He can have a renewed faith in God while simultaneously understanding why becoming a tradcath "we should ban gay marriage and faggotry because God and the Bible said so" is probably not a good idea.
That’s a bit of a strawman. Yes, he has to keep other considerations on mind if he wants to be effective, but I’d argue that he has completely given up on the culture war barring the most extreme issues.
 
America did not and cannot return to "normalcy" because those things cannot be forced, just like how Julius Evola postulated that the continued existence of the Fascist Party means fascism failed since it wasn't a natural state of thought and life for the Italians. Americans just replaced an extremism with another form of extremism, and that is a part of the decline process
Except the problem is we're not in Rome. We're not in any other timeline we've ever been in. Never before has there been a geopolitical landscape or information network to the extent we have it today. This isn't the dark ages and the reality is the people aren't fooled anymore. The emporer had no clothes and was exposed for the fraud he was and even the most ardent of deniers are slowly changing. Between this past week, many Democrats have gone from ardent supporters to downright disgust at the Democrat party. The leftist support is completely collapsing. Even the true believers are deferring to indifference at this point. All that's left defending the old establishment are the cronies of it and the most psychotic of its supporters. That's why I saw so ardent earlier that these people will be incompatible with society.

The general populous does not want another rise of the Deep State. The methods they use are slowly being exposed and rooted out. The question is where we go from here, but for the first time in awhile, the sun shines on America. For all intents and purposes, the divide amongst Americans is slowly being healed and the crazies are being pushed back to the fringes of society.

A return to normalcy is not a replacement of a new regime with an extremist one. You don't seem to understand people or what they want. Your opinions of the trad/red pill movement proves how much you truly misunderstood what people want. People do not want the type of degenerate society the left has created. They don't want #metoo. They don't want third wave feminism. They want families, homes, and the futures they were promised by their fathers and forefathers. The modern woman of Single At 40 with an 80k email job and a body count of 57 and a dog is not a naturally occurring entity. It is a purely manufactured product of a world and society that has gutted and milked its people for all their worth by psyoping them to weaponize their morality to make them believe in horrible, horrific things. The goal of the Deep State was to destroy the basic foundation of society, the nuclear family. Heck, you can hear Kamala say it. So, all I'm saying is, have a little faith that the world can heal.
 
I'm a little worried that the unemployment rate will skyrocket. Not only will the masked numbers from the "not working but not looking" category be added back but now all of these government workers and activists will be out of jobs. Plus a disruption to illegals being able to work.

On the bright side a lot of people will get a reality check that the job markets really haven't been doing well and importing illegals really doesn't help. But if it becomes easier to bring manufacturing home that will help.
Surely the colossal amount of tranny death camp contractor building the things and the right-wing death squad recruitment numbers will improve those stats. Right?
 
I know Temu is a shit site, but it's quite literally the only place you can buy certain items (In my case, microneedle cartridges because the stupid FDA forced USA sellers to stop selling them). Are these new shipping fees from China going to stick around? Trying to decide if I should stock up now before things get worse or if I can just wait it out.
I posted about this earlier, but there's nothing more permanent than temporary fees. They will be permanent.
 
(The Tea Party didn't get Obamacare blocked or repealed, but they cut it apart in the years after, and got their people into Congress to fight for the broader agenda. I wouldn't call them a full success but at least they were partially successful.)
I still argue they did have a major long-term affect in getting more of the pot-smoking independent contractor style libertarians close to the GOP mainstream, which primed the pump for Trump and also led to the Libertarian Party going super duper batshit instead of just crazy

The best outcome would be the Democrat party being replaced with a new party, and systems in place to encourage the regular creation of new parties.
 
"Second religiosity" is one of the signs of a dying empire/country according to Spengler. Americans are just oddly unaware what they're doing, but maybe it cannot be otherwise. The desire to recreate terms and conditions when a nation was in ascendancy CANNOT be replicated because they always occur naturally, organically and in a set timeframe of these or those geopolitical conditions. And no, the Renaissance was not a return of Rome but its own thing inspired by it and it took on very local character and operated locally (city states.)

What is actually happening in the US is the abolition of the US and it's gradual but inexorable parceling out of authority among its oligarchical class, like what happened when the Soviet Union fell or how the Roman Empire legislated itself out of existence.
Hey man, I mean this in the nicest way possible. I just want you to be the best man you can possibly when I say this to you, so try not to take it the wrong way: kill yourself.
 
If it takes 100k H1B 80iq pajeets imported into some Space X factory to work 100 hours a week for him to be happy then so be it.
The thing is, because SpaceX is rocketry it's technically considered weaponry, the state wants to keep that with the state, and you can't import retards to work on the rocket ships. He's free to do so with Tesla and X, The Boring Company, but not SpaceX. H1-Bs were always a moot point there, a non issue.

Would that really make a significant difference? The Republican and Democrat parties are already ideological ships of Theseus which become virtually unrecognizable compared to their previous incarnations every few decades. There is no core, lasting principle to either party besides "appeal to a large enough coalition of voters to win elections".

As of today, their best bet is a Fetterman Gambit. I'm titling it this now because I believe this is what he's doing. Find a guy who will work with the Republicans and Trump administration to be a snake in the grass. Let him talk up the popular candidates and seem like he's an actual intelligent politician who will reform the other side. Tard wrangle everyone else to STFU and keep quiet. Then when the day comes when people are tired of MAGA, we can pull the wool over people's heads. I think this is their most likely play. Keep an eye on Fetterman.
