1. The right needs to avoid returning to the GOP/conservative outrage trap, i.e., "support us to stop socialism/Democrat racism!"
2. Trump needs to be separated from the right because all he does is grift
3. The right needs to build parallel networks and institutions
4. "Right" needs to indicate a socially conservative, economically moderate movement that is capable of attracting moderates through economic populism--healthcare and immigration are the two biggest issues, framed as attacking big pharma and labor exploitation
4, 2.0: Yeah there are other reasons to tackle healthcare and immigration, but framing it as a war on vicious, exploitative bugman oligarchs has the broadest appeal
5. anti-white resentment needs to be addressed explicitly and shown as the ideological vehicle for the growth and consolidation of the managerial regime's power
6. "Nationalist populism" as a political project is doomed to fail unless parallel institutions are be created. We need civilization building, not coin-operated politics. Gab is an example of an alternative network. Somebody needs to do something with a financial institution
7. Fifty-five percent of Trump voters said they would prefer a more competent leader who adopts “Trump’s views on controlling immigration, nationalism and being willing to challenge the mainstream media, political correctness and elites." True Believers and grifters = minority

The MAGA foundation is already raising money and Trump's team is working on a comms workaround. I've argued that Trump is transitional--but after November, people LARPed about him as Caesar on the Rubicon. When that fell apart, he became a symbol 1/
When I argued that Trump is transitional, the same people who are now all in on this myth stuff got upset and said: "Trump is the guy and there is no alternative and he is totally going to cross the Rubicon." It seems like the myth stuff is a continuation of that 2/
Also, what is he a symbol of? When I argued with Cotto earlier, he had very different views of what is good and bad about Trump. What is that symbol to Greer vs Cotto? Is it tax cuts for Google or releasing drug kingpins or law and order or moving the embassy? 3/
Trump pardoned Salomon Melgen, a Democrat megadonor who performed unnecessary, excruciating treatments on elderly patients in the biggest Medicare fraud in history. Melgen was also involved in Jeff Epstein-tier gross sex stuff. This is beyond disgusting and indefensible
Americans are living through the managerial revolution 2.0 and Democrats want to Uighurize white people and Trump pardons brown Jeff Epstein Democrat megadonor. This is actually so predictable, but it's important to reiterate it for people who don't get how awful Trump has become
Background on Melgen, who had a friend in, you guessed it, Jared Kushner!
Trump starting a third party that would ultimately be another Jared Kushner grift while the country swings leftward would be the kind of psyop the CIA could only dream of with the amount of money and emotional investment that would be wasted
It would make Trust the Plan and QAnon look tame by comparison
Trump's campaign lifted half a billion dollars from voters. This would be that, on steroids, and Democrats would ultimately be the only ones benefitting from it, along with the people cashing in on the grift
This amnesty is a win for neoconservatives and the irony is that Trump only approved it because he and Jared think it will boost the Trump name's clout with Latinos in Florida, where Ivanka needs Latino support for when she attempts to primary Marco Rubio 1/
On Ivanka's behalf, Trump has made moves to court Cubans and Puerto Ricans in Florida (and now Venezuelans), to the extent that while he dumped his infrastructure plan he wants to give PR massive amounts of money for...infrastructure. Anything for Ivanka 2/
I can think of a few things currently happening in America that are more important than keeping your insanely ambitious and selfish daughter and her sociopathic bugman husband happy 3/
New slate of pardons appears to include one for Dr. Salomon Melgen, who was able to run one of the largest and most grotesque Medicare scams in history because he had cover from Democrat Senator Bob Menendez. I warned about his pardon in December 1/
Why even consider this pardon? Javanka connect Melgen and Menendez. And Melgen, a megadonor who is well-connected politically, would also be good to have as an ally if you're, say, planning a political career in Florida like Ivanka is right now 2/
Some background on Melgen from my article in December. I hope I'm wrong, but more outlets keep reporting this now 3/ amgreatness.com/2020/12/23/not…
People are coming forward to allege Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver is a sexual predator who has preyed on young men. What do @stuartpstevens, @TheRickWilson and @gtconway3d have to say about that? After all, they are very concerned with public morality and decency.
