A Looming Second Trump Term Is Ruining Davos's Vibe
PJ Media ^ | JANUARY 16, 2024 | ATHENA THORNE

Posted on 01/16/2024 1:47:29 PM PST by packagingguy

This year at Davos — where the globalist elite gathers to bask in its own superiority, indulge in the ultimate luxuries of privilege, and make plans for the rest of us — there's a big, orange poop in their punchbowl. And in their trembling apprehension of what President Trump's second term would mean for their gilded lifestyles, the world's ruling class is being remarkably candid...

Larsen concludes, "delegates gathering [this] week will find it hard to avoid discussing the possibility of a comeback. This time they are less likely to make the mistake of underestimating his chances of victory, nor the disruptive impact that will have on the world." In fact, the only world that Trump 47 will disrupt is the cozy, rarified world of pampered globalists who don't have the same ability to dazzle Trump with their pedigrees as they have with the Biden-Kerry-Obama variety...

The trouble, you see, is that the precious pantywaists of Europe have long been play-acting as some sort of highly evolved, post-violence civilization. Their whole gig was enabled by the prosperity and security they've been able to leach off their brash American cousins. But the truth is that the world will always have its share of violent people, and now the Russian wolf is snarling outside the EU's door.

Similar to the "Red Wave" of 2022.

Part of the 2022 "underperformance" problem was that Trump wasn't running and nobody likes our RINOs in Congress.

That said, I believe cumulatively, the Republicans beat the Democrats by 5 million votes which was a fairly historic number.

Well, if a Republican has proven to be able to win in blue counties that Trump lost and win red counties by bigger margins, then that person would have a path, if nominated.

Female voters held their noses and gave Trump a chance in 2016. They found out they didn't like him.

I think they would be willing to give either DeSantis or Vivek a chance.

But we won't know because it's going to be a rematch between Trump and Biden.

Guess what? Biden will win that rematch.

A quick end is too nice for such people

They’ve experienced the “success” of Biden and can compare with Trump’s past “success”. Why would they choose Biden? No mean tweets are more important then the price of food and gas?

Pretty much the premise of "The Squid Game".

It’s one state. Trump needs 1251. He has 20. That’s not even close to over.

Do you know the demographics Trump didn’t win Monday? Younger voters and suburbanites.

Do you know what voters cost him the 2020 election? Suburbanites.

This means he has made no progress in the demographic that cost him re-election in 2020, even among members of his own party. How is he supposed to win those voters in November?

Without them, he cannot win.

There is the possibility that the moaning coming out of Davos and the legacy media is a head fake, possibly to create overconfidence in MAGA supporters and patriotic movements in Europe and South America. That NBC posted information claiming that Congress would block President Trump's use of the military domestically or that the military would actually become insubordinate may also serve a similar purpose, making conservatives believe that the Left is despairing on the Democrats’ chances this year. The Deep State knows how the conservative and alt-right media work. Some leftist makes an over the top statement, and it gets churned and sometimes exaggerated by dozens of conservative and alt-right bloggers, websites, and social media.They may be manipulating conservative public opinion into complacency.
