Trump being hesitant to release the Epstein files at first and the death of Charlie Kirk did a lot of damage for both Trump and the GOP.
Let's start with the Epstein files. There was absolutely no reason for Trump to be hesitant in releasing the Epstein files. I think anyone with a brain won't argue against exposing some of the world's elites as a menace to society. But Trump thought it would be a good idea to not release the files despite promising he would during his 2020 election bid.
Why defend evil people? I don't understand what is it with boomers that think defending evil people in their ranks will somehow improve their image? You see this a lot with boomers where they think doing the right thing will somehow tarnish their reputations; whether it's religious institutions that defend pedophiles in their ranks or political entities that defend pedophiles in their ranks. You'd think doing the right thing would be something Trump would do to boost his public image but nope, Trump idiotically decided to defend a dead pedophile until he was forced to cave in after a lot of pressure from both the general public and pressure from both sides of the political spectrum.
Then you have Charlie Kirk. I think Charlie Kirk is the reason why the American Right hasn't got overridden with crazy skitzos from the Dissident Right because Kirk was a moderate that knew very well what would happen when you let lolcows like the Groypers be left to their own devices.
After he death of Charlie Kirk, there has been a power vacuum on who will lead the youth movement for the American Right and with Charlie Kirk being absent has shown negative affects for the American Right.
Take example the Heritage Foundation (the architects of Project 2025) to show how fucked the American Right is right now. The Heritage Foundation is a non-profit right-wing think tank that promotes hard line conservative values. But now it is imploding where their donors and supporters are abandoning ship because the president of the Heritage Foundation Kevin Roberts committed the biggest carnal sin in politics by being a filthy fence sitter.
After Tucker Carlson had his now infamous interview with Nick Fuentes (where Tucker Carlson's sponsors are leaving him now because his sponsors want nothing to do with Nick Fuentes), Kevin Roberts played filthy fence sitter where he condemned Nick Fuentes but then he defended Tucker Carlson which has caused a rift in the Heritage Foundation.
This didn't sat well with Jewish, Evangelical, and Catholic supporters of the Heritage Foundation where Jewish, Evangelical, and even Catholic supporters of the Heritage Foundation are now leaving the Heritage Foundation because Kevin Roberts defended Tucker Carlson along with his extremist rhetoric. The Heritage Foundation is imploding in real time because they wouldn't condemn the Tucker Carlson interview with Nick Fuentes (the Fuentes Curse strikes again where Nick Fuentes has ruined both Tucker Carlson and the Heritage Foundation now).
Seeing the implosion of the Heritage Foundation in real time is something Charlie Kirk wanted to prevent when he was alive because he knew how toxic the Dissident Right really is where their far-right lolcow ways will damage rather than help the American Right in general.
November has not been a good month for the American Right at this point. Donald Trump is tanking in his approval ratings, political lolcows like the Groypers are ruining everything they touch, and the GOP are clueless when it comes to the things Americans really want.
The 2026 midterm elections may be a slaughter for the American Right if they don't get their shit together in time.
I don't think I can blame Kiwi Farms for being so black pilled now.
