Tulsi Gabbard called Adam Schiff, John Brennan, and others demanding Domestic War on Terror "also domestic enemies."
She is going all in on anti-regime politics.
She is going all in on anti-regime politics.
The gamble is that the 65 percent of Americans who distrust the media can be fashioned into a new majority -- in spite of the fact that Big Tech is already in the process of denying them the means to constitute themselves as a public rather than a rabble
Hard to know whether she is take in by the LARP -- or whether she sees the future and is ready to ride the tiger to where it is headed.
Can she or anyone who is not Trump thrive on the basis of being universally hated by elites?
What she has for now is the support of Joe Rogan, a figure with an audience at least as large as that commanded by the mainstream media. In 2016, we saw how much that mattered in the Democratic party primary. (Very little)
But will the 65 percent grow and the rump of the 35 percent, which includes everyone who matters and wields power in America, dwindle to the point of inanition?
A lot of that depends on whether Schiff and others seeking DWOT get their wish
Some months ago @mattyglesias tweeted that he would support a politics focused on multi-racial hostility to college-educated elites. It may actually come into being.
It also may not! If the suburban white respectability voters that pivoted to Biden at urging of Lincoln Project really are able to be lulled to sleep content with the world by Biden, then Never Trump has won America for another generation
And the Rogan show and the people it attracts are just a mimeographed pamphlet of unusually wide circulation
One thing is clear, though: anti-regime politics as a cultural phenomenon has huge growth potential and will attract the best comedians and creatives as the Cringe Apocalypse continues apace https://twitter.com/duddersj/status/1354910636115849216?s=20
Russiagate taught us that the relevant films to describe US media and natsec elites are not All the Presidents Men but Burn After Reading and Network -- so it will go for DWOT
