There is a chicken & egg game between populaces & elites that many "elitists" don't understand. Elites are neither superior nor aristocratic but exist because of a tautology, something that is true by definition.
Pissed-off populaces - as we've been for 3+ generations - 1/
will continuously attempt to create their own elites. All an elite is is someone who can influence or control the populace, whether we are talking about culture, politics or hard power. It's not like there is a separate species one has to be born into.
2/
The early stage of the current RW base created Wallace as an elite, to try to overturn the enormous degree of cultural destruction that occurred in the 1960s, with forced busing, the Civil Rights Act becoming supreme over the Constitution, Hart-Celler, and so on.
2/
Ross Perot was given power to fight the deindustrialization of America that the uniparty & federal government were forcing down all our throats.
Pat Buchanan was raised up to give voice to our anger about the cultural & racial destruction of America.
3/
Each of those three priors were a chicken & egg game. The elite did not create the feelings of the populace, but rather, they tapped into the pre-existing very powerful feelings of tens of millions of people. The unhappiness is what allowed the elite to rise up.
4/
Trump was the 4th major iteration - and the first to be successful. All the anger & unhappiness that Wallace, Perot & Buchanan had tapped into was still there, and it was much more powerful than ever.
The Financial Crisis of 2008, the Great Recession, the naked greed
5/
Wall Street in profiting from the destruction it unleashed with the enthusiastic help of the entirely corrupt Uniparty, all came together to spawn the Tea Party on the Right, and Occupy Wall Street on the Left.
Then Obama made it much worse as he moved America hard Left
6/
with Obamacare while drastically increasing DEI and open discrimination against whites and men.
The deep anger of the populace created a crown in the gutter that Trump rode down the escalator to claim. Trump faced the same problems that his priors had faced.
7/
The Enemy had full control of information via the media, full control of both parties, full control of the judiciary and all levels of government.
Trump was a celebrity & marketing genius who was able to break through the control and give voice to the populace.
8/
It was that breaking through of 100% control, accomplishing the seemingly impossible, that marks Trump historically more than anything else.
Now that we the people of the RW base have tasted power to an extent we have not seen in 3+ generations, we are ready for more.
9/
We are ready to give power to existing elites such as Vance & Rubio if they will give us what we want - understanding the chance of betrayal is very real
We will also spawn many more elites from within us. We are more than half the population, particularly when we adjust for
10
massive voter fraud by the Left.
No, most of those people could never be an elite themselves. But, there are still millions of latent elites among us, who could very well rise to elite status in the right circumstances. As has happened many times before.

Unfortunately, the latest attempt on Trump's life is part of a new normal, the second & much larger generation of Leftist violence. The first generation, which Tanner discusses below, should have been executed when caught. Instead, they were lionized by Leftist schools, media 1/
and politicians. Those who lived to old age got to hang out with Obama and other Leftist celebrities, their history of vicious political murders made them "cool"
So, now 30% of "liberals" under 40 think it is ok to kill racists & fascists, with the RW all being labeled as such
2
The Leftist leadership continuously incites to violence, and there is an endless assembly line of young Leftists ready to answer the call.
Trump is also making clear that he is only a transitional figure, he doesn't have what it takes to deal with this deadly danger.

The American RW base is real, organic in origin & exists in vast numbers. We are America. We have long been suppressed by an Enemy relying on many types of deception:
There are so many red pills scattered around that this point that they can't be avoided. Every major media outlet lying for 4 straight years about Biden's mental condition is one, so are the pervasive Covid lies.
The Left spits them out, and much of the RW takes little bites.
2/
The problem with taking little bites of the red pill is that one is still quite easily lied to & manipulated. No, my frens the only way to see what is happening is to swallow the entire red pill, and become a "radicalized conspiracy theorist".
Second of 2 good posts👇, and the genetics map is superior to the cultural maps. The Lower Midwest & Upland South are a blend of two British folkways, the Borderers (Scotch-Irish) and Midlands, who also become increasingly blended with Germans as one moves to the north. 1/
The Upland South is predominantly Scotch-Irish, with a blend of Cavaliers in the southern part, and getting more Germans in the north. Looking at colonial stock genetics, they are indeed the people who settled AR, SE MO and most of Texas.
2/
The Lower Midwest & Appalachians are also predominantly Scotch-Irish like our Upland South brothers, but we have very little Cavaliers, and have more German & Midlands. Missouri is mostly us, the four Lower Midwest states are tightly genetically related.

What the Irish protests, the Canadian trucker's protests & Jan 6 have in common is that RW protests are massive, organic & have no concrete goals, while LW protests are highly organized & have goals that are about force.
Color Revolution protests are about regime change 1/
and while they may appear to be the organic will of the people, they are in fact following an exact script for govt takeover developed by the CIA many years ago.
The RW protests are truly organic and far larger, they just don't have any actual plans for government overthrow.
2/
With one exception, Leftist govts don't really care about mass peaceful protests. That is when the crisis of legitimacy is so great that the security forces flip sides. If the govt loses its monopoly on force, than it can indeed fall in a matter of hours, as seen in E Europe.

New information has come out in the last few hours about Iranian air defenses - and it looks like warfare may be evolving again. According to the Israelis (WSJ link later), Iran is moving from radar to multispectral cameras for air defense. Iran is also claiming new forms
1/
of domestically-produced air defenses are coming on line.
"Iran is using a sophisticated network of multispectral cameras to track and identify U.S. and Israeli aircraft, according to a former senior Israeli defense official briefed on the subject."
2/
"Iran has placed the cameras, which capture data from wavelengths beyond visible light, along popular or essential routes for enemy aircraft, and once there is a detection, its forces try to shoot them down, said Amir Avivi, chairman of the Israel Defense and Security Forum"

1. For decades, Europe has emphasized social spending while paying very little for defense. Europe is having trouble even paying for those programs, as it is battered by energy costs and deindustrialization - with industries fleeing due to the energy costs.
2/
Europe is very good at verbally discussing & then planning on doing much better in the future. But, some fundamental financial problems will need to be solved to pay for the *planned* military spending.
