Trump has accomplished many things that we were told for my entire life were outside the realm of possibility, the alternative to which was Kamala fucking Harris. Black pillers would do well to remember the dictum that life doesn't ask what you want, it merely provides you choices

This is part of why I listen to this show. A lot of people my age are black pilled because all they’ve known is Trump. Scott knows what it was like in the past and talks about it well.

Until Trump came down the escalator, being "right wing" in America simply meant that you wanted slow progressivism. It was incredibly demoralizing. You could dislike Obama but believe that "progress" was inevitable, that America would get gayer, browner, and more socialist etc; this was accepted by everyone, like the law of gravity. The GOP talked about how to adapt to this new reality like they were discussing putting on snow tires. It was only with Trump that the American people realized that we could say no to all this shit, and that in fact we are the majority. For this reason I agree with mystery Grove that the most respectable thing to do at this moment is to be a Trump shill

I understand of course why no one wants to jump on this grenade - it would likely mean the end of a career - but the greatest service a conservative media figure of sufficient stature could do is bringing to popular awareness some basic facts about black America.

That a third of all adult black men are felons, the IQ gap, that testing gaps haven’t closed in 50 years, the magnitude of affirmative action. Getting really spicy, albeit still wholly within the bounds of provable data, would mean talking about genetic distances, etc.

Whites will continue to remain puzzled and angered by black reactions to things like the Metcalfe or the OJ murder because they remain almost wholly ignorant of reality on these and related issues. A hundred years from now, a very interesting sociological study will be published (likely in Chinese) on how this mass ignorance was so long and so thoroughly maintained.

Identity politics Trump is doing fine on. If his retarded economic populism causes a recession then democrats will have an easy time winning in 2028, and especially if a recession occurs before the midterms. Trump 1.0 followed standard Republican economic playbook, and eveything was fine. Now he’s bringing people deny basic economic realities into actual policy and the markets are shaping up to be against him.

This is what I feel too. Trump causing a recession feels like destroying the whole anti-woke cultural movement. So unfortunate he could not keep to Trump 1.0 on economics, but keep the identity politics stuff he is doing now.

I would love if he used the military against BLM. They deserve it.
