It’s a common strategy for political and media operatives to support weak primary candidates in the opposing party.

I’m just gonna link a comment I made months back:

“The guy is clearly an idiot, maybe he means well but again that is irrelevant. This has Republican hit job written all over it from the get-go, I wouldn’t be surprised if Collins team found out about the tattoo (before he even decided to run) and directed “political technicians” to infiltrate his social circle and subtly nudge this guy to run, consequently becoming an unwitting accomplice to sabotage a genuine left-wing movement.”

For America’s adversaries and the Dark Enlightenment who financed Trump, it’s the best decision. Elements within the Trump admin have the stated goals of dismantling democracy, destroying the economic world order, and collapsing civilization. These people supported Trump because of the absolutely shortsighted, selfish and stupid decisions he would make.

When parties are roughly evenly matched, elections often turn on irrelevant or misleading considerations such as economic spurts or downturns beyond the incumbents’ control; the outcomes are essentially random. Thus, voters do not control the course of public policy, even indirectly.

Duverger’s law, the way the elections are winner takes all makes it mathematically certain there are only two viable options. It’s basic math which people failed at.

His ideas have influenced people in the Trump admin unfortunately, it’s likely where they got the notion of shifting the world order to a multi-polar one.

The video, since you didn’t watch it, explains how Dugin and the Dark Enlightenment align insofar as destroying liberal democracy and the West.
