There is a group of people who have embedded themselves into right-wing politics despite not even really having any real right-wing beliefs themselves. These are people who could perhaps be understood as possessing a kind of neurotic temperament. These are people who are very sort of subversive by nature. They kind of tend to embody a sort of culture of critique among them. I am of course talking about the Black Pillars. These are people who have infested the online right, who have infested right-wing politics in the wake of the greatest political comeback in history and was only one of the questions I get all the time as I go to war against these people is, okay, John, but realistically, come on, are you just being too optimistic? I mean, what if these people have a point? I would argue that to be a true Black Pillar, you have to be looking at objectively the same situation and perhaps think that you would put your bets on the not so good outcome as opposed to the good outcome. You would be maybe more reality aligned than someone like myself who is overly optimistic. I disagree. I don't even think that we're dealing with that kind of person. I think we are dealing with somebody who is like as a matter of temperament and disposition, unstable, treacherous, just completely insane essentially. So I will give you the case against Black Pilling today. We will have a little bit more of a conversation about that. Also, Trump endorsed Hispanic woman candidate for Congress comes out and makes a commercial saying that we have to stop mass deportations to the extent that they're even occurring. Then remember how like a week ago, everybody was attacking young men for not wanting to be replaced by foreigners in their own country? Now, they're making predictions as to where that's going to lead, and they've decided that it is going to lead to a kind of pagan genocide against the unborn. And then all of my old Twitter nemeses are coming out of the woodwork to say, I had a feeling this was the case when Trump refused to endorse a fully pro-life position in 2024 It's just a matter of time. These people are insane. We alone can save them. Do stay tuned.
Hello there, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to The John Doyle Show. You know, going into midterms, I'm seeing this online from people I'm not expecting to be seeing this online from. Everybody is like ringing the bells of defeat in a way that's in accordance with their pet issue, where it's like, you know, you didn't listen to me on this, we're gonna lose, and you know, frankly, we deserve it. You didn't listen to me on this, well, you should have. This was all avoidable. We could have won the midterms, you know, breaking that trend that tends to happen where the president's party loses seats. We could have broken that for the second time in the last, what, 60 years, had you only listened to my Twitter timeline. And they're all like just fundamentally misunderstanding what even happened in 2024 that apparently we're gonna be like punished for failing to live up to.
You know, young men shifted massively to the right, but that shift was mostly among like Hispanic and black men. You know, Hispanics are now obviously worried about deportations, as we're gonna discuss in a little, in a minute here with Hispanic Congresswomen running for election in Florida, basically calling on the leader of their party to maybe ease off that a little bit. And then black people are still living in a kind of, you know, recession. And so we're not exactly expecting them to remain loyal right wing demographics. People want to put 2024 as an election on the back of young voters, but this is just unfortunately not the case. You know, the Trump 2024 voting coalition was literally as a matter of statistic, the oldest it had ever been. So white young men might stay Republican, they might move slightly back towards Democrats. Hispanic and black men, however, these younger guys, they're gonna massively shift leftward, especially as this is, you know, plays out down ballot, like young voters are already primarily voting Democrat as that is concerned. But I think that we all are kind of misunderstanding this because the media wanted the election to be about the youth for a few reasons. Firstly, it tells Democrats, hey, you know, you really need to lean into these youth issues. And what does that mean? It means being more radical, giving into the theater kids, the ascendant theater kid class. It also gets to do another thing where you get to paint the young white guys as being the villains yet again. Why did Trump win? It's the youth, which is to say we need to listen more to the free Palestine people, DSA, theater kid types. And then also they went for Trump because they're scary white guys. We have to talk about demagification. We need to basically sigh out these people into giving up their birthright and so on. And then lastly, it also absolves them of responsibility for being stupid and unpopular because it frames the election loss in 2024 is basically like, oops, Teehee, we forgot to listen to the podcast, bros, we should have done that. It's kind of like how they were happy to start, you know, throwing Biden under the bus for being senile, following their loss in 2024, or even they were throwing Kamala under the bus saying the transition was stupid, it was sloppy. But they're only doing that because it's a way of explaining their loss through a kind of like mechanical error, a kind of strategic error, rather than admitting that their vision for the country sucks and actual Americans hate it. The influencers too, especially in our sphere, they really wanted the 2024 election to be about the youth because obviously if you're trying to build an audience of young right-wingers, then yeah, you know, suddenly you'll find yourself sharing establishment media puff pieces about how the youth is the future, etc.
