Finally: The Overton Window shifts right

Before we jump in, you may notice that today's email looks a little different, and is later than normal. That's because I'm using a new platform for this newsletter, which will enable me to serve you all better in the days to come. You can still reply to any email with your own thoughts, I read every reply.

The Overton Window

If you're not familiar with the term, the Overton window is "the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time" (Wikipedia). There has been more and more discourse about the Overton window in recent years. On average, 500% more Google searches are made about it now than 10 years ago.

It goes without saying that the Overton window has been moving to the left for decades. Enough has been said about how extreme the left has become, so I will not rehash it. Here I will discuss the future, which even as an optimist, is brighter than I expected.

Jeff Bezos... based?!

Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post, forbid the paper to endorse Kamala Harris for president three days ago. Editor-at-large of the paper resigned as a result, and the Post lost 200,000 subscribers. In response, Bezos doubled down. According to today's New York Post, "Bezos has reportedly given the newspaper a mandate to add more conservative voices to its opinion section."

The turning tide

This new policy at the Post is not a one-off event. Compared to his past runs, Trump has received far more endorsement and far less condemnation from major figures and institutions. Hulk Hogan, Dr. Phil, Tulsi Gabbard, Mel Gibson, and others have endorsed Trump for the first time in the past year.

What's more: The left is having to compromise. "White dudes for Harris" is a laughing stock of a line, but consider what it means. They're having to pander specifically to white men, who until now they have loathed as a matter of policy. Harris has also conceded that border security is a problem. She took Trump's "no tax on tips" policy. Did you catch that? The left is running on tax cuts. They're on their heels, we have to be on our toes.

Capitalizing on momentum

This is the most important part. Having the ball doesn't accomplish anything unless you move it. We have a short time to capitalize on this opportunity, to start pushing for policy that was previously not reasonable to hope for. Banning pornography, ending no-fault divorce, expanding the death penalty... all of it and more have to be on the table.

Consider how the Overton window got this far left in the first place. Our enemies were very ambitious, always on the left window frame, pushing for the most extreme policy that anyone would consider. This must be our move, if we're going to make the next 4 years mean something. We must prepare ourselves, together. That's what this publication is for.

To that end, I'm launching a referral program soon, so you can get rewarded for sharing this newsletter. Keep an eye out for that, and also for our space tomorrow night on X @ 8 PM Central on the subject of this article. I'm looking forward to speaking with you all then!
