One of the striking things about the Red Pills and their movement in general is their immaturity of judgment. This is particularly obvious when reading their discourses on sexual relations---which they've glossed up with terms like 'Game' and 'Pick-Up Artistry'. They sound like a bunch of Middle-School punks who've never had actual sex pontificating about things they don't understand to impress other boys who've never had actual sex.
Their politics and sociology isn't much different. Actually they're as bad as Antifa and other Bolsheviks who think that Government is an institution existing solely to serve and cater to their every need or wish. Government is not a baby-sitting service for adults. In a Representative Republic we elect people whose job it is to craft policies for the general welfare of the whole nation---as the US Constitution expressly says.
One of the Red Pill blockheads calling himself The Z Man has been stirring up the cauldron in the Manosphere lately; going on a week-long rampage over several posts distancing himself from President Trump. He writes as though this were some principled stand---even though the President has been distancing himself from the Alt-RINOs and their fascistic philosophies for well over a year now.
Z Man is angry because (according to him) Trump has 'caved in' on DACA and has expressed some sympathy for some very minimal gun-control laws.
Both of these are issues upon we'd intended some commentary. The first, on DACA: Trump can't get DACA repealed---just like the Obamacare repeal---because enough Liberals and RINOs in Congress want to keep those programs. So Trump does what a democratically-elected leader does under such circumstances: he fixes what parts he legally can while compromising to gain support for other programs. Trump didn't 'cave' on DACA any more than he did Obamacare.
This is an example of the Red Pills' political immaturity. They don't understand how things actually work in a democracy and ignore all of the Administration's accomplishments because of one issue that really isn't going to change things much. If DACA is reformed, it wouldn't be such a bad law, except to hard-core xenophobes like most Red Pills are.
As for the gun issue: Trump has expressed a willingness to ban 'bump-stocks', something that practically no gun owner--- including many NRA leaders---had ever heard of prior to the Las Vegas massacre committed last October by a drug-addict. Bump-Stocks are really questionable as to their safety. They're a variation of what used to be called a 'zip gun'---a home-built firearm that fired by recoil rather than a trigger-mechanism. Everything I've seen about bump-stocks indicate that they are unreliable and even dangerous. Many pro-2nd Amendment people support Trump on this issue. Either way, favoring a bump-stock ban is hardly a major piece of gun control. And let's not forget that the Administration recently lifted restrictions on certain automatic shotguns which had been in place since the 1970's.
Z Man shows his lack of sophistication by saying things like: "Everyone is vexed with me for bailing on Trump. This is understandable. Sensible White Americans have been conditioned to defend 'their man' against all attacks." No, Z Man. Sensible Americans---regardless of color---weigh the good against the bad in its proper context and every four years have the opportunity to make such evaluations. Z Man throws out this very typical Red Pill argument that anyone opposing their often extremist positions is simply a knee-jerk, go-with-the-flow type. It's no accident that they've chosen the Red Pill motif for their entire movement.
So far from being 'knee-jerk' we criticized Trump's Middle East policy less than a week ago. We've criticized other of his positions too, and have openly said that some of his advisers and cabinet picks were terrible choices. But Trump has done much more positive than negative things; and, at any rate, it's too early in his first term to conclude that he is either one of our greatest presidents or one of the worst.
These guys really need to grow up. Trump's compromises (so far) are nothing like the wholesale sellouts that we experienced under the Swamp-RINO, Bush; or the equally conniving GOP Congress under neocons Trent Lott and Dennis Hastert. The worst thing in our opinion that Trump has done were the military operations against the legitimate Syrian government. Even still, Trump showed enough maturity of his own to reverse his policy in Syria after meeting with the more sagacious President Putin and with Pope Francis.
America has always been a country for grown-ups. Let's follow our President's lead and not go running for a safe space at the drop of a hat.
