    He has put a lot of money in their pockets.

      I guess with all the memes we have quickly moved from sadness to comic sarcasm. But in the next moment we will be back to the end of democracy.

      The next DSM needs to have a special designation for this.

        Meanwhile, Iran and China can Tweet away...

        “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

        Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

          https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/08/trump-reacts-to-twitter-ban-456785

          In a statement issued by the White House, Trump said he’d been “negotiating with various other sites” while “we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future.” But aides did not reveal what plans were in the works. When Trump’s eldest son, Don Jr. offered up a URL to those hoping to keep tabs of his father’s whereabouts, it was a site that had been purchased in 2009 and, in recent years, a place where his books were sold. For those who did sign up, an email was sent, plugging his latest work: “Liberal Privilege”.

          I hope he builds his own platform.

            Sounds interesting. Liberal Privilege is definitely a thing, but it would be more abstractly termed Pop Culture Privilege. If the large part of the weight of the cultural ideas are behind you, you can get away with a lot.

                Renauda's prediction is that pop culture will turn authoritarian right within a foreseeable future. I don't see that as a reasonable possibility, much less a probability, personally. I think our pop culture has too much inertia towards the left.

                  Then you have definitely misunderstood my prediction. My prediction is that an American caesar or Napoleon will arise out of this mayhem and once and for all quell the mob. You really ought to go to Wikipedia and look up what 19 Brumaire was, maybe then you'll understand.

                      I don't understand how one could win control over America, without winning over pop culture. If that is not your contention then I have misunderstood your prediction.

                          So our duly elected government will manage to maintain an authoritarian right platform simply because a majority of voters will prefer it to the mob rule of the left?

                          If that's the contention, I don't see it. The majority, including our most important cultural idea propagators (MSM, big tech, movies, celebrities, influencers, etc), have no real issue with mob rule of the left.

                            That said, if the majority really did become repulsed enough by leftist mob rule, I don't see why a decent person wouldn't welcome the change you predict as at least "a better alternative". Perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good.

                                      Exactly. Even the marginal stuff posted here at least has made it though much filtering. I see more than I need to at TNCR, just stuff meant to incite people.

                                      We are a culture that incites. Remember that when the word is used this week.

                                      And so many people want to put a brick on the incite pedal.

                                          I don't think so, or at least not at all like the scale of the last one with two armies marching on one another. Rather people will be so numbed with the social mayhem and political gridlock created by the extremes of the right and left, that the majority and the various states will welcome a MacArthur like figure, but not necessarily a military person, who will put together a governing junta to restore order under the banner of patriotism and the Constitution.
