Want to see an ongoing demoralization campaign in real time? Look to the California governor’s race.
Polls show Democrat Xavier Becerra leading Republican Steve Hilton by double digits, and some Republicans already seem to have decided the race is over.
Friends and acquaintances keep asking me, “Dex, what do you think of the governor’s race?” My answer is simple: ignore the polls, get out and vote.
That question is rarely about the candidates themselves. They’re really asking, “Is Steve Hilton done?” The only useful response is to reject that premise and show up.
Hilton is not a full-throated MAGA supporter. Despite President Trump’s endorsement, Hilton has deliberately downplayed that support to reach undecided and moderate voters.
Given Trump’s supposed weak numbers in California, the strategy is understandable, even if it frustrates conservatives who want a more aggressive fighter. Whether that tightrope walk ultimately helps or hurts Hilton remains to be seen.
Hilton’s performance in the Sept. 30 debate with Becerra is beyond doubt. If you missed it, you can watch the full debate on YouTube. Hilton dominated.
He hit Becerra with hard facts, including his failure as HHS Secretary to account for hundreds of thousands of missing migrant children during the Biden border surge. He also reminded voters that Becerra once gave Gavin Newsom an “A” for how he handled California’s homelessness crisis.
Becerra largely stuck to the familiar script: Trump will take away abortion rights, and Trump’s policies will close clinics, and so on. He stayed on message and avoided major stumbles, which is why liberal pundits declared him the winner. But Hilton landed sharper blows and refused to play defense.
Afterward, a quiet media effort seemed to bury the debate. For a major gubernatorial matchup, it drew surprisingly little sustained discussion. Becerra has also declined a second debate and limited his public appearances: an approach that feels familiar to anyone who watched Joe Biden in 2020.
None of this changes the fundamental point. Polls and media narratives routinely suppress conservative turnout by convincing people the outcome is already decided. That is the real trap.
Hilton may not be the MAGA candidate many California Republicans prefer. However, Hilton is the first serious chance, in over a decade, to begin breaking Democratic control of the state. That is worth fighting for.
Patriotic Californians cannot afford to sit this election out. Give the finger to the narrative that your vote is worthless because the polls say Hilton cannot win.
To quote Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe’s reply to the Germans’ demand for American surrender at Bastogne: “Nuts!”
Whenever we read or hear about demoralizing poll numbers aimed at conservatives, our response should be: “Nuts!”
Americans never quit when it all seemed lost at the Battle of the Bulge during World War II. Their weapons were artillery and small arms fire.
Now, the weapons are our votes. With that said, do everything you can to defeat the enemy. Get out and vote, whether by mail or in person!
If you sit out this midterm because some conservative influencers say it’s a wasted vote, or if you vote Democrat because gas and diesel prices are high, you are being played. Get out and vote!
If your vote or apathy hands either chamber back to the Democrats, you are giving the globalists exactly what they want. Get out and vote!
I am aiming this piece at Republicans and at Democrats who have not yet fully surrendered to the hive mind. If you are angry with President Trump over fuel prices, step back. The same forces that have spent years trying to break him are manipulating you.
The dirty little secret is obvious to anyone paying attention: global speculators deliberately keep these prices elevated because of worries about war. Could this also serve to influence the midterm election?
Regardless of the motive, gas and diesel prices will come down afterward. Book it.
President Donald J. Trump is the most pro-energy president in modern history. “Drill, baby, drill” is not a slogan for him; it is policy. He has already put more oil on the market through actions in Venezuela and the ongoing campaign that is choking Iran’s ability to close the Strait of Hormuz. Yet the media, the Democrats, and a handful of grifting “America First” voices are working overtime to convince you that Trump is the reason you are paying more at the pump.
The real drivers are global speculation and calculated disruption. Every time Iran fires on a tanker or launches another missile, the markets spike.
Iran is holding out not because it has a winning hand, but because high U.S. fuel prices are its best remaining hope of putting Democrats back in power to restrain Trump. Ukraine’s strikes on Russian diesel refineries serve the same purpose :raising prices so voters blame the White House. (They also suit those in Europe who still want a wider war with Russia.)
What does it say about the Democratic Party when a U.S. enemy and longtime terrorism sponsor roots for its success?
Iran is on the ropes. America is applying both economic and military pressure. The only real question is when Tehran taps out, not whether.
The most likely window is after the midterms: precisely when the political incentive to keep prices elevated disappears. Relief will come then.
But this election is about far more than the price of a gallon of gas.
This election is about whether Trump finishes restoring American sovereignty over our borders, energy, industry, and foreign policy. He is rebuilding the American System of domestic manufacturing, abundant energy, a strong military, and prosperity as the foundation of national security.
For over fifty years, globalists and the deep state were systematically dismantling that system. They shipped manufacturing overseas and restricted energy production in the name of climate ideology. Then these new world-order types told Americans we were now a “service economy.”
That was managed decline, weakening every nation-state’s ability to act in its own interest. This, so global institutions such as the UN, the WHO, and the various “international” courts could claim the final say. President Trump is reversing that decline. Those who benefit from the old order are desperate to stop him before the work is complete.
High fuel prices are their temporary tactic to demoralize you. Do not fall for it. Show up and use your power at the ballot box. Remember, there are more of us than them. We show up in overwhelming numbers; we win.

Be prepared. Look and listen. Steel your mind, because a massive Psyop is being waged against you.
Case in point: AI.
A little over a month before the midterms, have you noticed a recent uptick in doomerism and blackpilling about this new technology? It’s about as subtle as a fart in an elevator full of people.
AI is going to destroy humanity, to paraphrase this hyperventilating news cycle, which all began with doomsaying prophecies from three key Anthropic figures. CEO Dario Amodei is calling for AI industries to slow the pace of development out of concerns about serious risks; Evan Hubinger, a top safety/alignment researcher, is convinced there is a greater than 10% chance that AI “could kill all humans” within the next decade; and Jacob Coxon, a researcher, recently resigned after saying AI could cause human extinction by the end of the decade.
But never fear, Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders has drafted legislation to have the federal government regulate AI. Former President Barack Hussein Obama is urging Democrats to make AI the centerpiece of their platform. AI companies are calling for government regulation. So-called “America Firster” Steve Bannon is even supporting Bernie Sanders’ AI regulatory legislation, and Netflix is preparing to air an anti-AI documentary.
Coincidence? That’s laughable. Coordinated is more like it.
First, a frightening declaration of impending doom on social media, made by tech developers so disgusted by what they are part of that they resign, goes viral, triggering multiple media reports. All of a sudden, Sen. Sanders, an avowed socialist, announces his legislation calling for massive government regulation of AI.
Then, right on cue, some private AI companies begin begging for government regulation of their product, citing their fears of what the technology could become.
Finally, the light-bringer, Obama, steps out of the shadows and offers a solution to fear: more government. You could see this coming from a mile away: a setup for a Democrat/globalist false flag, like the COVID lockdowns.
The Democrat/globalist playbook runs like this: flood the airwaves with fear-stoking news reports, roll out a documentary starring their preferred experts on the so-called invisible threat that only they can solve, then stage the frightening event that conveniently arrives right on schedule. They think we’re fools.
They’re the fools.
Here’s the reality: Whatever the media, leftists, and conservative turncoats support, my knee-jerk reaction is to oppose it. If this unified force of anti-Americanism tells me to fear something, it must be beneficial. I see an ever-growing number of patriotic Americans sharing this view.
Why, after numerous examples to the contrary, are we to now believe that Obama, Sanders, and the legacy media are looking out for us?
Also, private companies are so worried about their creation that they are begging the federal government to regulate it? That makes no sense.
I’m no cynic, but experience has shown that money and power motivate elitists. When you understand their inherent lack of benevolence, the motives behind their pontifications begin to make sense.
For instance, large AI companies calling for government regulation mean they want to choke out smaller competitors. They want to eliminate consumer choice and create a monopoly.
Think realistically: AI is happening, and nothing can stop it. The question is who will control it. If the United States doesn’t, then China, the EU, or some other rival of America will dominate by default.
Who would you rather have holding the reins of AI?
This is not a new tactic. It follows years of globalist fear campaigns: from the environmental movement, the 1970s population explosion scare, the 1980s ozone depletion panic over aerosol deodorants and hairspray, Y2K, climate change, and the COVID lockdowns. Each time, the left ginned up fear and panic over a future or invisible enemy, pushing people to believe only the experts had the answers.
In every instance, the experts’ solutions led to less personal and societal freedom through arbitrary regulations and proscriptions. And speaking of COVID, many of you may remember that Netflix aired a documentary on pandemic preparedness in January, just weeks before the Wuhan outbreak and the WHO’s declaration of a global pandemic.
The globalists are trying to plant those seeds again: this time with AI. The manufactured emergency could arrive before the midterms or the 2028 presidential election.
This false flag might target banking and utilities, or it could hit closer to home: cell phones, personal computers, smart TVs, or everyday appliances. Whatever form it takes, globalists are telegraphing their playbook.
They always do.
The game plan is the same: an invisible virus threatens humanity and only government and the global elites can save us. What is different this time around is that more people are on to this ruse.
Stay vigilant. Reject the fear. Do not let their coordinated campaign of demoralization succeed. MAGA is winning, and they know it.
Everything hidden is coming to light. What was once whispered in private is now unfolding in public.
Light illuminating secrets
Narratives experts and the media told us to accept as settled truth are collapsing in real time. Across politics, economics, and the courts, more Americans are scrutinizing the official story and saying, “You know what? We have to start questioning everything.”
Take the election system. Many of us suspected that expansive mail-in balloting was an open door to fraud and abuse.
We discussed it among ourselves while the official line basically said, “Nah… it’ll be fine.” Yet now, blue states fight hard to keep their voter rolls out of public view, with California, New York, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania among the most determined.
Why the secrecy if the process is as clean as they claim? After all, the gap between their talk about protecting minority voters and their refusal to provide basic transparency is hard to miss. In the end, their protests no longer sound like principle, only concealment.
We lived through the COVID lockdowns and watched local, state, and federal power expand with little restraint. Government officials and the press censored dissent, telling us to shut up, trust the experts, stand six feet apart, wear masks, and shut down our lives “to keep us safe.”
Years later, the record is clearer: many of those measures were arbitrary. Worse still, they did real harm to children’s development, closed small businesses, damaged the economy, and left a lasting residue of fear.
Those so-called paragons of knowledge turned out to be nothing but hacks. Granted, they have the degrees, yet that doesn’t make them wise. In the end, critical thinking still matters more.
Now, some sixty years after the civil rights movement, we see the fruits have turned rotten: most notably with the destruction of the black family. Rampant crime scars predominantly minority neighborhoods in our major cities. Young black males commit a share of violent crime far out of proportion to their numbers. Race hustlers keep peddling the same story of permanent American villainy and black victimhood.
A growing number of Americans are rejecting the guilt trip. We are tired of grievance activists labeling us racists simply for refusing to be ashamed of America and its great heritage.
The same pattern appears in the climate crusade. What globalists sold as planetary salvation has too often been a means of restricting energy production and industrial strength in the West. President Donald Trump has made the point plainly: refusing to develop our own oil and energy is not virtue. It is a threat to national security and sovereignty.
As patriotic Americans, we can no longer go about our business assuming government overreach is someone else’s problem. Therefore, get involved if you can. And if you cannot engage directly, still offer prayers to God for this nation.
The need for a recovery of Christianity in this country is clear, for the secular push of the past 50 years has plainly failed. The Founders did not create a theocracy, yet they built America’s laws and jurisprudence on a Christian moral foundation.
Freedom and ordered liberty do not sustain themselves. They need the principles that once undergirded them. Those who despise this country often despise the God and the faith that shaped its best instincts. Their hostility to the Constitution follows. That hostility is not abstract. It is a clear and present danger.
The Democratic Party and the permanent apparatus that protects it have too often traded in division, grievance, and contempt for the nation’s founding principles. Institutions that systematically exploit anger and erode the moral and constitutional order are not merely mistaken. They have become corrosive.
Before you can treat a sickness, you must first assess its extent: this holds true for a country as well as an individual. The cancer of corruption has run deep in America, spreading through all of our once-trusted institutions. Yet we are seeing it more clearly than ever, and as a result, we are finally taking the steps needed to rectify the spiritual and moral rot.
Praise God. The right things are beginning to be done about it. Everything hidden is coming to light.
Blackpilling and doomerism, courtesy of America Firsters. By the way, do you even know what blackpilling is? Do you know what a doomer is?
They are the same thing. And you need look no further for current examples than certain so-called “America First” conservative influencers who appear determined to fracture MAGA.
I had heard both terms tossed around without clear definitions, so I looked them up. Here is the distilled reality:
Blackpilling (or “taking the black pill”) is internet slang for adopting a deeply pessimistic, fatalistic worldview. It means accepting certain harsh realities as permanent and concluding that personal effort, self-improvement, or political change is ultimately pointless. It builds on the red-pill/blue-pill metaphor from The Matrix: • Blue pill: remain comfortable in the illusion. • Red pill: see unpleasant truths about society, power, and culture. • Black pill: accept those truths and decide nothing can be done about them.
Hope itself becomes the delusion.
Doomer is the personification of that outlook: someone who believes society, the economy, culture, or civilization is in irreversible decline and that things will only get worse. The mindset blends hopelessness, inevitability, apathy, and dark humor. It stands in direct contrast to any activist or optimistic stance.
The common denominator is hopelessness.
It is bad enough that legacy media and the Democratic Party push this blackpill/doomer mindset. What makes it particularly corrosive is when it comes from voices once trusted by the right.
During the Obama and Biden years, many patriots turned to these influencers for clarity and a measure of hope. Even as policies weakened the country and eroded constitutional norms, those voices validated people’s observations and feelings. That trust was earned and is now being spent.
From left to right: Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes
The clearest examples right now are Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and Steve Bannon. Bannon is the instructive case.
Unlike some of the others, he rarely attacks Trump directly. He does not deploy “anti-Christ” rhetoric the way Tucker Carlson has, nor does he call for the 25th Amendment the way Alex Jones repeatedly has. Instead, Bannon targets administration figures, Kash Patel and others, as incompetent or as feeding the president bad advice.
The effect is the same: it plants the idea that President Donald J. Trump is being manipulated by those around him. Coming from voices whose audiences are overwhelmingly MAGA, the tactic is especially effective at sowing doubt without requiring an open break.
Whatever the individual style, the product is uniform: no optimism, little acknowledgment of tangible successes, and a steady drip of doom. Recent coverage of operations involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz serves as a case study. The dominant message from this group has been fear: President Trump is losing, nuclear war is imminent, and boots are about to hit the ground.
Largely absent is any serious discussion of the strategic upside: disrupting a critical global energy chokepoint and weakening adversarial regimes that have long served as proxies for broader anti-American interests.
Why now, with the most consequential midterm election in a generation approaching? Undermining the most pro-American president in living memory seems strategically self-defeating for those who still claim the “America First” label.
The practical alternative on offer is not some purified movement; it is Democratic control of one or both houses of Congress. Treating President Trump as functionally indistinguishable from Biden or Obama is not analysis; it is propaganda.
Motives are fair game for speculation. Are some of these voices influenced by foreign money that benefits from American division? Are others simply resentful that the president does not take their advice? Those questions remain open precisely because the daily output is so consistently hostile to the administration their audiences elected.
President Trump’s 2024 victory was not complicated. Americans looked at open borders, institutional DEI, managed economic decline, and the deliberate stoking of racial and gender division and decided they had seen enough. They voted for a hard stop. Turning around two years later and telling those same voters that their choice was a catastrophic mistake is not tough love. It is blackpilling and doomerism.
What happens when a state engages in such blatant election manipulation that no one, even in their own party, is surprised anymore? When the pattern is so predictable and mechanical that citizens shrug and wait for the inevitable reversal?
I’d argue we’re witnessing the death rattle for California’s entrenched, one-party ruling class and perhaps a broader signal to the national political establishment.
As I write this, it’s four days after California’s June 2, 2026, primary election. Election officials are still counting votes. According to the latest updates, only about 57% of the gubernatorial ballots have been tallied, and the process is still underway.
And here’s the familiar story unfolding in real time: The more conservative-leaning candidates (Steve Hilton for Governor and Spencer Pratt for Los Angeles Mayor) have been steadily losing ground as additional waves of mail-in ballots are “counted.” As of Saturday, June 6, Republican Steve Hilton has lost his lead and is now trailing Xavier Becerra for the top spot in the gubernatorial primary, while battling Tom Steyer for the second advancement position. In the Los Angeles Mayor race, incumbent Karen Bass continues to lead, but Spencer Pratt’s second-place standing is eroding as third-place finisher Nithya Raman gains ground with more mail ballots.
President Trump has directly called out the situation, accusing Democrats of trying to steal the gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral primaries. He has publicly stated that there is “BIG cheating by the Dumocrats in California,” highlighted the suspicious delays, and confirmed that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles has launched multiple election-fraud investigations into the matter.
The Mail-in Magic Trick
Why is it that mail-in ballots so consistently break dramatically in favor of Democrats? In race after race and election after election, the in-person votes lean one way on election night, only for the narrative to flip as absentee and mail ballots roll in over the following days and weeks.
Coincidence? Or a feature of a system that rewards delayed, less-observable voting and has minimal verification safeguards?
This isn’t paranoia; it’s pattern recognition. Californians have seen this movie too many times. The state’s top-two primary system was supposed to foster competition and moderation. Instead, it has delivered one-party dominance and policy failures on housing, crime, taxes, homelessness, and energy costs, along with a slow-motion vote-counting spectacle that erodes public trust with every passing hour.
Steve Hilton, the former Fox News host and conservative reformer with bold ideas to make California “Califordable” again by slashing regulations, cutting taxes for working families, and tackling the housing crisis head-on, was performing strongly in early returns. Similarly, Spencer Pratt, the outspoken reality TV star-turned political disruptor, shook up the LA mayoral race by challenging the establishment.
Yet as more mail ballots are processed, the momentum shifts. Sound familiar?
Rigged Isn’t a Conspiracy: It’s the System Working as Designed
Let me be direct: This election process is rigged in favor of the incumbent power structure, California Democrats. This, through a deliberately opaque, drawn-out system that advantages its control over the bureaucracy, the counting process, and the narrative.
Democrats have mastered the mechanics of prolonged vote counting. They know the psychology: Initial shock on election night gives way to exhaustion and resignation as “updates” trickle in. By the time the final tally arrives (sometimes weeks later), the public has moved on.
But here’s what the ruling class doesn’t seem to understand: People are waking up. The apathetic fence-sitters, the low-information voters, and even many traditional Democrats are reaching their limit.
The Universal Law They’ve Violated
Even if Democrats manage to pull off another “miracle” and deny Hilton and Pratt victory, they will have only hastened their own demise.
Why? Because they’ve violated something far more powerful than partisan loyalty: the deep human belief in fairness.
“Cheaters never win.” This isn’t a right-wing talking point. It’s a moral intuition shared across cultures, ethnicities, religions, and political affiliations. Parents teach it to their children. Societies build institutions around it. When leaders flagrantly flout this principle, when elections feel predetermined by mail-in sorcery rather than the will of the voters, it doesn’t just create political opponents. It creates enemies of the system itself.
The ruling class has spent years dismissing concerns about election integrity as “baseless.” They’ve mocked skeptics, censored discussion, and doubled down on mechanisms that maximize opacity. Now, in deep-blue California, even their own voters are noticing the emperor has no clothes.
Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt
Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt represent something dangerous to the establishment: outsiders who speak bluntly and tap into widespread frustration with failing governance. Their strong showings, despite the headwinds, reveal cracks in the blue wall.
The Awakening Has Begun
This primary isn’t just another election. It’s a catalyst.
Every suspicious ballot drop, every delayed count, and every smirking dismissal from officials further awakens the apathetic. The fence-sitters who tuned out are paying attention now. The normies who just wanted a competent government are realizing the game is fixed.
And once that realization spreads, it’s incredibly difficult to reverse. Democrats, you’ve built a machine that delivers short-term victories at the cost of long-term legitimacy. You’ve governed California into crisis after crisis while insulating yourselves from accountability. The bill is coming due.
The collapse of your unchallenged rule isn’t inevitable because of any single election. It’s inevitable because you’ve offended the most basic human sense of justice. People will tolerate a lot, higher taxes, failing schools, visible decay, but they won’t forever tolerate feeling like their voice has been systematically stolen.
The ruling class’s endgame is approaching. With the Trump Administration watching closely, their repeated claims of safe and secure elections will now face real scrutiny through federal investigations by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
No longer can people simply shrug and look the other way. Not with a bang, perhaps, but with the quiet, unstoppable momentum of millions who realize the system no longer serves them.
Depending on the outcome of these investigations, the question isn’t whether the corruption will continue. It’s how much longer Americans will tolerate it before they demand and enforce real change. In the meantime, pray for California and America.
___________________________________________________________ What do you think? Is California’s vote-counting process broken beyond repair, or is this just how “democracy” works in one-party states? Share your thoughts below.
Is California a hopeless, failing state? Left-wing lunatics have all but destroyed California, plunging it into a downward spiral of crime, over-taxation, rampant homelessness, and the exodus of the wealthy to other states.
California faces wildfire displacement and homelessness emergencies amid population decline.
Misery is the only bumper crop from two decades of leftist rule in the Golden State. We went from leading the nation in educational standards to nearly the bottom, thanks to Democrats. All leftist policies have given California residents is the most expensive gas in the nation, a weak power grid, and the inevitability of annual wildfires.
All of this is what two decades of leftist rule have produced in the Golden State. What can reverse this decline? We’re talking about over 20 years of leftist rule at the state, local, and federal levels in California, doing nothing but running the state down and driving industry and the wealthy out.
All in all, this state seems like a hopeless case and an impossible situation to overcome.
For ordinary people, California’s problems seem insurmountable. However, with GOD, nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37).
I believe this because there remains a remnant of Bible-believing Christians who haven’t moved out and still inhabit various areas throughout the state. Why is this such a big deal? It’s because Bible-believing Christians possess prayer, the greatest catalyst of change ever created, and many are skilled in it.
A group gathers outdoors at sunset to pray for California with the city skyline behind them.
Prayer is more than a religious ritual; it is a direct, intimate conversation with GOD. Please note that when I say skilled, I don’t mean someone with great oratorical talents or the ability to recite scripture from memory. No, a skilled prayer warrior is simply someone who is obedient and has placed their faith solely in GOD.
I believe GOD has placed in our hearts the desire to pray for many things. Perhaps you are that Christian whose heart GOD is calling to pray for the nation, a city, or a state. Or maybe GOD has called you to pray imprecatory psalms against evil. If you are that believer, or even one who has not considered these terms before, I urge you to begin immediately and earnestly. All GOD-fearing Christians living in California need to dedicate themselves to repenting of sin, humbly seeking God’s face, and calling for His mighty hand to revive this dying state.
If you don’t believe me, read 2 Chronicles 7:13-16:
“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. 16 I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.
For context, God speaks to Solomon after he has completed the temple, but that does not diminish the power of these verses. Remember, as Christians, we are GOD’s temple (1 Corinthians 3:16), and He dwells within us through the Holy Spirit; therefore, He is just as attentive to our prayers.
Keep in mind that nothing happens without God’s allowance, including the leftist ruination of California. However, we, as Christians — our lives ransomed by Jesus through His death and resurrection — reflect God’s light in the darkness that has permeated California.
Any sins we engage in that have become normalized must be confessed to God and repented of, first and foremost. In this way, God will hear from heaven, forgive us, and heal this state and this nation.
Is California a hopeless and failing state? Only without GOD is it. And we Christians, through prayer in GOD’s will, definitely have a role to play.
Influencer is a word I’ve come to notice and dislike instantly. When you hear the term social media influencer, doesn’t it sound Orwellian? As if someone is openly admitting they are there to shape how you think.
A speaker connects minds with an audience symbolizing unified consciousness and collective voice.
As Americans, we should be bothered by that. Hell, it should piss us off.
There are influencers across the political spectrum, but for this piece, let’s focus on the so-called conservative influencers.
What I’m about to say may irritate some people, but many conservatives became vulnerable to influencers because we spent years being vilified by the media and mainstream culture. We were labeled racists, sexists, bigots, and homophobes simply for holding views that, not long ago, were considered normal American opinions.
As a result, conservatives became eager to rally around anyone who sounded like they were finally articulating what we were thinking. The moment someone appeared intelligent, confident, and willing to fight back, we granted them credibility almost automatically. We quoted their podcasts, shared their clips, and repeated their talking points in conversations as if they were gospel.
Over time, I realized that many of these figures were not truly leading a movement. They were managing an audience.
Some of these influencers say just enough to keep people emotionally invested while steering them away from meaningful action. They keep the audience angry, engaged, and constantly consuming content, but rarely move beyond that. It’s like slowly releasing steam from a pressure cooker just to make sure it never explodes.
People start believing they are fighting for the country after spending hours listening to podcasts, watching clips, reposting commentary, and arguing online. But consuming political content is not the same as political action. At some point, outrage becomes entertainment.
In recent months, many people began noticing cracks in the façade as several prominent conservative figures started turning against President Trump and attempting to fracture MAGA support. You know the names: Candace Owens, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Ben Shapiro, and others.
Clockwise from left to right: Candace Owens, Megan Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Nick Fuentes and Alex Jones
Carlson especially stands out to me.
I remember telling friends around 2020 that something about Tucker didn’t sit right with me. This was in the aftermath of the 2020 election, when millions of Americans were questioning the integrity of the vote. Whether or not people agreed with those concerns, I felt Carlson seemed unusually eager to move on from the subject and redirect attention elsewhere.
At the time, I even submitted a piece to a mainstream conservative website questioning Tucker’s loyalty. Apparently, the article struck a nerve, and the site’s head published a counterpiece alongside mine. Not going to lie, I started second-guessing myself afterward. I wondered whether I had unfairly criticized the guy or misread the situation entirely.
Then Fox News fired Tucker, and for a while I thought maybe I had been wrong. Some of his independent work was genuinely solid. I even wrote publicly that I might have misjudged him. But his recent attempts to divide MAGA only reinforced my original instinct.
And that’s the main point of this article.
If your gut tells you something about a public figure feels off, don’t ignore it just because that person is popular, polished, or constantly praised online. You do not owe blind loyalty to influencers, commentators, or political celebrities.
The word influencer itself should make Americans uncomfortable.
We are descendants of people who rebelled against kings, crossed oceans, fought wars, built businesses, raised families, and carved a nation from the wilderness because they refused to be controlled. Americans were never meant to sit around waiting for internet personalities to tell them what to think.
Despite all the propaganda meant to convince us otherwise, we are not helpless, weak, or stupid.
Trust your instincts. Think for yourself. And take everything influencers tell you with a grain of salt.
Congratulations, Democrat Party. You have demonized President Trump to the point that your most extreme supporters have deluded themselves into believing that assassinating him is equivalent to killing Adolf Hitler.
Go ahead. Keep denying your harmful rhetoric to your mainstream and social media champions all you want. We, the American people, now hear what you are hoping for.
Alleged would-be Trump assassin Cole Thomas Allen runs through a Secret Service checkpoint at White House Correspondents Dinner on April 25,2026
What you appear to hope for is that one of your deranged followers does your dirty work, giving your party plausible deniability. Let me clarify what I mean by “party” before I go any further in this piece: I mean the Uniparty, the globalist elite worldwide.
The Democrats are the gatekeepers of the globalist agenda in America: driving manufacturing out of the country, making this nation energy-dependent on foreign nations, creating sociological divisions, replacing capitalism with socialism, vilifying white people, aborting babies, ravaging the younger generation with fentanyl, legalizing marijuana and mainstream pornography, destroying the family, eliminating Christianity as the foundation of morality and law, corrupting justice, crushing the concept of merit, and using education as propaganda.
Quite a list, isn’t it? What’s more, I ask what this portends for America?
In a sane reality, this political party and the ideology it represents would be seen as the soulless, demonic enemies of this country and the free world. If you don’t believe me, compare the policies of Democrats and globalists with those of President Trump. He’s begun removing illegal aliens, starting with the most dangerous, and is making the country energy independent, returning manufacturing, reducing crime, stopping the flow of drugs into the country, growing the economy, securing elections, celebrating Christianity, re-establishing the Constitution as the foundation of our law, and honoring the Founding Fathers. He’s also removing us from NATO, the Green New Deal, and unequal trade deals. Most importantly, Trump is upending the geopolitical and economic framework that has destroyed the wealth and prosperity of average, hardworking Americans.
Are these policies fascist dictates from a would-be king? That’s what globalists, Democrats, and Republicans in Name Only (RINOs) are feverishly trying to convince you.
This is America First playing out before us in real time. We are also witnessing the abject fear and hatred among the global economic elites who will lose trillions of dollars if Trump’s policies take hold and become irreversible.
This is why Trump is vilified 24-7 in the global propaganda media: he is an existential threat to their system.
Folks, this is no longer a matter of right versus left or of Republican versus Democrat. We find ourselves in the middle of a battle between good and evil. This is not a mere cliché or a hyperbolic description that dismisses the humanity of the other side. No, this is a comparison of two opposing values.
Patriotic Americans value the rule of law grounded in the Constitution and in Bible-based morality, revere the flag, celebrate American history, respect the hardworking, taxpaying American citizen, and honor the family based on marriage between a man and a woman. The Democrat Party, in its current state, reflects the policies of its globalist fellow-travelers, who hate America as founded (including the Constitution and the flag), want government to overrule the family, twist the law to celebrate perversion and punish those deemed enemies, despise free speech, loathe the 2nd Amendment, protect criminality, smear their enemies as racists/fascists, disparage biblical Christianity, demonize the police and military, foment chaos and rage, promote lies as truth, and have no qualms about using violence to achieve their ends.
How many times over the years have you heard these hypocrites bitching and moaning about the need for more gun control? That is, until three would-be assassins failed to kill President Trump. Then, social media is abuzz with a certain segment of leftists who are pissed off that these wackos couldn’t complete the task.
According to a 2025 Rutgers University study, half of those identified as left of center had no problem with someone murdering Elon Musk and President Trump. A 2025 YouGov survey revealed that over 20 percent of self-described younger and very liberal Americans believe political violence is justified, compared to just 6 percent of conservative Americans.

A radical and dangerous element has taken over the Democrat Party. I know the proper description is “Democratic” but that association has nothing to do with the current party. That’s why I just say Democrat Party. Moderates are looking around and realizing this is not the Democrat Party of their parents and grandparents. Hence, they are leaving in droves. Stone-cold communists and Marxists are calling the shots in this party. They have nothing to offer but fear, intimidation, slavery, and wrath.
The masks are off, and more people are seeing what the left has to offer and want no part of it. Congratulations, Democrat Party. You not only succeeded in demonizing your enemies but also, in your hatred, managed to demonize yourselves.
Just a reminder for you Liberals. Your party is the party of violence. Openly calling for the destruction of President Trump and anyone who dares to disagree with you. Sickening and Pathetic!!

The Goal is to suppress voter turnout for the midterms
You’ve heard the claim: MAGA is fracturing. But what if that MAGA “fracture” narrative isn’t organic: what if it’s being sold? In other words, pushed, amplified, and repeated to create the very disengagement it predicts?

The media keeps repeating it. Political insiders echo it. Even some conservative voices are starting to lean into it. The message is clear: Trump supporters are supposedly turning on him, disappointed, divided, and ready to walk away.
I don’t buy it.
What I see instead is a coordinated effort to create that perception: loud enough, constant enough, and emotional enough that people start questioning what they already know to be true.
Because that’s how you weaken a movement. If you can’t defeat it outright, you convince its own people it’s falling apart. Over the past few months, the talking points have been everywhere: • “Trump is too focused on foreign policy.” • “He’s ignoring the economy.” • “This isn’t what voters signed up for.” • “Nothing’s happening fast enough.”
You’ve probably heard some version of this from friends, social media, or commentators who claim to speak for the base.
But step back for a second.
Who is actually pushing this, and why now?
If you look closely, a lot of this “internal criticism” is being amplified by voices that were never fully on board to begin with. Some of the loudest critics today were openly skeptical, or outright hostile, to Trump in previous cycles. Now suddenly, they’re positioning themselves as protectors of the movement, warning that it’s lost its way.
That should raise an eyebrow.
At the same time, legacy media outlets are more than willing to spotlight every disagreement and frame it as evidence of a civil war. We’ve seen this playbook before: selective amplification, repetition, and narrative framing used to shape perception rather than simply reflect it.
That’s not accidental. Division is the objective.
If enough Trump voters believe that the movement is fractured, or that Trump has somehow “betrayed” them, the outcome is predictable: people disengage. They sit out. They tune out right when it matters most. And that has consequences.
If Republicans lose one or both houses of Congress in the midterms, the policy agenda stalls. Gridlock returns. And the door opens, again, for endless Democrat investigations and political theater.
Now let’s talk about the substance behind the criticism.
Conservative influencers tell us Trump is failing on the economy because his focus is overseas; that this isn’t what voters wanted.
But what do the underlying trends suggest?
The United States is attracting major investment in the energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors, which are directly tied to long-term economic strength. Capital flows, domestic production, and industrial investment don’t move on headlines; they move on fundamentals. And right now, those fundamentals point toward continued energy development and the reshoring of key industries.

That matters. That’s not narrative, that’s tangible economic direction.
On foreign policy, the concern has always been endless wars: open-ended conflicts with no clear objective. Voters are right to be wary of that. But limited, strategic actions are not the same thing as the prolonged nation-building efforts that defined the last two decades. That distinction rarely makes it into the headlines.
Here’s the bigger point: movements don’t collapse because of disagreement. Disagreement is normal. It’s healthy. They collapse when their own people start to internalize a narrative built to weaken them in the first place: when frustration turns into disengagement.
Right now, there’s a clear effort to shape perception, attempting to turn uncertainty into doubt, and doubt into apathy. And that’s where voters need to be careful.
MAGA has grown stronger over the past decade and is certainly not as fragile as some would have you believe. However, anti-MAGA forces are trying to convince enough people to lose confidence at the exact moment their participation matters most.
At some point, it comes down to a simple choice: Trust what you’re seeing, or trust the narrative being handed to you. And history shows those aren’t always the same thing.
Oh, and one final note… If you’ve been hearing the “fracture” narrative everywhere lately, it’s worth asking: Are you seeing it? Or are you buying the narrative?
