I would take this with a grain of salt.

I think it is important to have very low expectations.

I will say though that this vision is an improvement over Trump’s 2020 “KAG” campaign.

Time:

“Donald Trump thinks he’s identified a crucial mistake of his first term: He was too nice.

We’ve been talking for more than an hour on April 12 at his fever-dream palace in Palm Beach. Aides lurk around the perimeter of a gilded dining room overlooking the manicured lawn. When one nudges me to wrap up the interview, I bring up the many former Cabinet officials who refuse to endorse Trump this time. Some have publicly warned that he poses a danger to the Republic. Why should voters trust you, I ask, when some of the people who observed you most closely do not? … ”

I linked to Scott Greer’s VDARE speech above.

Scott makes the case for a Trump victory in the 2024 election.

It is not the case that I would make. I was blackpilled and exhausted with Blumpf and stayed home in 2020, but I am considering voting for him in 2024. I do hope he wins.

As maddening as the Blumpf presidency was for us (browse the archives), I have remind myself that he ultimately succeeded in bringing down immigration levels. He succeeded in crushing Con, Inc. He succeeded in “moving the Overton Window” and making the Alt-Right or Dissident Right an anachronism. He succeeded in changing the base of the party and purging some of the worst people in Congress. He succeeded in changing the Supreme Court and scored some wins on affirmative action and abortion. The economy was better than it is today. The border was in better shape than it is today. We were not mired in a dangerous proxy war with Russia. Even Israel was not as out of control as it is today.

In my view, Biden’s failures and intentions for a second term – none of which are good – currently outweigh the failures and disappointments of Blumpf’s first term. Trump aims to do all sorts of things which are well-intentioned, but unlikely to happen like mass deportations. I also don’t see how he will accomplish much of anything when Republicans lose the House because of Mike Johnson. The most likely scenario after 2024 is a Trump presidency, a Republican Senate and a Democratic House.

Trump is also a wrecking ball who is destroying the legitimacy of the system. See the FBI and DOJ. The current show trials are radicalizing his supporters. Basically, he is a lightning rod and he is going to be around anyway, so I hope something positive comes out of it. The collapse of the Alt-Right after Charlottesville was also the big blackpilling moment of 2016-2020. I had a lot of energy invested in that, but I am over it now. I have a different view of that period now that emotions have cooled and years have passed. I have no desire to physically insert myself into the inevitable anti-Trump backlash.

I’m still on the fence about voting. I haven’t made any decisions. I need to know who will be running for what office in my state. Trump is going to win Alabama anyway.
