I think therefore I think therefore I think some more. This is subject to change without notice. (Right now I think we're all in trouble.)
He changed his raging male schtick to move into prov. politics.

There's no reason he can't change his current repertoire.

He has, I believe, access to all the high level strategists and ops quid pro quo contracts and legislation can buy.

I'll feel better after dealing the CPC a series of fatal elections.

It's not like the CPC members aren't going to put another mapleMAGA in with the same values; only differing in style. A better sneak, more charismatic or both, leader = trouble.

Long ago I'd use the Socratic Method to lead such in a half circle until they diametrically opposed a cherished belief.

If I alerted them to it they'd snap back to their orig. position

If I left it with them (and left), sometimes their stance would soften. Occ. the new position would become real.

It's an adept use of common, crucial products to disrupt, distract and misdirect bec. the tactic influences everyone on all sides in different ways.

As in stage magic, the point is to give you all something more interesting to look at than the bit(s) they don't want you to focus on.

It may in a what goes around comes around kind of way.

He may have put himself on ICE's list as undesirable.

Never underestimate an enemy.

Doug's been taking french for at least 5 years and practicing with french speakers.

If you underestimate him, he'll sandbag you.

He's sandbagged Ontario 3 times bec. opponents *think they're smart and don't understand that they're being led by the nose.

Now do the etymology of the insults.

Assuming he's continued with the tutoring after a hiatus during covid, he's been learning french for at least 5 years.

Doug's a plodder, a plotter, a cunning crook and a dangerous enemy.

Ppl keep underestimating him.

We underestimate his ilk at our peril.

one more factor that needs to be considered and that's of Doug angling for CPC leadership and PM.

He might consider this an opportune moment.

That last election was a classic exercise in vote suppression and exploiting the voting tendencies of a populace under attack. Then someone gave Doug a heads up and he did a chameleon change to a Captain Canada persona.

IMO the vids contain essential insights.

Betting he jumps ship for Poilievre's job.

If he does, he won't need those plans.

And there were ppl saying evangelical fascist, fascist etc. before the Harperites achieved power.

Warnings have been ongoing since before lyin Brian.

The broadcast countdown began when Doug started cosplaying Captain Canada.

Doug's been prepping for leadership of the CPC for over a decade.

It remains to be seen if he'll pick this opportunity and call in the markers or waitabit.
November 7, 2025 at 11:25 PM
and that with worse.
November 7, 2025 at 6:14 PM
He said that in 2019.

'Never underestimate the enemy' comes to mind.

Each of us would need a team of at least 20 dogged investigators to keep up.

…and a couple of psych and poli sci degrees or equivalents.

Because they're not trying to kick *them out?

If they were, one of the first to go would have to be DJT.
