From Debate to Danger: The Disturbing Shift in American Political Culture
Politics is about to get nasty.
In light of the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, we're witnessing a troubling escalation in the tenor of American politics. This incident isn't just a singular event; it symbolizes a deeper, more dangerous trend: politics in the West reverting to its most primal, survivalist form.
Historically, the political arena was a battleground where only the most ruthless survived. Today, we see shades of this past reemerging, where dialogue and debate give way to a darker, more decisive form of confrontation. The incident with Trump underscores a shift towards what can be termed a 'post-persuasion' political landscape. In this new reality, the ability to engage and persuade seems increasingly overshadowed by the readiness to employ overwhelming force against adversaries.
This trend is alarming yet perhaps unsurprising. It reflects a broader societal shift towards polarization, where common ground shrinks and the stakes perpetually rise. In such a climate, the unwillingness to exert formidable force is perceived not just as a weakness, but as an existential threat to one's survival in the political jungle.
What does this mean for the future of our political discourse?
Are we destined to return to a state where might makes right, and where the pen is no longer mightier than the sword?

This should serve as a wake-up call to the Right. They can no longer bank on the assumption that their ideas alone will win over the masses. The Right must do everything possible to build the political skills and connections necessary to seize every lever of power — from the county commission all the way to federal agencies.
The way the Right will achieve this is by using the so-called “Sailer Strategy” of maximizing white voter turnout, especially that of the white working class vote. With laser-like precision, the Right should target white working class voters in the Rust Belt. It should ignore all temptations of doing outreach to unreceptive minorities or striver class whites. Outreach should only be done to people who don’t need much persuading and who are primed to be a part of a populist coalition. Disillusioned members of the white working class are the key constituency of this coalition.
From there, a right wing agenda of severe immigration restriction, economic nationalism, rolling back the ant-white administrative state, and foreign policy restraint must be imposed from the top — by hook or by crook.
A certain degree of political ruthlessness and willingness to bend the rules is required for the Right to fully insinuate itself in power. However, relying on classically liberal procedures of perpetual debate and abiding by political norms is a recipe for getting vanquished by a more ruthless, well-organized opposition.
When you perpetually debate, your opponents legislate.
Let us take this moment to reflect on the path of the new political realities unfolding before our very eyes. It's time to consider a more hard-nosed approach to politics, rather than one dominated by the politics of decency, before it’s too late.
