"All my life, there has always been a choice between a giant douche and a turd sandwich" - South Park
Politics is often a muddy subject; especially Presidential politics, where propped up marionettes echo oversimplified talking points that are usually just red meat for the base sans nutritional value. For once in my life, the choice is clear.
A legitimate Unity Party is something that I once thought could never happen in American politics due to the diametrical nature of the two-party system, but I was wrong. Someone broke the system. It’s not dismantled completely. It still has the fight of a wounded animal backed into a corner; and you better believe it still has an ace up its sleeve. It also, however, has a MAGA-sized hole in its chest, big enough for all of us to fit through. A notable number of prominent former-democrats have joined the ranks of the latest major American political movement, Including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard & Elon Musk.
The major effects that these additions have on the current Republican party include a renewed focus on the health of American citizens, a less interventionalist approach to Foreign Policy, and the whittling down of a bloated and sluggish bureaucratic Leviathan via a new ‘Department of Government Efficiency’(DOGE). Among other things, these new angles and fresh approaches, will revitalize the United states and weed out most of the bad actors that are using our current government as a creepy skinsuit for their nefarious activities.
Meanwhile the democrats have doubled and tripled down on sexual transitions for inmates, migrants, and children, full-term abortions, funding the black hole that is the Ukraine war. They have absolutely purged their Jewish voter base by letting the far-leftist children drag them into supporting HAMAS and yet have the cognitive dissonance to manage to ignore how they treat the LGBT and black people in their society. Many prominent democrats and even democrats in power have called for violence against the Republican Presidential nominee and his voter base. They’ve called his assassination attempt a hoax. The media is complicit in helping them gloss over it like it never happened. They’ve even tried everything they can to throw him in jail and nothing has been able to stick. In fact, every time they throw something underhanded at him, he seems to actually do better in the polls and in the eyes of his supporters and moderates.
One thing no one seemed to want to talk about until very recently, is how badly Kamala and the whole democrat operation is hemorrhaging votes with men, young men particularly. I can offer some insight into this. There’s a huge commotion in gaming currently because gamers found out that “consultancy firms” have been taking government grants comprised of taxpayer dollars to inject identity politics and left-wing activism into gaming through brute force old school mafia extortion. Kim Bel-Air, head of the consultancy firm Sweet Baby Inc is on video giving a conference detailing how to achieve this, and this is where it gets nasty; She directly advocates for using scare tactics to force potential clients into working with them, at the end of the barrel of game journalism. Because of these consultancy firm’s incestuous nature with Video Game journalism websites, they can force a false consensus. Oftentimes they use tired leftist tropes such as lazily slinging around terms like racist, sexist, etc. This forced her god-awful political worldview into some of our favorite games and franchises for years, until gamers found out and put every game that Sweet Baby Inc helped with, onto a list. Not one Sweet Baby Inc game has even been remotely successful since. Gamers represent the younger male voting block, wholesale rejecting far-leftist democrat propaganda. Hollywood has a very similar issue. They have woken up the “normie” to their ham-fisted propaganda and there is a notable backlash forming.
Part One: The Economy
“It’s the economy, stupid.” There's no surprise that the one issue that affects everybody is the main predictor of the upcoming election. In election years where the economy is the main issue, the political party that’s seen as stronger on the economy has won every election going back 60 years.
The current disastrous economy kicked off with our government’s heavy-handed response to COVID-19. Turns out grinding the entire economy to a halt and then attempting to just flip a switch and turn it back on isn’t a very viable concept. Jobs numbers, GDP growth and other indicators have only artificially stabilized, which is troubling at best considering the numbers reported tend to change after the government releases their revised numbers. Gas prices are up, wage-adjusted inflation is ridiculous. 20 different businesses closed a total of 2847 locations, per Business Insider.
Of the two presidential candidates, 42% of America thinks Trump would be better for their personal finances/inflation & 45% think he would be better for the economy as a whole. For Kamala Harris, 38% think she would be better for their personal finances/inflation and only 39% think she would be better for the economy as a whole (BankRate).
The first section of Vice President Harris’ economic plan is all about lowering costs for middle-class families. She announces that she will do this through cutting taxes for 100 million Americans. This is fine and dandy but considering the plan somehow manages to immediately mention Trump and HIS Project 2025 even after he personally denounced the plan multiple times; it almost makes it impossible to trudge through, knowing how casual and common the lies will be. I will further on for the both of us. She proposes a $3,800 child tax credit, which is an idea from the Trump administration and will become a running theme. The very next page clumsily attempts fearmongering by warning readers of a $4000 Trump national sales tax. This makes no sense at all, but I’m personally assuming it’s referring Trump’s plan to tariff goods that would incentivize domestic production; something he has already done already. Kamala proposes a "federal ban on price gouging”. This sounds good but will be more than problematic because there’s no distinct definition of what price-gouging is. This gray-area will most likely lead to what’s closer to price controls, which can lead to a level of economic destruction that we haven’t even conceptualized.
The next section is primarily about lowering energy costs through investing in clean energy initiatives and boasts about oil exports increasing year over year. It conveniently leaves out how our long term meddling in Ukraine destabilized the area which led to a Russian retaliation and war that interrupted Russia’s oil exports to Europe. The through line for all of these policy positions is that they pass the eye test, but not the smell test for people that are well-seasoned in political jargon. The other major factor leading to people’s distrust in Kamala’s economic plan is the fact that she’s been in the White House for 3 years already, leading many to question why she hasn’t forwarded any of these initiatives already.
Trump’s plan for the economy starts by lowering energy costs, which he plans on doing by increasing domestic oil production through fracking. Drill, baby drill. In combination with the previously mentioned tariffs that will incentivize domestic production, and the energy prices coming down alongside that, the resulting migration of companies moving factories and plants stateside will be a huge and longterm addition to the job market and workforce. Another big step in the economic plan is withdrawing from and/or minimizing our presence in these international warfare situations, where we waste 100s of billions of dollars that could be going to American citizens and programs or infrastructure.
Part 2. Border Security
The border has been a mess far before this election cycle, so I won’t place the blame square on one party or the other. The Koch Brothers are old school Republican donors who advocated for an open border for cheap labor, and George Soros is a Democrat donor currently spending millions to advocate for keeping the border open to import a new citizenry, unattached to the American ideals we culturally inherit.
The havoc that this open border wreaks on society is varied in nature and getting markedly worse. In my opinion, the worst issue that this creates is unfettered human trafficking in and out of the country.
Since Joe Biden has taken office 85,000 crossing the border have been unaccounted for" - NewsWeek
Under Trump’s administration 5,000 kids were “separated” from their parents, but it’s unsure if the separations were permanent due to the adults being traffickers or coyotes, and not really their parents. It’s worth noting that the mainstream media could not help itself from mentioning the ‘separating kids from parents’ talking point, but has yet to seriously address the 85,000 kids currently completely missing. There are roughly 200,000 more children that made it into the US but are currently unaccounted for.
It’s not a surprise to anyone reading this that unfettered illegal immigration has a force-multiplier effect on crime in the areas where it occurs. From petty thefts and hit-and-runs, to violent robberies and murderers almost all crime gets worse. There are currently 13,099 Illegal migrants convicted of murder & yet not detained in the US, per FactCheck.org. For the 4 years leading up to 2021, the average number of Illegals arrested for Homicide or murder was THREE people per year. In 2021 this number jumps up 2000% to 60 criminal migrants arrested, and in 2022, 62 illegal killers were arrested. This number falls to 29 in 2023 and 27 in 2024(CBP.gov), but that number is very suspicious considering several major police departments around the US are NOT currently submitting their crime statistics into the national database (The Marshall Project). This includes some of the biggest police departments in the US, including The NYPD, LAPD, Pheonix PD & Suffolk county PD.
Most people know about the unfettered crossings and the predatorial border coyotes, but many have never heard of the CBP One app. The CBP One app serves as a portal for illegal immigrants to access different US government services such as access to asylum, housing and even welfare (CBP.gov). What many don’t know however, is the fact that a sizable chunk of these migrants are transported by and processed at centers run by NGOs that are held to a way lower standard of accountability. These Non-Government-Organizations often send children to known traffickers and have extreme security, requiring whistleblowers to go undercover to find out what’s actually happening in these institutions.
These extra people put pressure on the jobs and housing markets, clog up emergency rooms, delay police response times and more but lately things have furthered into completely new territory. Criminal gang Tren De Aragua has been forming different sets in different major city hubs and have even started taking over apartment complexes in certain areas. This was brought up in the Vice Presidential debate but the moderator was quick to fact check JD Vance’s mentioning of this information. There are several videos of these people going from door-to-door collecting rent from people held captive in these apartment complexes. Other videos show Haitian migrants in Ohio seemingly barbecuing up household pets in several sporadic viral scenarios. The mainstream media has already started backpedaling on this “fact check” (RealClearPolitics).
Last but not least of the topics I’ll touch on relating to the illegal immigration issue is the ridiculous amount of unregulated fentanyl pouring into the country. We currently have around 150,000 overdose deaths per year with about 70-75% of those being synthetic opioids that are most likely fentanyl (cdc.gov). Fentanyl use is become more and more common, and among MOST major US cities, you will come across people nodding in the street or stumbling around zombified. Most of the fentanyl is manufactured in China and sold to coyotes who force people coming over to help them transport the dangerous substance.
The Kamala Harris administration has proposed no new solutions to this problem for her residential campaign and has actively ignored it during her Vice Presidency. She actually has tried multiple ties to codify accepting a certain amount of illegals per month, outlined in the “Bipartisan border bill” that would only allow automatic detention and detaining after 5,000 immigrants a day. This bill also included $60 million in aid to Ukraine and $14 million in aid to Israel. Pretty weird for a border bill, but republicans still got blamed for not blindly going along with it. Good thing there are laws on the books that the federal government could use to mitigate this issue but they were too busy blocking Texas from protecting its own border (The Hill).
Part 3. Foreign Policy
American Foreign policy has been historically pretty awful since the second World War. We’ve meddled overseas in the majority of countries abroad through funding “resistance groups” like the Taliban, to attack the Soviets. We’ve taken the more peaceful approach through installing politicians and subverting their governments through coups and soft-power grabs. When all else has failed, we’ve straight up assassinated world leaders, like Gaddafi. We do these things to maintain cultural hegemony through most of the Western world by offering these countries vast amounts of US Dollars to use for oil procurement and economic stimulation. With these American dollars supporting so many economies around the world, the countries’ dependent on them are effectively used almost as vassal states; willing to do the bidding of the US to the chagrin its own citizenry.
Currently we’re dealing with rising tensions in the middle east with the Israel/Palestine conflict, with world leaders currently positioning themselves on either side. Antony Blinken just announced another $135 million in aid to the Palestinians following yet another Israeli bombing campaign. The week before this, the US threatened to cut funding to Israel if the aid to the Palestinians kept not making it to Gaza. The Russia/Ukraine war is getting worse, with The Moscow Times reporting that the North Koreans currently sending 1,500 special forces in to support Russia. BBC Reports that China “punished” Taiwan by initiating war drills where they surrounded the island with 34 naval vessels and 125 aircraft. At least that’s what Taiwan was able to detect on their radars.
The current administration has only seemingly fanned the flames of these escalating conflicts. We’ve armed both sides of the war in the middle east, whether directly or indirectly and have also been accused by Russia of directly aiding the Ukrainians though NATO. BRICS, an intergovernmental organization comprising of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia & the UAE just held a summit in Russia to discuss their future plans as a show of solidarity against the colloquial “West”. Call me crazy, but I don’t think the administration that negotiated a WNBA player in exchange for an arms dealer known as the “Merchant of Death” can sit at the table across from Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin and get anything productive done. In the years preceding the current administration, things weren’t perfect, but we maintained relative peace and for the first time during my lifetime didn’t start any NEW wars. World leaders respected us as a country and many moved accordingly, waiting for approval or agreement from the US before making major disruptive political moves.
With the current campaign for Kamala doing seemingly worse by the day, some conservatives fear that the military industrial complex and its supporters will force things to come to a head sooner than later, before Donald Trump can get in and work to bring us to the levels of peace from 4 years ago. Places like Fortitude Ranch are recommending that people spend Election Day away from large population centers. Many political commentators are raising concerns over possible riot-style violence, with many going far enough as to warn of a potential civil war. With multiple inflection points, it’s on us as citizens to be paying attention to the government manipulation and information obfuscation that usually occurs before elections.
Part 4. Domestic Policy
Domestic policy in the US has reached a level of almost cartoonish incompetence on many levels over the past few years. Domestic relief efforts for several natural disasters and manmade accidents have been halfhearted at best, and almost criminally negligent at worst. East Palestine and Maui are still currently devastated, while parts of North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida are currently suffering from not only the hurricanes AND from the government response.
After the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio that caused a terrible chemical spill affecting thousands, the people were awarded $600 million, which they deemed insufficient because it wouldn’t take into account long term health issues. The Department of Justice’s response to this has been that they have “carefully reviewed the 123 comments received and concluded that the points presented therein do not warrant the withdrawal or rejection of the proposed settlement”, as reported by WFMJ. The response to the deadly wildfires in Maui was so bad that the Emergency Chief resigned amidst the controversies. In the wake of the response efforts US Rep. Jill Tokuda questioned FEMA’s Region 9 administrator about the issue of the relief efforts displacing long-term Maui renters, who were kicked out so that landlords could take advantage of the higher rent prices, calling it “predatory behavior”. ABC News reported that a SpaceX engineer claimed that FEMA was actively blocking shipments and goods amid Hurricane Helene response efforts. Pete Buttigieg denies this, but multiple people on the ground corroborated the initial claims.
The gun safety issue is still being used as a talking point amongst democrats, who seem to be unwilling or unable to more deeply question the nature of the shootings that take place in this country. With the vast majority of the shootings being gang-related, making the guns illegal wouldn’t actually affect most of the violence. Instead, it would only serve to make it more difficult for the law-abiding citizen to be able to adequately defend himself how he sees fit. This leads to lawless hellscapes like New York or Los Angeles, where people who defend themselves and others from predators and criminals get MORE jail time and harsher punishments than the criminals and predators. Since the George Floyd riots and lootings during the “Summer of Love”, street takeovers have been common in major cities all across America. During these seemingly spontaneous events, dozens to hundreds of reckless youth flock to the streets and take over an intersection, often doing donuts in stolen cars and even shooting guns into the air sometimes. Rapes, murders, violent crime are all up since 2019 and the candidate currently part of the administration overseeing all of the chaos, is running on more “bail reform" and was formerly part of the original “Defund the police” movement.In fact, it’s almost silly to see her pretend to run on being “tough on crime”, knowing she was responsible for bailing out the rioters from the Summer of Love in 2020, per reporting from the NY Post.
What we need as a country boils down to a very simple solution. The people of the United States need less lofty ideals aimed at politically virtue signaling to a specific base of people, and more common-sense approaches, based on merit and results. We don’t need forced Inclusion/Diversity narrative, we need merit-based school curriculums and workforce hiring practices. We don’t need “equity”, where some arbitrary shadowy figure gets to decide who deserves more and who deserves less, based on historical events no one was alive for. We need old-fashioned American equality. Historically, we do damned good with that.
