Our expectations were way too high so it's harder to see how big it was. But let's walk down the logical brick road tonight.
Did you know Trump's speech was aired almost in its entirety on CNN, CSPAN and Fox News? Who watches those networks? Not us. We don't trust the MSM.
So Trump has new eyeballs on him. What was he supposed to do? Come out in loud, aggressive fashion in front of D's who were already brainwashed to believe Trump was a madman?
Instead he comes out calm, collected, thoughtful, nonthreatening in ANY way. This is a marketing tactic called "pattern interruption." People expect to see you perform one way so they already have preset rebuttals for what they THINK you're going to do.
But you come out a completely DIFFERENT way and confuse them...they didn't "game plan" for that. So instead of Trump looking like a raging maniac that the MSM pushed to their sheep, Trump looks shockingly sane.
And guess what? He spoke for a whole hour and hasn't stuttered and stumbled once. No slurred speech. No forgotten thoughts or sentences that started in one way and ended up no where.
This is important...because the people who watch the MSM are used to seeing 2 years of dementia. Now they circle back to Trump for the first time in probably 2 years and hear his voice very differently.
Since CNN was watching, no mention of election fraud. Did Trump sell out? No. He has to keep the cameras rolling. He mentions stolen elections, and the cameras go off, the new people don't hear the rest of Trumps words.
And what's Trump saying? He's saying the SAME THING he said and warned them about on the campaign trail. Back then they thought he was lying...now they know he was always telling the truth.
He just won a larger audience of voters now. But this is only the beginning...
I like this. It's hopeful.
hopium based off pure logic. the best kind of hopium
That type of hopium is illegal in like 14 countries
and a marriage proposal in 17 others.
District of Corruption, Commiefornia, and?
Not in Hopiumstan where corn pops right on the husk and every citizen wakes to an ever so slight dusting of Tang on all corners of the land.
Oh boy, doomers aren't going to like this....
Doomers don't like anything short of daily hangings. They are the equivalent of the lefties on Twitter screaming "I'm leaving" while knowing they'll thirst for a hit of hopium in a couple of days. So they return, inject hopium directly into their scrotum then freak out when they realize their next scrotum hopium hit has to be stronger than the last. It's a losing proposition.
They should set goals on a long time-line and don't set them lofty and celebrate the surprises as a bonus. Most of all stay away from hopium peddlers.
I would updoot this, but it needs to stay at 45!

Wants us to join him "in the streets" rioting like his ANTIFA bros.
If you didn't have fallacy arguments, you'd have none at all.
I agree. This theory runs in tandem with my own posted in a thread below yours. CNN etc. wouldn't have aired the entire event unless they were convinced that he was going to say something "crazy" which would then segue into all their prepared talking points. It backfired tremendously. He's been doing this same thing since the start.
And think of the optics. People stressed out, burnt out, poor and desperate. Reconsidering the whole Biden left-wing thing.
What do they see? A room full of golden chairs that could be theirs. A room full of almost stereotypical wealth and luxury that he's dangling in front of them.
Inflation was considered "the biggest issue", as the Leftwing pundits cried because nobody mentioned "democracy" as an issue.
Now as they try to send even more money to Ukraine, again, here's President Trump, a symbol of wealth and success, saying "you can have golden chairs too, America".
I said the same thing in another thread. He wasn't speaking to us last night. He was speaking to all the newbies that have been rudely awakened by Biden's shit show.
Come to think of it. My liberal son watched it too. That is one thing I would never have guessed. He even texted me about it. That may have opened up some communication between us.... Unless I blow it by telling him what I think of democrats......(just kidding, I'll be gentle if it happens...)
The normie that walked in the room last evening as I was watching thought POTUS Trump was calm, cool and collected...not like the lying media always portray him as a "lunatic" who is "unhinged".
The tone of the speech last evening had an effect on many as showing him as a sane, reasonable person because many were expecting something different...this is what they've been conditioned to think.
I'm curious to hear what Bush and the Kenyan are going to say now???
this exactly. he clearly had the DS shaking
Literally shaking
Nervous laughs though.
They were probably going to talk about "misinformation" but Trump blew that for them. He did not give them any ammunition.
I know, if they go through with it, they will look a little foolish IMHO. And if they cancel.... ditto. heh heh.
Now it will be hard for them to justify high inflation, increased crime, and money laundering (Ukraine-FTX).
The only thing I heard that was a huge exaggeration was that turkeys would cost 3 to 4 times as much this year. Perhaps he meant to say 30 to 40 percent more (which is probably still an exaggeration).
I caught that too. I wonder if he meant something by that remark (like turkey politicians).
He's such a delightful troll. I'm sure that's what he meant.
Yeah, Aldi's is/was having an amazing sale. Just over $1/lb.
I just got back from a Hannaford's store here in NY, and they had turkeys (I think frozen) for $1/pound.
Bush set to ask for continued $$ support for Ukraine. Obummsy to discuss our “democrac” and the dangers of misinformation.
Probably cancel due to weather
I agree with this.. I wanted to see Trump come out and take it all down. Was gonna be so pissed if it was just an announcement to run but a few minutes into it I realized this shit isn’t happening on my timeline.. this is way bigger than what I want. He killed the speech, talked about not being at the precipice and talked about uniting people under success.. was pretty well what needed to be done. Thought it was a good tone and serious enough, not just really riffing. Still a little disappointing but I figure there are so many more people that need to be brought in on the truth of what’s going on.. and it must be the time to make them understand.. rather than the time for punishment. Only thing I’m not sure about is.. how the fuck do we get a fair election because what I’m seeing at midterms makes me feel like it doesn’t matter how many people we get on our side when you can make up the difference with fraud. Definitely not ready to give up, still behind GEOTUS for another campaign. Atleast it’ll be fun watching.
Personally i dont think 2024 will be like any other election. trump has emphasised taking power away from washington and giving it to the people. just take a look at brazil rn, its a sea of protestors. its gonna be the people who have to decide what we want, not dominion machines
You can make a difference now at the local, district and state level. The state legislatures are the ones that really let us down in 2020 and most of them have done nothing to fix election laws. Go to your state legislators - do it now because they'll be looking at what bills they'll introduce right now - and push them to sponsor bills fixing this mess. Take a list of what needs to be fixed. Take a few compatriots with you. Let them know there are millions of us out here who aren't going to tolerate continued inaction on voter fraud. Promise them you and your friends will come and testify before committees in favor of those bills. You'll be surprised how effective that can be.
I live in a very blue state and I have recently been contacted by an Election Integrity group. I was told that after I was vetted (they are scrutinizing people), they will contact me so I can join with like-minded people in my local area. These types of groups are forming in many states..
Make sure you vet them as well. Remember all the shenanigans FBI was up to before Jan. 6. But, if it is legit, that's fantastic! It would really help when lobbying your state legislature to have an organized group to lobby for new laws.
Yes, I plan on vetting them. It's good to be paranoid these days. Kek
It's not paranoia when they really are after you.
Good post!
Another thing I want to mention is- he got the attention of a wider audience with all the hype. That was the point. Then he talks about how bad things are going to get. Very somber-dead serious. This was not for us. This was for everybody else sitting on their butts complaining about inflation and corruption but continuing not to bother to vote or vote Democrat because they always have. I know so many people who didn’t vote this midterm election. “Nah, waste of time” they say. How many do you know? I know a bunch of diehard Dems as well. Miserable people but what will it take for them to wake up? Personal pain and suffering. When you can’t afford food.... when gas is too high to go anywhere, when you realize you’ve lost all that equity in your home, when there are rolling blackouts, when your stupid, expensive EV is just sitting there as you stress over the electric bill and can’t find a place to charge that isn’t 2-3 hrs long and so on. This was overhyped for a reason. His tone was serious for a reason. Wake up.
Somber was the very word I used to describe the tone of the speech.
I agree. It looks like Trump is starting a "redeemed hero" narrative for the normies. There was a lot in his speech about unity. He said that they (normies) haven't seen how bad of a spot we're in yet, but they soon will. He also said that elections will be different by the time we get to 2024. He also said some ominous things about the "invasion" which leads me to think "land invasion" (which would explain why Arizona is so important to keep under DS control especially since it looks like Abbott is now shoring up border defense in Texas). Plus we're now seeing moves toward CBDC. Personally, I think the precipice is coming and it will be a uniting period of time. And a new redeemed Trump will be soaking up a lot of unlikely new supporters.
Another thought: while Trump reaches out to new supporters on the Left his tone will have to change and the DS is going to use that to try to throw off his base (as we have already seen). Personally, I won't be falling for that.
And the comment re Stopping Biden in 2020 for another 4 years. Think that was 'game on' quiet acceptance of challenge not a mis-speak
Very well stated. Thank you!
To beat the enemy you must think like the enemy. Not only true in child rearing but also in politics. I think Trump’s strategy is on steroids! He knows what he’s doing and he knows how to do it. Have faith…..God wins!
I like this take because it offers an explanation for the performance we just witnessed. I suppose we are so used to seeing "Trump Rally" Trump, that we forgot he has to tone it down sometimes as well.
Doesn't the fact that he is officially running offer him some protection from lawsuits now? Not that I worry about him being convicted, but just having to go through the process until either the election is over or he is out of office...
you're correct. it was barr's excuse so that he didn't have to go after biden
It sure does. My normie coworkers are saying that's WHY he's running. I just set back, and think, oh you just wait. You just wait. You'll see.
Yup, every left wing hit piece use words like "raged" "whined" "had a temper tantrum" or whatever extreme, out of whack description of the man. "Trump raged over the news that.." when in reality ->Trump was disappointed over or simply disagreed with, the news. What else are people in closed MsM bubbles going to naturally thingk of the man, with all that bs being pushed at them daily? I am glad he cut out the hyper for this one.
This is super logical take.
We're already awake.
Very good take on this. Smart.
I like this take too.
Exactly right, well put. That is not to say that there aren't things going on in the background...
Exactly! Look here at Trump running (MSM 24/7) not there 👉 mil. hopefully putting the squeeze on additional players !
I'm liking the wave you're on with this. I posted my own thoughts about it if you or any others care to read.
Relevant excerpt: Where is the Republican machine fighting back against all the races that were stolen so egregiously? Where are they on this? Oh that's right - they are busy anointing themselves with new fucking titles and writing up new opaque "Agendas" and "Promises" to have as a graphic during their next 3 minutes on Laura Ingraham and the elections aren't even over yet. FOX was so very happy to interview all those grassroots 'citizen candidates' and pay lip service to their agendas, but when they lose under questionable circumstances, when the media's own polling skews wildly and goes off the edge of the paper, the turnouts and reporting are a shitshow mess, when all signs and expectations are dashed and its seemingly inconceivable, how about then?
Tough Luck, is their answer. We'll get 'em next time! What a crock of shit, what complete and total phonies.
Even Zeldin, who FOX's own employees had vested interest in seeing elected (for hopes of safer walks through the parking deck at least) was given an emotional shoulder shrug and Aw Shucks. They suddenly morphed into impartial observers after all the Rah-Rah and wholesale endorsements of hopefuls who were outright robbed. No interest in why their polling and other measurables had the bottom drop out... for some reason this puzzled me MORE than even 2020.
Not to go too far about this but with 2020 I think the split with Trump was inevitable and I could see it coming. For all the hating on them some of their anchors (like Maria & Lou) did speak up until the Dominion lawsuits and the 'Verboten One' forced the legal team on-air. 🤣
This go-round I was curious how they'd play things, and the mood on 'election d____ers' softened up and people like Lake and Mastriano got facetime. The polling and on-brand narrative had me fooled; I thought that removed of Trump they might have a little courage and call it out... disappointing but predictable. I think this one is going to actually hurt MURDOCH AND TALENTED MR. RIPLEY (aka Paul Ryan) worse than the last time, especially as the Maricopa situation continues to develop. Let's put it this way: there's a REASON Tucker hasn't been hosting the past couple nights and it ISN'T THE 6TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE SHOW. How laughable.
So all that rambling to get back to Trump and how Murdoch told him before the announcement tonight he is more or less OUT. You see we've got a guy already, and he SURFED a Big Red Wave without any help from you! In fact, he's the only WaveRider in America; all the other hopefuls were SUNK BY YOU, DONALD! Do we see yet what this midterm really was? Both parties coming together to crush us. 100 million votes strong, we've grown far too powerful to be handled by Trump. They need to get the blindfold back on, calm us down, and return to business as usual.
Trump's win and 2016-2020 was more like an 'episode' for the Republican establishment and they want to close the book on it and get back to the way things were just as much or MORE than every Democrat. The reality that showed themselves in this midterm, which went 6 million to Republicans in terms of popular vote, is that they are in a new phase of the fight. The country is now at least 80-20 Republican and all the action and enthusiasm is centered here. They must use the Republican party to beat MAGA Now! There is no hope for the Dem agenda to do it anymore.
So thinking about this and in context with your thoughts I formulated a just so crazy it might work thought:
What if Trump now shifts gears, and in the calm measured style he gives off here, proceeds to TRY AND COURT DEMOCRAT VOTERS!?!
Think here: it makes some sense. There are LOTS of confused former Dems right now, who voted Republican for the first time ever this midterm or are just feeling let down by the party and morally disagree with their social agenda. The trans agenda and children's issues have separated many people who were otherwise completely in sync with the Democratic party line. It is such a powerful and all consuming topic that it completely severs the relationship with voting for any Democrat candidate who isn't explicitly against those topics.
Trump was always a "New York Democrat" himself and I think he can push some social welfare policies to the left when he comes forward with a platform. Expanding healthcare access or lowering costs without fully socializing, maybe even some form of limited, paid-for UBI program funded by a big tech data tax like Yang wanted. It's not completely insane or against our philosophy.
Republicans are going to be the ones on the attack against Trump next so how much of a mindfuck would it be to them when he starts picking up large swaths of Dem voters who have no one to pick from their own party, but dont have a big pro-choice sentiment either? If he starts picking up that kind of broad support while he jets to the lead for Republican primary nomination he would be unstoppable, no cheat would be enough.
Not to disparage you or OP, you both have good insight. I will push back a little on your 'no cheat would be enough' though.

If history shows us anything we know people will accept a huge lie when it's said often enough. We are seeing the culmination of the Earth's history today when we look at advanced propaganda techniques. The rabid TDS leftists are using the V.I. Lenin tactics daily - 'call your enemies what you are and tell the exact opposite of the truth' -- and it's working. Just the other night I was at a friend's discussing the FTX scam and mentioned how it was being used to launder money for Biden. She got super uneasy and started stammering about how trump did the same thing with Russia. No basis in reality. Her comment was like an amalgamation of 8 different fake news stories regarding trump and Russia.
These people are threatened their world view is collapsing but to them any amount of democrat lies and cheating is acceptable because it's been hammered into their head that Trump is an existential threat to humanity itself.
Trump knows Democrats but now he knows RINOs.
Very true, the RINOs are the expert backstabbers of all the political groups. Makes sense if you think about it. Their entire job is to say things and draw up policies that seem, on the surface like they make good common sense. Then they find a way to screw them up somehow. Same thing with voters. They do Academy Award level acting crossing swords with the Democrats and OH NO! SLAIN AGAIN! AVENGE ME ROMEO! Hahaha it's like watching the same play over and over. They just find new ways to trick us into thinking they wont die this time.
Oh yeah - and they are being exposed.
Bigly. Trump undoubtedly knew that this was going to be a letdown for some of us - especially right in the midst of all the blatant theft going on, it DOES feel like a poor response. Here's the thing, though. He has to play the game to win it.
The best thing for the country, as we've been told time and again, is to play this all out with minimal upheaval. That shit is for the Dems, as we learned from 2016-2020. I think all that chaos has made some of us feel almost uncomfortable now when more events are still playing out, but behind the curtain.
Trump has to be involved in politics from a front facing, optics standpoint in order for him to 'do something about it' to show the public square. Even if he had all the power and chips behind closed doors right now, they have to bring him back in the arena.
What should he do? Show people pictures of Hilldawg eating babies with Joy Behar? Do you realize what kind of s shitstorm that would be? Lol. The whole idea is NOT to scramble people's brains more than they have to.
Right now we are playing 'elephant in the room's with them. Did you notice how Trump was a little more reserved and even spoke softer than normal? It's all carefully calculated. To me this means he is going to radio silence, and something will happen with Maricopa that's big. Then when the stupid MSM BLURTS IT OUT and goes right to Trump to accuse him of election denial junk and leading erections they will sound like a bunch of ridiculous freaks trying to crucify him and put words in his mouth again.
Maybe there's a new election, maybe they rule for Lake, maybe something else. Hell, it could get big and go to SCOTUS - maybe change elections and what is tolerable for ALL states going forward - we dont know.
My ideal outcome would be if Kari Lake shows the fraud on social media and whatever amount of TV news she can get but is STILL SOMEHOW denied. Half of Arizona is already going batshit about this, what happens when they certify Hobbs for real and she comes to the podium as Governor? She is gonna get real comfy in that basement! She will be a walking pariah and a protest will be outside every day.
And after that Lake can join DJT on the national ticket as his VP! Can you imagine how UNREAL AND POWERFUL that would be? Trump and Kari Lake running together?? They would steamroll ANYTHING IN THEIR PATH. If they STEAL THAT ONE GET READY FOR OPEN REBELLION BY THE GREATER POPULATION.
Sorry, just wanted to dream a little.
Wow
This should be the only comment on here today. Period. Dang! You NAILED IT
Your post mirrors my own thoughts over the last 12 hours. There was a lot of expectations projected about what his speech was going to be about and many people were sorely disappointed when it was not what they had built up in their heads over the last few days leading up to last night actual speech.
I got a fresh wind in my sails over this and am hoping and praying that his demeanor and words have planted seeds in the hearts and minds of all those that have been brainwashed by the MSM to hate Trump without really forming an independent opinion.
In the end, I do not believe it is government going to save us, "White Hat" or not. Our Founding Fathers were very clear about the nature of government left unchecked by The people. The people are the only hope to save our Republic. Whether through the voting booth or through more direct means, it is The People who will have to save the Republic.
Perhaps now more of the blind will be able to see the truth.
I like this a lot. Similar to most, I was also frustrated last night. Posts like this is exactly why I come here. Clear, concise and logical.
Agreed. Many, many people left to reach. We cannot topple a tyrannical regime without a good chunk of ‘useful idiots’ coming to terms with the fact that their shepherds are wolves. They need to get angry and tired too.
I have a lot of other, very different thoughts about the announcement, but you make excellent points -- and more than one thing can be true at a time.
Excellent points! A sane post in the midst of some insanity here. Thank you.
You make some very good points. I was actually thinking along these lines a bit, myself. My only concern was, would the normies, would the leftists actually watch him? I pray they did because I agree, his tone was calm and his message was essentially - I did all these great things vs the dems have been a disaster. So for the first time I'm hoping the people who don't seem to know how to live without sitting in front of a television actually sat in front of their televisions and watched. Thanks for the post.
Great post ! Just the fact that Trump is running again will set forth non stop coverage on him..
Nice analysis. Thanks for taking the time.
I agree, this had a different feel, different rythym. Also, the HABBENING seems to be upon us, check out this post!.. https://greatawakening.win/p/16ZE01Wfxo/uh-guys-a-supreme-court-case-reg/c/
And how did O and W's mis-information coffee hour go? No Trump quotes about fraud? Was Starbucks packed?
I thought W's is tonight and O's is tomorrow night? Internet searching brings up nothing except "Trump's speech was so dull Fox and CNN cut it off" and "Trump's speech fact checked, 20 things wrong".
🙄
This is a superb post. You should offer to be Trumps next Vice President.
this made me laugh. thanks
I am very curious who he will choose for Vice President this time.
Me too!
Very interesting comments ..the most logical explanation I have heard..thank you
Good points. Thank you for posting something with rational hope in it.
It felt like a gut punch when I heard Trump was going to announce his candidacy for 2024. I didn't even watch the speech because the prospect of waiting 2 more years for some kind of action just makes me weary.
I'm not ready to pack it in, in spite of my feelings. I have made my decisions, and I will stick to them.
This was the grounding post we all needed. Thank You.
Very hopeful indeed …. Well thought - Ty
And the fact that he was on those channels for so long is just another fact proving patriots are in control. Remember how easy they cast aside the tea party? Same thing would have happened to Trump unless the controls of power have changed hands
I have seen the videos of the leftists turning to Trump doing their own research I follow this s*** on YouTube Lou Valentino check him out check his video out from last night my God talk about a good video
Spot on, OP.
We've been awake by ourselves for so long that we forget that there must be others around us who must also awaken. This is a great take. Thank you for putting it into perspective.
