I also agree, but that's the price we paid for our forebears having abdicated the duty to jealously defend our nation, race, and culture. We play the cards we're dealt, and before Trump it was just neocon after neocon. Someone like Ted Cruz was the best, most realistic option we had when Trump joined the race. It's often a weakness of the Right that we're highly critical of our own, even to the point that we neglect praxis while the Left rallies around even their worst slop-tier candidates to further their agenda, but this can also be a strength insofar as it subjugates our leaders to higher principles. The value of Trump in the eyes of his voters wasn't Trump himself, rather it was the principle of American pride and excellence to which he at least paid lip service. Trump had the charisma for the MAGA movement to coalesce around him, but he's been learning that MAGA is bigger than the Trump brand and isn't bound to him.
