The guidance of history is that populist leaders are sometimes self-serving, and that must be guarded against, as well as that the entrenched powers will always fight populism and try to paint it as chaotic and dangerous when it really is just another form of changeI think Trump has not articulated that message enough. I'm not gonna disparage him for not being able to effectively deal with the media noise. But that's what has to happen.
And as this relates to Gaetz, the populists can't allow themselves to be portrayed as just the party of nope. It has to be the party of, "not that, this," and have something to show. What will people gain if we do it the populist way? What is populism?
People are being told it's the path to Hitler. In reality, it's more like what you said. It's trying to deliver a government of, by and for the people. That's essentially what populism is. It's the fulfillment of the promised constitutional republic.
In contrast, elitism is not that. It's Oligarchic. It's not representative. It's not democratic. It's the rule of the few over the many. But TPTB have retconned it to make them the good guys and populists the bad guys.
That's true of any leader. People are self-serving. Of course having a government of the people would be against the interests of the elites, which is why it's never really worked that way. I think populism, at least what I think it means, is the original intent. So it's not new, but it is a form of change from what it is now.The guidance of history is that populist leaders are sometimes self-serving, and that must be guarded against, as well as that the entrenched powers will always fight populism and try to paint it as chaotic and dangerous when it really is just another form of change
Speaking of which, now that Gaetz has served his purpose I'm fine with seeing him put on a short leash by the real players in this drama
He's showed those so inclined that retribution is possible and that betrayal can have consequences without the world immediately endingI'm not sure he's gained anything.
Hence why I allowed for that when I said, "unless the GOP conference wants to change the rules."Hey, there was a rule saying DeSantis couldn't remain governor and simultaneously run for president, and that got 'fixed'
Where there's a will there's a way
So who’s the next speaker? Jordan or Trump? Jordan put his bid in and Trump said he would do it if they needed him.
Staying uninvolved in wars where the American people have no compelling interest at stake is one of the. Original. Core conservative issues.I love the RINO term nowadays. You can sink a prominent fundraiser, leader, and messenger with democrats at your side and call people a RINO.
You can stand with a self-centered billionaire with a questionable record on core conservative issues and call his haters RINOs.
The people who use it are the once who seem most hell bent on losing the White House in 24 and throwing any political momentum in the trash.
Gaetz and the influencer crowed need to be expelled from the party. We have too many people who have zero strategy, zero thinking, and just demands to move forward. This is how Biden can survive a terrible cycle.
Liberals would loose their minds….O wait, they already have.Put in Trump, and start the impeachment process.
The most hail marry chaotic thing that could ever be possible in politics, and it'd be the funniest thing in our nation's history.
But it would be funny.Liberals would loose their minds….O wait, they already have.
He’s showed them they need to get rid of him. I’m not sure he’ll get the same constraints on the next guy that they got on McCarthy. I think there’s a perception that Scalise doesn’t need it.!He's showed those so inclined that retribution is possible and that betrayal can have consequences without the world immediately ending
Jury's still out on what has been accomplished
Edit: It's like a bus full of community organizers running off a cliff, it's a good start
It aint gonna be Trump. A handfull of House members would vote for him. Everyone hates Jordan too. He hasn’t paid his dues. I think it might be Scalise. He’d have the seniority to get support. I suspect he isn’t hated by the freedom caucus. He seems to be liked by the neocons. We’ll see.So who’s the next speaker? Jordan or Trump? Jordan put his bid in and Trump said he would do it if they needed him.

Wasn't the US Constitution birthed by compromise tho?Then we lost our country. Be prepared to compromise or end up in re-education camps before long.
Compromise has lead to this and continued compromise will lead to re-education camps.
It was "birthed" by revolution if you want to really get down to it.Wasn't the US Constitution birthed by compromise tho?
