trump’s twitter account served as an amplifier for fox news and while I think fox had a plan in place to lose trump from office I don’t think it occurred to them they could also lose the amplifier
fox news content is unwatchable hot garbage, not just politically - it’s really weird campy schtick. but fox viewers loved it because every day trump would hop online and smash out blurbs of what he saw his weird campy teevee friends saying, so they tuned in to be a part of it
now they’ve got a channel that’s all weird campy schtick that’s been tailored to a dude who is not only out of power but is so powerless he can’t even tweet what he sees on the teevee and keep the viewers feeling like they’re part of the show
what happens when viewers can’t quite put their finger on it but tuning in now feels boring and detached and depressing, because the entire network has been calibrated to appeal to the interests of exactly one campy & weird old man to earn his tweets
think we get to find out if we’ve underlooked the tribal power of people looking at their phone thinking “I’m watching the same thing the president is watching! and then I retweeted him! I’m practically the president!”
so much of this shit is looked at through a political lens as a bizarre oddity for not obeying any traditional logical consistency rules of politics, but it’s not politics; it’s a giant group therapy session

the thing about trump building a new political party is everyone knows he can’t build anything worth a shit but he can sure as hell wreck an existing one like a tomahawk missile strike. have fun!
he doesn’t have to lift a finger. doesn’t have to win a thing. he’s got the email lists, the donor base, the media. all he’s gotta do is fire off a bazillion emails saying give me your money and don’t vote for those losers. half the gop votes just thanos snapped out of existence.
not a single “patriot party” candidacy has to ever be real. it doesn’t even need to exist. he just has to send the emails and drum up the lunatics and he turns the gop into a rump party.

again, if “conservatives” *WANT* to adopt the position that losing the election justifies violent insurrection against the government as an official tenet of “conservatism” then I have no problem cancelling them from every airwave, bandwidth, frequency, and IP address
the word “conservative” doesn’t even mean anything anymore but it a “conservative” says that part of “conservatism” is overthrowing democracy then yes by all means treat them as enemies of the state, because that’s what they’ve announced they are
wow my “cancel the everloving shit out of the traitors and goons” position is so radical it’s shared by *squints* a prominent trump appointed federalist society chief!

this is what has not sunk in for the alt-realitists who like to imagine themselves overthrowing the government with a bunch of haphazardly assembled mentally defective radicalized internet goons. they are now very much The Enemy of a thing they cannot conceive. good luck.
AKSHULLY THAT IS AWESOME THAT IS WHAT WE WANTED NOW WE ARE *FIGHTING*

that is assuredly *not* what you wanted
if the feds had been interested in following along with the deluded ramblings of people who think JFK jr is secretly controlling the white hat deep state to combat a globalist illuminati cabal of child trafficking brain fluid chemists the events of 1/6 would not have occurred
