American Politics Make No Sense Anymore

You seem to be watching every political faction eating itself alive in real time right now.Right, you've got Trumpistan dealing with a de facto civil war for almost a year now, and it actually might be resulting in a real split.A sizable faction wants to split off and run a third -party candidate in the next presidential election, and their pick is Tucker Carlson.And while normally running third parties is a recipe for disaster, since just getting the funding's a pain, this is Carlson who gets a lot of love from former Trumpers, billionaire bros, and that's not even considering maybe his bro Putin.Though, of course, he'd never take money from Russia.But then also, as that's happening, you've got Trump, the rest of the Republican Party, and even a number of establishment Dems back to the 1950s and warning everyone about the dangers of communism.

In a recent speech in Post, he warned, Pearl Harbor or 9 -11."

And it was clear that he was talking about the rise in popularity of Democratic Socialist candidates.But with those Democratic Socialists, you've got a few things.If you actually take a look, it's hard to even call them a unified party at times or even a movement at this stage.It ends up being more of a loose coalition of progressive candidates that are breaking away from the Democratic establishment on key issues like Israel and how hard they want to go in on social programs.And because Democratic Socialist policies have actually been so popular, that's why they started saying the words communist.You even had Sam Harris fear mongering about this with Scott Galloway this morning while they were trying to take shots at Mamdani.

And as you ended up seeing, because he got just ripped up by his own community in those comments, that ends up being a hard sell, unless you're trying to stir up fear in less educated voters who think that even free school lunches makes you a Marxist.But that is a big thing, because it's not just Trump and Republicans that are pushing this.You've got Democrats also facing their own civil war, as moderates are promising to go after the progressive wing and keep control of power.And then you're also saying that's not where the shakeups end.Some of the fundamental policy stances, it feels like we've entered the twilight zone, where you've had for almost a century, the Republican party being huge on free trade.But then Trump comes in, and almost overnight, the party does a complete 180.

And then maybe even crazier is that polling shows that the most pro -free trade voting bloc are democratic socialist aligned voters, followed by the Democrats, right?Two groups that historically were more wary of it because of their pro -union stances.So a lot changing, a lot moving, and it's another reason to follow to stay in the loop.
