Trump doing nothing for two weeks straight in the face of the biggest US political assassination in decades is more demoralizing than anything I or anyone else could say and I'm sure you know that.
America doesn't have an absolute monarch in charge. He's said shit that matters but effectively his hands are tied by the system he operates under. We saw this happen in real time as the the B.B.B took 5 months to sign, and how random judges could impede his illegal immigration efforts. There's a ton of shit he
literally cannot do because of the separation of powers and laws. Him saying he "hates his enemies" and doesn't "forgive them" is somewhat emblematic of the frustrations we all operate under. We can despise the Left all we want but we still abide by and want to abide by the rule of law (state, natural, or God's). It's ultimately why right-wing rhetoric, no matter how hard it goes, doesn't metastasise into action, yet it does for Leftists because they don't abide by natural or God's law and the law of the state is only legitimate depending on who's in charge. Due to the Right's confines, the response times are slow but the results are profound because it usually entails longer-lasting, more impactful change, for better or worse. The only reason we saw a large shift in the right's capabilities these past 40 years was due to the advent of Neoconservatives, who advocate for "stability" (maintaining the status quo, even one set by the Left) and law-based morality (e.g. State's laws = moral) rather than fixing issues left to fester or created by the Left.
The Right being able to compare themselves to the Left on response times is demoralising because the left appears to say, "Fuck the law," and then actually do something that specifically fucks over their enemies and do it quick too. IMO the actual response may take a while to manifest but once it does the Left can't really do anything about it. It's why for all of BLM's bloviating and rioting after George Floyd, nothing of substance came from it (except even more funny bodycams). The closest we've seen to the right-wing acting like the left-wing politically is the first few months of Trump's presidency when he and DOGE immediately cut USAID and banned trannies from the military on the drop of a dime.
The Left creates/sets the precedents the Right then reacts to, which ends up screwing them in the long-run. This is because they can no longer use that method of attack anymore as it's been exposed, or the Right passes laws that specifically target said thing and now it's off the table forever. But still, due to abiding by the law, the actual reaction and subsequent action sees a huge ass gap (in some cases you're looking at actual decades). The precedent for this shit is everywhere by the way, at least in America and Western Europe. The politicians of the political right-wing in the UK have only just now more or less acknowledged censorship and lack of free speech being a problem and we're still looking at 2030s at the earliest to see that finally get fixed. America's had major illegal immigration issues since the 90s but now it's taking until the 2020s to get dealt with.
TLDR: The right-wing (or their politicians at least) are
fucking slow.
