Trump seems unwilling to learn what he's dealing with.

The Gracchus brothers led to Marius and Sulla; Sulla's troops hunted Julius Caesar during his teenage years.

In the short-term I think this Regime will win in pretty much every domestic angle, while alienating the broader population, and crumbling geopolitically. Long-term I'm more optimistic. The Boomers are bought off, tied to this fake economy which inflates the value of their homes, pensions, and stocks. Around 2030 when this country goes bankrupt, when most of the Boomers have died off, that's when I think these tensions will break into a new phase.

But I think a huge percentage of the population wants to believe in the Old America, and denial is quite persistent.

That's not a reason to be discouraged; God is on our side, our enemies burn trust every day, a bankrupt America can no longer command the loyalties of various mercenary factions, and what gives me the most hope of all — this Regime is run by incompetent, hysterical clowns.

This sounds right to me. The Left can basically do whatever it wants but always at a cost to legitimacy and long term stability.

As you say, it is the month when people celebrate cornholing and child genital mutilation even more than usual and there is no major popular pushback against it. We've already lost.

All is not yet lost. The idea is brilliant: a mass Trump rally at the exact time that he has been ordered to surrender. If Trump will go to his rally in, say, Ohio rather than to the Leftist Court in Florida, then the BUNKER HILL lines will become clear. Come and take him!
