Some thoughts on Trump's run for the White House in 2024, prompted by his announcement speech.

First, he has clearly aged. His voice today sounds thin. He sounds, to use his own famous phrase about Jeb Bush, "low energy". There is considerably less "oomph" there than in 2015. Of course, that was 7 years ago, so we shouldn't be surprised, but still, this change does not bode well for his chances.

Second, as Academic Agent has pointed out, a very significant thing is that Trump has not been reinstated on Twitter. Whether this indicates that Elon Musk dislikes him, or simply isn't going to reinstate anyone, is sort of immaterial. Either way, Trump is without the greatest technological/media weapon that he had: his Twitter account.

More profoundly, the vision he communicates in this speech is bland, dull and dumb. It is essentially: "I made America great again. The Dems have messed that up. Let's restore America to how it was in December 2020."

The most obvious problem here - for you and me - is that Trump didn't make America great again. The fundamental problems were still there at the end of his presidency - the nihilism, the soulless culture, the loss of racial cohesion, the total dissolution of a white American identity among normies, the absence of religion, the rampant consumerism, the incredibly corrupt establishment (the CIA, the FBI, the Deep State, etc.), a media sector full of traitors, and an education sector that day by day was systematically corrupting America's youth. Trump did not defeat any of these problems, so it is absurd to say that he made America great again. Never did Trump acknowledge the depth and severity of what was destroying America and the West in general; never did he get even remotely close to overcoming it.

But most right-wingers do not understand any of this. For them, much more relevant is the fact that, throughout Trump's presidency, all the organs that have run rampant ever since were either dormant (and not dismantled) or actively growing. Not only did he not make America great again, he didn't even protect it against real and present cancers that were developing right there and then. He did nothing against BLM, nothing against the WEF, nothing against Blackrock, nothing against Soros, nothing against Big Tech (which deplatformed him during his presidency!), and nothing against the covid con or the entire infrastructure that made it happen. Nothing.

It is fitting, then, that his speech announcing his "return" focused overwhelmingly on economic matters. And of course it pleased his supporters. The tragedy of mainstream right-wingers is that they understand almost nothing of the world around them - they do not understand identity (SJW), they do not understand soul (consumerism), they do not understand liberty (WEF), they do not understand power (Blackrock). Thus, they have no way to even recognise the various forces that are destroying everything they care about. Thus, they fall for a buffoon like Donald Trump.

Having said all of that, it is still the case that Trump has the ability to drive the Left - and the rest of the Establishment - nuts. For that reason alone, I hope he wins.

It’s incredibly important to distinguish between various Third Position movements and ensure that you are providing the right organizations your support and avoiding the wrong ones. There is a major fear of dividing the social space among White dissidents, which is understandable, but we should be equally afraid of the coming 3P regime being formed by incompetent leaders who will drive us to ruin.

Not all White dissidents who are critical of the anti-White regime have legitimate solutions. The answer some have is to shift from a focus on race to that of religion. If in power, they would enforce race blindness as a matter of law and throw White separatists in prison. They would encourage miscegenation and claim the only thing that matters is adherence to the Semitic god Yahweh. And they could do all this in the name of fascism, and it would be a legitimate form of fascism if the government was restructured into a corporate state.

This is something I don’t believe we talk enough about, and If this warning is not heeded, we may very well within our lifetime experience such a paradigm shift. The question is, if such a thing were to occur, would it be because you were uncritical of who you were supporting? Just because someone is critical of the current regime’s anti-White program doesn’t mean they are pro-White, even if they espouse fascism.

If you don’t see this as a very real possibility you have your head in the sand. The 40 million anti-racist evangelicals who are losing their patience and becoming radicalized would be wildly supportive of making Trump dictator for life. Tens of millions of Catholics, many of whom are non-Whites, would happily support such a development as well. If you weren’t raised around evangelicals like me than you really have no clue just how anti-White they are. This is also why it is so dangerous to support people like Trump.
