Trump needed to expand his support in 2015 & 2016. He needed INSANE voters.
Third Thread: The Conspiracy Theory Voters
Aka let's try to do SPD again, Sarah Palin's Disease. Sorry, my 2nd Thread was longer than I expected with Newt.
So now let's do Sarah Palin properly, in her own thread.
Trump needed to expand his support in 2015 & 2016. He needed INSANE voters.
VERY EARLY in that movement, a 'sister' movement started as the Tea Party, against big government
But by 2008, Sarah Palin had emerged as the poster girl for the Tea Party nutters
Their candidates are PUNISHED for compromise, REWARDED for fanaticism
THIS IS A CANCER
IT IS INCURABLE
IT has killed the GOP as we know it
Because of Gerrymandering and Electoral College, and the freak 2016 Trump electioni cycle - GOP did not properly diagnose what is wrong

As we await Rudy Giuliani's arrest, let's do an update to the biggest criminal cases Rudy faces, and how this Giuliani path will take Trump to prison for life (separate from Weisselberg path that also takes Trump to prison for life)

AND while I was writing that Thread about Path 6, this news item broke. Back in May of 2021, immediately after Trump was asked to return government documents, he flew DOZENS of boxes of contents from Florida to New Jersey. Does this sound suspicious to you? https://t.co/63gsvkqi8A
holy fucking shit, on May 6, 2021, NARA asked Donald Trump to return missing documents. on May 9, 2021, Donald Trump was filmed leaving Florida with dozens of boxes, bound for Bedminster. let me repeat this: HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. why isn't Bedminster being searched right now pic.twitter.com/FKgtPL9OHI

Some of you are seeing Twitter problems at my Path 6 Thread about Mark Meadows / Trump espionage & theft of classified documents. It may abruptly end at Tweet 31 in the Thread. That is TW tech problem. He is next Tweet, 32 and you get to the end from here..

The Dept of Justice laid a trap for Trump. They told him, Trump has to supply a written letter stating they have no more classified documents, when FBI visited Trump on subpoena in Florida in June. And Trump had his lawyers write that letter pic.twitter.com/OzaeUn1Yzg

If you think "It's not censorship unless the government does it," I want to change your mind.

It's absolutely true that the First Amendment only prohibits government action to suppress speech based on its content, but the First Amendment is not the last word on censorship.

Have you seen the stories about how Trump administration officials and staffers for Ted Cruz are finding that no one in the private sector will hire them because they are forever tainted by their former bosses' disgraceful behavior?

Loving your take, @LindseyGrahamSC, you go get that 2022 Trump base … wait … are all y’all at @MSNBC rope-a-doping Lindsey? Better f$&kin’ DM and let me know, if so, before someone finally shows Lindsey the future I’ve chosen to write for him).
You know … Lindsey … I want you to think about something
Now if a small group can change the country, what do you want to f$&kin’ bet that ONE MF can change this country?
Oh thank Christ! I was worried you might go the other way and that would totally f$&k up everything I had left to say.
‘Cause Lindsey, I have learned something this week. We are all familiar with the phrase:

F$&kin\u2019 dare yah, dare yah (dammit, already thought of one) to find a time in history when the following has been more true. \u201cNever doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.\u201d - Margaret Mead

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
