The whole system needs a reboot. And the only way that happens is with a true outsider who can shed light on what is actually happening.


While I agree that outsiders who do not want to preserve the current system are the best choice, this type of thinking is naiive.

You can elect Trump or any other outsider and the system will launch another collective immune response just like it did after the 2016 election. The administrative agencies will drag their feet on directives, the media will attack constantly and even fabricate stories, the courts will stall executive orders and legislation, and money will flow to protestors to make havoc at critical times/places. The entire thing will resist and prevail over a single man, just like it did last time.

If you want to think "big picture" in pursuit of lasting change, you need to really think about where power actually resides and how to get the public to stop drinking their lefty kool aid in exchange for your righty kool aid. You literally have to change the culture before the ruling paradigm will change. You need art, comedy, movies, music, TV, public education, higher education, etc. all pushing your narratives over the narratives of the left.

This seems (and at this moment truly is) impossible, given the current state of things. The zeitgeist of our age is the American flavor of neoliberalism. In order to change this, you need for the elites to become either incapable or unwilling to rule. You need for the public to look at these elites and say "not only do they not represent me, they are not as competent as I am and they have no business leading." In my view, the easiest way to this end is to constantly hold a withering mirror to their fecklessness, corruption, and hypocrisy. The internet has made this possible. Entities like LibsofTikTok and James O'Keefe have done orders of magnitude more to change the culture than any of your preferred GOP candidates for office ever will.

When CNN/ABC/Fox/MSNBC/NYT/WaPo start constantly criticizing the military industrial complex and Harvard and Yale start discrediting gender ideology and critical race studies, you will know you are on the right track. But the path to this end is not "elect this guy." This is a 50 year project at minimum and the best weapons you currently wield are satire and humor.
