Not to worry, that is where my worship goes.

Trump was just the beginning. His arrival has marked a new era in Republican politics, and in the future I predict that more sophisticated generations of nationalists will rise to the occasion. Especially so, if the current given global economic system is bound for collapse ( as I believe it is )

Who will carry the populist torch after Trump? The establishment hates him for his failures, and they have far greater power in setting the party's agenda.

The Nationalists' drew the short end of the stick when they drew Trump as their new figurehead. Win or lose, such a divisive and controversial figure who is likely to be emulated in future embodiments of the movement is not likely to draw in very much positive attention from a lot of voters. Had they gotten a more competent or charismatic figurehead I'd be more bullish on their chances, but as it stands it looks to me as though their influence is fleeting, give it a decade or so I say.

That is my assessment as well. Trump is actually quite charismatic though (he didn't get a devoted fanbase for nothing).

If you only saw her; you'd love her too. I harbor no lust for Our Lady as that would be sinful. I do, however, hold her in great esteem. All women have the capacity to follow her example of devotion to the Lord, as they are blessed in turn. If you came to see who she was, you would come to love all women too.

Think of the political and everyday implications of this.

There won't be an "after Trump" for a while, is the problem. He won't simply relinquish control over the movement he's created for himself, it's not in his personality or in the general style of such figures to do so. But if this movement wants broader electoral appeal, it has to drop him. As such, they are cornered before they can get off the ground, and will be forced to limit themselves to the styling of Trump and his direct supporters.

An effective synthesis could potentially establish what St. Augustine referred to as The City of God.

Would not be surprised if Trump runs in '24
Assuming he's still alive

Global capitalism is cancerous. I just want a loving stable community where I can be left alone and leave my door unlocked when I go out. I hate urban life and I hate capitalism, I even hate banking. But I do it for the money.

odd that you want a loving stable community but also want to be left alone -- urban life has fewer people, but is much more isolating than life in a fulfilling community
anyway, i agree that global capitalism is bad, but the solution is not protectionist capitalism lmao

Nah, Separation of Church of State needs to be further emphasized in the coming years.

The British Conservative Party is paradoxical in so many ways it almost defies belief.

The self-proclaimed party of Empire was also the leading proponent of decolonization. They gave independence to Ireland, gutted British industry, have been milquetoast in their response to Scottish separatism and fought tooth and nail to prevent Britain from leaving the EU.

For a so-called "conservative" party, they don't seem very interested in conserving anything.

The Conservative Party is the party that has consistently supported the Monarchy, the House of Lords, and the Church of England. I don't see why you think imperialism was so great. I mean, maybe the British Empire wasn't as bad as modern Leftists say it was, but I still think that replacing it with the Commonwealth was a step in the right direction. And even assuming that leaving the EU will have a positive effect on Britain's internal politics, it doesn't exactly seem to be strengthening their position on the world stage.

No, I just want to call someone a dipshit when they're acting like one. And if being called a dipshit is enough to make someone leave the site, then that would also improve content quality.

I don't know much about him, but the clips I've seen of his show are interesting. Can't say I agree with all of it, especially the attempts to paint republicans in a good light. I like him better when he savages both parties.
