    Does Trump even has any real power left to “declare victory” and walk away? Iran lost the equivalent of a pope and that’s quite serious for those guys, plus all that national pride being wounded and all that. Sure, he can if he throws Israel under the bus by blaming everything on it and walks away

      Trump can’t declare victory until he establishes 1) military dominance over Iran; or 2) a civil war in Iran (to be blamed on moolars and terrible people and islamists) he will destroy Iran and then pretend it was the other guy’s fault.

      The best outcome is that Americans start rioting like they did on 6th of January 2021. Keep in mind that was just angry boomers who love muscle cars and bacon jokes on Facebook. The only proper unrest against Trump will come from enraged millennials and gen z. A combination of the left and the right. Because everyone is sceptical about Trump now, so it’s just a matter of time until you see the protests and gas riots emerge. Forget about principles or ideology, just get angry at the right moment lol. I really hope it happens but it depends on Iran’s ability to cut off oil supplies and damage market confidence. The best thing anyone can do is spread anti-trump propaganda online.

      Here’s how you do it.

      1. sign up for Le Freeze Peach website such as Gab
      2. join a Trump supporter group
      3. post Le Epic Memes about Trump being a moron
      4. profit engagement! You’ll be amazed at how much Trump’s own supporters laugh at his stupidity.

      Example:

      https://gab.com/jeff_mitchell/posts/116201309904366189

      Result: people on the American right start to mock Trump and call him a jackass, whilst sharing ai videos of Netanyahu bum-jacking Trump on the deck of an aircraft carrier. People will then send the memes on Signal or WhatsApp and it just snowballs from there. Eventually I like to think that 100,000 MAGA people and communists arrive at the White House fence and stomp on MAGA caps. That’d be almost as good as MLK’s plan to plonk a thousand homeless men in D.C. certainly one for the history books. People in America need to get ready to make a convoy to travel to D.C. and have a mass protest against Epic Fury. There is no point sitting this one out, it can actively be stopped by sabotaging public opinion with memes and protests to ruin Trump’s image and make him lose legitimacy.
