Vote Trump

I was an outspoken “five percenter” back in 2020, one of the “5% of people who supported Trump in 2016 but withdrew their support in 2020.” I stand behind that decision, as Trump’s 2020 campaign was running with the team and on the laurels of his first administration, which was a total disaster. Trump didn’t drain the swamp. Trump nominated and was controlled by a rotating cast of the worst uniparty insider neocon swamp creatures possible.

So, why give him a second chance after all that? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me, right? Sort of. This was my logic behind trying to support Tulsi, then Vivek, then DeSantis as we worked our way through the primaries. At each step of the way, I tried to support something more “nationalist-populist” than Trump. None of the alternatives were perfect, either, of course. Perfection’s never an option in politics.

Trump is running with a very different message and team this time. Trump’s greatest weakness in 2016 was that he delegated and went golfing — resulting in Mike Pence having free rein to collaborate with Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell on delivering a beltway swamp administration that put Trump’s campaign promises dead last. With this cycle’s VP selection, that bug becomes a feature.

With Vance and the “broligarchs” driving this administration, you get the closest thing we’re going to get right now to an elite faction that’s aligned with us: “based civic nationalist guys with Asian or Jewish wives.” You can chuckle about how that’s no better than the alternative, but it certainly is objectively better than we deserve given our awful ground game and crappy coalition building. Tulsi and Vivek are in that clique, and it’s moving the GOP in a direction we can work with and build upon.

Punished Trump has changed his message to one that’s even more “based” than 2016. It’s not as great as you want it to be, and he’s Trump. And everybody involved in the federal level is entirely beholden to Zionists and the Jewish Oligarchs. There’s not a non-Zionist option, and there’s no point in bemoaning that fact at this stage in the game. Politics is the art of the possible, not the art of the posturing.

Finally, Punished Trump is running against 2024 Kamala, not 2020 Biden. Biden was a “Dinosaur Democrat” who promised a moderate administration. He didn’t end up delivering that, with his administration getting more and more leftist and woke as his health failed him. While her campaign has been tacking to the center to win, it’s all but assured that her plan is a much more anti-white administration than either Biden or Obama planned or delivered.

There are accelerationist arguments against voting Trump. There are purist arguments against voting Trump. There are tactical arguments against voting Trump. None of them are sound in this election cycle. We need our civil liberties intact in order to organize anything capable of moving things further to the right than where they are now. We need to be operating in an environment where Never Trump conservatives don’t have the mandate they’re hoping for to erase all of the nationalist-populist impact we’ve made in the past decade.

Please strongly consider voting for Trump. It’s important.
