Granted I don't consume a ton of the nihilist content but at least there is still hope that the "patriots are in charge." Now if we start getting to late 2027/early 2028, it's going to get real bad. Things like boots on the ground in Iran before then can speed up that timeline.

To provide sound bites that can be used to portray Trump supporters as radicalized white supremacists which can then be used to continue the “greatest threat” narrative.

Trump could have been the rudder and as you pointed out provided hope but by not delivering he is speeding it up. Now it’s not all him plenty of boomer left and rights are playing their part in it.

Either someone is going to have to actually deliver and placate people or eventually we will see actual violence break out. Feels like this happens over and over in history

That is boomer/Q content and they hate the "patriots" now.

Anytime a generation or 2 of young men feel hopeless, REALLY bad stuff happens. At that point, calling it "leftist" or "right wing" won't make any difference.

Yes

Promoting racism as a theory is a business.

I agree doesn’t matter left or right it’s going to not be good.

The good jobs being taken through H1B/AI and the depressing of wages is going to be a problem. Then you have the housing problem fueled by blackstone and boomers plus foreign buyers is just more gas.

If a generation of men have opportunities for jobs, decent wages and housing they settle down.

I view it more as a money issue on both sides, the power structure we have in DC lends to our politicians becoming greedy. If more than 10 people in DaC was a true believer of anything I’d be shocked. It boils down to money and power.

Facts, brother. Quote us some non-SPLC stats on KKK/Neo-Nazi presence and numbers in the US.

Since links and factual backing is often not your thing, I'll give you a start. The ADL (not much better than the SLPC) estimates roughly 3,000 Klan members nationwide, but admits that even these memberships are often "short-lived." That's obviously why the SLPC had need to gin them up

It's money but the romance/dating aspect of their lives is also completely fricked.

Partially…the Q influence just fueled the algorithm into boosting her profile. Most of the GA voters are not QAnons.

The interesting connection with the QAnon stuff is Alexander Dugin and MTG/Tucker. It was always claimed that the entire Q universe was a Russian psyop which may very well be true.
interesting...go on, please.

What do you think of the right hand to Putin tweeting Q breadcrumbs?

What do you think of shadow of Ezra, and I am told many other Qinfluencers on X--- did 180s and now post like Tucker slash democrats?

Correct, but that's one group, and a basically dead one at that.

There are LOTS of these small groups. Referencing how a former large one is dead now matter little in the big picture.

And I never said there was a significant portion of our population with these views. I specifically said earlier a reasonable estimate of 1% would yield 3.5M total.

They aren't going to take over or anything, but they exist, and I'd wager are growing due to the current climate, especially with young men.

Im not sure there is a realistic path to fixing that in the current culture. The prospect of getting hit with a me to, the fat girls having insane standards and such seem to be more a cultural thing. Only way to fix that would maybe have generations of girls become more conservative.

The jobs, money and housing could be placated if DC wasn’t compromised.

A lot of things could be put in place like smashing blackstone, taking apart or extremely limiting PE to very limited fields, hitting businesses with very serious fines over H1Bs colliding on wages, and limiting who can buy property.

It's why the Bernie Bros caused so much friction back in the day for the DNC. They bought in to a lot of the socialist economic principles as a way to fix their money issues but didn't buy into a lot of the SJW non-sense, at least not as a whole cohort.

A tale as old as time. Whatever the "cause" is is immaterial (incels, jihad, fighting the bourgeoisie, street gangs, etc) the underlying scarcity of money, housing, and companionship is what drives young men (primarily) to these extremist ideologies.

This is why it's not really a "gotcha" when people point out that sketchy right wing influencers on this spectrum may have been leftists in the past. It doesn't make their current stances part of the Left/DEMs.

He helps Trump about as much as David Duke helped Romney or the TikiTorchers helped Youngkin.
