From my viewpoint what has happened is that populism has smoothed out people's brains to the point that they can no longer process what the phrase, "Acting in your country's best interest," actually means.

If the action in question is anything other than a direct, linear, "A causes D" relationship, populists can't process it as being in the country's best interest.

Also populism has pretty much destroyed people's ability to comprehend that multiple things can be true at once.

This literally describes the anti-Trump crowd more than the populists you despise. It has been pointed out hundreds of times how that group can't see the forest for the trees.

Up to this day, the Trump haters have to "pretend" to be dumb to make their arguments.

The problem isn't podcasters or populists. It's conservatives who demand absolute purity and then will burn everything down if they don't get their way.

Just look at how many conservatives are hoping for our troops to die so they have another reason to complain.

You can feel the giddiness every time they pretend Iran is holding its own. You can feel the anger in them every time Trump says things are going well.

It's sad how many conservatives will happily see this country falter just so they can say I told you so.

Conservatives want to be right more than they want the country to succeed.

This is where my thought process has started to go. I think it's obvious that the IC blackmails the congressmen and senators who aren't/weren't being bought.

I'd wondered what would cause Tucker to go off the rails like he has. It's no surprise that Candace and Megan have always had the potential to go nuts (See: Hot/Crazy Matrix). Fuentes has always seemed like a plant. But Tucker - he's had too long of a history of being a clear voice for truth and conservatism. I don't think he's been bought, I think he's being blackmailed to divide the right and is making the Israel obsession the tool to do it.

They've done it to themselves because overall they aren't serious people. They argue among themselves over stupid shite.like Candace Owens vs Ben Shapiro over stupid shite and Nick Fuentes vs Erika Kirk for instance.

Also populism has pretty much destroyed people's ability to comprehend that multiple things can be true at once. So if we have an action that looks like this: A causes B, which causes C (and this benefits someone else) and C causes D (which benefits America), populists have become so simple that they can't follow that chain and refuse to acknolwedge that it's an "America first" thing to do.
