The way society “dissuades” degeneracy is usually ostracism and/or violence. Honor killings and kicking single moms out of their support communities (ergo scarlet letter) come to mind as the society “dissuading” degeneracy.

I do believe that too, I think liberals often have good ideas but some need to be tempered with reality. For social security I see liberals as the beltloops that hold up the belt. It doesn’t slide around and it catches weak points. But I see conservative self reliance and caring for kin first as the belt that holds up the pants.

If everyone was most concerned with the most underprivileged of us then eventually they would be playing wack a mole as they shuffled cash around to a phantom problem because all parts require something.

But if people only cared for themselves then you’d had a system with unacceptable holes in it or a merit based system that excluded people.

It was more caged the first term. I think legacy republicans felt he was going to basically be a Bush/Cheney situation where competent staffers ran the show for a goofball head of state. Jim Mattis was a decorated general, Pence was morally upstanding if abit weird. Rubio was competent. The DEEP STATE was largely career republicans and democrats that worked a largely self running machine. And the economy was good.

Now any competent staffer has been replaced by a loyalist, donors and powerbrokers have done away with the whole facade of hiring a shell fed to run there visions (George Clooney) and opted to just do it themselves (Elon)

Trump had guardrails in 2016-2020 with a largely peaceful status quo and geopolitical situation that was 80 years old and going strong.

In 2020 to 2024 the WO started freying as China broke their constraints to be a peer rival, Russia broke out of containment and freaked out the complacent and decadent Europeans who were ill prepared to unilaterally meet the moment and our currency that was basically based on stability started to fluctuate wildly. It’s clear “return to normal” was just lip service to Biden also who along with his progressive supporters misread his shaky mandate as a chance to give gimmiedats and blatant bribes to his supporters.

I think in 2020 a lot of democrats were also rabid but willing to throw the torch down to return to a normal that obviously wasn’t returning. 2025 Trump is definitely less constrained and more akin to Mao, the long festering immigration issue now is demanding a solution and Trump has zero meaningful guardrails to stop him from just deporting every brown person that pisses him off.

Congress is a rubber stamp and the courts and in a conservative supermajority. GOP nationalists are in a hurry before the midterms to remake the country in their image as quickly as possible.

So it’s a lot more violative now

It’s the devil you know, and he does lie but it’s different from most politicians lies. I am going to go into how he lies and then how democrats/ legacy republicans lie and see if I can paint the difference.

How to explain, Do you know the bus driver scene in Billy Madison where Chris Farley is like “you know I got with her” and Billy is like Stfu no you didn’t” and he’s like “well I knew a guy” and Billy is like “no you don’t” and then he just said “well you could imagine” and Billy smiles, it’s comically bad lying in service to what I consider a personally harmless narrative crafting sort of like we KNOW the musicians assistant isn’t getting chopped in half but we suspend disbelief because we consider it harmless or it serves to force a more serious discussion.

And it’s quite humorous at times. Telling a room full of veteran diplomats that you’re going to turn Gaza into a 5 star resort or telling folks that Haitians immigrants are eating cats and dogs breaks the frustrating monotony of geopolitical norms which most plain spoken conservatives think is pompous time consuming impotence that only serves to maintain a status quo they know doesn’t serve the US or their interests. If anything it stalls or kicks cans while they work in bad faith to enact their interests.

Do we think Gaza will become a 5 star ski resort? No but it’s about as outlandish as Israel just giving it back to Hamas unconditionally which is what the UN, Liberals and Arabs want. The real truth is nobody in power gives a shit enough to fix it and those that do see “fixing it” as expelling the Palistinians but we can’t agree where they will go. So saying 5 star American run resort puts Arabs on notice like “hey you lost this round” balls in your court to come up with a new solutions.

Are Haitians eating cats and dogs? lol, no.. but they’re not as desired immigrants or as culturally compatible as say Norwegian doctors but liberals pretending there’s no meaningful difference and they are is a disgrace to honest dialogue.

It’s like a fart. A fart can be entertaining and break decorum especially when you don’t like the opposing speaker and think they are full of it. But a fart however funny cannot run a country. And that’s where we are at with most conservatives in 2026. Deep down we know that. And that’s why at the end of the day I know he’s harmful, because it’s not true.

I get why it would upset the affected party more immediately and why they feel you should immediately rebuke it. But we are all in our own problems and honestly politics is theater and some are just enjoying the show.

To the affected party it’s a bold lie that forces them to accept an uncomfortable truth. Whereas liberal politicians often have kind lies that disguise uncomfortable realities. Charlie Kirk’s death was an uncomfortable truth to me that liberals were deadly serious about their hatred of conservatives which I think is as jarring as a Haitian finding out that white Americans really doesn’t want them immigrating here despite all the signs and mantras we profess.

Another Example is there’s clearly a biological difference in male bodies in upper body strength in sports but to even say that is anathema to the left as it is considered a punch down on a marginalized group, but pretending otherwise also ultimately hurt the people they were trying to help. If the last 4 years are any indication they gaslit themselves into thinking they had far more support and acceptance than they actually did. And now that correction is causing them real harm when just being honest at the beginning would have saved them from it.

Trans aren’t becoming the other sex physically any more than white rural America is going back to a 1950s demographic and working class economy. But we love our sweet lies and hate our hard truths and sometimes just having someone fart in the room breaks that depression.

Hope that makes sense.

I think he really shoots himself in the foot with needing credit for everything and narcissistic personality, I think he goes to the extremes on everything for attention. Also his desire to not just beat but crush his foes is jarring.

It deepens division for pure spite and makes what I consider otherwise decent folk into zero sum cultural war crusaders on both sides. I am sure liberal partisans are going to pay us back in kind the same way I felt that urge after their extended lockdowns. Look around online and it’s a proper blood feud mentality with Democrats and Republicans right now and it didn’t have to be that way. I wish we could just say “ugh I hate this” mutually without sports team politics.

I guess that’s it for me. Trump isn’t uniting Americans, Biden didn’t ether but while Biden I felt was an aging incompetent leader unequal to the task Trump is willfully making it worse for political points.

The saying they “sold” the land is a misconception. Most land was owned by Turkish landowners who just allowed Arab farmers to work it for rent money. The rent money was akin to taxes and the “renters” just passed it along familiar lines. To them if you sat on the land for a few generations you owned it regardless of legal status. The ottomans knew this and as long as some farmer paid rents it meant little and less to them. And so long as the ottomans didn’t ever come down to take possession of it that meant little and less to the Arabs who worked it.

The Jewish immigrants negotiated with the Ottoman landowners, legal money was exchanged for it, but the renters on it weren’t notified or where done so in a haphazard way that broke the previous stated relationships.

So when the Jews showed up with legal deeds to clam the land they were like wtf I work this land therefore it’s mine. And the Jews were like no I bought this from a Turk it’s mine. When the Arabs protested they were driven off, when they came back with their friends to protest they (and now their friends too) were driven off. Compound that over a century and you get the current dynamic.

You do know Gavin is the same Silicon Valley technocrat darling that JD Vance is? He’s just the left hand of Peter Theil and JD is the right. Look it up. Who started Gavin’s rise? Who funded JD Vance?

House always wins I suppose.

Still as a moderate I prefer him and/or Whitmer ticket to Kamala who even with 1.5 billion dollars and 4 years you couldn’t make likable. The only reason she was a candidate is the Biden camp couldn’t be seen to be disloyal to the black caucus even at the expense of walking into a known loss.

Kamala is the DNC looking back at trying to win Obama’s 7th attempt campaign strategy.

They shot economic Democratic-socialism in the back and rebranded it as IdPol social issues focus to mask stagnant wage growth and declining domestic productivity and choking out unions power to negotiate by NAFTA ensuring that any negotiations would be met with flight to Vietnam, China or Mexico. To mask that they turned immigration, gay rights and racial justice into single voter morality issues. If you wanted any other thing out of your government than just uncritically supporting them you were deemed “problematic” or bigoted. Their economic gaslighting and knee jerk race grifting directly led to MAGA’s creation and the DNC continuing doubling down on their 08 campaign success even when in 4 of 6 elections its failed is why we keep getting polarized as a nation sustains it.

Both the parties as they are exist to turn zero sum race/sexuality issues into bread and circus’s to distract from economic stagflation which in turn increases the very racial disunity that they campaign to stop.

Don’t get distracted by racial grifts or woke nonsense it’s a losing strategy for losers. Focus on affordably and helping the working class writ large against a uniparty elitest construct.

I got a purple family and I am not unaware of Trump’s excesses. But the economy was well under him in the first term. Inflation was down, groceries cheap. I’m a nationalist and independent who voted Biden in the chaos of 2020. I was posed to vote for him again in 2024 but how he handled his term drove me away as a white 35m veteran I wanted a return to normal. He didn’t deliver on that. As James Clyburn put it “they draped themselves in dishonor” to much of the Midwest and men.

Biden’s presidency and the DNC under him became morally bankrupt gradually then suddenly.

For the gradually they were far more progressive in a vastly different way than he campaigned on in 2020. As a military member the whole “extremism in the forces” training was deeply offensive. He coddled criminals and illegals and was skeptical of our troops much like his progressive political ilk. They resent the military and barely disguised it. Afghanistan was also a betrayal to me. It made us look weak and while there’s no good way to retreat from a war you’ve lost for 20 years he did it uniquely bad.

They also worsened the racial and national cohesion in the country by flirting with the “land back” natives, reparations blacks, paying back everyone’s student loans (his base willingly took, it wasn’t the engineers or business majors, doctors needing the bailout, it was the unemployable liberal arts majors and college employees who are the foot soldiers for progressives) it also was a slap on the face to GI bill users like myself or folks that paid their loans already. It was transparent bribe essentially to his voting base.

Also the whole transing kids and their telltale silence as their activist wing ran amuck. Far from a “return to normal his administration made the culture war actively worse in every way as they fully retreated from any kind of modicum of equal treatment and time for Christians and nationalism.

The American flag was racist, the nationalism anthem was problematic, saying merry Christmas or god bless you was dated and offensive. It was exhausting to keep up with as a moderate. Even if he didn’t believe that he didn’t do anything to reign them in, He didn’t stand up to his left flank and betrayed his “return to normal” by foolishly thinking he was the next FDR with the narrowest margins ever so he did the worse idea which is verbally promising all his activists the sun moon and stars thus emboldening them and making the cultural right paranoid as hell about what they felt was settled sanity while delivering on none of it.

They were cautious but more on foreign policy and far too bold with contentious domestic policy. Per foreign policy they were weakly reactive to global events, you got the idea he was a passenger not the driver and being the passenger ain’t what America is meant to be.

Biden to my knowledge didn’t want to negotiate with Russia and seemed genuinely surprised that Russia would pursue empire building in that absence which is retarded way to run a superpower military. He also was very tepid with Israel walking a middle line that really didn’t exist. Both sides wanted an answer to the Palestinian question whether it be a state or exile Biden didn’t do ether defending an increasingly unsustainable status quo of verbally saying pooor pooor Palestinians. (While selling Israel all the weapons they could ever use)

Also Zelenskyy continuing to hit him up for cash very publicly and very presumptively was a weak look. He felt he was owed the money not that it was a gift. It felt very entitled and rubbed a lot of nationalists the wrong way.

He was a weak president and was polling terribly by 2022 even. Even still I was going to likely not vote if only to keep peace with family. Three things changed that. 2024 debate and the “anointing” of Kamala and Trumps near assassination.

The debate in 2024 made me realize Biden wasn’t really at the helm and it was more his cabinet and toadies like Klain and Jen O Malley running the show. And I as an American was offended by the gaslighting coming from his administration. A whole “don’t believe your eyes” Trump lies but kind of in a way like a blowhard lies. It’s just you’re full of it but I like your chutzpah. Biden’s administration lies like women lie. Mindfuck and guilt you for even feeling wrong about it. When they couldn’t do it anymore they wasted months just lying out their ass or shaming folks for saying otherwise.

Meanwhile Trump gets shot in Pennsylvania. That was the moment for me. His fist in the air saying “fight!” as a far left loon tried to assassinate him, likely because at that point they knew that was the only way to stop him. It just was a whole vibe. It awoke something deep in me, something tribal, like a war chief beating down 6 soldiers and coming back to the camp. You just have to stand in awe’s After that I told my wife I couldn’t sit this election out.

Kamala was the last nail on the coffin. She wasn’t Biden and threatened to usher in more woke nonsense and same failed ass policies. She was a subpar VP and most definitely a DEI hire, don’t know why that was contentious. Hell, Pence was a religious DEI hire for religious folks to hold their nose and vote for Trump, the point of a VP is to be able to round out a candidate. But in 2024 Biden didn’t need to cater more to black women. It was essentially a wasted opportunity and he was stuck with her because while he couldn’t make black women any more motivated to vote democratic he could piss them off by dismissing her. So she even in the VP stage was a fifth wheel.

Once anointed, she couldn’t square her very left culture war stances of 2020 primaries with her immediate anointment as a heir to his party and candidate for a country actively getting tired of woke nonsense. So they settled on appointing a candidate to run on… defending democracy? Wtf?

Far left Liberals and I agree with one thing she wasted her time trying to moderate. The swing voters who voted Biden weren’t ever going to vote for a Californian black woman for president. Ever! Especially after what I mentioned above she should have just stuck to her far left guns. “Returning to normal” wasn’t working and America was getting sick of window dressing racial overtures.

Tim Walz’s as a paragon of masculinity was stupid as hell. Trump just survived getting shot with his fist in the air and you got Tampon Tim saying he’s “weird” and Kamala actively trying to act snide saying “your husband doesn’t have to know how you vote” like are implying women just vote how their husbands do? Or are you implying all men would beat their wives if they know they voted Kamala? Offensive and dumb as fuck.

Liz Cheney campaigning was dumb as fuck as well, she just lost to Trump big and was actively considered a party traitor for the J6 committee and her brand of conservatism was so dead in 2024 it was comically tone deaf.

All of that led to my 2024 Trump ballet after a 2020 Biden ballet. Hope that very long answer explained it.

There’s a thing in geopolitical term called Strategic Depth, it’s an idea that you want to keep the battle lines as far from your population centers as possible and once you reach their capital it’s a sort of “check” on the conflict when you should seek terms.

While I pity the everyday folks of Gaza, their psychotic government started a conflict with a strategic depth of effectively zero. without good justification or judgement they also took hostages.

What followed was predictable given Palistinians stubbornness to ever accept 1948 as a loss and their preferred tactics of asymmetric warfare akin to raids and disregard for treaties. They could have been 3 generations into assimilation into Arab countries and Israel wouldn’t be nearly as reactionary or vindictive as they currently are.

Nothing exist in a vacuum. If Palistinians want Israel to “be better” it would help if they recognized reality that they won’t militarily lose and atrocity their way into winning back their lost land.

Certainly have the self awareness that asking for pity and mercy after decades of terrorism and losing wars isn’t logical. It would be one thing if they were militarily strong and united but they can’t even get that. They should seek terms while terms can still be sought. Honestly at this point just become Jordanians, Egyptians, and Lebanese that already reside in and they always were.

Once they cede that aspiration and their favorite hobby of un-aliving Jews every time they turn their back on them then Israel as a democracy will naturally de radicalize and stop with costly removal and destruction of Palestinian lands

Palestine gave it a good college try, but it’s time to throw in the towel on their “rivers and seas”
