I don't make a lot of posts here, but I think there's something critical right now to acknowledge...we have to learn to take a loss, and learn from it.
There's this weird tendency to say, "oh, we didn't win the NYC/NJ governor's race because sometimes you have to show them".
What were seeing now is that younger people 18-30 voted disproportionately for Democrats in every single election this cycle. Not just the ones you followed.
The one big common theme was the economy, which we should own but aren't. Hiring is down for people entering the market, and affordability for housing or groceries (outside of eggs) is going the wrong way.
Don't ignore what people are trying to tell you. We have a whole year to change these facts. But please don't just ignore it out of pride.
I've been trying to imagine what Q could do that would last for 500 years and still seem incredible.
Expose Hollywood? No was that done multiple times in the 1920s and 30s, but people came back because humans want stories and we will always prefer American English stories compared to those overseas, in America (although India and South Korea are clearly making movies targeted at our market). Expose politicians? France did that in the 1800s, and let's be honest it only invited a stream of new bad ideas. Expose the monetary system? Everyone knows the stories of how banking was formed and the Tulip craze and the Dutch East India Company and how they exposed bankers. Maybe the education or healthcare system? Those are both less than 100 years old and they will always trend for healthcare and education for all.
I think the only thing that would matter beyond any of this is creating a permanent middle class. The boomers here want a restoration of their culture but honestly no one cares about that because they'll be long dead before it matters and it's not like the silent generation viewed them as much nicknaming them the "me" generation. Their Epstein list version is full of people the average American no longer knows or cares about. Like wtf even cares about Akon, or can remember even one of his songs? Jay Z had his last hit 20 years ago and I'm in my 40s now.
Let's just be realistic about what this movement is really trying to do. Hang every celebrity and politician and 100 people who don't care like MTG and Boebert will fill in. Half this community is fighting against Democrats, the other half is fighting against eventual death.
