I got asked a lot of questions this weekend about mainstreaming and my wavering support for Donald Trump and MAGA at the 2025 American Renaissance conference.
Unfortunately, I think my ambivalent position on Trump and MAGA seems to baffle a lot of my readers who don’t understand why I can sharply criticize Trump one week, praise him the next week, blackpill out and vote against him in 2020, whitepill out and vote for him in 2024, stop supporting him during the summer, praise him during the early fall, sour on him yet again as winter approaches, etc.
In the Trump era, there are two types of Trump Derangement Syndrome. There are Trump cultists who can’t handle any criticism of him whatsoever and who unfollow, block and shout down people as “Panicans” who criticize him for things like how he has mishandled the Epstein Files. These obsequious types treat their Glorious Leader like a North Korean dictator. At the opposite extreme, there are the blackpillers who are addicted to being depressive losers and who are ideologically opposed to giving Trump credit for anything he has done that is positive like quelling illegal immigration at the border.
I’m somewhere in the middle between these two camps.
I pissed off the Patrick Casey crowd because I dislike MIGA and Israel which is why I quit supporting Trump over the summer when he bombed Iran, opposed releasing the Epstein Files and started the purge of Thomas Massie. I’m not indifferent to the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. I repost the gruesome videos coming out of these areas on X almost every day.
I pissed off the “NS” blackpillers because I am practical, willing to acknowledge the positive things Trump has done and refuse to buy into their delusion that they can lose their way to the Fourth Reich. I also refuse to go along with their insistence on basing their entire political project on anti-Zionism. I don’t like or support Israel, but I believe what happens over there is less important than domestic issues.
Last year, I wrote a series of articles that explained in detail why I was voting for Trump in the 2024 election. The very first article that I wrote was about the importance of moving beyond his cult of personality. Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election didn’t break his hold of his cult of personality on the American Right. If he lost the 2024 election, he would just say the election was stolen from him. He would run again in 2028. He might still have enough support to win the Republican nomination. I thought the single most compelling reason to vote for him was to get the Trump era over with by 2029. The only way out of our predicament is through by letting Trump’s cult of personality run its course in a second term. Trump is now constitutionally ineligible to run for a third term by the 22nd Amendment.
Over the weekend, Trump’s attempt to purge Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie was another reminder of why I can never be more than a lukewarm supporter:
1.) Trump is attempting to purge Massie and MTG for his Jewish donors.
2.) Trump has enthusiastically defended and endorsed the worst people in Congress like Tom Cotton, Lindsey Graham and Randy Fine.
3.) For years, MAGA has been a cult of personality that is purely about glazing Trump’s ego, not an ideological movement based on a vision of the American future. As a result, Congress is full of people like Byron Donalds or Tim Scott who will revert to being establishment Republicans once he is gone. Trump has gone out of his way to destroy the careers of people like Jeff Sessions and Mo Brooks. This is his last midterm election. Randy Fine will sit on the “MAGA” bench he leaves behind.
At the same time, the fact that we are even having this fight which has been ripping apart MAGA for three weeks now is itself a symptom of how far support for Israel has plunged on the Right and across the American electorate. It wouldn’t be happening without the Iran strike. The Iran strike wouldn’t have happened under a Kamala Harris presidency. Even if Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene lose their primaries, the issue isn’t going away. Israel will be the rock that splits Trump’s base.
