The reality of the Big Fucked up bill will be 50,000 untimely deaths a year.
Nothing but pain suffering, and some really bad smells emanate from the orifices of the Trump meat package.
But it seems all good, America laps it up. Why? because America can't turn the goddamn T.V. show off!
Myth Over Reality: The Secret to Trump's Success
In history, the most powerful leaders have often been those who understood the power of myth, not truth, not reason, but the ability to shape perception and inspire belief. From Napoleon to Julius Caesar to Hitler, the pattern is clear: those who master mythmaking can reshape nations. And today, Donald Trump follows this same playbook with alarming precision.
The Mythmakers of History
The video transcript draws a striking comparison between two types of leaders:
The Virtuous Idealist (Robespierre) – A man of reason, dedication, and principle. Robespierre believed in the power of logic and the people's ability to think for themselves. Yet his downfall came because he underestimated the allure of power and self-interest.
The Mythmaker (Napoleon, Caesar, Hitler, Trump). These leaders did not rise through virtue but through political maneuvering, betrayal, and the creation of a godlike image. They understood that people do not crave reason. People crave a story, a savior, a myth.
Napoleon didn't win battles because he was the greatest general, he won because he convinced his soldiers he was invincible. Julius Caesar didn't overthrow the Roman Republic because of his policies, he did it by crafting himself as the unbeatable conqueror. Hitler didn't seize power through economic genius, he did it by selling himself as Germany's messiah.
And now, Trump.
Trump, who may like the others bring an iron grip of tyranny. A tyranny that will destroy America.
Trump's Mythmaking Genius
Trump's success is not based on reality. It is based on perception.
- Trump is not a great businessman (his business ventures fail and go tits up)
- Trump is not a policy expert (his economic and military decisions are chaotic and horrible)
- But none of this matters, because Trump understands one crucial truth:
People don't care about facts.
They only care about the story!
How Trump Built His Myth:
- The Billionaire Playboy. Before politics, Trump sold himself as the ultimate rich, powerful alpha male. He didn't need to actually be successful. He just needed to look successful. Good suits, helicopters and looking successful was in the budget.
- The Apprentice & Reality TV Politics. Trump's presidency is not a shift from entertainment to politics. It was a continuation of the same show. Politics became spectacle, and spectacle keeps people hooked. Myth overcome reality. Good suits, helicopters and looking successful was in the budget.
"Make America Great Again" is a Religion. MAGA is a mythological narrative. It doesn't need to deliver real prosperity. Only comparative prosperity. MAGA depends on an inferior class.
People don't think in absolutes. They think in comparisons.
- If Americans grow poorer, but China grows even poorer, Trump's supporters will still cheer.
- If wages stagnate, but immigrants are demonized as the cause, his base will still feel victorious.
- If democracy erodes, but the "enemy" (liberals, the media, globalists) is humiliated, they will see it as a triumph.
People don't need reality to actually get better. People just need to believe they're on the winning side. Which sadly for the majority of people means that there must be a loosing side. Mutual property is not in their vocabulary.
The End of the Republic
History shows a pattern:
- Caesar killed the Roman Republic.
- Napoleon killed the French Republic.
- Hitler destroyed Weimar Germany.
And now, Trump?
If the pattern holds, the American Republic may be toast. Not because of economic collapse or war, but because people prefer the dream over reality. People would rather live in a grand, dramatic story than face the hard work of democracy. As the American Empire falls apart escape into fantasy will be a common way to cope. Fourth turning end times.
Reason and facts alone cannot defeat myth. If democracy is to survive, it must have a better story. One that inspires without deceiving, that unites without demonizing.
No easy task that, so what will happen. History's cycle will repeat.
Trump is establishing a cycle. There will be a next strongman. There religion and infrastructure of MAGA demands it. Jiang Xueqin said that Trump will be president for the next 10 years. Think about that.
Is myth more powerful than reality? Can America survive the age of spectacle?
