Black Pilled, Red Pilled, White Pilled
Election Day is Here! A decade of political awakening and a WHITE PILL for TRUMP 2024
A seemingly endless and incredibly bizarre campaign is finally drawing to a close, and with the end of the campaign, hopefully, a new Golden Era will begin.
Black Pill
When Donald J. Trump emerged on the political scene almost 10 years ago, I tuned into politics for the first time, and social media and YouTube were right there to inform me. I religiously tuned into every segment of MSNBC, CNN, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Trevor Noah that was uploaded onto YouTube. I read articles in the NY Times, the Washington Post, and the rest of the legacy media. I felt well-informed, and completely morally righteous when ranting about the Orange Man and what a threat he was, while also treating him as a joke.
After all Trump, according to all of the Professional Experts, was dangerously unprecedented. The things he said, the words he used, the mere fact that someone who had never stepped foot in DC dared throw his hat in the ring - It was preposterous, and surely no serious person could take Trump seriously.
I was well and truly inside the bubble. It didn’t matter what arguments were made to the contrary - I listened to the Experts™. By the time Election Day rolled around in 2016, I was phone banking for Hillary. I was ready to stay up all night here in Israel while the vote came in, watch the first female be elected President of the United States, and celebrate.
As we all know, that’s not exactly how it played out. The night progressed with increasing dread, as the channels that I tuned into went from joyous celebration to somber mourning. At around 7 AM my time, they finally called the election for Trump. I ran upstairs to wake up my sleeping husband and cried to him that Trump won. He promptly let out the biggest laugh I’d ever heard. He thought it was the funniest thing that ever happened. When he asked me why I was so upset, I answered completely sincerely that Trump’s going to be really mean to the Mexicans, in that subtly racist way of liberal women.
Over the next few days, we absorbed the shock of the political earthquake we had all experienced. My husband patiently listened to me cry that the world was going to fall apart and then he told me to snap out of it. He said the media bubble I was trapped in was full of actual garbage and they lie nonstop. He’d said it before, but I couldn’t hear it. Now that Trump was President-Elect, my mind slowly opened to the possibility that the legacy media wasn’t all I thought it was. After all, everything they had said about Trump’s odds of winning was dead wrong.
Red Pill
It didn’t happen overnight, it was a slow process. I began to cut back on watching the bobbleheads at MSNBC and CNN and replaced them with people like Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin, who was going through his own political awakening at the time. A Trump hater would say I fell down the conspiracy theory, right-wing YouTube rabbit hole. By the time Donald Trump was inaugurated in January 2017, I approached his upcoming term with cautious optimism.
Shortly after his inauguration, Trump gave a 90-minute press conference in a room in the White House in front of gold curtains. For 90 minutes Trump went to battle with the press. They were nasty to him. They twisted his words, assumed his intentions, and phrased questions in an inappropriately biased manner. I watched Trump handle the media with logical answers, good humor, and patience. I watched him speak without CNN injecting a dark filter and evil intent over small clips taken out of context.
I remember sitting glued to the TV, ignoring the kids’ bedtime, unable to turn it off. When it was finally over, I turned to my husband, full of newfound optimism and a different kind of naivete. I said that Trump was so good at that press conference, that surely now CNN will have to admit they had been wrong this entire time. Once again my husband laughed at my naivete and we turned on CNN, where sure enough they had full panels of Experts furiously discussing Trump’s tie.
That was pretty much the last straw, and as anyone here who has gone through the “redpill” process knows - once you break out of the media bubble and you can see who they truly are- you can NEVER unsee it.
Once I was free from MSM tentacles, Trump was president and everything felt bright. I learned the values and tenets of conservatism and libertarianism through books, podcasts, shows and debates. It felt like things finally made sense, once my mind was open enough to consider the arguments.
It was a breath of fresh air, because it made sense. It was based in reality.
The misery of the BlackPill world of legacy media is that it’s impossible to be truly at peace with yourself if you’re constantly at odds with reality. Living in the doom of believing that Donald Trump is a democracy-threatening, Hitler-admiring dictator like figure is beyond miserable, and the misery must be exacerbated by the fact that hundreds of millions of people around the world don’t live in the same doom, and actually love and appreciate President Trump.
As the Trump years went by, the economy boomed, comedy was edgy again, and Trump himself was the funniest president we’d ever had. He killed top terrorists and then killed it in the press room, where his “died like a dog” comment will live in comedy forever. He brought the Middle East to the brink of peace, and opened tourism between Israel and Arab countries that boomed (in a good way). It was fun, it was light, Trump Tweets were in full force, and I remember actively thinking that I don’t know what lies ahead, but I did know that the Trump years would forever be remembered as a Golden Era.
Black Pill Again
By the 2020 presidential election, the entire campaign process was practically stunned into silence and sidelined by COVID Tyrants. Biden was able to pull off campaigning from his basement, while the country was depressed, demoralized, out of work, under the boot of out-of-control government health agencies, and lonely.
With extremely questionable circumstances surrounding the process of casting and counting votes, Biden took office in 2021, and gave the health tyrants full range to crack down even heavier on the nation, enacting mandated vaccines that destroyed people’s livelihoods and destroyed people’s lives.
It’s been memory-holed so badly that it feels like a lifetime ago, but in the beginning of the Harris/Biden presidency, the nation continued to suffer horrendously on a personal and national scale. Mothers were home with children for months on end, sometimes stuck in tiny apartments with no garden and taped off parks. Kids with special needs broke down from the lack of routine and so did their mothers. Babies were masked, kids were quarantined, teenagers were depressed, and the elderly were lonely. That all started under Fauci who basically overpowered Trump, and got worse during the BIDEN/HARRIS administration. They loved the power and did not give it back until the people wrestled it back for themselves and said enough.
Meanwhile, in the post-COVID Biden administration, the economy tanked, wars broke out, prices are through the roof, the education system is in the dumpster, and the COVID depression and fallout linger on.
Under the BIDEN/HARRIS administration, sanctions on Iran were lifted, billions of dollars flowed into the Islamic Regime, and Hamas came into our homes here in Israel, and slaughtered and kidnapped our people. Hezbollah, the Houthies, Iran all attacked and continue to attack the only tiny Jewish state in a region that is a sea of Arab nations.
I could not have said it better than Shabbos Kestenbaum, who perfectly summed up the strengths of Trump vs the weakness of Biden/Harris regarding Israel during a podcast on Zev Brenner:
WHITE PILLS
Finally, there was a light at the end of the tunnel of the horrendous Biden years. Trump began to emerge from the shadows and throw his incredible voice into the conversation once again. Although the left-wing media cannot understand nor see this, Trump radiates light and optimism through REALITY. He addresses the issues that are actually causing pain to the American people, and he proposes solutions.
The media generally cut out or ridicule the “solutions” piece, while gaslighting their viewers that the issues Trump raises do not exist or are minimized and brushed aside. They paint him as a big, scary doomsday guy, while in reality - he’s just mirroring people’s concerns and offering to help.
The media then tries to turn the Harris campaign into a groundswell of sudden joy brought about by the candidate that’s been ushered in by the Machine with a horrendous cackle and not a single vote cast in her favor.
Here come the White Pills, and maybe in 48 hours I’ll be eating these words and sad, although I PRAY we get to celebrate tomorrow night:
1. Elon Musk Bought X
This campaign was different. Legacy media is on it’s death bed and people see through the BS. Elon Musk bought Twitter, and opened the floodgates for the most incredible conversation and information sharing platform in the world. By our grandparents standards, what we have with X is miraculous.
X is now the #1 news app in countries around the world. No longer are journalists revered and respected simply for getting a byline in the NY Times. Journalists now must earn their audience’s support with authenticity and accuracy. A NY Times byline may even be detrimental to one’s reputation, because the reader will be skeptical as to how much the organization injected its own interests into the piece.
X is the ONLY platform where anyone who’s anyone will have an account. Where a small account with a banging message can be seen by millions.
I think the floodgates opened by Elon Musk released a nation of lions who are laser focused on taking their country back from the brink of insanity. Whether it’s social media warriors who are far more effective at spreading the MAGA message than their counterparts in old legacy media, or people like Scott Presler who singlehandedly criss-crossed the nation registering countless voters. People are out there doing incredible work, and it’s making a difference.
2. Learning from Mistakes
President Trump has expressed that he’s learned from his experience in Washington during the first term. The DC Machine has abused him so badly, from lawsuits to memory-holing assassination attempts, that unlike the first time around, Trump knows exactly who will try and sabotage his agenda. Trump appears to understand the dangers of insane governmental overreach, and seems committed to getting federal agencies under control.
3. The Unity Ticket
Donald Trump has pulled together an ALL-STAR team. JD Vance, Elon Musk, RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy are a team we could have only dreamed of a year ago. They are pulling together a huge coalition of voters from all ends of the political spectrum.
I want RFK Jr to take a sledgehammer to the federal health agencies, and Elon Musk to rip through the govt’s budget, and do as he said and put together DOGE- the Dept Of Govt Efficiency.
4. Huge Independent Voices
People like Bill Ackman and Elon Musk are openly supporting Trump, with well thought out reasoning. They are also reporting that almost all of the independent voters they know who voted for Biden in 2020 are casting their ballot for Trump this time around. It’s not taboo to be a Trump supporter anymore.
5. Peanut the Squirrel and Garbage
Finally, memes. Memes tell a story in a way that sometimes words can’t. The Harris/Biden administration could not have summed up the threat of their overreaching policies better than raiding the home of a dude with a beloved pet squirrel, treating him and his wife like criminals, and killing the pets he’d had for 7 years. On the heels of Biden calling Trump supporters garbage and the media running cover for him, the memes write themselves.
Time to Bring This HOME
The day has arrived. The momentum is huge, as is the pressure. The pollsters can yap from today until tomorrow, but until polls begin to close on Nov 5, none of us knows what’s going to happen.
Religious Jews are overwhelmingly supportive of Trump, with likely over 80% of the Orthodox Jewish vote going for Trump. My social media and whatsapp groups are flying with memes, and prayers for Trump to win. Energy levels and excitement are high.
I’m praying for a slam dunk. I’m praying for a landslide so big that any shenanigans will be drowned out by the votes cast by the American people. I’m praying that the vote for Trump will be so loud it will leave absolutely no doubt in anyone’s mind- the American people voted for freedom and prosperity.
GO VOTE and bring friends- it’s time to bring this home.
Great post- thanks for the share!
Brilliantly written piece.
