This is going to be studied for decades. People will ask why Democrats became so irrelevant so quickly and you will be shown this clip.

The really remarkable thing about the last 2 weeks is what an incredible amount of work got done just by someone saying to do it. Trump didn't build new infrastructure, he didn't need new technology invented, nobody needed additional websites or software or vehicles or anything. They didn't need commissions or studies to discover solutions, they didn't need 1000 page official reports, they didn't require international summits, and "stakeholders" sure as hell were not brought on board.

Almost all the capabilities and structures needed to radically address domestic problems, international relations, and decades of economic bleeding were in place. They just needed some Big Shot with authority to make a call and stick with it.

Nobody invaded any of our trading partners or lost money, and they're all starting to cave. CBP/ICE didn't ramp up (as far as I know); they just shifted focus to deportations, like they were always capable of doing, because the boss said so. DEI and tranny BS wasn't permanently ingrained, someone just had to say "NO". California didn't have to dig a single damn canal, it was all in place, they literally just needed a Big Shot to tell them to turn a fucking spigot.

I think the only actual new creations has been DOGE, and the only new physical "building" that's been done so far is whatever weird servers Elon's team have dropped into the middle of federal agencies. There's been some reprioritization of existing assets--CBP shifting their focus from asylum process to deportations, the military moving to the southern border--both of which were accomplished with orders, not requisitions or even new funding AFAIK. Panama looks like it'll be settled with a few tweets and a plane ticket for Marco Rubio.

It's not yet settled success; there's lawsuits, the economy is going to have turmoil, the agencies are only starting to be drained. I have a lot of thoughts on what it means for the future of governance and maybe democracy itself, perhaps I'll effort post on that later. It certainly refutes a lot of governance theories the perpetual loser GOP have held for decades. And it's an interesting display of just how fast a government can move if motivated, now that technology and rapid communication is embedded at every level.

But damn, it was shockingly simple. So simple, it's appalling that so many solutions were just sitting there, and for decades nobody had the balls or the integrity to activate them.

Sounds good on paper but the problem is that every fucking doomer is so convinced that the sky is falling every fucking day of the week that they never fucking do anything because it can't possibly matter.

Be a positive Polly hope for the best or at the very least take the spite pill either of those things will keep you moving and that's what's important

I think we can make an educated guess on which next countries will face tariffs. Apparently the EU is up next. I'll throw in India as well taking into account that Pajeets are flooding through the northern border. Trump will make India redeem. The US is pretty much a doormat for our so called "allies".

I love how Trump picks a fight and wins it over the weekend. He really should do it every week just because the media hates working on the weekend so every monday is just them getting caught up on a W they're forced to report on.

thats pretty much it, like i have plenty of leftist friends and stuff like the Shane Gillis and NChick cancelations really pissed them off, like they were ok with the other ones but because the left clearly was starting to go after moderates and center-lefts especially post-oct7th they all put their foot down.

so many fuckers got redpilled in 2023 and between that and Kamala taking over for biden it was obvious a redwave would happen.

people forget Biden ran on being a moderate, he was the respectful older white politician that conservatives could feel good voting about. Kamala meanwhile just sucked. between that and Trump's VP and just a lot of the social movements in 2024 it was clear that people basically told the left to go fuck themselves. if the election happened in August instead of november the result would have been the same, people especially moderates were so fucking tired of the left's control especially when it was obvious it wasn't being done out of the goodness of their hearts.

look at Rogan, the way they dicked him around and then sent Senator lurch from PA to try to lie to him that "the gop are lying about immigrants" it was fairly obvious who he'd be endorsing.

even SNL, they begged Shane Gillis to come be a performing monkey and he said "fuck no, i'm going to hang out with my friends in texas instead" and did exactly that.

there is no one preaching lefty talking points anymore, everyone is mostly on the same page. maybe they hate trump or think he's an idiot and based on his first term they have plenty of evidence but overall the entire culture is on the right. Every attempt at disproving it is going to blow up in their faces like with that tranny musical the oscars just nominated. literally just look at how the left and especially podcasts have treated trump now vs 8 years ago, the energy is completely gone, there's no pussy hat march. there's no massive speeches at award shows, everyone is on the same page.

Why the fuck are these wetback "protesters" allowed to clog the fucking roadways? I've never understood why this shit is allowed to happen. Protesting doesn't equate to being allowed to obstruct traffic, you fucking bean niggers. Dallas is enough of a nightmare to navigate already; get out the fucking road, you tortilla-scented faggots.
