Courtney Weil's provocative commentary in Blaze Media last week warned against the “black pill.” Weil linked the practice to misguided right-wingers who are underestimating Donald Trump's chances of reelection. This fruitless gloom, it's said, could fuel despair among those working tirelessly for a Republican victory in November.
Weyl's warning against pessimism has not proven misplaced; he just gets angry when he hears defeatist attitudes coming from his camp, even if they are justified. Moreover, Weyl indiscriminately lumps together the two groups spreading this pessimism, labeling both as right-wing. As someone who is most committed to the right, I don't see why I'm in the same camp as National Review's Jim Geraghty. Like the rest of his magazine's staff, Geraghty makes a living attacking Trump while also being the public face of the now-deposed Republican establishment.
It would be naive to think that we are not living in the midst of a government-driven cultural revolution, one relentlessly driven by the media, the culture industries, and American schools.
And unlike moderately conservative New York Post contributor Isaac Scholl, I don't blame Trump for picking J.D. Vance as his running mate. I'm glad the former president made that choice. In fact, I'd be happy to vote for Vance in any office.
Unfortunately, Weyl fails to make an important distinction: While the honest right expresses pessimism while those who benefit from ties to the Republican establishment ridicule Trump, the two groups do not overlap, and they do not question Trump's chances of reelection for the same reasons.
Although I am a black pill distributor, I still support Trump and Vance, even to the point of having a prominent sign in my yard and making several donations to their campaigns.
I would be surprised if they won, for all the reasons that other pessimistic right-wingers have pointed out. I believe the Democrats are cheating. That's why they are trying to implement less secure voting methods and give voting rights to illegal immigrants who were deliberately brought to this country to boost their party's support. The left also controls the most important institutions in the United States, especially the government administration, the mass media, and educational institutions.
Given the extremely extreme positions Kamala Harris and Tim Walz held until recently, this election cannot be close. I am surprised there has been no public outcry over Harris's deliberate avoidance of interviews and policy questions. I would expect widespread public disgust for her grade-school level gibberish in any normal society.
But that's not the case: No matter how much Kamala evades questions and how hard the media defends her, her popularity is growing, or at least remaining the same.
Moreover, as abortion rights have become a major election issue, American voters ReasonableSince then Dobbs Ruling that allegedly deprived women of their “reproductive rights” Abortions on the rise There are more abortions in America than ever before. Kamala Harris now links her race to abortion:Key Issues” and the fact that he has been successful in doing so calls into question the rationality of roughly half of the American electorate.
The fact that Democratic candidates are even or even ahead in races against a former president who presided over a strong economy, well-guarded borders, and safe cities shows just how powerful the ubiquitous left has become. This is not a passing phenomenon in our political and cultural landscape; it reflects long-established trends in our national life that date back to at least the 1960s.
It would be naive to think that we aren’t undergoing a government-sponsored cultural revolution—one that is being driven tirelessly by the media, the culture industries, and America’s schools. This revolution is deeply influencing our politics, and I would hesitate to say with any certainty that Trump and Vance are likely to be the winners of the presidential election.
Even if “our people” win and their party performs better than expected in the congressional elections, the fight against the omnipresent left will continue, which may even accelerate the war launched during the first term of the Trump administration. Who thinks that the left's attempts to undermine the opposition will stop just because the Republicans win some elections?
A Trump victory would likely lead to a meticulously orchestrated insurrection and further weaponization of the administrative state, while the media would openly call for Trump's removal from office by any means necessary, and, of course, thanks to America's woke capitalist class, our opponents would have ample funding to achieve their aims.
Even if someone is unpleasant, never underestimate their drive for power or their resourcefulness in going after what they want, and if pointing that out means taking the Black Pill, I'm happy to plead guilty.
