Sometime in the last decade, Hollywood studios realized that people were sick of film remakes and instead preferred sequels. But studios don’t want to veer from a formula that already worked once, so they want a sequel to effectively be a remake. This is where the “soft reboot” idea comes from. The most famous of these is the first Disney Star Wars film, The Force Awakens, which was a sequel but was nigh a beat-for-beat remake of A New Hope, just with a woman and repulsive CGI. The main difference was that the new version sucked.

I started thinking that today’s election is basically a soft reboot of the 2016 election when I saw this cringe 80s nostalgia Trump compilation Elon Musk posted.

That was an aesthetic that was fun in 2016 and then was done to death to the point that no one currently alive ever wants to see it ever again. Maybe it can make a comeback in 50 years.

These people are trying to do a beat-for-beat remake of the 2016 election. We have the same slogans, the same “outsider” arguments, the same promises. Our villain is just a dumber, colored version of Hillary Clinton. We have a cast of characters billed as a “super team” assembled (most of them new because many of the 2016 people don’t want anything to do with this election and others were exposed as frauds). Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Jared Kushner is running the show.

But it sucks. It sucks and there is no energy because everyone knows where this is going. We’ve all seen it before.

The second Trump presidency is going to be worse than Disney Star Wars. The campaign has been forced, with very low energy, so there isn’t really even going to be any expectation. In 2016, there were a lot of expectations. People involved with the movement and with the transition actually wanted to do some of the things Trump had talked about during the campaign. You won’t have that this time. It’s just going to be a mechanized, soulless thing.

You can see that from the proposals of people he is planning to install in his cabinet. The hype train is playing up Bobby Kennedy and Elon Musk, but Trump is openly involved with the likes of Mike Pompeo, Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton, and other such scum. A POLITICO report last month said that these people are all getting cabinet positions. Who knows about that reporting, but it surely won’t surprise anyone when Trump installs a completely Zionist foreign policy team as well a totally establishment/corporate domestic policy team.

Elon teaming up with Ron Paul to abolish the bureaucracy and Bobby banning processed food and vaccines are like Trump’s claim he was going to build a wall. These things will be mentioned a few times, but neither Elon nor Bobby are getting cabinet positions and nothing meaningful is going to happen.

For the record, I still like Trump. I think he’s a fun guy.

It’s the same way I felt about Han Solo.

  1. I was planning to cast a symbolic protest vote for Pat Buchanan, but I changed my mind and voted for Trump because the public figures whose foreign policy views I most respect, Congressman Thomas Massie and Tucker Carlson, endorsed Trump.

    Their endorsement was based on Trump’s promise to be the peace candidate.

    Trump burned his bridges when he fiercely attacked Liz Cheney as a war hawk during a recent interview with Carlson in Arizona.

    Trump doubled down the next day, again attacking Liz Cheney as a war hawk during a campaign event in Dearborn Michigan, while standing next to his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law Massad Boulos.

    I will be counting on Carlson, Massie and Boulos to hold Trump accountable for his promise to bring peace to all the conflict zones, including Gaza.

  2. Soft?
    After the already fantastic democratic performance of 2020, this time there is supposed to be the highest voter turnout ever. Well, if even a Kevin MacDonald votes, and The Great Pimp at that, could we be talking about the biggest and best and fairest pandering of all time?
    Normally, voter turnout is under 50 % and no American government has ever had any real legitimacy (as a minority government). Exception: The Biden Administration against the backdrop of 66 % turnout in 2020.
    Or was it even 66.66 percent voter turnout in the year off (for Joe)?
    The script was written long ago and who wonders whether The Orange Can of … gets his real shooting as it is supposed to be in the screenplay this time around?
    Or is the „Legend of Bagger Vance“ the main role in the script of the earthly G-d’z?
    At least one thing is undoubtable: American Democracy is alive and doing what it does best: pulling everyones’ leg.

    Regarding ballot-box worship as a way of life, the great chronicler Thos. Carlyle (‘History of the French Revolution,’ 1837), expressly prophesied its total collapse. “I’ll give it two centuries,” he said at that time. Carlyle well knew the talmudic killers and liars who invented the ballot box, although he did not name them explicitly.

    Let’s add a quote from the “blind bard” Homer (fl. 850 B.C.): IT IS NOT GOOD THAT MANY RULE. Has the world heard or learned anything about politics since Homer’s time? If not, it is because of the concerted attacks on absolute monarchy by the satanic followers of Moses:

  4. I predicted Kameltoe on another Anglin thread, so here

    I’m going to predict Trumpstein.

    and thus be correct at least once.

    “credibility”

    fah-Q

    as of 10:44 RMT….Trumpstein appears 2B on the way to winning both the EV and the popular vote. Joy in Izrahell.

    vote counting also appears 2B a lot more orderly and a lot less glitched & suspicious than 2020.

  7. 11:38 RMT

    NC just called for Trump. Trump leading in PA, Mich, Wisc, GA, etc. Yuge popular vote blow-outs in TX and FlA will probably cancel out usual large demonrat margin in CA. May also win AZ and NV.

  8. 12:36 AM 11/6 RMT

    GA called for Trumpstein

    Republiscams take control of Senate…currently 51R/41D

  9. 1:11 AM 11/6:

    breakdown of Arab-“American” vote in Michigan indicating large bleed off of normally demonrat votes away from Harris and to bolshevik Jill Stein. As a direct result, Trump will carry Mich. Also maintaining large lead in PA. It’s over tho, to hold viewers, networks are delaying final call.

  10. Winning is winning. What makes you think the thems have him when it is just as likely that they’ve been had. Trump’s unpredictability is why he is hated.
