1. Here’s a two-minute clip, a supercut of the ‘J.D.Vance is weird’ propaganda of the last two weeks. It's not just Dem politicians in robotic synchronicity, but media figures, too. That's one part of the ‘coordination’ problem. Are they in it together? Is this the Matrix?
2. If we relate the political & psychological aspects of political communications, we see immediately that Americans are far closer to Trump than to this media ‘coordination.’ It's undemocratic to have so much ostensible conformism, in other words, it seems disingenuous & even corrupt. Trump is an entertainer. His adversaries are the Borg.
3. Next, there is the tech issue. In any given instance, you just let it slide. But when you get the outside or digital perspective & all this instances add up, fall into a pattern, evince this mad repetition, you get the evidence that this is a show of unanimity liberals put on, across formal institutional divides, platforms, &c. That’s what’s so obviously inhuman, scary, uncanny. They have to act this way because of the institutions & tech they’re part of, they cannot escape anymore than we can.
4. The digital perspective therefore reveals an attack on humanity. Trump & Vance look all too human. They're victims in the making for that reason. It's their job to persuade Americans that we all share this vulnerability, that we have to escape this fate.
5. Connected to that is an elite problem: Liberals need on the one hand access to the state, on the other hand some kind of popularity. On the public facing side, liberal elites have to prove they wield influence, or they're useless, indeed parasitical. They put on these shows for purposes of influence, but they thereby throw away their elite status. We all have some way of judging behavior, & we know that this is now how sophisticated, intelligent adults are supposed to behave themselves. We know & they know that it's a lie. They don't believe what they're saying. This is neither about Enlightenment nor about power, because they're trying too hard...
6. At a deeper level, the elite problem is that Dems have no leaders they’re willing to put forward. It’s remarkable, if you want to try to understand America: Running all the major public institutions, liberals should have it easy recruiting & fostering talent in schools-colleges, taking them through finance, the state, or the media to gain experience & influence, then all the way to politics to compete for national office. This isn’t happening, because all these institutions are malfunctioning. This is what Rufo is proving through digging up scandals, picking fights with figures much more glamorous than he is, & beating them bloody to prove the point that you, too, should go forth & do likewise.
7. Finally, rejecting media manipulation is an all-American desire. We can all tell somehow that we are being lied to, that the demands made on us to believe Kamala Harris is the embodiment of Progress or anything of the kind are profoundly unnatural. We have a right to oppose the attempt to glamorize madness. Our eyes & our judgment tell us elite liberals are bullshitting to hide their loss of power. The elections will as much ratify as cause a loss of power.
8. Now, three quick thoughts about what’s coming & what to do. The liberal attempt to perform inception on the population—“this is weird, reject it”—depends on the influence of middle-aged women, which in turn depends on the tendency of men to defer to them. Much of the campaign will be men attacking women for being dumb or arrogant.
9. The attempted separation of Americans into weird people who complain about elite America & normies who want access to or benefits from that elite is a much more serious concern. It will inevitably uncover our desire to form a counter-elite around J.D. Vance. The more openly we act & the more persuasively we offer people relief from the gynaikocracy, the better things will go. Avoiding hysteria, quieting it down is what’s at stake emotionally.
10. The most reliable way to win this competition is to strip the glamour from liberals. Reveal the cruelty underneath. Mockery is part of that, outclassing them intellectually or politically, even better entertainment. Liberal dominance of the media is now a liability electorally, not an asset. We can only win if we judge what we should do on this basis.
You want weird? https://www.theunion.com/opinion/columns/terry-mcateer-another-side-to-kamala-harris/article_f79b5fff-5a50-5eed-a63b-d67d8419c3d3.html
And because I am proudly broken-record and someday will be 100% vindicated for being so, even that is not as thoroughly weird, as is the voluntary conservative participation in the greatest suppression campaign ever conducted, the suppression of the widespread CV-19 vax-harms story.
