Internal division and in-fighting have rendered the West weak. Whether loyalty to Parties or Individuals, it makes no difference. I see it here so much, and the issues are never dealt with.
Yeah, both blind loyalty to Party or individual politician is a problem, and it's not limited to America, albeit most pronounced here.
But it's also everywhere else in the West - in UK, EU, Canada, etc. - people back their parties often irrationally, just because they thought they must stick to 'their guys'. Like the Lefties backing COVID Pharma fascism and trans surgeries on minors coming from their party, of now the right backing new Middle Eastern war...
I’m in 2 minds about the Middle East. The problem is that all the International Organisations - if not the whole world - have abandoned Israel. We also have the Middle East and its issues here in the West: on our streets and likely sleeper cells. Is Trump right to intervene? I would suspect that the Gulf States and other Arab States have encouraged him to. Neither acting nor non-intervention have worked over the past 40 years: it’s just got worse, spreading across the whole world. Perhaps it’s not fixable, and we must face our fate.
I still believe that to intervene is always worse than not to, as to it's being unfixable... Just stop bombing the Middle East and stop accepting Muslim refugees in droves, and it's fixed.
This is the first thing of yours I've read. I agree with your post. Still, despite the title, I am a little surprised to hear you talk about "our side". Do you really need a side? The U.S. has two parties and you need to pick one? All done and never going to change? Two ideologies? Until you propose a slate of candidates and a nice group of billionaires to pay for them, do you have a side?
That's too, but also not to let DemoNrats win. Not that they are better, they're worse, but the whole system is a fraud, and voting doesn't change shit.
Really? Before US started to invade the Middle East, there was no mass bombing here. It's American military invasions which brought chaos and wars here.
Alex, with all due respect, President Trump could choose to be a total prick and say “fuck you” to the 65+ injunctions leveled against his administration by activist Democrat appointed judges who think they have every right to step in and be POTUS. 65+ injunctions that are more injunctions than all prior presidents going back to Eisenhower and you’re ridiculing Trump with “he hasn’t done much?” WTF? ZERO releases of illegals into the country for the month of May compared to 60,000 in May 2024. That’s not much to you? Obliterating Iran’s three nuclear facilities over the weekend. That’s not much to you? SCOTUS ruled in Trump’s favor to deport criminals to 3rd party countries. That’s a big yawn to you? JFC, Alex, it’s barely 5 months into his second presidency. WTF more do you want? Look at what the man is up against: an evil media that is simply a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party; a corrupt judiciary that’s blocking his every move. And now a Senate Parliamentarian who is a Democrat AND suddenly can dictate to the MAJORITY Republicans? VP Vance has every authority to fire her. Will he? I sure as hell hope so. Should I continue? So please stop with the ‘both parties’ or ‘both sides’ bullshit. The Republicans need to grow a spine and balls and be complete assholes just like the Democrats are. You know this is true.
I said nothing about activist judges, so why do you bring them up?
But I do actually condemn war with Iran which is a direct violation of Trump peace election promises.
Now, as to other promises.. Peace in Ukraine? Nope. Any accountability for COVID and DemoNratic criminals? Nope.
Instead, we have a Big Beautiful Bill which increases state debt drastically and puts Americans into Peter's Thiel AI Palantir digital concentration camp...
But you ignore it all because of what exactly? Trump EO against DEI and trans which can be easily reversed? Alright, SCOTUS banned gender transition for minors which is cool I guess but on the other hand religious conservative homophobia is rising, Matt Walsh openly calls to repeal gay marriage and Hegseth renamed Harvey Milk ship?
I celebrate that Kamala Harris and Prancing Queen Tim Walz got nowhere near 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and never will. But, keep on whining about Trump, Alex. I’m thankful that the country is on the right track, in spite of the hateful Democrats, and thankful that the Dems now have AOC, Crockett and Mandami as their leaders. The Republicans should be plotting a blowout 2026 and 2028.
So I was right then. Your main argument boils down to 'it's better than if Kamala won' and 'evil DemoNrats lost'. I was 100% correct, it's about spite towards other side, not about actual improvements.
He didn't express hate of the Democrats or Harris/Walz. It was an expression of RELIEF FROM FEAR. Things are far from perfect, but they're certainly better than they were for 4 years. I don't like Trump or the RINOs but I am terrified that the next time the globalist left seizes the levels of power, it will be the end of the soul of humanity. Sure, I hate them as well, but the PRIMARY driver is fear, not hate. If I could wall them off and keep them out and keep my family safe and live my life in the kind of country I want to live in, then I wouldn't worry about them, just like I don't worry about whatever Algeria or Russia or whoever is doing. I do worry about what China is doing because they keep interfering and making my country and life considerably worse with the things they're pushing.
I'm not going to say I don't hate them. I do despise them. But that came after they screwed everything up and were a constant threat to me, my family, and the whole of humanity. No, I'm NOT noble enough to love my enemy when my enemy might as well be spawn from the bowels of Hell itself. And I don't apologize for it. THEY never did. But their suffering is only a happy bonus, not the driving reason I get up in the morning. There is something to be said for watching people who wished you would suffer, suffer themselves, and rubbing their stupid faces in it. I'm talking specifically about when they get a big fat karma boomerang: when they vote for something, and then the monster they created eats them alive. I'm not happy trans people are freaking out, but I am happy it'll be harder for them to mutilate children.
As far as what we got with the orange doofus so far, it's not everything, but it's not nothing, either. The NGO scam was exposed, and the left has to rely a lot more on their sugar daddies instead of robbing us with taxes just to use those same taxes to promote their insanity. Aside from a handful of megacity rent-a-riots, "No Kings" was a mostly impotent bunch of cranky old white liberals looking for an easy check to supplement their inflation-eroded Social Security. No "Summer of Love" redux.
"President" Dementia-Corpse Autopen left us a bigger mess to clean up than the one he dropped in his pants in front of the Pope, though. I'm not sure anyone up to the job would want it - or that the traitors in the bureaucracy wouldn't kill them anyway.
Unfortunately the Senate Parliamentarian just took a giant dump all over the few good parts of the Big Beautiful Bill and effectively turned it into another garbage continuing resolution, and Thune has no balls. It'll be either a government shutdown or another RINO-Dem garbage budget.
Fear and hate are in the similar domain of negative emotion. Either way, your vote wasn't really a vote for Trump, but a vote against DemoNrats, and the vote against isn't as great as we had seen in NYC when people elected a Muslim Conmunist out of their fear and hate for Cuomo, even if justified.
Same here. Is your fear and hate or contempt of DemoNrats justified? Sure. But first, acting on emotion isn't the best strategy, second, is Trump really a solution? It's clear now he's not. You mentioned Trump USAID exposure and DOGE, but where are they now? DOGE and Elon had fallen from Trump grace even if they could have kept exposing corruption more, and no one is held accountable, again, no arrests, nothing.
My point is to break free from binary partisanship and to realize that NO side is a solution, it's Uniparty designed to scam us all. Yeah, sometimes when one side swing pendulum too far like DemoNrats now, other side might pretend to care of people and to do some minor things to relieve us, but in essence everything stays the same still, and they're only plunging it into new scam like Palantir or Iranian war.
Lesser evil is still an evil. The correct choice is to reject Uniparty duopoly, self-organize and maybe even create a third party.
Yes, but it has to win in a rigged and corrupt system, otherwise my worst fears become realized and nothing gets fixed and everything gets worse.
If a vote for Ron Paul nets me AOC then I'm just pointlessly stomping my feet. Until the masses see things clearly (and NYC nominating a communist terrorist sympathizer proves they're largely easily manipulated imbeciles who never will understand basic economics or natural rights), 3rd party ain't useful, and ranked choice only nets extra votes and unequal power for the Free Shit Tyrants Brigade.
Iran is a separate issue. I have no way of knowing if this was a real threat or another Colin Powell scam. If it stops here I lean towards real threat. If it becomes Iraq II, Trump just pissed away his presidency. I'm hoping it's just a firm tap on the Ayatollah's shoulder. Unlike the secular Saddam, the rulers of Iran are fanatics who dream of nuclear terrorism. The people are different, many unhappy with the mullahs; I've met some who tell me the youth in the cities and schools have more leeway than we think, but that was 7-10 years ago so my info could be out of date.
Yeah I see your points but again, the fear of the 'other side' winning prevents you from voting for alternative candidates and trying to change things and break free. But you need to realize that things will never change if you keep voting for Uniparty. We're already fucked, and Trump election didn't change it. Alternative ways and self-organization are the only ways of Change.
Yeah, the masses are still stupid and that's a problem. But will they become smarter if the Uniparty will keep duping them with propaganda? I highly doubt it.
With Iran I agree that Iranian Ayatollah is unpopular but the concern is that Iranian people might still rally around it against foreign military aggression. Like you know, their own asshole is better than foreign ones.
I agree with your assessment though. If Iranian shit stops now, most likely it was either something real, or psy op failed and then Trump isn't completely a fraud. If it continues though, it's 200% psy op and Trump is a fraud.
Internal division and in-fighting have rendered the West weak. Whether loyalty to Parties or Individuals, it makes no difference. I see it here so much, and the issues are never dealt with.

How do you stop the bombing in the Middle East and elsewhere. Perhaps one has to face the fact that one can’t, and keep out.
This is the first thing of yours I've read. I agree with your post. Still, despite the title, I am a little surprised to hear you talk about "our side". Do you really need a side? The U.S. has two parties and you need to pick one? All done and never going to change? Two ideologies? Until you propose a slate of candidates and a nice group of billionaires to pay for them, do you have a side?
Nope, I don't need any sides, especially now, but since most of my subscribers are MAGA actually, I had written in this way, but I do agree with you.
For me the decision to vote for Trump is a bit like the old adage:
"...Money isn't everything, it's just that it is a long way ahead of whatever is coming second..."
That's too, but also not to let DemoNrats win. Not that they are better, they're worse, but the whole system is a fraud, and voting doesn't change shit.

I see not many reasons for celebration.
