➡ Trump’s success lies in his ability to attract both rural white voters and urban non-white voters, a feat no other politician has achieved before. This support is driven by these voters’ belief that they, like Trump, are victims of a rigged judicial system. Despite the legal challenges Trump faces, these situations only seem to strengthen his support base. This phenomenon is causing a shift in the political landscape, with Trump’s chances of winning the presidency increasing post-verdict.
➡ The article discusses the current state of society, where the rule of law is seen as broken and everything has become highly partisan. It suggests that this is a result of the death of political liberalism, leading to a fragmented society with competing identity groups. The author mentions a growing desire for retribution among some groups, particularly those who support Trump. The article concludes by suggesting that this situation is leading to a crisis of legitimacy, with people feeling alienated from public and cultural institutions.
➡ Americans’ trust in major institutions like the government, legal system, and media is at an all-time low, with 80% believing the justice system favors the wealthy. This lack of trust is causing a crisis of legitimacy, especially after a recent verdict that has further divided the public. Many fear this could lead to internal conflict and a loss of faith in the legal system. However, some see this as an opportunity for a new era of traditionalism and liberty to rise from the ashes of the old liberal order.

The secret. The secret sauce, as it were, to Trump’s success is that he’s currently doing something that no other politician has been able yet to do. He’s galvanizing the rule white vote like no presidential candidate before him. And at the same time, he’s galvanizing what you would think is the polar opposite political demographic, and that’s the urban, non white vote. In fact, he has the highest urban, non white vote support of any republican presidential candidate in half a century, since Richard Milhouse Nixon. And the question, of course, is why? Why is Trump attracting so many, particularly non white voters, who normally vote Democrat? And the irony is, we have MSNBC to thank in terms of having done a study on this.

MSNBC, of all places, recently did a report on black voters in Georgia who are supporting Trump. And the voters they interviewed there said that they knew dozens of fellow blacks who always voted Democrat, who are now voting Trump because they believe, get this, Trump is being victimized by the very same rigged judicial system that so many of them believe they’ve been victimized by. And ironically, it’s the same with rule voters. We have a number of studies that show that rule voters feel completely and totally disenfranchised and shut out from the political injustice systems in our nation, comparable to the way urban, non white voters feel.

Now, let that hit you. This is the irony, the wicked irony of all of this weaponized legalism. It’s actually making Trump stronger. You have got to get that. I know so many of you are upset right now. I know so many of you are livid, and so many of you are angry. But you need to understand this fire that we’re going through. You need to understand that it is, ironically, refining the weaponized legalism, this law fair is actually making Trump stronger. It’s putting Trump and what we’ve been calling on this channel, his political sweet spot. It’s maximizing the white rule vote for himself, all the while minimizing the urban, non white vote for Biden.

So if that’s the case, if Trump has galvanized the world white vote and the urban, non white vote largely as a reaction, as a backlash to this lawfare, as they see Trump as a victim of the same rigged system they see themselves victimized by, if that’s the case, what the hell do you think will be the result of this verdict, this rigged conviction? His support will only skyrocket, and it will only skyrocket because of this political sweet spot, precisely because of the very lawfare that the Democrats thought would result in his demise. What happened yesterday, and that again, that venomous verdict in that partisan bloodlust coming out of a once great but now total shithole city, what happened yesterday verdict only served to further galvanize the american people across the regional spectrum, rural voter and urban voter, white and black, latino and asian, men and women, to rise up against a system they believe is rigged against them.

And that’s exactly what we’re seeing happening today. Take a look at this. This is the betting odds on polymarket last night. Take a look at the compare April 15 to now, post conviction. At the bottom, Trump’s chances of winning the presidency actually went up post verdict. He’s now opened up an 18 point lead over Biden, and the Biden in the betting odds after the verdict was announced. The betting market sense that something is happening here and there is. And I want to further unpack that for you by sensing, or rather exploring the terrible resolve side of the awakened sleeping giant, right? So those are the two frames of reference to understand what’s going on here.

We’ve got an awakened giant, right? An awakened giant around what they perceive to be an unjust system, bringing together rural voter and urban voter, and then at the same time, it’s awakening a terrible resolve. So let’s talk about that resolve. What do they, this, what does this awakened giant want now? Now, what we have to understand here, gang, this is very important. I want you to write this down. We’ve talked about this before, but if you haven’t gotten it now, you need to get it. We have to understand that we’re living in the midst of what scholars call post normal times.

How’s that for a descriptor? Accurate descriptor for our days, that we’re living in post normal times is based on the work of the pakistani scholars Zayd and Sardar. A post normal time is a time of enormous transition. That’s what you want to get when you think post normal, think transition. It’s a transition from an old era that has come to an end, a literal end of an era, and a new era that has yet to fully rise, that has yet to mature. The old era, whatever it is. And that’s key. We’re not the first ones to live through post normal times, right? Populations throughout the centuries have lived in between an old era and a new era, right? But the old era, whatever it is, the old era is dying away, and a new order has yet to establish itself.

And so it’s a period of time, it’s an interim period between the no longer and the not yet. And for us specifically, what’s unique for us in terms of the time we’re living in, is that the old order that’s dying away. You know, this is the liberal globalist order. This is becoming more and more, frankly, unanimous among scholars. The old liberal, secular globalist order is dead now. It continues to lag on through institutions. We’re going to talk about that. That’s a very important part about post normal times. Okay? That old order continues to lag on in institutions that give us, like Joe Biden and the ruling political establishment.

But make no mistake, that old liberal globalist order is dead, even though it continues to live on in the institutions and the new order, what scholars call civilizational populism, a new world rising where populations are returning to nation, culture, custom, and traditions. The world of Maga. There’s a world of the european right. This is the world of civilization. States throughout the world, it is rising, but it has yet to establish a new norm, a new normal. So we’re post normal, and this is key. This is what you have to get. We’re post normal in that whatever we’ve considered normal in the past is now basically gone.

We can’t rely on anything in the past to make sense of the present, precisely because the past operated according to norms that no longer exist today, and that the societal order that the normal was indicative of has basically died. But we don’t have a new normal yet in the rise of the new world that hasn’t taken over yet. So we’re in this interim period of a. No longer in a. Not yet. We’re in an extraordinary period of turbulence and chaos where very, very little makes sense. That. Gang. That’s why I’m your patron, professor, right? I help you.

What. What do I do? What do I do each day? I help you stay sane in these insane times. That’s not just a tagline. That’s post normality. That’s really what’s happening here. Trying to make sense of nonsensical times. Now, the key to making sense of post normal times is understanding the three characteristics that always accompany post normal times, and they’re known as the three c’s. Complexity, chaos, and contradiction. Right, write that down. Complexity, chaos, and contradiction. Analyzing what’s happening in relation to those three c’s will help us understand what’s really going on here in terms of the kind of resolve that this awakened giant we’re seeing will have.

Now, I just want. On today’s video, I want to focus on two of those three. Complexity and contradiction. Because those are the ones that I keep seeing. I think we all get the chaos right, the chaos. And it literally, the chaos is that, is that there’s, there’s no logic to things. And we saw that with this verdict. There’s no logic, that there’s no, there’s no linear thought happening. The thought, what happens is radically random. So we all looked at this case. This case was an obvious joke. Even, even CNN pundits and MSNBC pundits were saying, we don’t even know what the crime is here.

It was an obvious, obvious, um, justification for at least a mistrial. So to turn around and say guilty on all 34 counts doesn’t follow. That’s chaotic, doesn’t make it. There’s no linear sense to, to make there. So we’ve talked about that ton. So what I want to focus on is the complexity and the contradiction, because that’s now what more and more people are talking about. So we’re going to focus on complexity and contradiction. That’s what we’re seeing surface the most in terms of the growing resolve against the dying liberal establishment that we’re seeing amongst this giant that’s rising.

Let’s start with complexity here. Now this is real deep analysis, and I want you, I think this is going to help you make sense of what’s happening here. One of the recurring refrains that you’re going to hear over and over, particularly on x from last night, is that the rule of law is dead in our nation. The rule of law is dead. The rule of law has shattered. And now everything has been radically partisanized. Everything has been weaponized. Now, ironically, that’s exactly what you ought to expect in post normal times. That’s the kind of what scholars call complexity that we expect to see in a period marked by post normality.

And this is because the reigning paradigm or orthodoxy that held all the diversities of society together in the old paradigm, that reigning orthodoxy has died, which for us is political liberalism, liberal globalism, that orthodoxy has died in the hearts and minds of people for all kinds of reasons. We can get into that. Once the principle of integration and coherence collapses, what happens? Society shatters. All the particulars, all the diversities of society end up going into a mass explosion like shrapnel. All the diverse disparate elements of society that once cohered, that once were held together in a coherent whole by virtue of a reigning paradigm, orthodoxy.

Because that paradigm in orthodoxy has died. They all split apart. And thats absolutely key to understanding our time today. Stepan Mastrovich excellent scholar at Texas A and M. He’s documented how we’re living in a time of enormous complexity where virtually everything appears to be breaking apart. Our world is more and more characterized by tribalisms, nationalisms, secessionisms, balkanization, social fission and the like. And so what’s happening now is everyone is rearranging themselves in some way, shape or form into competing identity groups. There’s no longer a single ideology that holds us together, like western democracy or for that matter, communism or fascism.

The three dominant ideologies of the 20th century. No, the century of ideology is dead. And now we’re breaking up into identity groups, competing identity groups. And what we just saw happen last night was that the law was used as a blatant weapon by liberal identity groups against a portion of the population that they hate, represented by Trump. So now then, what kind of resolve are we seeing from the people awakening here in the midst of this post normal complexity? What do people want now who are on the side of Trump? What do we all want? We want retribution.

And everyone is saying it now. It’s not just some, it’s not just the die hards. Everyone now wants retribution. Here’s of all people, Megyn Kelly, hardly a fan of Trump in 2016, right? MEGYN Kelly talk about a transformation. And again, that’s, it’s a post modern, post normal transformation. Talk about Mega. Megyn Kelly is now openly saying that the only proper response going forward now is political and legal revenge. Check it out. It’s a before and after moment for America. What just happened today is a line we can’t uncross. And these Democrats will rue the day they decided to use law fair to stop a presidential candidate.

I’m not talking about violence. I’m talking about tit for tat. You just wait and it won’t be Hunter Biden the next time. It’s going to be Joe Biden. It could potentially still be Barack Obama. It could still potentially be Hillary Clinton. We’re going to have to look at what the statutes of limitations are on the various crimes they surely committed. We’re going to have to look at passing laws to revive those dead crimes, felonies or misdemeanors so that those cases can be brought out of time. That’s what may be in the interests of justice, just like they did for Eugene Carroll with a New York state law that was passed so that she could sue him.

That’s what happened. Turnabout is fair play. And John Yoo, an amazing lawyer who worked in the Bush administration, Department of justice, has a great piece out today, talking about how that’s the only way they’ll learn. The only way to save the Republic now is to give them a taste of their own medicine. That’s it. That’s it. They tasted blood today. They’re the wolves with the bloody piece of meat in their mouths. That doesn’t stop the wolf from coming back for more. It’s amazing. I mean, John Yoo again, is one of the most measured fellows. I think he’s out in Berkeley, California, one of the most measured fellows you can imagine.

Now even he’s coming out and saying, that’s it. Retribution is the only recourse we have here, lest we all be destroyed by this. Because they’re coming out. Make no mistake in this, in the shattered complex world of identity politics, they’re coming out to take out and destroy red state America. And Megyn Kelly is hardly alone. John, you are hardly alone. Matt Walsh, he didn’t mince words when he tweeted out red state das need to arrest corrupt Democrats and prosecute them in front of republican juries that already hate them before the trial even begins. I’m not saying we should stoop to the left level.

I’m saying we should stop pretending we live in a country that no longer exists. And here’s Sean Davis. Check out his tweet quote. If you’re a Republican running for office, you could just go ahead and throw away all of your elegant little policy proposals for this or that corporate exclusion or tax subsidy. Give me a list of which Democrat officials you’re going to put in prison or get lost. There’s only one way to deal with nuclear war, which is what Democrats have unleashed, and that is mutually assured destruction. Democrats declared war on our entire system of justice and the rule of law.

And our only options are victory or defeat. I intend to win. Do you? So now what we have to understand here is that this retribution is inevitable because we’re living in the midst of a shattered society. The rule of law has shattered, and it’s shattering now into shards of partisanized retribution. Now, I know that sounds tribalist, but keep in mind it’s a period of transition. We’re moving away from one era into a new era. But in the midst of this transition, we’re going to have to fight. That’s the resolve that we’re already seeing awakening there. It’s purely organic.

You don’t have to convince anyone to do it. They know they’ve got to in order to survive. The reason why you’ve got farmers all over Europe protesting is because they recognize their way of life is at risk by virtue of the radical, environmental, apocalyptic policies being passed by the bullies in Brussels and the EU. They recognize their way of life is at risk. And that’s what you’re seeing there with Megyn Kelly, with Matt Walsh. What we’re seeing is a recognition that red state, America’s way of life, is being jeopardized here. The people, we, the people who are more united than we’ve ever been before, are now resolved to revolt against this dying, decrepit, weaponized political class that continues to exist nevertheless through ongoing institutions.

And that’s where the next dynamic comes in, the dynamic of contradiction. Contradiction takes on the institutions themselves. Hey gang, with everything going on right now, it’s hard to say what could happen or what will happen. And to make matters even worse, we usually don’t find out until it’s too late. But when it comes to your money, you should understand what’s at stake. That’s why I partnered with Gold Co.

Right now, let’s talk about contradiction here, because this is especially relevant for the institutions that continue to harbor the old liberal paradigm. So the old dying liberal paradigm continues to exist in and through public institutions. But this is where the dynamic of contradiction comes in, in post normal times. Now, by contradiction, we’re actually talking about a gulf that’s opened up between the haves and the have nots that in effect, is causing the entire system to basically collapse.

And it’s because we’re living more and more in a profound crisis of legitimacy, where there is a massive, massive discontent rising up among the people on both the left and the right. By the way, keep in mind, all of the spoilers in this upcoming election November, are all from the left. They’re all cornel west, right, RFK junior. They’re all from Jill Stein. They’re all from the left. So this profound crisis, legitimacy, is. Is being felt by people both on the left and the right, who feel completely alienated from our public and cultural institutions. Again, Gallup did a recent study that found that Americans trust and confidence in every single major institution has reached very, very dangerous lows.

And again, like I mentioned, I showed you that poll at the beginning. We’re talking across the board. We’re talking our trust in government, our trust in our legal system, our trust in our medical system, our trust in big business, our trust in big tech, our trust in the legacy media, and most especially, the criminal justice system. You name it. Trafalgar recently found that 80% of the people in our nation believe that we live in a two tier justice system that protects the wealthy and the powerful at the expense of the ordinary citizen. And this is the contradiction that is inherent in post normality.

This massive gulf between the haves and the have nots and what we just saw last night in that bloodlust verdict exacerbated this crisis of legitimacy like nothing ever before. Take a look at some of these tweets. I just. I just grabbed a sample of them. But this is, this is a representative what you would read all over Twitter. This is from Joel Pollock over at Breitbart. The election is now over. And that’s very important. It is. This is very key. The election is now over. There is no scenario in which Biden can win and have the result be seen as legitimate.

Catch that. That’s the delegitimacy that’s inherent in. In the contradictory dynamics of a post normal society. There is no scenario now in which Biden can win. And by the way, Bill Maher should listen to that. Bill Maher’s the one running roll Trump. No matter what he does, Trump is gonna say, I won. I won. He’s never going to concede an election. Why should he now, Bill? Why should he? With this kind of delegitimation that’s happening? There is no scenario in which Biden can win and have the results seen as legitimate. Either Trump will prevail by sheer force of popular will, or we will be ruled by a tyrannical regime leading to internal conflict and steady attrition from public life.

Elon Musk said something very, very similar. He tweeted out, quote, indeed, great damage was done today to the public’s faith in the american legal system. Faith and confidence, that’s delegitimacy. If a former president can be criminally convicted over such a trivial matter motivated by politics rather than justice, then anyone is at risk of a similar fate. And even Tucker Carlson chimed in, I don’t know if you saw Tucker’s tweet is excellent import. The third world become the third world. That’s what we just saw. This won’t stop Trump. He’ll win the election if he’s not killed first.

But it does mark the end of the fairest justice system in the world. Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family. This is the ultimate consequence of what happened last night. Whatever semblance of legitimacy tens of millions of people still just held onto for their public institutions, like National Review or John Yoon or Jonathan Turley, my namesake. Whatever semblance of legitimacy people held onto for their public institutions last night, it collapsed. It cratered. And it cratered because we’re living in the midst of post normal times, in between a no longer and a not yet.

The ironies that had to create crater in order for us to get into the not yet to get unstuck from the institutions that still hold onto the old, dead liberal order. That’s the good news. In the midst of all of this complexity and chaos and contradiction, the good news is that we are seeing a sleeping giant awaken. Awaken with a resolve to completely crush whatever is left of the old liberal globalist order and rebuild a republic in a new, rising era of civilizational freedom and liberty. Make no mistake, that resolve was steeled as of last night.

The era of liberalism is dead. A new era of civilizational traditionalism is rising, and a sleeping giant filled with resolve has just been awakened.
