Well, in practical terms (net effect) what does it mean to say "Ron DeSanctimonious and his Brigade of paid shills and political operatives are my adversaries"?
Firstly, if it IS kayfabe, then the paid shills plus the Con Inc who shill for Rob are not in on it, and are being exposed anyway.
Secondly, if it is Kayfabe, would this mean that you do anything substantially different? Whether the ROb show is kayfabe or not, I don't see how that would change my unequivocal support for DJT. Even thinking (or accepting) that the Rob show is kayfabe doesn't mean I start saying Robs a great guy, he's good, maybe I'll even vote for him.
So when you say "are my adversaries" doesn't that simply mean only that in practical terms, you adopt a negative emotional attachment to Rob et al? Does this do anything to advance DJTs agenda, maga agenda? I don't see how so.
If there is one important point to analysing and attempting to evaluate the reality behind the surface layer (i.e. is this kayfabe or not kayfabe?), it's the learning to remain detached from the narrative spins. Such a lack of attachment doesn't have a negative impact on supporting DJT etc, but rather, has a potential positive impact because if you can encourage others to adopt the same approach, more people defect from the narratives and start to think for themselves, instead of following the programming.
However, if by "are my adversaries" you mean, not in an emotional way, but rather, I'm going to play along with DJT's narratives about DeSantis, and support his efforts and messaging in this area, then I think that's a reasonable choice.
It's only adopting a negative emotional attachment that I think would be unhelpful and eventually less than constructive. They call their podcast 'defected' but I think that 'detachment' is an important part of accomplishing disengagement from the narrative propaganda. One does not need to adopt an negative animosity towards DeSantis in order to support and boost DJT, right?
Ultimately, however, whatever the case, personally, I think one has to take clear stock of the fact that DJT is using his rhetoric and spinning his narratives for a specific, targeted purpose. Whatever the reality behind the scenes, I don't think we should be taking those narratives and rhetoric simply at face value, simply because I don't believe for a second that Trump means them at face value. There is always more to it, regardless of whether DeSantis is what DJT portrays him as or not.
Kayfabe is real.
But not in all cases.
Time will tell. I'm willing to see what happens.
In the meantime, I'm comfy letting God be my protector and letting President Trump be my ships captain during these psywar storms.
Consequently, until President Trump says otherwise, Ron DeSanctimonious and his Brigade of paid shills and political operatives are my adversaries.
