How can anyone blackpill at a time like this? The reality is that the left can’t win. That’s not just happy talk. That's objective reality. We're going to win, and we're seeing evidence of it every day. This is the greatest of timelines, one in which the patriotic populist revolution, whose avatar is Donald J. Trump, is back to putting points on the board and totally owning the libs. Look at how things are going. We just won a war against the seventh-century apocalyptic perverts who’ve been killing our people for nearly 50 years, making Democrats, podcasters, and other losers livid. The Supreme Court just came out and said that Democrats can no longer reserve over a dozen House seats for other Democrats on the dubious premise that only black Democrats can represent certain districts. Justice Kagan and the rest of them just about plotzed—how dare Republicans stand up to the racial spoils system that gave them representation beyond what they were due? And Republicans, starting with Ron DeSantis but also elsewhere, are seeing the writing on the wall: it’s time to fight, including by aggressively gerrymandering.
We’ve got a military being rebuilt, with patriotic young Americans flocking to serve. We’ve got the Democrat NGO funding machine being junked, depriving them of money. Illegal aliens aren’t flooding across our border, and more of them are getting sent home every day. The Trump administration is winning like 95% of its court cases. James Comey has been indicted—again. Oh, and the feds are raiding the local "learing" centers in Minneapolis.
This is glorious.
Nope, we don’t have the SAVE Act. Sure, some Republicans are still squishes. But more and more of them are coming our way—it’s finally getting through to people that we either win this or become serfs. We are making fundamental, transformative change in the United States. The tide has turned: against mutilating kids, against the privacy of perverts, against criminals—the crime rate is plummeting while your stocks are soaring. And yet there are those who were blackpilled, who would find the cloud behind the silver lining, who are never quite as happy as they are when they’re miserable and things are rotten.
Oh, we’ve got a tough fight ahead, no doubt about it. We’re always going to have a tough fight ahead. There’s never going to be a time when we don’t have a tough fight ahead. But folks, we’re winning. We are kicking tail. We are tearing up the progressive garbage of the last 30 years and building a new golden age, one in which all that failed leftist ideology has been totally rejected by most normal people. Yeah, there will be a residue of pinkos left, mostly in blue cities, who insist on holding on to their failed ideology. Oh well. Let’s hang that millstone around their necks for the next election. Hey America, this November you’ve got a choice: make America more like Chicago or more like Miami. Man, that’s the easiest call anybody would ever have to make. No, the Democrats aren’t taking it well. In fact, they’re spazzing out, which is typical. We’re all racists and fascists and transphobes and whatever, and no one cares anymore. It just doesn’t resonate. They’re all up in arms about how we’re going to take advantage of the no-racial-set-aside districts ruling after what they did in Virginia, and even the softest Republicans kind of shrug. It’s finally breaking through to people that there are no rules or norms—not as applied to Democrats. You can’t have a rule or norm if it doesn’t apply to everybody, and we could never avail ourselves of them, so we’ve come up with a radical new notion.
We don’t avail ourselves of them anymore.
We don’t try to please our enemies anymore because experience has demonstrated that there’s no pleasing them. They have no coherent ideology except power, and even our weakest hearts are starting to understand that we’re not going to be able to talk to them or reason with them, but only to defeat them through brute political force—and if they get uppity like their communist analogs in the Spanish Civil War, the other kind of force.
No, they’re not taking this well. As soon as the Supreme Court rejected their racial spoils system, we started hearing about how every thoroughly gerrymandered blue state is going to gerrymander even harder, as if that were possible. Go for it. If you could’ve done it, you already would’ve done it. And then there’s the other stuff. They’re going to pack the Supreme Court. They’re going to split D.C. into 16 states. They’re going to take power and hold it forever, guaranteeing that we never have a say in our government again.
Yeah, how do you think that’s going to work out? It’s weird how they believe they exist in an environment in stasis, that things will go on as they always have, even though they have changed the environment. The Supreme Court gets the respect it does because, with some debate, there’s a consensus that there’s some legitimacy because it was established via a fair process. In fact, the Republicans went through a roughly 50-year process of winning over the Supreme Court and have finally succeeded. There was some brass-knuckle politics involved, but that’s OK. Politics is often brass-knuckled. Look at Virginia. But they think they can somehow, by the closest of margins, change the rules, take over, and everything will otherwise remain the same. But that’s not how human nature works.
In what universe would a 15-justice Supreme Court with six new leftists put on by President Kamala Harris after 51 senators destroyed the filibuster to pass it have any legitimacy at all for the red states? “Hey, you cisgender racist Christian males, we’ve decided that the right to keep and bear arms doesn’t actually exist, so please head down to the local police station to turn in your guns. Thanks.”
Oh yeah, that’ll work.
See, the Democrats are all talk and no action, literally. The only thing they can do is talk us into obeying them. Previously, that worked because the institutions had legitimacy. There were fair elections, and sometimes we won and sometimes we lost, but if we lost, we accepted it because that was the process and we’d have a chance to come back later. But why would we accept the situation where we never have a chance to come back, where the rules we thought applied—you know, like that pesky Constitution—don’t ever apply to our benefit? Why again would we accept the legitimacy of that paradigm? And if we don’t accept its legitimacy, why would we obey?
Well, the traditional reason throughout history was force. The government would literally send people with weapons to kill you if you didn’t do what you were supposed to do. The United States was different. In America, we are all part of a republic, and we generally feel morally obligated to abide by what our government determines through our constitutional processes. In other words, we obeyed because we considered the government legitimate, even if we didn’t like particular policies. So, what happens if the government stops being legitimate? We stop doing what those occupying government offices say. And then the question becomes, “What are they going to do about it?” No wonder they hate the idea of us having 400 million guns out there. That reality provides a check on an illegitimate government. See, here’s the thing. There are a whole lot of us who are armed and trained who would fight and, if necessary, die, to be free. What’s the name of the guy willing to fight and, if necessary, die, to make us not free? Is it Kaden from Santa Monica? Ashliegh from Wellesley? Do you see Harry Sisson suiting up in Kevlar with an M4 to head down into Appalachia to compel us to accept mandatory transitioning of our kids?
They’ll get right on that.
See, that’s a problem for them. They can push and push and push, but at a certain point, what they have to push against is a bayonet. And who’s going to do that? Not any of them. But you know, a lot of us already have and totally would again if the alternative was serfdom to a bunch of neurotic, sexually dysfunctional wine women and their femboy mates.
They’re not thinking through the endgame. They’re running their mouths:
- Talk smack on X
- ?
- Rule over patriots forever
They can’t make us do anything. Sure, we have James Carville fantasizing about walking down the government forever and disenfranchising half of the Americans he doesn’t like. He was a Marine, and he knows better, because there aren’t a lot of Marines on his side. They’re on ours. Leftists need legitimacy to get us to obey because that’s all they have to work with. The force option, in the final analysis, just isn’t going to work—if you think a battalion of infantrymen is going to start sweeping through the rebellious red countryside, arresting and killing the people they grew up with in order to reinstate DEI, illegal immigration, and climate hoax policies, I’ve got news for you. These guys are paper tigers. That’s why we’re going to win. Because they can only prevail when we let them. And what we’re seeing now is the Trump administration not letting them. We are no longer doing what they want. They cite one-way norms, principles, and guardrails to restrain us, but we’ve discovered we can just ignore them. After all, what are they going to do? Call us bad people? They already call us bad people. Who cares?
We’re going to win. We’re going to win because they can’t win if we refuse to let them. Oh, they’re going to be troublesome for a while, but we’re already outbreeding them. At the next census, they’re going to lose a bunch of seats because no one wants to live in their blue hellholes with hobos squatting on the sidewalks while everybody who works for a living is getting taxed into oblivion. Their policies are a disaster. They’ve been a disaster everywhere. And you can’t hide that forever. In contrast, we succeed. We bring peace and prosperity.
Don’t blackpill. That’s stupid. The fact is that we can’t lose, and right now we’re racking up wins. Savor it.
