Has the OGC addressed Heritage Foundation's Project 2025? It seems like the MSM have caught onto it.

This was pleasant to read. Redhawk is a good writer. If you are ever targeting messaging to mid-westerners, he's the man for it.

As for substance, "The best we got" is almost the definition of containment. It's frustrating, but there's nothing we can do; we have no means to put pressure on him one way or the other. I get the sense GenX will be taking power shortly after Trump. They might give us breathing room, but it would be good to make their reign as short as possible. I don't believe they'll help any, and it's possible they'll manage to stabilize things in a way that only makes it more difficult to thoroughly fix our problems. Ideally, they'll prove unable to stabilize things while giving us some time and space to grow. We ought to be ready to seize the apogee of their crisis, which could happen as early as the mid 2030s. We have ten years to form a managerial coalition capable of cornering power. To take drastic action, we'll need to be able to harness the discontent of some segment of gen z and alpha.

Someone should be making projections like this, anyway, as fanciful as it inevitably is. We're always short-sighted and reacting to the current thing. The current thing will always have its place, but mid to long-term thinking is lacking, at least outwardly. What I mean is contingency planning for the future, which conditionally is good to publish for the interested public. "If this happened then this would probably happen", "if we wanted to do this, this is how we might go about it", "if this happened, then this is how we could take advantage if we prepare in this way", telegraphing in productive ways a projection of potential willpower. Morgoth loosely did this with his recent article, "The Online Right's Kobayashi Maru Test", gaming the possibilities for our loose network of content creators in the event of a major geopolitical crisis. Food for thought, anyway.

No, the only issue that matters is who betrayed our borders.

The lesser matter is who came when they waved money.

I wish he knew what / who the DEEP STATE is, and wanted to address that problem in some capacity.

Yeah, still waiting for Trump to sound more like Vivek or Milei when it comes to chainsawing the swamp down.

He didn’t prepare himself properly the last time. I don’t think this time would be any better, unless someone does it for him.
