I love that quote because it says to me that Nick genuinely has no clue how Trump won in 2016 if he's saying shit like this and thinking its appealing. The average White, Christian American is not sitting around saying "we're losing our country!" or thinking "if it gets below this threshold mathematically, America is lost!" they're thinking "We've lost our country" or "This is not my country anymore" and he fucking flops his big moment to appeal to people like that. Boomers and the "average American" aren't complaining that they're losing their country, they feel like they've lost their country, and they're two completely different things. That's why "Make America Great Again" was an appealing slogan, because it operates from the standpoint that "America is no longer great" or "America has lost its greatness."
Having a bunch of non Whites, non Christians and homosexuals speaking at your conference does not inspire the feeling of hope or confidence in the average disaffected White person in the USA that thinks it has become a completely unrecognizable country from what they've consider America. This should've been the prime time to appeal to the historic American identity or the people of American greatness, or classic symbols that appeal to Americans. Instead, he presents a conference that functionally looks no different demographically than the modern GOP, and offers nothing than "they are gay and we are based." What an absolute fucking joke. I don't even hate Fuentes, I've listened to some of his stuff before and I think he's very good at giving monologues in comparison to anyone else within the dissident right and the right wing in general, and he understands a lot of the issues that America is having at the moment, but what a blunder. He has the biggest opportunity ever in his career to spearhead his ideas into the broader Right Wing in the wake of almost every Republican believing that the election was stolen and in Trump becoming a seemingly reclusive voice in the right wing at the moment, and instead he brings in non white homosexuals and "judeo-christianity".
