"Getting" the MAGA Movement: Think "Political Reaction"

We long expected it. Ayn Rand warned that if we finally defeated the Left and religious conservatism came to power, it would be a disaster. In other words, there would be a powerful reaction against socialism/fascism in the direction of conservatism/authoritarianism. We would exchange one enemy of our limited constitutional republic for another. I think we are in the grip of a powerful political reaction. As I explain, I don't think it is religious or Buckleyite conservative. It is a powerful cultural reaction against the madness of "woke" and a powerful political reaction against American principles: individualism, color-blindness, respect for law, limited government, and national self-interest. But, as I indicate, there are ambiguities.

    “ is obvious to me, is that Trump has no philosophy of politics, no theory of economics, and so no consistency on a theoretical level (a portent for those who invest their hopes in him). ,” it’s obvious you no very little about Trump. The MSM is not going to tell you. You must use a bit of critical discernment. and might try reading Art of the deal. Or perhaps learn about his mentor Roy Cohn’s past.
    “ Those supporters made abundantly clear in the 2024 presidential election that they didn’t give a bloody donkey hide for what they (the few still listening) heard from the liberal/left/postmodernist/woke “talking heads” on programs of news and opinion (you can’t tell the difference anymore), with their nightly comments, clips, and panel discussions on Trump the “buffoon,” “felon,” “liar,” “authoritarian,” “fascist,” and “neo-Nazi.” They didn’t care what the newspaper headlines said. They did not care what Kamala Harris or Barrack Obama.” Do you care about what lying treasonous scumbags think? Sorry you have a distorted understanding of Trump supporters. We know the world was run by Satanic Luciferian Genocidal Globalist Peedo Banksters cabal and Trump is destroying them through exposure and his grit and determination. Infiltration vs invasion . I have sent you links to what is really happening and it was ignored ex. Q movement or Prussiagate or Joe Langes brilliant work. Your writing is stellar but your understanding is woeful. This would have explained what his ardent supporters believe. https://x.com/Taczilla_X/status/18534...

    "If the MAGA reactionaries truly can slow down the degrading of American culture, society, and politics, then those who grasp the need for a philosophical renaissance, a new age of reason, must seize every possible opportunity to exploit the temporary reprieve." almost straight from Philosophy Who Needs It.... Well written, and the need for Objective thinking has never been more needed. We have been given a reprieve and need to use it.
