You know, it started as a hunch and then I was kind of tracking it, but just by memory, and over the years those interrupted news cycles have all sort of blended together. Obviously I don’t know exactly what Trump was thinking but this is my theory. One example though was the Mika facelift tweet. I don’t remember specifically what anti-white narrative they were gearing up for back then, but I remember the day before that tweet I could sense it was starting up and turning into a “thing” in the media, because I remember feeling exhausted, like, “Ah fuck, here comes three weeks of White Man Bad.” Then he launched the Mika tweet and it even kind of shocked me in its harshness, and suddenly I remember that looming sense of anti-whiteness somehow just dissipated. That was the first time I really thought Trump might be up to something with his mean tweets and then I started watching for the pattern. It’s a difficult thing to prove though because how do you prove that a news cycle was deflated and didn’t happen? It’s kind of an instinct thing. You start to get a feel for where the media is about to go, since they kind of loop through the same seven or so narratives like clockwork. Like once the gun control narrative burns out they go to the race narrative and when that burns out they go to sexism, etc. They like to space their narratives out to try to keep them fresh.
Dasting. Any examples? Would be good for the crowd who say “Trump didn’t do enough for whites”
