A reason Dan Cringeshaw invites an orgy of adoration from neocons is that he's unusual for the type: he at least served in the military and is masculine, whereas most neocons are weak, effeminate, cowardly, so they call for regime change but never want to fight. See Kristol et al
These people are basically just performing public onanism over deeds they cannot or would never dare to do, it's living vicariously through others from a think tank or a magazine no one cares about but other onanists
Look at Ian Stevens, hear Daniel Di Martino's voice, feast your eyes on Bill Kristol and tell me these people aren't just indulging in the shame of onanism over things they physically and mentally could never undertake
This is the face of regime change

This is true and it shows Trump hasn't learned anything after all this time. Rollins hates Trump's base. She is a very literal Koch shill. If Trump runs again with Rollins and Kushner at the wheel, it is not an America First platform regardless of what he says 1/
Few people hold Trump's base in contempt like Rollins and few people deserve as much contempt as Rollins. I laid a lot of this out here 2/ amgreatness.com/2020/06/09/as-…
Imagine wanting your children to be brainwashed to hate their fatherland and their group. This is incomprehensible to me, pride in being pathetic and weak
Tim shouts "homeschool her," but people like this either are too lazy to do that or would just end up giving their kids an as bad or worse education employing Ta-Nehisi Coates books on the syllabus
Someone off camera anyway, I don't know if it was Tim
One immediate problem with secession is that the enemy is imperialistic and will never stop coming. For example, what neoconservatives did to Iraqis, they will want done to secessionists
What the left and neocons have in common is that they are imperialistic. You will also be on stolen land/a national security threat to these people
I raise this point because it seems like secessionists think separation would mean peace but I highly doubt that. In fact it would justify treating secessionists as foreign combatants. Something to consider
Everything bad happening is necessary: Trump turned around on his platform in 2017 and instead embraced the GOP's way: tax cuts, judges, conciliation with enemies 1/
Now corporations (beneficiaries of tax cuts), judges (they keep striking down Trump’s election-fraud efforts), and bad friends (think all the people Trump endorsed or brought into the fold who subsequently turned on him and now welcome Biden) are all working against him 2/
The best possible outcome, though it isn't certain at all, is that the right is completely disillusioned with trying to conserve anything and instead starts thinking and operating more like the left, desiring revolutionary change and not conservation of the rot 3/
1) I agree with this one tweet in the thread 2) I don't see why it's either-or. Trump initially, and unwittingly, touched the chord of a mythmaking when he told Americans he would "Make America Great Again," rebuild America, and gut the consensus. It was powerful, successful 1/
Trump's failure was in his governance--which was undisciplined, inconsistent, and transactional. Whenever this got brought up, Trump supporters would point to myths to justify bad governance, i.e., "Trust the Plan" 2/
But myths alone are not sufficient. You cannot point to paltry policy accomplishments and tell people over and over the best is yet to come and they have to keep trusting the plan and if they don't they're a Democrat or a shill or worse 3/
As I've been saying, the military is not a conservative institution. It is a reflection of the regime and the American regime and ruling class are as rotten as they come.
Conservatives need to see this and hear people like Petraeus tell them they are a bigger threat than Islamists because that's the only way to disillusion them
