What is Double Victory
Welcome to an Alternative Future and a Changed Past
www.victoryvignettes.com
So what is (DVTL) Double Victory?
It is my world-building and alternative history project, intended to culminate in a series of full-length novels!
TLDR: The Final Countdown with zoomers, crank to 11, and mix in heaping doses of Matterhorn, Red Storm Rising, and the Death of Stalin.

It is incredibly bleak to watch these people basically try to whip up a pogrom
is it not a common experience for sites to do this when they receive a huge influx in traffic driven by weird men deciding to hunt daycares?

This is small potatoes but they never investigate things where they live, they just go to a city to harass people and lie, and then never have to deal with the consequences of daycares shutting down because of their menacing. All they know how to do is make things worse fore everyone who isn’t them.
Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

also honestly not enough is said that Trump's political strength (which is really a low ceiling and high floor imo) is sourced from DECADES of being directly associated with opulence and business success, which is not replicable
Trump as the first fandom president makes a lot of sense to me
It's just that as we lurch further into fandom politics we don't have the institutional glue to create and sustain majorities so instead the lockout is really a bank shot about negatively polarizing a critical mass of voters against the other guy

It’s possible for two things to be true, and I believe they are:
1. Many terrible things have happened and will continue to, bc a razor-thin majority of voters chose an authoritarian racist.
2. The hoped-for authoritarian consolidation will almost surely fail, even if scars will be long-lasting.

if we're lucky suburban american ends up as homogenously blue as rural/exurban america is red, which seems to be the process slowly churning in fits and starts
i think a big issue with american politics is pundits have predicted 11 of the last 2 realignments, which people have taken to mean that realignment is actually impossible and the status quo is eternal
I think broadly the two most likely scenarios for American politics are a continued enshitification ratchet or a lockout realignment

yeah i think the issue here is now not so much a successful consolidation under Trump/Vance (short of a Yoon moment, I don't think they have the juice): it's the fact that the underlying energy behind Trumpism is likely going to turn the future GOP into even more of a nightmare
