again, trump is the only candidate outlining a future vision and not just reacting to the left. proposes yearlong USA birthday bash marking 250 years of independence and a “great american state fair” with displays from all 50 states, sporting events, and a new national monument.
dude is dropping the most forward-thinking policy goals of any politician in the country almost every week and some morons on here keep coping like “NOOO! HE’S TOO CAUGHT UP WITH 2020!”
“fighting the culture war” and “fighting wokeness” are meaningless issues if you don’t replace them with an alternative culture and something for people to strive toward. trump gets this.

the “culture war” is obviously worth fighting, but conservatives have long been outgunned and outmanned in the battle. simply reacting to the left’s latest insanity is not enough. we need to be creating culture of our own and presenting a better forward-thinking way of life.
the issue here is conservatives are notoriously awful at culture. most of them are nerds and dorks grifting off-shoot products for other nerds and dorks or holding lame philosophical debates. aesthetics matter. we have to be cooler and more appealing than the left.
a lot of this comes down to incentives too. republicans think donating to the GOP and winning an election will solve the problem while democrats devote themselves to causes that conquer territory and change the culture. again, only one side is really trying to win.
trump achieved the impossible in 2016. DC felt threatened. they immediately spread a hoax through the FBI/DNC to hamper trump’s whole presidency and have targeted him relentlessly since. coincidentally, our elections changed after 2016. why is that?
this argument from the right reveals weakness, blindness, and deception. who decides who wins? is it “the people” as we’re meant to believe or an elite “shadow campaign” across every sector (including the government) conspiring against the president?

during trump’s term they ran new psyops weekly. “the walls are finally closing in!”
they put J6 protesters in solitary confinement. they even banned him from speaking! if you won an election fair and square you wouldn’t need to go to such lengths. but that’s the tell.
tucker in iowa talking about aesthetics and architecture: "i don't think i've ever heard a politician mention beauty. noble ideologies produce beautiful results. poisonous ideologies produce ugliness."
tucker: "the republican party has somehow found itself in this position where they feel like they have to defend the aesthetics and the economics of the dollar store. that's free enterprise? no it's not. it's an atrocity that diminishes people. that destroys god's creation."
tucker: "what is america? well, america is a physical place. no, it's not an idea. anyone who says america is an idea? please. it's not an idea. it's a place. i live there. i don't live in an idea. i don't live theoretically."
