I don't read is the guiding principle of all Trumptards that I have known. Oh, some do read novels, but read something real? Very rare.

From 2020, five years ago, Anne Applebaum saw it coming.

The crisis isn’t Trump. It’s the Republican Party.

Anne Applebaum wrote the book on why people choose to collaborate with authoritarian regimes. So what does she think of the GOP?

I’m afraid that I think it’s a little bit more sinister than that. I think that — certainly on Trump’s part, and other Republicans are probably coming to see this the same way as well — this is an attempt to create a new kind of base: an enraged receiving base, which will always think that the election was stolen and which will always assume that something went wrong and will always feel that they were deprived of something. And this base will then have uses in the future.

I don’t believe it will be all of the Republican Party. I can’t tell you right now how many of them it will be. But it will be a significant number of people. And in some congressional districts and some states, it could even be a majority. And this will be a base that is usable. This will be a base that not only dislikes the Democratic Party or disagrees with them, it will think that the Democratic Party is evil and anti-democratic — that they have stolen the election.

Think about what that means. That means that they aren’t even a legitimate political party. It means that there is a base of people who will be not just skeptical of mainstream media — whatever you think mainstream media is, which may even include Fox now. They will be not just skeptical of Fox, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the Philadelphia Inquirer. They will think all of those institutions are part of a deliberately constructed conspiracy to steal the presidency. And that kind of feeling — that conviction that the other side isn’t just wrong, it’s evil and traitorous — that’s then a useful group of people who can be motivated politically and maybe in other ways in the future.

Exploiting Male Rage

Charlie Kirk’s audience consisted to a large extent of resentful young white men who felt that modern society wasn’t delivering the status that they deserved.

Given MAGA’s brazen attempts to exploit Kirk’s murder to suppress freedom of expression, I’m sure someone will call what I just said hate speech. But it’s actually just an honest description of reality.

Yeah, Okay Paul.

You've been wrong about everything you've ever said, so just keep spouting bullshit as long as they're paying you for it.

There will be a special place in hell for you one day.

You've been silenced. You did it to yourself. Congratulations.

Here's mine:

If they were smart, they got some real Democrat Party talent to write it for him too. I'm talking pulling Axelrod out of his recent retirement... or maybe even getting Rahm Emanuel (a possible future Democrat Party Presidential Candidate) on as a scriptwriter too (which could be alluded to in his possible future run), and then have Bill Maher proofread and edit it, or at least give the final thumbs up/down before it gets in Jimmy's hands.

Yeah, Jimmy. We all knew tonight's ratings were going to be huge.

What are next week's going to look like?



Jimmy Kimmel’s short-lived ratings spike comes to screeching halt

Jimmy Kimmel’s ratings spike was short-lived.

Disney briefly suspended ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after the host’s remarks about the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk sparked widespread backlash. After an about-face from Disney, the liberal comedian returned last Tuesday, and Kimmel’s emotional return drew a massive audience, but viewers haven’t stuck around.

On Thursday, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” averaged 2.3 million total viewers — a staggering 64% drop from the 6.5 million who tuned in for Tuesday’s much-hyped return.

Kimmel shed even more viewers in the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, with Thursday’s episode hemorrhaging 73% of viewers from the critical category.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” pulled in 1.7 million viewers among the key demo for Tuesday’s return but plummeted to 465,000 only 48 hours later.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” also lost significant viewers in the younger demographic of adults aged 18-49, managing 1.2 million on Tuesday but quickly losing 73% to settle for only 334,000 on Thursday.

It all sounded great, Jimmy.

Now stop being a chronic fuck face and stop riling up all the other chronic fuck faces five nights a week. Just do your fucking job and entertain us.


I'm looking for the country to heal, and I'm looking for people finding ways to finally, GENUINELY try to turn down the temperature.

You, Jimmy, are in a position of influence that can make this happen. But if you go right back to the show you used to do up until last week and pretend that more than half the country didn't hate you going into last week, your viewership is going to tank again and everyone is just going to keep being pissed off at each other forever.

I'd suggest for all of us that you don't do that. And I'd suggest that you encourage people like Ted and Second to stop being assholes to everybody else all the time too.

Maybe this will work out well for everyone in the end.

Honestly, I don't think this monologue could have possibly been any better than it was, given your current vantage point. What you choose to do with that now is up to you.

The ball is in your court.




Way to fuck it up brother. Just like everyone knew you were going to do.

Shame.

This Is the Moment Christian Nationalists Have Been Waiting For

Some MAGA Christians see Charlie Kirk’s killing as the start of a “revival”—and the moment for remaking America.

By Molly Olmstead | Oct 01, 2025 5:45 AM

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/10/charlie-kirk-killing-maga-
christian-right.html


“A century from now, when they write of the two or three pivotal moments that led to the saving of Western civilization, they will write that the sacrifice of Charles James Kirk was the turning point,” Jack Posobiec, the right-wing influencer, told the masses at Kirk’s memorial. “By returning the people to Almighty God.”

The religious right says that return is already underway, that Kirk’s killing has inspired something remarkable in America. Thousands of people, you’ve been told, are responding to Charlie Kirk’s death by pulling out dusty Bibles or wandering into their nearest churches. Pastors describe packed pews; priests report fielding questions about adult baptism. You can see the evidence yourself: On social media, people are making teary videos professing to have rediscovered Jesus; in the comments, former atheists share stories of finding peace and purpose in prayer.

But they’re not calling it a return, they’re calling it a “revival.” That was a term that kept popping up during Kirk’s memorial rally on Sept. 20. “Charlie started a political movement but unleashed a spiritual revival,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said. “After Charlie’s assassination, we didn’t see violence,” Kirk’s wife, Erika, said. “Instead, we saw what my husband always prayed he would see in this country. We saw revival.” The White House X account captioned a video from the event “A REVIVAL.”

A “revival,” in the Christian tradition, can mean a number of things to do with an outpouring of faith. Traditionally, among Protestant Christianity, where the term is most often used, revival is evoked for a kind of born-again moment, in which people experience a sudden and overpowering personal connection with God; it sometimes happens in mass movements, with hundreds or thousands overcome in the same wave. In more Pentecostal-style Christianity, it can mean an awakening to the power of the Holy Spirit and the “gifts” that come with that—speaking in tongues, for example, or faith healing. Some traditions consider revival necessary to create the kingdom of God on Earth, to pave the way for Jesus’ second coming. Regardless, revival has traditionally been spoken of as a profound divine blessing.

This is something different, something more directly and overtly political. Coming from political actors and MAGA evangelical leaders, the revival they’re describing is a kind of fulfillment of political prophecies, an awakening of the American public to the calls from God—to embrace a version of Christianity that conquers American society and leaves it transformed. The society that this group seeks to create scorns what it sees as degrading elements of the secular world, abortion and LGBTQ+ rights chief among them. It prioritizes traditional understandings of family life, with mass media that celebrate traditional gender roles. It elects into office faithful Christians, men and women who base their laws and policies and court rulings on their religious beliefs, with non-Christian candidates being pushed from office. It encourages schools and other public institutions to openly engage in Christian religious practices. To transform society, the public and their leaders will need to understand that, above all else, political matters are not about partisan differences but the side of the angels against the forces of evil.

There’s a catch here: We have no idea whether Kirk’s death is prompting a mass popular embrace of conservative Christianity. It’s being loudly asserted, but hard, measurable data—such as numbers on church attendance or reliable polling on public opinion—are not yet available. And if there is a surge in religious fervor, it’s too soon to know if it will last.

But for this particular revival, a mass shift in pub
