% voted for Kamala Harris. 3.6% preferred “other” candidates. 63.8% of the survey respondents indicated they were current federal employees. 33.2% indicated they are retired federal employees. 1.3% identified as retired military. 0.3% identified as a federal contractor, and 0.2% said they worked for a federal employee union.

The military leans Republican.

25% of Federal Employees are in a union. Union employees are known to vote for the Democratic Party.

Who runs the Bureaucracies? Who's in charge of the actual machinery of government? The MAGA movement or entrenched, unelected bureaucrats? Is shit posting going to get rid of the theater kid occupied government?

My city doesn't have that problem. Has your own advice of attending city council meetings worked out for you?
Click to expand...
Your city's pretty special then, the reason most American cities suck is because their governments are captured by Democratic political machines. Shit posting isn't going to fix that.

UnidentifiedFlyingOrchid said:
Trump wouldn't be running on deportation if there wasn't a populist demand for it. That populist demand exists because of an undercurrent of anti-immigrant culture. That culture exists because of fringe shitposters willing to be excluded from "proper society".

How many rust belt voters do you think read shit posting on the internet? How many people do you think read shit posting on twitter or the Farms or the chans?

UnidentifiedFlyingOrchid said:
Stephen Miller is competent, which will get better results. But, many of the Senate and House Republicans voted in favor of flooding the US with cheap slave labor. It is only because the cultural tides have turned that they have changed course.
Click to expand...
Wait, I thought Republicans controlled everything. You're saying that hasn't helped? Senate and House Republicans still want to flood the US with cheap labor, it's just that Trump might get them fired.

Stephen Miller is the driving force behind Trump's actual policy. Not me, not you, not Musk, not the grifting street shitter, not the Farms, not 4Chan. Meme magic didn't make normies suddenly care about H1Bs and immigration, the results of NAFTA and people losing their jobs did. Normies don't care about memes and shit posting because normies don't know about it, but they do care about the price of eggs doubling. We shit posters are leading indicators, not the driving force.

Look, if you want to argue about the effectiveness of memes and shit posting on national politics then go make a thread for it and we can slap fight over there, I won't derail the thread anymore. I'm just saying lasting political change is going to require more work than just shit posting, the political Left understands that and if you want America to be Right leaning, you're not going to meme your way into it, we're going to have to put in the work, capture the institutions and build patronage networks. Do what the Left did. If pointing that out is what you consider black pilling, I don't know what to tell you.

The people who have the most say in Trump’s policies are the ones that forked over the most amount of money. In the first administration it was mostly guys like Sheldon Adelson and Paul Singer, which is why he had a strong Israel First policy and focused on pointless shit like the Abraham Accords and moving the embassy to Jerusalem. For the second term, it is technolibertarians like Musk, Thiel, etc. These guys don’t care about illegal immigration but they absolutely want unlimited jeets. It doesn’t take Nostradamus to see how things are going to play out. Either way, dank may mays are going to have precisely zero impact. If you want to influence policy, you’re going to need to be at that level of power and influence.
