I want everyone to read this very carefully because it's exactly correct
Young people will not be "turned off" by the extreme left
They will see a strong horse vs a weak horse and will follow the strong horse

You have to think in caveman terms. These debates are two tribes recruiting allies. TPUSA’s argument is “The other tribe is mean.” The other tribe’s argument is “We outnumber them. We’re organizing to kill them. We tell them to their face and they do nothing.” Who’d you join?
Why are the TPUSA guys still debating? Every “debate” clip I see from them now is just:
> “You should not kill me.”
> “Ok but we’re going to.”

There was once a shepherd who found a wolf caught in a snare at the edge of his pasture.
The wolf begged to be freed.
“I was hungry,” it said. “That is all. Spare me, and I will remember your mercy!”
The shepherd cut the rope.
The next night, three lambs were gone.
Again the shepherd found the wolf. Again it pleaded. Again the shepherd convinced himself that mercy was proof of his goodness.
By winter, half the flock was dead.
An old farmer finally asked him, “Why do you keep freeing it?”
The shepherd answered, “Because I refuse to become cruel.”
The farmer looked at the empty field and said, “Then understand what you have done. You were not merciful to the wolf. You were cruel to everything that trusted you to keep them safe.”
That’s the lesson.
Mercy without judgment isn’t virtue. When someone openly intends to destroy what has been entrusted to you, endless forgiveness doesn’t make you righteous. It makes everyone behind you pay for your vanity.
As an American, I can’t decide whether to vote for the “you don’t love Americans enough” party or the “you don’t hate Americans enough” party, can someone please help me choose??
New Gallup poll asks "which values the country most needs today?"
Out of a list of 12 values, Republicans put "patriotism" #1, for Dems it ranks dead last - by a lot.
Dems say "equality" is most needed, Republicans rank it 11th out of 12.

Alexander Hamilton fought anti-automation and pro-import arguments in the 1700s that hardly differ from the modern day.
You have to understand that for the average person “history” began with WW2 and anything before that is more like fantasy lore fanfic that they’re not quite sure is canon.

The world map is inaccurate. There are no countries between Egypt and Libya, they share a border.

The playbook will go something like this: 1) win back the House and Senate, and hopefully the Presidency in 2028; (2) admit DC and Puerto Rico as states, which doesn’t need a constitutional amendment, to gain 4 new Senate seats and cement control; (3) pack the Court, which only requires a change to the Judiciary Act of 1869, not a constitutional amendment; (4) eliminate the electoral college, which is unconstitutional, but not when you have a rigged court that finds the ‘loophole’; (5) flood the country with pliant migrants, swamp the natives, and hold power indefinitely.

It’s almost adorable how Elon thinks he can just walk away from politics now. They already blame him for 4M deaths. The Rubicon was 10 rivers back.
Elon Musk admits he got carried away working with Donald Trump and stayed in politics for too long.
MUSK: "I think I had it going on for too long. A lot of people might disagree with me. I think it was important to elect President Trump to sort of steer things more in the direction of a free market economy, have less bureaucracy ideally. In my sort of simple political platform of wanting safe cities, secure borders, aspirationally sensible spending, you know, the basics, I thought Trump would be better than Kamala basically. But what I should have done, I think, was be more in the background. It was interesting to sort of go around with President Trump and go on Marine One and Air Force One and all that sort of stuff."
ISAACSON: "But was that too seductive in a way?"
MUSK: "It was a little bit. It was kind of cool because I'm just there in the Oval Office while all these big momentous decisions are being made and sometimes having some impact on what's being done. But I think I should have been more in the background and probably only had it last for a month or two because at that point you've seen most of what there is to see within a month or two."
ISAACSON: "You seem to get a bit too intoxicated by it in a way with the chainsaws and all that."
MUSK: "I think that's true. I got carried away basically. I ended up leaving I guess sometime in May."
ISAACSON: "That was a weird weekend."
MUSK: "Yeah, it was."
Walter Isaacson: "Tell me about it."
MUSK: "No, let's not dig up the... let's let sleeping dogs lie or whatever. Let's not put a spade down in the backyard type of thing. You never know what you're going to find. But anyway, the point is I should have gone back and focused on AI a little sooner than I did."
