Oh no! Trump told a rally on his "Thank You" tour that he isn't really interested in locking Hillary up. Shut it down!
The media is of course gloating about this betrayal of the base, from twitter to the MSM.
Good. Let them sell us the rope.
The left makes three fundamental errors regarding both Trump and the presidency:
1. The president is the boss of all branches of government. This is what they believe. This is why they saw no legal barrier (they never had a moral one) to Obama doing whatever he wanted, and why their concern about Republican presidents is always one of fear of the always assumed dictatorial powers now in the hands of the enemy.
2. That Trump (and his followers) are complete idiots.
3. That they cannot help themselves at biting at bait regarding the above. Trump already trolled them with the flag protection proposal.
Do you really think there's nothing more going on here than Trump dismissing a huge part of his base's enthusiasm at his own victory tour? Or is Trump, a man with a lifetime of playing with the media and two years of being the undisputed master of it, doing something more?
Here's what I see:
- Trump, contrary to how Democrats picture it, personally has no legal authority to go after Hillary as president. That is up to Congress to investigate, the FBI to investigate, and for the AG (Sessions, aka not-a-cuck) to prosecute. Trump has leverage over all these groups to differing and greater or lesser degrees, but they are all officially independent in their investigations and conclusions.
- So Trump says he's not interesting in doing something now that, as president, wasn't his job anyway. And the media, convinced Trump is an idiot and unable to resist trying to blackpill those of us on the train, are busy writing articles about how Trump has no intention of hitting Hillary now. They are producing a paper trail alibi for Trump and they don't even notice.
- If Congress, the FBI, and the AG cannot for whatever reason get Hillary, Trump shrugs and says that's in the past and he's said so for months that he has more important things to do. This is, technically, true. Wall & Deportations > Clinton, every time. It's also true because again, going after Hillary wasn't something the president is supposed to do.
- If (we hope and pray and believe there will be), there is an indictment, then the MSM will gear up to paint the whole thing as a politically motivated hitjob... and the Trump administration will have phonebooks worth of documentation from the exact same members of the press, gloating that president-elect Trump has no such intentions whatsoever.
Progressives, BTFO. We will never get tired of winning.
Throw in the fact that right now, Obama has to weigh the public optics of a pardon against the risk of it being needed. No sense in being seen to throw out the smoking gun if no investigation is forthcoming anyway. This is especially true if Obama wants to try and play the Washington elder statesman role rather than pissing off to Hawaii like he should.
Trump is all about violating his enemy's expectations. He railed in the campaign about this, particularly regarding ISIS and Obama's administration releasing military schedules, but it was a general theme and has been all of Trump's life. Trump is giving his enemies nothing to work with, while making them work for him.
No blackpills, fam. When and only when Trump actually starts implementing a cuck policy is it time to fire the broadside. I know we're not used to having a leader who smiles and assures our enemies while he prepares the kidney shiv (something the other side does often and well - DOMA, DADT...), but I truly believe we have such a man now. Give him the opportunity to work the magic.

Keep Your Powder Dry
We haven't won anything yet. We don't have the wall. We don't even have the White House for another 60 days, and you can be sure the usual suspects are going to come up with some bullshit to try between then and now. Be great if we could keep the coalition together for a while longer - we all want them to go back.
End of day, what happened over the past few days is not a big deal as a single event. Normies are not going to ever remember it, and a good chunk that do see it will just assume it's the usual bullshit RACISS narrative of the MSM. The biggest danger here is we tear ourselves apart. Yeah, trusting the MSM was dumb. Lesson learned, move on.
I get why we're all on edge - we've spent the last century being cucked and betrayed by our leadership, so anything that so much as hints of pulling back off the accelerator sets all of us off onto the blackpill. There is absolutely no need for this at this time. Everything at this point is just words - the single concrete action we have at this point is Sessions nominated for AG, and that's a home-run. Everything else: from Clinton will she/won't she be investigated, to NPI shenanigans, doesn't matter. Take a step back.
Trump is, despite MSM bullshit, a civic nationalist with relatively moderate views, and he has a natural reaction to punch back no matter where the punch comes from. This is a great strength for us, because we can goad our enemies into making Trump one of us by making things so unbearable they lash out. Hamilton is the sort of thing that pushes Trump more towards us. Riots and BLM push Trump towards us. But forcing Trump to get involved in our own drama pushes him away. Let the enemy do the dirty work for us.
We're not going to change the culture overnight. Sure, no cucking, but you're delusional if you think we're going to maintain our coalition of normies in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania if you go tying the GodEmperor to fascist symbols in the current year. That's not cucking, that's common sense. Either go full fash and push the Overton Window to the right as an independent, or play the normie-friendly version of the alt-right for now and get behind Trump. You can't do both - I don't decide that, you don't decide that, the normie decides that. That's democracy for you. Normies will abandon us completely if they think we've got nothing more to offer than goosesteps.
Look at the liberals. In 2005, they were telling conservatives that DOMA wasn't necessary, that marriage should be left to the states - isn't that your principles anyway? And of course, they were all lying, and a decade later were cheering the top-down mandate for gay marriage. But in 2005, none of them purity spiraled, none of them started screaming, because they all knew it was a ploy to deceive us. They knew that their leadership had no intention of 'leaving it up to the states', they just needed to make sure we didn't act while we had the power to do so.
Same deal with Clinton sighing DADT. The same people who put it into law led the charge that it was outdated and cheered its demise. They knew Clinton wasn't cucking them out of what they wanted, they just knew that they had to slip us the decadence in bite-size pieces.
That's where we are today. It is much easier for Trump, and by extension us, if we can convince the normies that the fight on immigration is about 3 million felons, or that we're not interested in vindictive attacks on our political enemies, or that our policies are not fascist. Then once we've deported 3 million (and destroyed sanctuary cities because they're harboring said felons), we can move on to the next 3 million - say, illegals taking welfare, or whatever. And after that, we can deport the next batch, until we're back to demographics that reflect a nation and not an airport. Take the cake slice by slice, just like the other side have been doing to us our entire lives. It works.
Trump gets this. And we'd be better off nodding and winking until it's time for phase 2, than sperging about the need to have everything done tomorrow. And if we are betrayed, or allies turn out to be cucks, concern trolls, etc. then by all means fire the broadside. But let's not tear ourselves up because someone might be thinking about considering pulling a Romney.
We've come a long way, lads. But don't delude yourself: politically, we still need the normies on board. That doesn't mean cucking or moderating into nothing, but it does mean not running so far ahead of the crowd that we're no longer able to lead it. We didn't lose the nation over night, and unfortunately we won't win it back over night either.
