Were the fake MAGA and the neo-con fake social media "influencers" ever really part of the America First coalition? Let them be exposed and discarded. The people are behind Trump.

Ryan, think of it this way.

Trump's in the kitchen, making breakfast. He's set an array of ingredients out on the counter, and everyone is wondering where he's going -- especially because, back in the audience, we can't see exactly what he's got there.

Just now, he broke a couple eggs into a skillet. They're starting to sizzle.

Is now the time to decide whether breakfast is going to be something worth waiting for?

I didn't think so. Give the man time -- time and again he's proven the doubters wrong, and beaten all odds. "They didn't think she would lose."

Never count the man out. How many folks after being shot in the ear, would stand and raise their fist shouting "Fight! Fight! Fight!" Not many, I think.

He's just getting started. People complaining about eggshells on the floor are taking the Cabal's bait. He has a plan; he always does. And he thinks much farther ahead than most people can. Those eggshells will be a distant memory once the dish comes out of the kitchen. Only then will we realize what Donald J. Trump has had in mind all along.

That is certainly the hope, and I agree with you that you should never count the man out. I'm riding this train to its conclusion; there's really no other option, to be honest. Like I said in the piece, I'm reserving my personal judgement because it hasn't even been a full year yet and there are so many forces working against him. We could be in a completely different situation a year from now. That being said, I still think it's worth unpacking the optics from each camp's perspective because then you know how to engage each type of person when you encounter them. A lot of folks are upset I even acknowledged the stated grievances of the various factions, but to be effective on the digital battlefield, I believe we really need to be aware of the various talking points, whether we choose to believe them or not. I am ever optimistic, but I have a habit of playing devil's advocate in order to strengthen my own argument, which I realize is not everyone's cup of tea.

Ryan, I totally get your thoughts, but in my heart. I believe DJT is the man we need now. The naysayers and the idiots on the right and left are just terrified that he is correct

I'm just a very old lady that thinks God put in him place for this time in our lives

I pray every night that God protects him and his family and the America that we love

Ryan DeLarme's avatar

I believe that he is too, I also believe we must be willing to make critiques and have open debate. Blind allegiance w out question is what liberals do. I think that the variety of opinion in the movement is actually healthy, instead of the cult-like uniformity of Democrats, we have competing schools of thought, which I believe is a strength and more natural. And you are right, no matter what happens, it’s all part of Gods plan, and I can’t pretend to know what that is.

Floridafan's avatar

Ryan, none of us know what God's plan is. I just believe in my heart of hearts God's Got This

Wild Bill's avatar

I appreciate your perspective, and in the end getting people to think is the most important goal.

Keeping alliances together, if indeed this is what is happening, is always a tough challenge. But there's an old saw that 'everybody loves a winner,' and so long as Trump keeps winning (and can keep his wins apparent in the face of hostile media), he'll be OK. And so will we 😉

Thanks Ryan.

Oh my gosh Wild Bill i soooo agree with you

Deb Hillyer's avatar

I couldn't read it because people were divided into groups. Just me…but then I saw you commented and had to read your comment.I think you said this so well. I actually don't follow politics as much as I listen to prophets. Prophets have predicted this about Trump…we may begin to question him…But these are my thoughts. This evil he's fighting is the ancient evil that derailed Adam and Eve. Ousting them isn't easy, or swift, as they've infiltrated every area of influence, and are clever. Trump is only the beginning of how we take back control. And division is the enemy's greatest weapon.

Wild Bill's avatar

Thanks for the comment, Deb.

Evil will be with us until the end times, when satan is thrown into the lake of fire.

Meanwhile we must decide how to live our lives. Knowing that evil is with us gives us an advantage. Evil can only take advantage of us if we give it permission -- and knowing it for what it is, helps us to see it and avoid doing so.

Evil is at its strongest, when we cannot see it and do not know what it is doing. It is clever, but God is stronger than any evil.

God, give us the awareness of the presence of evil, the wisdom to know how to fight it, and the courage and strength to prevail in the fight. Amen. 💖🙏🕊🕊🕊

I tend to agree with your assessment, Wild Bill, but I still have to question most everything. The Art of War explains why he has/is/and will make ‘odd’ moves. I always question, but still remain confident that God has gifted many for these times, Trump more than most.

Wild Bill's avatar

You're supposed to question most everything, ALtab. It is called discernment, and it is one of the things that makes Badlands different from most of the echo chambers on the internet. And we don't have to agree all the time, it would be kind of boring... and in the end, the truth will come out.

Meanwhile we can enjoy an omelet or two along the way. 💖🙏🕊🕊🕊

That’s exactly why you’re one of my go-to friends!!

People have got to learn to not be afraid of having different opinions. We NEED diversity of opinion. We encourage discussion. There are some groups you mention who are stoking this, they (con inc?) and the globalists and the establishment old guard have to destroy maga or die. When time to choose, How many of these “factions” would go back to Biden-era policies? Hows that for unity?

Sandra Levine's avatar

Our founders had open debate before forming our gov't. We need to keep it open and constructive and peaceful and respectful with reasonable thought.

John Visher's avatar

The war is between good and evil. Everybody, billions of us, see good and evil on our phones every day. The big lies don’t work anymore, the big narrative can’t survive on the Internet.

Elcellent read.

Thanks, Abigail. I know my habit of playing devil’s advocate to really understand someone’s perspective isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

Interesting array of views among voters who went with DJT. Humans are greedy, they want what affects them best, I guess. Not interested in the principles that founded this country. Have learned a lot of history from a variety of researchers since Nov 2020 when I thought was had a communist take over of our elections. Til they are made whole, we have no country, no matter where your ideas lie. Personally, I think this is a drama as Q has referenced in other words. Targeted to get the attention of various groups of citizens and votes. The D's and TDS voters that I know haven't been swayed yet. Something more has to happen, just waiting for that shoe to drop.

Thanks, Ryan, for the time putting all this together. I am trusting the greater plan and continue to work to get people out to vote. At my age, I am not the future of this country but can try to pass on to those who want a Republic, some knowledge when the show closes. I've learned fuller history of this country and the world now.

This is a gem of an article. Much needed during this time. Archiving this. This is how real journalism looks like.

A good assessment of apparent weakness in what we were promised would be delivered…. I have periodically questioned whether what we’ve seen is nothing more than a way to get we skeptics under control for the 2030 agenda, yet there has been much progress over the past 10 years that speaks otherwise. How much does TDS play into what we perceive as delays? Are the budding ‘relationships’ with Graham, et.al., that, or are they being drawn out into the light for exposure? Gen Flynn has valid questions and I agree with him. God knows for sure and I think next year has to reflect progress toward removing corruption and righting the size and power of government. Maybe the National Guard is readying for ???

A flood, however, can achieve that after years of drips…..

Thank you for asking the questions as they are valid, Ryan!

Does anyone actually believe the big-tent approach to political power works?

We keep hearing that in this war of good vs evil we need to keep this coalition intact and unified.

I have news for you, the committee approach to war never won any wars, ever.

As brutal as it sounds the “my way or the highway” approach is the only ‘unified vision’ which will be successful and Trump knows this.

The enemy also knows this, the Demoncrats operate this way, it’s only on the so call right that we seek plurality and consensus, things which might work during peacetime and when you’re not under attack every moment of everyday.

Whether you agree or disagree with Trump and his team’s approach is meaningless, there is a reason he’s taking specific approaches, he has info and Intel we don’t and he’s read into ‘the Plan’, while all the rest of us are not.

I’m with the Q popcorn eating crowd, I don’t really care what a dozen MAGA pundits with YT channels or substacks say, nor do I pay much heed to what the ‘crowd’ feels and believes.

The only part I play in this war is to speak the truth of what is happening and to maintain a degree of faith in the outcome of this war of attrition and survival.

Indeed this is a spiritual war and many on ‘our side’ seem to have forgotten that and have become mired in worldly outcomes.

Blah, blah, blah...you do not take GOD into consideration. HE is in control regardless if you acknowledge it or not. Trust GOD. Believe HIM. Have faith in HIM. HE told us what to do for HIM to heal our lands. All of the things happening are a mixture of individual ingredients that when combined make a great product. Trump is not nor ever was our savior. GOD sent HIS son for that. HE paid our death sentence for our sins IF we acknowledge who HE is and follow HIM and sincerely repent. Trump is an instrument that GOD is using. GOD wins. Better that Trump succeeds than the consequences if we do not listen to GOD'S instructions. Pray for Trump and his team. Quit being spoiled brats like the dems because you are not getting your way. GOD is fulfilling HIS promises of exposing things done in the dark to the light which is truth. Have patience. It is being done in the manner it needs to be done. Make sure you have followed all of GOD'S instructions before you condemn others, including Trump.

Awesome read. Great job in navigating the chess match. I like the way you think!

What a show. Trump and MTG in a kayfabe. If you don't see it by now... The same as he did with Sessions, Desantis, Bannon, Barr and so many others. As Joe Biden used to say "common man" 😂😎🐸

Ryan DeLarme's avatar

Since I’m not on the inside, all I can do is consider the possibilities. Maybe it’s kayfabe, but what if it’s not? The whole purpose of this isn’t to get people to doubt Trump, it’s to encourage people to think in a multivariate fashion, instead of marrying their expectations to a single possibility or outcome. I am still optimistic, but I’m an eternal sceptic at the same time.

Let's see what happens

Hello from France 🇫🇷, Ryan !

I've been one of those who thought this phony public feud opposing President Trump and MTG could be another Kayfabe moment.

I didn't react nor shared any view about this matter as long I didn't find another point of view, an opposite opinion ...

And today I find this article and I think it COULD be the right analysis, at least well-stacked and documented!

I'm curious to know your own take! 🇫🇷🙏🏻🕊️🇺🇲

"🔥 THE [TRAITOR] THRESHOLD | Why Trump Nuked [MTG] — And Why This Was NOT Kayfabe 🔥

🔥 Trump didn’t “troll” [MTG]. Trump EXCOMMUNICATED her — and the difference changes EVERYTHING. 🔥"

I think kayfabe is likely here, and if it’s not, Trump has already shown that he can make up with ppl at the drop of a dime (which is also supporting evidence for kayfabe imo).

🇫🇷 TRUMPist de La Fayette 🇺🇸's avatar

Hi Ryan ! 🇫🇷🙏🏻🕊️🇺🇲

Thank you so much for your clear answer !

I agree with you and think the single Q drop quoted in DS17 article could NOT suffice to justify the reality could be otherwise !

But I wonder what the actual goal of such a phony public distraction could be (it must be a significant one to decide using this level of political violence with such a major (AND controversial!) MAGA/America First figure like MTG!

Time will probably tell us the Truth …

Critical Thinker's avatar

Why amplify fake news and polls with an article like this? Slow news day....or is this just another example of the "MAGA is crumbling" FUD spreading?

It's All a distraction. When you devote your every waking moment to politics, you miss the bigger picture. These issues just keep us divided and occupied with playing the controller's game (which is rigged against us) while a larger agenda moves forward. The real agenda is the Great Reset which includes depopulation of the planet, the destruction of nation states and cultural history, and the creation of a transhuman hybrid controlled by AI. Digital ID, digital money, 15 minute cities and restriction of travel, all under the control of a one world government, are the goals of this movement. We must detach ourselves from the system and REFUSE to play the game if we are to survive as a species.
