The kids today ask what red-pilled you or black-pilled you, terms from the movie The Matrix. My red pill moment was probably the Mueller probe ending without a bang. The Russia hoax was sort of like the Iraq War: you better find WMDs or it was a tremendously destructive exercise. Similarly, you’d better find that Trump was working for Russia or the three year investigation was a tremendously destructive exercise. The line about Iraq is: “you break it, you bought it”. With Trump and the DoJ, “you break him, you bought him”. Or maybe you have built him into something he wouldn’t have otherwise been.
My political black pill moment was the months following Jan 6 when we began learning it was a Fed set-up. This showed us two things:
1. The forces of destruction were not backing down but doubling down.
2. Congress did nothing, showing that the FBI obviously must have blackmail on leaders. They are the people’s voice, or supposed to be, so that’s about as black-pilled as you can get.
The interesting question is always one of line-drawing. Every Republican voter and all Independents would vote for Trump if Biden started summarily executing political opponents. That’s the easy case. But how much corruption of the justice system is too much?
Similarly very few people would vote for Trump now if he had been given his first term unmolested by the FBI/DOJ. He would’ve experienced a lot more push-back from people on how he handled covid, the lockdowns, vaccine, poor hires like Fauci, etc... The focus would be on him rather than his much more lethal enemies. There's a reason Trump got 11 million more votes in '20 than '16. The 11 million realized they weren't voting for Trump v Biden, but Trump v the Deep State.
