Rick Wilson: "When Orange Cthulhu panics, the MAGA rats inside the White House bucket start turning on one another..."

[Miles Archer]

"There’s an odor in the West Wing. No, not Trump’s notorious eau de Depends, but something sharper: metallic, sour, unmistakable. Fear," he wrote. "The smell of a frightened crew on a ship taking on water, while the officers on the bridge quietly eye each other’s life jackets."

"And when Orange Cthulhu panics, the MAGA rats inside the White House bucket start turning on one another, scratching, biting, desperate to prove loyalty, clawing for the rim no matter the cost to truth or dignity," the analyst wrote. "For years, the MAGA apparatus has run on a simple, brutal loop: do something horrific, lie about it, scream 'fake news' at anyone who notices, and barrel ahead. It worked with chilling consistency. Until Minneapolis. Until the public executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretti jammed the machinery."

"Stephen Miller and his dead-eyed acolytes reached reflexively for the old script. Within hours, Pretti was labeled an 'assassin.' A threat. A monster. But the video was too clear. The facts are too stubborn. And the victim, fatally for the propaganda machine, was too achingly normal. Midwestern normal. Human. Real. Furious at watching his city being turned into an armed camp," he wrote. "The backlash didn’t stay confined to activists or cable panels. It radiated outward into Senate offices, governors’ mansions, and even pro-Trump corporate boardrooms. When Target’s CEO is privately calling your people and asking what the hell is happening, you don’t have a messaging problem. You have a crisis."

"Kristi Noem knows the ice beneath her is thinning. Stephen Miller knows he’s the most despised man in the building. And Donald Trump knows that, for the first time in a long while, he’s losing control of the story," Wilson wrote. "The rats are fighting. The bucket is shaking. They’re not stopping. They’re just waiting for the smoke to clear so they can see their targets better."

4. When Nazi Germany defeat was a foregone conclusion, thousands and thousands still died.

Both attacking and defending died in huge numbers. This will not end with a whimper, but a bang.

5. And rank and file Germans who killed themselves

In fear of Russian Retaliation or despair at living in a Germany without Hitler.
