The Long-Awaited Defenestration of the Philosopher Kings

JJ mentioned this but I really wanted to post about it.

I've seen some establishment-oriented "conservatives" using Tuq'r Qarlson and Nick Fuentes and Withered Aryan Hooker Me-Again Kelly as proof that we should never have aligned with "the populists."

Nonsense. There are bad apples in every bunch. And in case the establishment pussies didn't notice, it was the populists -- not the establishment c**ts whom no one trusts or respects -- who drove the bad-actor Nazis and Islamists out of the party.

Jonah Goldberg and David French and the Bulwark Krue did not exorcise Candace Owens and Ian Carroll from the movement. We did.

I mention this because the establishment and populists disagree sharply on one fundamental point of representational governance.

The establishment types, like the "journalists" whose good opinion they so desperately crave, falsely believe that they are some really smart customers. No one believes they are smart, except for they themselves. But they are absolutely convinced on this point. They have argued with themselves about how genius they are and they won that argument with themselves, because they're so wise and persuasive.

This leads to their theory of respresentational governance: We, the stupid people who are incapable of higher-level, abstract, future-oriented thought, have elected these Sages and Philosophers to do our thinking for us.

When we elect these c**ts, that is the end of our involvement in the political process. Our further thoughts are not welcome because we are so gosh-darn bad at thinking we would just exhaust the lucid minds of Philosopher Kings with our retarded ramblings. The establishment does not seek our counsel, it only seeks our grant of power to it, One Time, after which they will literally never again check in with us.

And I say "One Time" because of the fact -- which may be changing (Spoiler Alert) -- that once an establishment c**t has Conned the Rubes into granting them perpetual unchecked power, they essentially have it for life, or until they're found balls-deep inside a 15-year-old boy, because it's very hard to boot an incumbent out of office, particularly in a district or state that is strong for one party.

Contrasting with this theory of governance in which the brain-damaged troglodytes of the dirty masses grant power to establishment Philosopher Kings a single time and then let them do what their massively-powerful brains and consciences compel them to do, the brain-damaged troglodytes have a different theory altogether.

We don't think we elect these pissant mediocrities to do our thinking for us. We think we've done the thinking ourselves. We think we've done the thinking, and we elect these no-talent, no-accomplishment Student Council Vice Treasurers and Disappointed Theater Kids to heed our thinking and merely do our voting in legislative bodies for us.

Now I realize we probably "think" this because our Retard-Brains are glitching and misfiring as usual, but still, we would like to be heard on this point.

But, because it's almost impossible to get voters animated enough to vote these self-declared Philosopher Kings out of office in one-party states or districts, the establishment types who believe we've elected them to do our thinking for us been permitted to carry on acting as if we elected them to do our thinking for us, and we have not had any practical, repeatable method of correction and punishment for this grievously false conception of their role in government.

Until now, my fellow morons and brain-damaged troglodytes who have no capacity for higher-level thought.

The Philosopher Kings serving as state representatives and senators in Indiana, which, let's face it, is the government equivalent of a job as Arby's Night Manager, decided that comity with the Democrats and the good opinion of the leftwing media was far, far more important that the voters' decision that redrawing congressional districts was imperative as we close in on the most important midterms in a century.

The voters finally got their say. We won't get those lines redrawn, but we will have no representation going forward.

President Trump proved to be a kingmaker in Tuesday night's Indiana and Ohio Republican primaries, where his seal of approval propelled several GOP candidates to landslide victories.

In Indiana, Trump's revenge campaign against incumbent state senators who torpedoed his push last year to redraw the Hoosier State's congressional boundaries was largely successful -- with the president's preferred candidates winning five of six contests.

"Everyone in Indiana politics should have learned an important lesson today: President Trump is the single most popular Republican among Hoosier voters," Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) said in a statement.

I'm not so big on praising Trump here, because I didn't really elect him to do my thinking for me, either. But he's right on this issue and extremely right on the question of disciplining and ejecting arrogant, defiant "representatives."

"Indiana is a conservative state, and we deserve conservatives in our State Senate who have a pulse on Republican voters," he added.

That, on the other hand, I agree with 100%.

...

The victories by Trump-backed candidates were decisive.

Trevor De Vries topped Indiana state Sen. Dan Dernulc by a 75%-24% margin; Tracey Powell beat state Sen. Jim Buck in a 65%-35% race; and Brian Schmutzler and Michelle Davis defeated state Sens. Linda Rogers and Greg Walker, respectively, by 18-point margins.

The first incumbent taken out by Trump was longtime Indiana state Sen. Travis Holdman, who has been in office since 2008 and is a member of Indiana Senate leadership.

Holdman was bested by Blake Fiechter by a 61%-39% margin.

At press time, Indiana state Sen. Greg Goode was the only incumbent opposed to redistricting who was able to fend off a Trump-backed primary challenge.

Goode defeated Brenda Wilson in the state's District 38 primary, where a third Republican candidate in the race, Alexandra Wilson, received about 10% of the vote.

The White House had pressured Alexandra Wilson to get out of the race ahead of Tuesday's primary, reportedly over concerns her candidacy would confuse voters attempting to cast ballots for Brenda Wilson.

The base isn't stupid. Rule #1 of being a Republican officeholder: do not weaken your own voters' electoral power.

Some Indiana State Senators thought they were clever and didn't have to obey this rule. They will be private citizens shortly.

No Murkowskis:

Indiana has a sore loser law.

They can't run after losing a primary.

This mewling sissy says it's "unchristian" to vote him out of office for refusing to do what the voters demand of him but also adds that he's "not bitter."

Go to hell, Fake Christian Narcissist. Christ did not mandate your re-election.

Go finger your buddy David French up the ass and whine about how the swine-men of the GOP just don't appreciate your brilliance enough.

You have that in common with Barack Hussein Obama. In fact, you've got a few things in common with Barack Hussein Obama.
