After I provided a completely precise negative summary of current market/industry conditions, commenting on a business venture that I cannot yet discuss (but will indeed be relevant to our readers’ interests), I received a rebuke from my business partner: ” Stop complaining about your abilities!” This is an even more precise answer than mine.
Too often we spend time complaining about the state of the world, and yet the worse the situation, the greater the opportunity to take control and make it better.
This applies largely to all areas of life. However, since we are mainly talking about politics in this space, let’s apply the maxim there.
We found this to be very useful indeed.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the Conservatives have the best chance of radically changing the election since 1980. Sure, I present the analysis of the darkest before the dawn. But the fact that everything is falling apart is both a terrifying sign of society’s decline and a golden moment for potential change.
It’s best to see it primarily as the latter.
After all, why wouldn’t you do it? If it all goes to waste, it will still be true if you take the risk of fixing it and fail.
And Joe Biden and the radical leftist mob of idiots supporting him are sending us to hell with a very immense basket. We can’t deny it.
Take the economy for example:
It’s official: inflation is skyrocketing and the economy is grinding to a halt.
As Business Insider put it: “The US economy may be heading towards stagflation, which will be an outcome worse than a recession.”

Damn, that’s an absolutely terrible forecast. Mann the lifeboats, right?
Normal. The economy is, in a word, screwed. Deficit spending devalues the currency and chokes the economy. It is destroying access to homeownership for an entire generation of Americans, prices are out of control and now deteriorating at an accelerated rate, producers are being squeezed by both prices up and down the supply chain and skyrocketing compliance costs, and – worse still – producers are not they are able to pass on these costs to the increasingly exhausted consumer.
It is almost certain that it will collapse, and soon. This is all unsustainable. The only solution is radical change – such as the one Javier Milei is organizing in Argentina, which almost immediately transformed from an uncontrolled budget deficit to a surplus. Now Milei is quickly making many enemies by doing whatever it takes to save his country from the effects of Marxist tyranny, but he has proven that unsustainable deficits are merely a function of will – just like balanced budgets and a functioning economy.
There is therefore a chance to politically monetize the pain of Bidenomics and promise something else:
Biden has been warned that wasting trillions of taxpayer dollars lining the pockets of his leftist cronies will cause inflation.
He did it anyway and now prices are up 19.4%.

This is an example of a prototype. All Republican Party candidates must preach economic destruction and blame it on their Democratic opponents, and they should impose it as strongly as possible, without any qualifications or restrictions.
You and your family will be homeless and dumpster jumping if you don’t get the Democrats out of power immediately. Do you think I’m lying? Go and ask all the Venezuelans who just crossed the border at the invitation of Dirty Joe Biden. They will tell you because they have been dealing with Bidenomics in their country for two decades and THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL GET.
What’s the comeback to this? That you’re spreading conspiracy theories? Really? Now say “conspiracy theory” and most will immediately assume that you are a liar or a dupe, but at least they want to check the particular “conspiracy theory” you are talking about because it even involves money that will pay out within six months.
No one – or at least no one except the “experts” who can’t stop being colossally wrong in their forecasts – was surprised to see stagflation in the economy. We all saw this coming. And we all know the binary of what comes next: either the right course or we will become Venezuela. Economically it sucks; Politically, this is manna from heaven and Republicans should take advantage of it.
What about the Trump trials? This week CNN poll with Donald beating Dirty Joe by 6 points in a head-to-head matchup and by 9 points against third-party candidates in the race, about 57 percent of respondents agreed with the view that all of these Trump accusations are actually fair-minded violations intended to eliminate him from the presidential race.
The audience understands this. They don’t like it – at least most of them don’t like it. So while this is a terrible abuse of justice and a sedate threat to the future of the republic, it is also a huge opportunity.
Trump’s trial in New York is not something the right should wring its hands over. We’ve already written and said all the right things about what Dirty Joe and his DEI flying monkeys (thanks, Joy Reid!) have done to our courts. At this point we should accept this abuse as the disqualifying, miserable political error that it is.
Someone should produce and distribute millions of little plastic kangaroos with “Let’s Go Brandon” written on their chests and a very specific, earthy scent, easily recognizable from a zoo or a backyard, and distribute them everywhere. Drop them off from helicopters outside the kangaroo courthouse in New York; litter the White House lawn with them; deliver them to local Democratic Party headquarters across the country; brandish them at photo opportunities where Democrat politicians mug for cameras. Do everything possible to make the kangaroo, not the donkey, the Democrats’ favorite mascot, so that everyone associates them with the kangaroo courts hearing Trump cases.
The message behind this message is obvious: these corrupt bastards are doing everything they can, beyond custom and law, to bring down Trump, a former president and one of the richest and most powerful men in the world. What do you think will stop them from doing this to you?
People don’t like this idea at all, so they need to be made clear that this is exactly what’s happening.
Hell, it’s not even about Trump. Look at Daniel Penny. Look at Daniel Perry, whose situation was as similar to Penny’s as his name was. Perry was a U.S. Army sergeant who in 2020 was surrounded in his car by a crowd of Antifa protesters in Austin, Texas, and shot at one who brandished a rifle at him. The idiots in Austin found him guilty of murder last year.
Look at the January 6 protesters and the way they were treated compared to the Antifa and BLM thugs, not to mention the Hamas puppets on all these campuses.
I could go on. You get the picture. People are uncomfortable with the idea that the justice system has become politicized beyond recognition. So blame this travesty on Dirty Joe, his handlers and allies and demand they pay for it.
Border? There is no better example of a great opportunity than this. Biden’s migrant invasion – and especially the fact that it serves as cover for a specific invasion of draft-age men from China and some Middle Eastern countries with particular religious beliefs that generally do not align with American notions of individual liberty and personal morality – may represent the greatest political opportunity in history America. There’s something for everyone here: you can talk about how Biden has lowered the wages of the American working class by hiring replacement workers for corporate America that they could exploit as effective strikebreakers. You can talk to these migrants about how he betrayed Blacks and Latinos. You can talk about how it is stretching the welfare state to its breaking point, sending millions of illegal immigrants on welfare while clogging up public schools, hospitals, day care centers, prisons and every other facility you can think of, importing the huddled masses and redistributing public resources from away from Americans who need them.
The border alone should be enough to devastate Democrats, as Biden’s migrant invasion hit their voters hardest. Anyway, let them understand.
The trans issue. Chinese bribes. The DEI clown show that keeps clowning. Favoring Hamas. Stupid EV mandates that promise to break our auto industry and leave businesses and consumers without reliable transportation. You name the problem and these clowns have made it worse – and almost universally, in terrible ways.
I could write an entire book about the multitude of golden opportunities for political annihilation that Democrats have presented.
On the right, we have a lot of internal conflicts that can tear each other apart. Let’s do it next year, when we take over power and start experimenting how to finally exploit it effectively. The most crucial task – indeed the only task – is to recognize and appreciate the gifts that the left gives.
Stop looking at it as the end of the world. Start looking at it as an end their world. Because that’s true – if we are good enough to make them suffer for their sins.
