I believe this is what is known as the "Crisis" stage, which is just after the "Demoralization" stage.

Next is "Normalization", during which all the useful idiots are shot in the back of the head.
Just like Parkland, the tard raging from these turbo spergs will all be forgotten within three weeks.
 
Lots of wishcasting at r/moderatepolitics about the Mattis story.
I see the primary audience for this piece to be the active-duty military members who served under him or know someone who has. This will absolutely affect how those individuals feel.
This condemnation is HUGE.
The list of deeply credible people who are speaking out against Trump is growing
But I suspect some of the more centrist reluctant Trump voters and active duty military folks might be somewhat influenced by this.
This really does speak volumes
This is huge. The veterans and active members of the military will listen.
he's the kind of person who seems like would have a big impact on some peoples opinions.
About time someone with some clout over conservatives stands up and says something!
I can't believe that's the moderate politics subreddit.

I'm a veteran. No, I don't give a fuck about Gen Mattis's opinion. I hated dealing with O-6s. Those fuckers were all pricks and primadonnas, to a one. I can't imagine how self important they are four paygrades higher.

The worldbuilding channel Phrenotopia has finally snapped. A pity I used to admire him to some extent. But now you see here the reason why I avoid looking at the twitters of people whose work I like, lest I lose any and all respect for them.

This might be my East Asian heritage speaking, but from his livestreams I can tell he's becoming senile in his middle age. Now he's desperately trying to relive his youth of being a counterculture rebel by latching on to the same vindictive social media spiel everybody around ChapoTrapHouse's camp. "He is literally a fascist and a white supremacist" - how old are you, man? Are you that susceptible to mass hysteria to form conclusions like that so quickly?

"Get out of the way for those who know the right direction for your country" eat shit and die. I hate Trump too, but that doesn't automatically make either of us better people than those who do. So why don't you look at yourself, old man. You've less years to do so than me, so hurry up and acknowledge the rules apply to you regardless of who you're voting for. And in due time, I hope you'll realize just how conceited you sound.

There are few things more contemptible than commanding others to do what amounts to "say what i'm saying, or shut up". Because you don't have any jurisdiction over their lives. It makes you come off as having unwarranted self importance. And if anything, it will only encourage your enemies to speak louder against you. And what's this? "Let PoC speak" what, like me? Am I allowed to say anything about his frankly idiotic assumptions about other people? According to his own logorrhea, my word is more important than his, so I hereby declare with my oppression card that everything that came out of his mouth is utter bullshit.

As a member of the young diverse pea-oh-sea generation punching up against da pale stale mayulls holdingg us back, I say Phrenotopia can shove his sad little moral crusade up his own ass. But I doubt he'll care about what the likes of me have to say. I don't expect him to feel conflicted, nor will he feel any bit paradoxial if he ever stumbles upon this diatribe. After all, the media will tell him otherwise.
 
This is the problem.

All these leftists think they're the counter culture rebels... like it's the second term of the Bush Administration.

At this point?

The greatest act of counter culture rebellion... is being conservative, going to church, getting a job, getting married, and having three kids in the burbs.
 
Trump being extra again:

Honestly should have just said- "I fired Mattis because I didn't want another forever war in Syria! Glad he is gone!"

Mattis was straight-talking in his press conferences. Everyone I know who's met him said he was approachable, friendly, and good at listening as well as speaking. I liked him. And I don't fault him for wanting to step down after Syria was deescalated - he wanted to be SecDef and doing something, not sitting around managing garrisons.

I'm concerned stepping to Mattis is going to hurt Trump in the long term. Or at least stepping to him in a shittweet style.

I want to believe this, but the Bush administration had significant opposition from academia, entertainment, the non-profit-industrial-complex, professional organizations, religion, etc. What exactly do we have opposing this madness right now besides the internet (rapidly being scrubbed) and federal government? What is going to show kids there's another way to live, what is going to culture jam and hold up the contradictions to them, etc? I'm beginning to be concerned that the Left's stranglehold on culture and ability to redefine their politics as apolitical, even if a very shaky grasp due to companies just chasing the perception of what is popular, may be complete enough to raise a generation unable to imagine another way to live.

I think this comparison is fair, but missing much of the nuance that led to the previous rebellion.
 
Seeing reports of betting odds swinging in favour of Biden to win the 2020 Election. I'm thinking punters are reading the situation wrong but could this be Biden's only real chance of winning?

Yes, because only Trump can beat Trump...well that or an assassin's bullet, a heart attack, or some kind of illness. There's no way Biden can on his own beat him.
