The Night That Changed Politics Forever

Post by Hound of Heaven »

In 2011, a gathering of the most prominent figures, hollywood actors, politicians, and the crème de la crème, saw President Obama and a comedian decide to take jabs at Donald Trump from a podium, on a stage, in front of a global audience.

Typically, if Obama or a comedian chose to make light of a Hollywood elite, perhaps a politician or a standard elitist, many individuals would likely feel too intimidated by Obama to devise a strategy for retaliation against those who ridiculed him in a dismissive manner. However, what Obama and the elites overlooked is that Donald Trump is not someone who cowers in a corner when faced with lesser individuals who have become intoxicated by a power that is as phony as it gets.

Despite Obama's confidence in his intelligence, the critical error he made that night was failing to recognize that there are still men in this world who become more composed when faced with a challenge. Some men embrace adversity, believing that life becomes more fulfilling and meaningful when faced with painful, embarrassing, or stressful situations.

Similar to myself, Trump is among those individuals. He does not fear death, he embraces it. When he contemplates dying, rather than feeling sorrow, he smiles and welcomes death with open arms. Individuals like myself and Trump appreciate the value of peace, recognizing that tranquility benefits both society and the world. However, we find ourselves more energized and vibrant when faced with challenges at our doorstep. We are designed for hardship, for obstacles, for conflict, and the more we encounter, the more we experience the essence of life.

It could be argued that our very nature suggests that adversity rejuvenates us and imparts a genuine sense of purpose to our existence on this planet.

The content I just shared pertains to a personality type that has shaped the world we inhabit today. This personality stands out in every conceivable way, and individuals who embody these traits can be formidable to confront if one attempts to exploit, mock, or demean them. When someone chooses to belittle a man with this personality, they are essentially activating a mechanism within him that will persist until the perceived threat is neutralized. On that night in 2011, Obama, standing before the world, humorously targeted Trump, tapping into a part of Trump's psyche that may remain activated for the rest of his life.

For those with progressive views reading this. Throughout my time posting on this board, I've consistently emphasized that the sole way to overcome Trump and MAGA is to cease mocking them and stop making fun of them! Consider what you're doing as akin to tossing dry wood onto a bonfire for amusement! Indeed, it may seem satisfying to ridicule them or label them as foolish, but if your goal is to achieve a favorable result that supports the causes you advocate for, you must avoid stoking a fire that could ultimately destroy you and everything and everyone around you.

The primary issue facing progressives is that progressive men are weak, exhibiting traits that may be perceived as overly sensitive. Ultimately, individuals are less likely to follow those who display vulnerability rather than strength. Trump and the Republicans are gaining strength as progressive men adopt more feminine traits! It's as straightforward as that!

The progressives will never overcome human nature, which has demonstrated over millennia that people are drawn to strength, as strength is associated with safety. Progressive men do not convey strength, they reveal vulnerability, and there is no security in vulnerability.

The bottom line is that if the Democratic Party aims to succeed in the future, they cannot do so without the support of men. Many men have become weary of the weak and overly sensitive portrayals that progressives have attempted to promote as authentic masculinity. Men of various backgrounds are departing from the Democrat party due to a perceived lack of genuine masculinity within its ranks! We require confident individuals who embody traditional masculinity and oppose progressive values, ideas like men competing against women in sports. We require individuals in the Democrat party who are prepared to tell progressives to quiet down and encourage them to establish their own party, as the era of progressive men drawing potential voters to the party has come to an end. Trump has effectively rendered all the progressive men as if they are dead men walking, much like zombies.

Is there anyone on the board who knows of a Democratic candidate capable of running against MAGA in 2028 and convincing MAGA supporters to vote for a Democrat? I currently do not have any information on that.

Here’s a video from the night when Obama essentially took it upon himself to challenge Trump to run. If Obama had possessed a stronger character and more life experience in navigating various personalities, he likely would not have mocked Trump in 2011, and as a result, Trump may never have pursued the presidency. In this video, observe Trump as you witness Obama's hand reaching into his mind, flipping the switch that activates the true Donald Trump. The switch remains perpetually on, and the progressives and Democrats still, after 14 years, fail to grasp that Trump desires them to behave precisely as they are, as it only serves to bolster him and the Republicans.

This sounds like a fairly honest explanation of why Hound likes Trump. Doesn't much interest me.
