America First? Trump Auctions Off Himself And Everything Else Twice.

If you put all your chips on "6D Chess" Trump didn't play you, you played yourself. If you're looking for a Savior, find Jesus Christ, but Trump was objectively the better choice in an admittedly rigged and limited selection of options, but you're delusional if you think that in 2016, 2020, or 2024 conservatives (whatever that means, I'd prefer retrograde) were on the verge of revolution. #1 you need support from a large chunk of the military for a revolution #2 as depressing of a reality ad it s, there never has been such a thing as a ground up revolution, they have all been movements led by a break-away/dissident group of wealthy charismatic elites. You may have had plenty of upset peasants in France but without Robespierre, comte du Mirabeau, Barnave, and several dozen other members of the petit nobility who were ready to. Invest in overthrowing the monarchy. The same is true with the Roman Republic, the same is true with the American Revolution, the same is even true of the slave revolts that (unwisely) gained Haitian Independence, there was big money and charismatic elites leading every single revolution mankind has had. I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but from where I stand Trump and Elon were the best chance we've had in quite a while for a true revolution, I would argue that the rate that the overton window has shifted we may have gone through a soft Revolution (ie the pendulum has swung back towards the populist Right wing but without having to cut off anyone's head (or getting to, depending on how you feel about beheadings)
