They spent years fucking up, they had to be FORCED to quit being fuckups for 4 years and are clearly unhappy about that, the fact that I dislike what the Democrats are doesn't mean I like them that much more if at all. I appreciated Trump as POTUS precisely because he was both a suitable punishment for the Dems and for the dumb old assholes in the GOP. He was a tiny light at the end of the dark tunnel of two parties that had a gentleman's agreement to wring as much as they could out of their electorates and pretend to fight each other. He made people start trying to actually compete, or at least make a way better show of it than they ever had before.

I have ZERO party loyalty to anyone at this point. They're all miserable pieces of boomer shit that should have been flushed years ago.

Well, seeing the most recent developments, I'm going to give out my analysis.

The blackpill: Trump lost. He may not have lost fairly, he may have been cheated out of the election, but he still lost. The GOP should have taken the bullshit the Dems pulled in 2018 to get Synema elected seriously, but at this point I'm not convinced the Republicans didn't know and chose to ignore it or be complicit in it. Republicans are cucked, and the fact that they're now going silent is evidence that they're going to abandon Trump and return to business as usual of selling out to China while being the losing with dignity party in return for a few meaningless concessions from the Democrats.

The whitepill: We're not happy about this election, but neither are the Democrats. It's going to be an interesting four years to watch the Democrats in power. Usually, when an opposing party gets elected, they do so riding a wave that gets them all branches of government. Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump either won Congress or the party already had a substantial lead that was good enough for them to pass legislation at least through the first two years before midterms. The first election is usually where a president need to capitalize on enthusiasm to get as much political capital as they can. What does Biden have as he goes in to his first term? A Republican Senate and a weakened Democratic Congress. A Congress that is already deeply divided among themselves between moderates and the marxists. Expect shit flinging to not only resume between Democrats and Republicans, but even more vicious shit flinging between the Democrats and the Justice Democrats.

That is the second problem the Democrats had to deal with. To defeat Donald Trump, Democrats had to essentially make deals with a dozen different devils. The most prominent of them being with the progressive members of Congress like AOC, Omar, and Tlaib but more importantly, their supporters: Antifa, BLM, the many marxists groups in our midsts, and the people that finance them. Let's be clear, there's little way that with such a weakend Congress that a Biden presidency will have the ability to give these people what they want. All this time, it was about Trump, and how Trump is the only thing standing between them and a great progressive future. Now, there's no more Trump to blame, only them and their incoming failures. Antifa is not going away. BLM is not going away. The Biden promise of returning to the simpler times of the early Obama years is laughable to anyone that has seen modern societal trends. People said that the party would rip itself apart if Trump won, yet it appears they're going to rip themselves apart anyway. As we speak, AOC is already attempting a small coup against Pelosi in the wake of losing seats in Congress. You can expect things like this to go forward. In 2016 Cenk Uygur said that he was at war with the Democratic Party, even if they won against Trump. Dumb as Cenk may be, he was completely sincere about that.

You played with fire, assholes. Don't come crying when you get burned. Or in this case, struggle-sessioned by your own golem.

Finally, there's the media. They fucked us over. Big time. Even Fox fucked us over. But it's their death knell. The legacy media and even the online media was on life support, but they found a temporary lease on life with Donald Trump. Well, he's gone, and he's taking your viewership with him. Let's see how your increasingly dwindling audience fares after you can't have your 24/7 monopoly on fear porn anymore.

In many ways, this was a defeat in victory's clothing for the Democrats. They won the presidency, but it's in ashes. For the next four years, after the nation manages to get rid of their Trump mania, they will have to contend with the fact that they elected a barely coherent charisma void of a grandpa that is just a front for a VP that was so despised by her own party that even with the DNC machine behind her, she didn't even manage to go as far as the primaries. And this man and his Jamaican puppetmaster is not going to bring you to the promised utopia, you're going to be as fucked as you once were, if not more. Hope you manage to do enough pacifying before the 2022 midterms.

Worst of all, they have lost their greatest weapon, Trump himself. Try coming to terms between your progressive coalition on any given matter without resorting to a circular firing squad now that the boogeyman is gone. Biden has no clear policies, no vision, and barely has any political power to bring about change.

The path forward: Trump was not Hitler. He was not Mussolini or Napoleon or Caesar or whatever lazy allegory the media and Twitter have used to describe him. Trump was a less intelligent, more self-centered Tiberius Gracchus. Tiberius may have been murdered by the Senate, the same as his brother ten years later, but you cannot kill the movement. It may have been pure luck, yet Trump managed to do something that the neo-cons at the GOP didn't manage to do, he found a way to connect to the working class. Arizona and Texas look grim for the future, no doubt about it. Arizona was once a deep red state that has now fallen as another California colony, and Texas is slowly turning blue. However, Florida has likely turned from a swing state, to a leans red state, and Ohio has flat out become red.

Michigan, Wisonsin, and Pennsylvania have let us down this time, regardless of the fraud, yet that should not mean that the Right should stop trying to make headways into these places. As mentioned above, the Dems are going to be overseeing the disaster that the pandemic has left, and with such a weak government, they won't be able to do shit. The conflict within the Democratic Party will constantly threaten the jobs of the workers in these states. It's where the future of the Right is. Tiberius found the way and may have failed to deliver, but his successors have to come and take advantage of it.

That whitepill is full of so much bullshit it might as well be another blackpill. You somehow manage to ignore multinational entities' grips and china throughout all of it.

This time it's different. There's overwhelming evidence of election fraud and the ruling president is the most popular the Republican party ever had in years, if not generations. Young Republicans will aim to become the next Trump in the way their predecessors aimed at becoming the new Reagan or even Teddy Roosevelt.
The GOP cannot commit political suicide over this, especially now that Arizona, Georgia and FUCKING TEXAS are literally a few years away from flipping, maybe forever.

It's been much longer than 150 years. Really, starting with Ivan the Terrible and never stopping. Russian has always been an authoritarian hellhole compared to its contemporaries in any given time period.

I'm not talking about the RHINOs. I'm talking about the right. Whether that means another populist rises up to lead the GOP or it comes as an independent movement.

But yeah, I mentioned on a post a few days ago that I'm not getting myself involved for a party that will stab me in the back. Want me to fight for you? Then fight with me. Other than that, I'm off to be a 20 year old boomer and play some Skyrim.

I'll definitely be way more appreciative of the freedoms we have.

I'd also like to point out how Italy handled the issue of media communication during the elections (don't forget Italian governments collapse every few years so this has pretty much become the unspoken code of conduit).
In the year 2000 Italy adopted a law called Par Condicio (equal conditions) where the following applies:

-all radio and tv channels must provide equity and impartiality of coverage during the election
-mandatory time slots for all major political parties on Rai, the public television, at no cost, for a length of 1 to 3 minutes for each (some years ago I watched a candidate for the Trotskyist party talking right before the animal rights/vegan party, though both received like 100 votes each)
- it's illegal to publish or broadcast polls in the timeframe of 15 days before an election; this electoral silence ends right after the polls close nationwide, allowing the distribution of exit polls and then the first real votes. Exit polls are usually extraordinarily close to the actual votes because people aren't afraid to tell they voted Lega or whatever right-wing party.
-in the same 15 days timeframe no politician running in said election can appear on television unless participating to one of previously mentioned debates etc (no Obama slamdunks/Michelle receiving a blowjob from Ellen DeGeneres the day before the election. No actors/popstars/movie directors anywhere.

Just to give you an example of how this works outside an election: yesterday morning there was a tv show with several politicians invited to debate the failure of the countermeasures against the pandemic.

Guests: 2 from the main ruling coalition, 1 from the opposition, 1 conservative and 1 liberal journalist, the governor or a conservative region and the former leader of Italy's Communist party, which dissolved like a decade ago. (The communist ripped the liberal ruling coalition to shreds btw, telling them they're selling the country to the globalists by imposing another lockdown on the small businesses)
Host: centrist host asking unpleasant questions to everyone involved. He interrupted the other guests twice when they avoided answering the question made.
Tv channel: lefty channel with unfunny lefty comedians where you can watch Gone with the Wind, a documentary on the Khmer Rouge and Fahrenheit 9/11 in the same month

And now that I'm reading all of this I guess Italy isn't really too bad after all.

The US used to have something like that called the Fairness Doctrine. Too bad that got taken out during the Reagan administration.
