McCarthy is not some weird outlier, he is not a "RINO", he held THE key leadership position in the party until a few weeks ago and was defended by "serious-minded people who wanted to get things done"

This is the Republican Party
There are a few good GOP members, but most are simply stewards for the regime, an R next to their name gets them elected in their district but they fully buy into the prestige hierarchy presented to them by the powers that be
They can't wait to swap you out for a voter base that the New York Times would approve of
Remember that ousting this guy was considered “a big waste of time” or a personal vendetta by Matt Gaetz by people who wanted to “be serious and govern”

It's entirely understandable that conservatives want to defend and preserve our ruling institutions, it's built into their nature, I am also of this disposition

But you need to understand that these institutions have been completely reengineered over decades to destroy you
The soul mission of these organizations is now the transfer of your wealth, the decimation of your community, and the criminalization of your way of life

They do not serve you, you can't trust them, you shouldn't give them your allegiance or deference
You can't slowly infiltrate them the way the left did because you aren't a corrosive form of civilizational entropy, the mechanics aren't the same

New things must be built, old and corrupt things must be dismantled

Wokeness is critical to the continuation of the leftist project 🧵/1
The left have captured every critical node of power in our system, their degree of cultural hegemony is hard to overstate, but their entire identity is tied into the notion of the oppressed rising up against the oppressor

Permanent revolution is mandatory /2
The media can dust of a few MAGA supporters and parade them around in show trials but eventually even the hyperbolic deceleration that every evangelical Christian with an R on their voting registration is a domestic terror threat falls flat

These people have no power /3

Globalization and the lethality of WMDs have made media coverage as crucial as air superiority

Most modern powers could annihilate the lesser nations they come into conflict with in theory but they fear backlash from other modern powers 1/🧵
Mass democracy has become the critical legitimating mechanism

Propaganda has always been a part of war but the instantaneous mass communication social media provides can change public opinion from across the globe instantaneously /2
Keeping other major powers out or enlisting their support is critical

War becomes about flooding the media space as much as it is about gaining territory

It doesn’t need to be true or even convincing, it just needs to drive emotion and jam opposing propaganda/3

Conservatives love to say “We’re not a democracy we’re a constitutional republic” but of course that’s not really true and it gets less true by the day

When the will of the people is your legitimating mechanism mass democratization will slowly consume everything 🧵/1
The dialectical energy always moves in the direction of removing restrictions and expanding benefits

There’s always a political incentive to expand the franchise and remove barriers to the popular will /2
Conservatives think that allowing illegal immigrants to vote or removing the electoral college are ridiculous proposals, but they have no real argument against them because they’ve already bought into the logic of mass democracy /3

It’s time to talk about the state of exception 🧵👇
No system of government is perfect which means no constitution can predict every eventuality

Exceptions will always exist and the rules of the system cannot, by definition, include those exceptions /2
When an emergency arises the system will enter a state of exception, a time in which some or all procedural norms are suspended /3

The problem with "climate change" isn't the idea that we should honor our land and preserve it, the GOP approach of "Who cares about tomorrow burn it all down for money now" is as boomer as it gets, but conservatives are right to doubt the motives of environmentalists 🧵/1
The problem is the notion that the climate is just another system over which we have gained perfect knowledge and can exercise total control

Even the phrase "climate change" is an obvious piece of newspeak /2
The environmentalists used to talk about global warming, there was at least a logic to this because there was an argument about man made pollution and how it impacted the planet's temperature /3
