President Trump Must Protect His Legacy From The ‘Retard Right’

On the ten year anniversary of President Trump's Golden Escalator announcement, we must consider how the movement will endure when he is no longer there to hold it together.

President Trump is re-founding America.

When Trump descended the golden escalator this day ten years ago, he confronted a broken, calcified Republican party that was still in thrall to bad ideas and worse candidates. Trump took it by storm, in what I can only describe as the political version of a leveraged buyout, and then used his extraordinary powers as a turnaround artist to take the presidency, and both houses of Congress. Twice.

He literally redefined what it meant to be on the Right in America. He forced us to confront that a conservatism which seeks to conserve everything except the interests of forgotten Americans is not conservative at all.

And now, he is redefining American government. He has yanked power away from an unelected, un-American Leftist bureaucracy: a bureaucracy which tried everything in its power to stop him, and yet failed against the force of nature that is Donald Trump.

Unlike past giants of the Republican party, like Ronald Reagan, Trump didn’t have the luxury of inheriting a conservative movement primed for power. But he didn’t need to. He is the movement. And now, with nothing but the force of his personality, he is taking a sledgehammer to the false idols of Washington in the name of the American people. And in doing so, he is re-founding America, which is to say he is dragging America back to something our founders would actually recognize.

But while Trump is undoubtedly a great man of history, his legacy is still a work in progress. And not just his legacy as a president, but his legacy as the leader of the American Right. And it is here that his ability to be a one man army actually works against him. Because there will come a time when President Trump is no longer president. When new generations will have to carry on his mission.

So ask yourself: how will they know what that mission is? Who is going to define it when President Trump is gone? How will his movement endure when he is no longer there to hold it together?

To be honest, I’m troubled by the early signs. Because some of the loudest voices on the Right who claim to be the protectors of Trump’s legacy are exactly the kind of people who will ruin it. Nazis. Conspiracy kooks. Self-confessed criminals. Hucksters who think virality is a substitute for reality. Personally, I call them the Retard Right, not because they’re all stupid (though many are), but because they treat their audience as if they are. Which is why I refuse to believe they represent the majority of MAGA. MAGA is not stupid, and neither is President Trump. But because these people are so loud, they confuse many into thinking that they’re bigger than they are. Which means they’ve gained a lot of undeserved influence over the Right.

Let’s be quite clear: these people’s “loyalty” to President Trump is a mirage. They talk a great game, but their business model relies on dividing the MAGA movement. On doing nothing but complaining that President Trump isn’t going far enough even as they don’t lift a finger to help his movement. On stoking whatever their audiences believe, even if it drives most of MAGA – and America – away.

They aren’t capable of loyalty to anything but what keeps people watching. They are slaves to the whims of their audiences. And once President Trump is gone, their “loyalty” to him will not extend to his legacy if that legacy isn’t getting them the attention they want. They will drag the movement into a messy civil war; a death by a thousand clicks.

You need only look at this weekend’s developments in Iran to see the Retard Right in action. Before President Trump had so much as uttered a word, self-styled supporters of his started spamming “no new wars” on X, as if simply saying the words could ward off geopolitical reality. In fact, and President Trump knows this, one of the most important ways to stop new wars is to make the enemy too afraid to start them. Or do these people seriously think a nuclear state controlled by people who chant “Death to America” and fanatically follow a religion that views martyrdom as the highest honor would be bound by realpolitik?

But again, I doubt any of them has thought for one second about what would happen if anyone with power actually listened to them. All that matters to them is that “no new wars” does numbers on X, and never mind why. Though frankly, they aren’t even consistent on that; just ask them about invading Canada and see how quickly “no new wars” evaporates.

Which gets to the real problem with the Retard Right: for all their talk of winning, they’re basically dogs chasing cars. They want to win to prove a point, but have no idea what to do with power once they have it. They’re too stupid to wield it, so they inevitably fail in office. Which means they have to make their audience think their inevitable failures were caused by a conspiracy rather than by simple incompetence. They’re like Marxists forever whining that their philosophy has “never been tried” in order to avoid the simple fact that even they don’t know how to try it. That’s why so much of their rhetoric is aimed at stoking feelings of paranoia, disempowerment, and irrelevance by pretending that Trump’s victory has been somehow undermined or betrayed.

Just look at all the absurd claims that Trump has somehow been “bought.” Trump has been bought? Even the Left knows that’s impossible, which is why they hate him. Trump couldn’t be bought by the world’s richest man. Trump couldn’t be stopped by a bullet to the head. Trump does what he thinks is right without hesitation and without apology. The Retard Right is the opposite of that; they can’t even blow their noses without checking X to see if it’s popular.

That can’t go on. These people are poison for President Trump’s movement. If they rise to lead the GOP, it would be the surest path back to power for the globalists whom Trump defeated.

Remember, President Trump beat the globalists with two ideas which they tried to kill forever: nationalism and populism.

The globalists told us that populism meant lynch mobs, and nationalism meant Nazis. The elites of both parties willingly accepted this, because it made it easier for them to sell out the American people. And if the Retard Right gains power, those elites will be proven right. If the Retard Right becomes the face of the Right, then Americans will recoil. They will believe that President Trump was a Trojan Horse for the lynch mobs and Nazis the globalists warned us about. And they will vote the globalists back into power just to avoid them.

The Retard Right’s politics of inaction, subtraction, and distraction will turn President Trump’s mighty legacy into a source of annoyance and revulsion for every sane American.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. President Trump can stop it – in fact, he is the only one who can.

And the best way for him to do so is to bring these loud voices to heel. Either he must call them back to sanity, or if they refuse to be sane, he must cut them out of his movement before they destroy it. There is no place for low IQ losers in the struggle to make America great again, because there will be no patience with them in an America that is great again.
