Contra Elon's fantasies of an impending EFF led white genocide,
the South Africa political establishment hates his guts, and not without good reason.

Not only will Trump one day no longer be president, so far as what are now his most ardent supporters will be concerned, he will never have been president. You will be shocked by how much all of this will never have happened.

By and large, the people who made Trump possible are the same people who were taken in by the likes of Jim Bakker, and the impulse behind it was often not more complicated than "the big money man on the TV will make the money good again."

There's a large, low information segment of the population for whom everything that they saw on TV, be it news, televangelism, or the latest episode of The Aprentence, all sort of existed on the same level of reality.

Imagining the median Trump supporter as a radical nationalist or a caricature of a religious fanatic drawn from The Handmaid's Tale is flattering to the self perception of liberals, but the truth is stupider than that.

There have been a lot of theories of Trumpism, many focused on drawing parallels with fascism or various contemporary purveyors of right-wing populism abroad. The truth is far simpler than that. Trump is the product of a reality TV culture that treated celebrities as demigods.

Tragedy in Hungary, Rod Dreher will have to get a real job.

"I promised myself I wasn't going to make apology videos after last years thing so I'm just trying to be as short and honest with this as possible."

-The first lady of the United States, for some fucking reason.

"I didn't fuck Jeffrey Epstien. I didn't cum on Jeffery Epstien. I didn't put my cunt anywhere near Jeffery Epstien. I've never done anything weird with Jeffery Epstien. "

The oracle told Trump that a civilization would end, she didn't mention that it would be the liberal world order.

The simple fact is that there are
many gardeners and few gangsters, and the demand for criminal immigrants to be used in DHS photo ops greaty exceeds the supply.

MS-13 are, to put it mildly, very unpleasant people. Much as Salvadorans themselves have done, the American elaborate demands that the government do something about them, only to look on in shock as it rounds up construction workers and nurses.

The wild swings in public opinion on immigration are best explained by the fact that millions of Americans do believe this, and that this belief has no connection to reality.

If you believed that hordes of violent criminals were streaming across your borders like the Visogoths, then mobilizing a paramilitary force to put a stop to it would be a pretty reasonable response.

I actually think this is much less true than some people believe. The online right and, to be fair, large parts of the Republician staffer class, is infested by weird pseudo-Nazis, but the thing that most striking about ordinary Trump supporters is their basic ignorance about public affairs.

Oh if this is what the deal actually looks like we lost this fucking war

Can't suffer a strategic defeat...if you have no strategy.

He punches buttons on the tweet machine and money comes out. It's
probably not more complicated than that.

Once you accept the dual premises that violence can never fail, it can only be failed and that the call to collective sacrifice is an expression of slave morality, you're left with the delusion all of the nation's problems stem from leaders who lack the will to apply enough napalm.

What's fundamentally weird about this political moment is the peculiarly American fantasy of luxury brutality.

It's just like that guy who yelled out the N-word at the BAFTAs. Donald Trump has a neurological tick where he periodically blurts out genocidal threats, and it's abelist for anyone to imply that this has any relevance to his abilities as a statesman.

It really awful to see a once prominent, mainstream media figure like Donald Trump saying things like this. I hope president Donald Trump makes clear that this sort of thing doesn't represent American values.

A light hearted romantic comedy about a jaded PI finding love and havimg to deal with her disapproving father. It culminates in a touching family moment in ...Chinatown.

It's slightly undermined by the knowledge that "Where's Waldo?" Is called "Where's Wallace?" In the UK.

This sort of thing is very hard to distinguish from a belief in sympathic magic. As tools of violence, he seems to believe, guns will somehow instill the appropriate warrior spirit in officers by a kind of spiritual osmosis.

They're all constantly leaking to the DC press corps about how they're the only the adults in room holding things together at the same time they're insisting in public that the emperor is mogging everyone with his new outfit.

I don't think this is really an Aum Shinrikyo situation, though. It's more that if you out do the next guy in glazing the boss, you get to make millions of dollars in commodity trades.

My dad was good friends with Rene Girard. Knowing more about Rene's work than any gainfully employed man really should should lead to some insight into Thiel's mind, but honestly, it's less than you might think.

You did a Puritanism. You stole Christmas. You did a fifth monarchy. You did a Drogheda Massacre.You did a Leveler erasure. You did a hereditary succession. You did no growth. This makes it abundantly clear you don't understand the intersectional nature of the multiplicity of your offenses.

Religious tolerance within England is the one area where he has a genuine claim to being progressive, but that has to be weighed against his policies in Ireland.
