Many thought similarly of the Third Reich and they did not think wrongly. But how much damage did Adolf Hitler do to the world before his car crash of a regime finally fell? Probably best if the US deals with China now.

Ah, an argument + whisky. A dangerous combination to be sure. And whilst I still do not quite agree with you, I accept your apology. Things perhaps did get a bit too heated on both ends I think.

Hmm. Standoffs between Federal Law Enforcement and loony compounds spiralling out of control vs literal death camps. Ah yes, not much difference between those eh?

You haven’t the first fucking clue what the CCP would do to you, don’t you? They are worse. They are many orders of magnitude worse. China is a totalitarian hellscape with aspirations of global empire that would dearly love to put its boot on all our windpipes.

Amusingly dramatic. Do you think Xi Jinping is a kinder master than the imbeciles in DC?

You might be overthinking it a touch. These people aren’t actually that intelligent.

Jesus Christ. He really has lost it if he's actually thinking that. The left couldn't ask for a more petty or needless split in the American Right.

What would you regard as unwinnable culture wars? To my mind there's no such thing. As you say, if you sink in the decades, you can swing it back your way.

I think that’s ultimately what will happen. Who else would Trump run with? Either way round it would work, with Trump in the driving seat and DeSantis as his highly competent right hand, or DeSantis in the Oval Office and Trump set loose on a hapless Senate. It would be quite a ticket.

Liberals of nearly any stripe, especially libertarians, seem to almost immediately burst into flames whenever confronted with real politik. They can be every bit as dogmatic as lefties, which does make some sense as they do both spring from the same Enlightenment roots.

Donald Trump is a tad too abrasive and egotistical for his own good, but this mess isn’t entirely of his making. As has been pointed out, shenanigans aside, the GOP still has a vicious Neocon streak that’s yet to be ripped out. In some respects dropping him would be a mistake as his work is not...

The GOP still has a nasty Neocon streak. The MAGA crowds’s work is not yet done in expunging it. That aside, as is much becoming the case throughout the Western World, running on “we’re not the other guys” simply isn’t enough anymore. Everyone is fed up with it and craving some genuine...

This sort of what I’m getting at, if not going a little further. By doing this, you’d have an option not only to escape partisan politics, but also the current paradigm. You could look to make a happy fusion of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Kennedy, in order to build that shining city on the...

Whilst national elections should still be contested vigourasly, I think the American Right’s next step is to pause, take stock, have a big long think about just what it wants to be, then focus on bringing that to local elections. If you wish to create a more conservative America, this is...

Shenanigans aside, with all the good will in the world, Sarah Palin never quite struck me as…is “impressive” the right word?

Eh. More of a case that Florida’s electoral system is actually up to snuff. As I understand it there was a massive balls up in the early 2000s which led to some serious reforms. That and…DeSantis is a true statesman. Not just a populist with a motormouth. Such people don’t smack down titans...

In more happier news, did you see how Ron DeSantis absolutely smashed it in Florida? The man’s a bloody prodigy.

First off, calm down. All caps is not very becoming of anyone. Secondly, that could change. Elon Musk getting hold of Twitter may prove to be more significant than we realised. Now if only someone could do that same for YouTube…

Christ, the Maricopa County Audit was just the tip of the iceberg. They've already half locked in something particularly nasty in the future. 2024 might well seal the deal if the Dems keep it up. What an absurd situation.

All the more reason to start drawing up plans in that regard. Brute forcing the issue is surprisingly effective.
