I still can’t decide how much of the leftist disorganization is because they’re demoralized and how much is because they’ve been abandoned by their puppeteers.
The true believers are still there, but they’re all running different point versions of the firmware from the last decade with no coherence at all. It’s like every middle manager suddenly found themselves in the CEO chair and immediately started flailing around wildly using last year’s PowerPoints as a guidebook.

The Bluesky and Reddit situation is a good example. Twitter becomes instrumental in pushing RW thought into the Overton Window. So they decide to abandon it (!) and self silo into two platforms, one of which has zero appeal to normies and the other is slowly dying from more bot activity than Facebook. “Fuck you, I’m going to kill myself” behavior. James Carville must be choking down the antacids right now.

From what i have been seeing, the shills and are trying to talk big about tarrifs and doomermonger over it. The tranny's are just either wanting to kill themselves/assassinate Trump and Elon and do a domestic terrorism.(mostly in their fucking dreams, because they are rat shit cowards)
You got the DNC still trying to make identity politics happen. Then you have their time split over defending Mexican rapists illegals and STILL FUCKING TALKING ABOUT THE SHITHOLE THAT IS GAZA and trying to make Elon's thing with the Treasury a DEY TAKIN YOUR EBT CARDS AWAY talking point.
There is 0 coordination, between them. Trump has done so many things that it is almost white noise to normies. Will all this screaming about different things.
Last year, before the election. They were all coordinated to push Cumalas talking points. Now it is just verbal diarrhoea coming from everywhere.
They think if they arrive at the "correct" argument by scattershot. That Trump will be forced out and go quietly to a prison cell defeated for all time.
Fun fact. I have seen more libshits arguing on X in the last 7 days than Bluesky.

And the import and ammo bans from both previous Dems so that we can have cheap surplus again. Mosins weren't made to be over $400 and 54r sure as hell wasn't meant to be over $1 per round for steel case.

I tested how fed up people were irl.
I'd casually say, "I'm ready to vote for Hitler at this point" and laugh and people would agree with me.
Lol.

Customs revenue chugged along at a slowly growing rate until FY 2019, when it took a sizable jump. FY 2019 began in October 2018, well into the first Trump administration. It then stayed pretty constant, at around $70 or $80 billion, through FY 2021. Fiscal Year 2021 began three months before Trump left office. Customs revenue then jumped, during the first full year of the Biden administration, to a record high of $100 billion. It stayed elevated–$80 billion in FY 2023, and an estimated $97 billion in FY 1994, which ended on September 30,2024.

So tariff revenue, on average, was higher during the Biden Administration than the first Trump administration. Were the newspapers hysterical about a trade war during Biden’s term in office? Maybe I missed it.

Covid lockdowns. There's only a couple factories in the US that make chemical primers and they were all shut down. A shitload of people bought ammo with their stimmies and it led to an extreme shortage for a couple years. They're still catching up, and government contracts get priority for any backlogs. I'm still reloading with shit I hoarded during Obama's 1st term.

Most of the combloc surplus actually came out of Ukraine which was were the soviets placed alot of their foward depots so it would be closer to the front in WW3. Ukraine stopped selling it off after the first invasion in 2014.

its really not compared to the rest of the world. its the imported foreign milsurp ammo that has gone through the roof like 7.62x54R, 7.62x39, 5.45x39 and 9x18 because it was coming out of either Ukraine (Who are keeping it for their own armies) or Russia (whose import is banned unless it sits in a neutral country for 10 years)

Please, President Trump, FIGHT to permanently kick birthright citizenship to the curb!

When the timeline in this video gets to the latter half of the 20th century and onwards, it becomes depressing. The enormous number of low IQ, backwards, criminal, and nation-wrecking spics squatting in the country is a blight on everything our ancestors worked so hard to achieve.

What’s sweet is Valentina Duffy has a genuine smile there. When her dad was confirmed last week she had a much more downsy look in photos and a little shocked/scared but hanging out with Luffy for a bit made her happy, and that’s just incredibly sweet and another indicator of Trump actually being a good person without having to have the media manufacture the story.
