A lot of responses to this thread, so I'll say: If after all that has happened, he has chosen Ivanka to carry the torch after him and Brooke Rollins to "advance the MAGA agenda," then Trump himself is promoting globalism. When do you stop blaming advisors and start blaming Trump?
After four years, Trump continues to promote people who are antagonistic to "America First" as a concept while leaving allies out to dry. I've written extensively on bad actors within the WH, but at the end of the day, and at the end of the first term, Trump let it all happen
"There is no Trumpism without Trump" -- Trump himself is killing Trumpism by promoting and delegating to enemies of the ideas of 2016
There's an argument that we can't say these things aloud because of an ongoing far more important coup... one that Trump didn't prepare for, didn't take seriously, and during which he is empowering people who want him to concede with the keys to "MAGA", so...
I'm simply saying the people who support Trump deserve better. This isn't about hating Trumpism is shaming Trump voters, it is about separating the man and the movement started by the man who quickly lost sight of the movement

Today, Business Insider published a story about Jared Kushner using a shell company to enrich himself and his allies with $617 million in reelection cash and Charlie Kirk ran cover for him. Also today, Politico announced Kirk's appointment to the 1776 Commission 1/
Also on the commission is Brooke Rollins, who is an ally to Kushner and one of the most subversive people in the White House. Rollins is also going to be running Trump's post-presidency with an eye to getting him reelected in 20204 2/
The Populism Inc grift is virtually indistinguishable from Conservatism Inc at this point. It's nothing but self-helping and scamming and half-fulfilled promises undermined by bigger blunders 3/
Here's a perfect example of how fake "Populism Inc" is under people like Charlie Kirk. On the same day Business Insider publishes an explosive story about Kushner's shell company that secretly paid the president's family members and spent $617 million in reelection cash... 1/
...Kirk publishes a piece puffing up Kushner's "legacy," which amounts to exactly zero for Americans, least of all those who believe in America First as a concept 2/
Here are some snips from the story Kirk doesn't want you to read or believe: "Jared Kushner approved the creation of a shell company that spent almost half of the Trump campaign's $1.26B war chest, a person familiar with the operation told Insider exclusively." 3/
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
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
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
