Date: November 11th, 2026 1:39 PM Author: Consuela Why was Trump allowed to win 2024? As I’ve argued previously, there was a great deal of anger among the Trump base for 2020 election steal, and I think the elites were worried about more Luigi Mangione’s in a country armed to the teeth. Under this argument, Trump was allowed to win 2024 under the express condition that he destroy the MAGA movement. Now, after the overwhelming DSA blue wave “victory”, white middle America is extremely demoralized, and given Texas is now blue, we are now officially in a permanent one party state. As such, due to the demoralization the incentives for Mangione-type actions are dramatically reduced even as the overall digital panopticon advances.
Keep in mind that the upper elites are using extremely sophisticated AI far in advance of whatever has been released to the public to plan their strategies.

Date: November 11th, 2026 2:26 PM Author: gibberish (?) Immigration was cooked as a resource grab and we need faux populism to tap down the masses. Plus the pace of international affairs was glacially slow. Venezuela had to be solved, Iran, Africa, and ultimately China. These are all initiatives largely back by both party establishments. I can pretty simply document all of this with first person accounts from eg Elbridge Colby. These 3rd level types are driving policy.

Date: November 11th, 2026 3:14 PM Author: Richard Ames IMO it was because Trump was the only guy who would take the actual steps needed to cement a new order vis a vis AI investment and (attempts at) restructuring global energy flows. I've said it before, but a lot of what he's done in his back-and-forths with Canada is to give Carney air cover to open up more energy production (which is bullish for medium term diesel supply, as is what Trump did in Venezuela). In another reality, Iran fell in 6 weeks and we're entering a 1,000 Year Trumpenreich.
That said, they tried to kill Trump before the election. So my guess is there was some kind of "deal" made when they failed in which he'd do the things they find useful and basically kill off the harder edge of the populist right movement.
Though, I don't think DEI will come back (just look at how blue states voted against trannies in sports, for instance) and I don't think we'll return to Biden-era immigration. Even if any sort of mass deportations are off the table.
Separately, the "Texas is now blue" thing is going to prove to be overblown. I predict Texas swings back to Red statewide in 2030. Especially if a Demonrat wins the White House in 2028. |

Date: November 11th, 2026 3:22 PM Author: Richard Ames I almost wonder if elites looked at Europe's immigration situation and said "lol holy shit we need another approach. lol wow." (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5921333&forum_id=2#50250789) |
