Fat orange retardo and his team (Homan, Stephen Miller, many many others) have spent 4 years in painful exile, many of them enduring lawfare and continued Team A harassment. Musk has lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to advertisers being bullycided off of twatter. He also has lost a son who trooned out due to what he calls the "woke mind virus". It would not be a stretch to imagine that these people are all very, very angry. They are also high agency and have had quite a bit of time to plan, unlike the first orange Administration where everything was chaotic and halfassed. It would stand to reason that they also know some of the power nodes within governmental machinery now, who can be trusted, and who needs to be purged. So they will likely hit the ground running with a blitzkrieg of EOs, firings, and creatively destructive actions. They will, of course, encounter significant lawfare and GOPe resistance. The first 6 months of 2025 will likely determine the entirety of the second tangerine Administration's course. Economically it is likely that some success will be achieved. There is indeed a significant amount of government waste to cut and actively destroying DEI/affirmative action is a win no matter how you slice it. American industry and a skilled workforce cannot be restored in 4 short years, but many valuable seeds can be sown. The main thing I want to focus on, however, is the social re-engineering required to rebuild a rotten and failing military, which is what the US has now. This is where Thiel and Musk come in. Because, as both they and any military officer/NCO know: personnel are everything. And in the case of the US this means smart, competent, aggressive White men. Techbros know the power of social media. They know how it can shape trends and mold minds. Gen Z and Gen Alpha (the most attractive White demographic for military recruitment) have grown up online. They don't read newspapers or shitty conservatard publications. They listen to podcasts and follow clever anons on social media. Thiel in particular (clever faggot, has ties to US intelligence) has known this for awhile. Although Barron gets the credit for convincing his dad to go on podcasts and score the critical Rogan interview/endorsement, Thiel and Musk seeded a bunch of twatter anons and have repeatedly networked/boosted them, to the point that JD Vance is now following several directly. They worked overtime in an online GOTV effort that paid dividends (young White male MAGA turnout was way up, as was Latino and minority). This is not to detract from fat orange man's tremendous charisma, excellent performance at rallies/debates, and professionally run campaign at all: he put in his usual solid character work. But there is no question that twatter/Musk were critical to his arsenal. So: now what? Well, I touched on that earlier this year . . . 3/X
