I think it might be useful to do a real assessment at some point of who has the ability to shape the narrative and how it isn’t (for instance) all but a few Congressional Dems. One thing that does help shape the narrative, though: posts like this.

look, I'm not really even calling balls and strikes on the LA protests, but Dr. King saw teenagers get exploded by the Klan and still felt compelled to think about strategy, I'm sorry if that's lame to you

Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol. Hundreds of dangerous felons who brutally beat police officers with impunity were then pardoned by the President on his first day in office. Don’t ever lecture America about law and order.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

I keep saying this, and I feel like a broken record, but there must be consequences for this. Any Democrat that will stand in the way of these monsters being punished to the fullest extent of the law needs to be viciously primaried before or during the 2028 cycle.

A dictator can't start disappearing people before consolidating power. And Trump was never going to be able to consolidate power. I still mourn for what he has done and will yet do to our country, but he won't achieve most of his goals in the end.

I feel like the President of the United States threatening a private citizen if they support the rival political party should be a big story? - “If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News. “He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added. -

the left was ripping Biden to shreds for inflation as early as 2022, as he was pushing for full employment in the face of bosses howling about labor and product costs. they attacked him for not cancelling student debt, and when he did and the Supreme Court overturned it, argued it was a ruse

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

Not only was it the right thing to do to draw attention to the Trump administration violating this man's rights; it also hurt Trump. This despite immigration being Trump's "strongest issue." It's June 2025 not November 2026, you should be trying to shape public opinion not letting it lead you.

Imagine assembling a secret armory piece by piece in enemy territory over the course of more than a year, programming all the attacks you need to make, doing a perfect exfil with no one the wiser, and then pushing a button and activating your pre-preparaed attack. That is what happened. Remarkable.
