One thing Im curious about is how much standard republicans talk about how important it is to lose with grace. My own personal conspiracy theory is that there are people pushed on us that are just pied pipers. They might win some meaningless culture war battle every once in a while, or pass some legislation that benefits some major corporation (that donates billions to Far Left advocacy groups) but on the major issues, they dont fight and just give the appearance of fighting. They role over and lose and to placate the crowd and make them docile, they just shrug their shoulders and morally chastise us for not losing with grace.

Release valve, gatekeeper, controlled opposition, whatever you want to call them. They're put there to make it seem like there is another side to any given issue, but to also make sure that side isn't pushed too hard and to make damn sure nobody steps outside of the false divide.

Imagine two lines of people standing opposite of each other, both trying to get into the same building. At the front of the line on the left is a body guard who lets people in the left line through with no problem and at the back is a person with a megaphone getting more people to join the line. On the right is a person who keeps people in the line out of the building with another person in the back keeping people from even joining the line. Now imagine someone saying "fuck this I don't want to be on either line" and getting removed by all 4 body guards. That's how our bank run political theater operates.

Neocon is another word for globalist communists, look at the inception of the Neocon party we have now and you'll see who started it. They ARE controlled opposition.

Was it GHW Bush who started it? Or does it go back further than him?
