I’ve written about the same thing. I can see upsides with either candidate. But I think Trump in office means the right will not hold him accountable and more bad shit happens when the right is hitting snooze. Whereas, I’ve seen nothing but a cultural right and conservative value uprising since Kamala held office with Biden and my impression is that it is radicalizing and unifying the cultural (not political necessarily) right. That’s good for society in general. Because the DIY, pioneering, ingenuity of the right, the cultural glue of the right helping one another, upholding family and Christian values seems to be the way forward. The cultural left seems to be eating itself with the victim jockeying and social capital monopolization of the unfittest and of course, the depravity olympics which most of us can’t bear to look at longer. I did a blog recently on how the culture war is won viscerally. The reaction to leftism on crack is what we need to unify the true social and fiscal conservatives of the nation. The more obvious it gets, as you point out, the more society can steer away from it- and has. My thoughts exactly. And hopefully if Trump gets elected, which it seems he is the likely candidate, hopefully he doesn’t throw RFK Jr under the bus again for Bill Gates and Elon under the bus for his Morgan Stanley buddies again or grifting with the Saudis to elevate his own family foundation again (a thing he did after condemning Hilary for doing much less) or infringing on 2A with bans that have to wait until the right wakes up again. But hopefully, this dream team he has going is more than a marketing gimmick and the right is ready to hold his feet to the fire because whatever tyranny Trump proposes the left will inevitably say “it’s not enough” and the right generally make excuses for it. I can hardly hear to watch that for four more years.

I still think we should vote for Trump (as a Libertarian), however, I agree that maybe the system should be turned into the circus it is and laughed at, so I ultimately will be thinking on the same lines as you if Kamala actually does win.
