You make a very good point about the true purpose of "revelation of the method" per Downard and the processing that leaves people cynical and unable to recognize a win while under the guise that they are just well informed.
But you kind of bury that point, and arguably contribute to that situation, when you assert that everyone should be "celebrating like we won the superbowl" because of a political victory that has been presented to us in a certain way.
I count myself as cautiously optimistic. And I'd say that most of the longtime conspiracy weirdos that I know personally are in the same camp. But there is also plenty of reason for skepticism of the whole Trump phenomenon. I'm always surprised at the number of people who will insist you should never trust the media, and then point to the media treatment of Trump as proof that he is hated. I just see more perception management.
The bright spots are on the periphery of his circle. Bobby is definitely the brightest spot, to me. And the woman he originally floated as USDA lead looked like a positive move (I haven't been keeping up lately and forgot her name, she was a younger woman from Texas who had been running a PAC most recently). Tulsi is promising too, but the last interview I heard with her she was just spouting some culture war silliness to the point that I am worried about her well being. Total lack of the kind of critical thinking and nuanced perspective that made her promising.
But at the core of the Trump squad? Pure rot. The man himself is a career con man and actor, zero evidence that he has ever had a wider vision or mission beyond enriching himself. His son in law and their family are classic zionist villains. His VP is aligned with the most malignant forces in Silicon Valley. And Elon is a straight up ghoul.
So optimism is there, but it's not blind optimism. "We" didn't win the super bowl. The forces of utter darkness suffered a set back, and there is evidence of growing momentum of the people reawakening to their power and potential. But the demons are not dupes. They were not blindsided by this victory. They seem to have plenty of pieces still in position and, I would argue, that the promotion of wild celebration of this man Trump is exactly part of that processing back into the system.
