In his resignation letter, Kent wrote, “As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.”
MAGA is reforming without Trump. It’s largely about the need for narrative coherence. Trump’s cooked, and regardless of his political future, the dudes like 200 years old. He’s done.
As a movement, Trump is giving MAGA a chance to make a clean and coherent break from a ‘dear leader’ who wasn’t going to be useful in 2 years anyways.
Those who reject Trump will get to make this presentation. That they resisted him. Those that stick around Trump will get to say that he was a mad man, they were just trying to steer him to better decisions, and those that support Trump from a far will get to say it was just bad advisors around Trump. Everyone will have an excuse that allows them to present themselves as the good one among a pack of devils.
The dude supported ALL of Trump’s policies and political theater. The ship is sinking and this rat crafted a convincing lifejacket. Put a bet down 👇 on what office this reek will be pursuing in two years. How blovious and long winded will their speech at the RNC be?
Are you excited to hear them being quoted on Fox news? I wonder what the book title will be.
You know, I really hate that in order to have even the slightest coherent, political opinion today, we all need to be top-tier political analysts. Compared to 30 years ago, this world is completely unrecognizable.
Man I wish people actually were, or would at least regard the analysts whose claims and analysis predict future states of the world correctly more, highly than those whose claims make them feel good about their positionality in the world. There was no need for a second Trump term and we ended up in that position specifically because people in general, and a majority of commenters in this forum, are actually pretty bad at political analysis. Or at least, they weight the perspectives that make them feel good about who they are and what positions they perceive themselves to occupy in reality over those perspectives which, while potentially discomforting, do predict future states of reality.
At the same time, you can hardly blame most people for their violent denial of the second coming of the worst of the worst…
I mean… If you saw a torrential hurricane of acid vomit coming your way, would you not you run away from it as fast as you could?
And where the fuck could you go?
