@sickburnbro No William F Buckley this time, no effective gatekeeper to stamp out the Pat Bucannon's and Birch Societies. No ability to control the narrative and flow of information. Younger people don't give a hot shit about the Holocaust, and hardly any of that demographic care about or believe in Dispensationalism/"our greatest ally" nonsense.

The word magic has run its course. Now there is only money and blackmail, and without Americans having some kind of sympathy for them, money and blackmail will keep engendering more and more resentment. So yeah, Levin and Shapiro and the rest are starting to yell and stamp their feet in angry frustration. The control they enjoyed is slipping through their fingers, and there's no practical way for them to get it back.

The only thing they could do to stop the building resentment among Americans (stop the killing in Gaza, stop trying to control so much of the politics in the US, stop being so pushy and arrogant, trying to integrate into their host population, etc.) simply isn't going to happen. Serious self reflection and general humility seems like it's impossible on a genetic level.
