Yeah man it just stopped working one day I wonder why.

"Hey Paulus, the Carthaginian center is just collapsing inward, we're pushing them back with no effort, I wonder why."

"Youre blackpilling, Varro. They must just be bad at fighting. I know they beat us the last 12 times, but this time they just lost their nerve. We're just that good."

I have been told that this is an unfair and uncharitable interpretation of The Daily Poor by someone whom I respect. Therefore, I would like to publicly apologize to The Daily Poor and the Daily Poor Community.
Make this illegal for everyone, please.

In order to afford a house in modern America, my family had to do the unthinkable... We had to make the ultimate sacrifice.... We had to... Move to a place with a lot of snow....

When folks dismissively assert, "Trump's deporting only [x] per day—this won’t resolve the crisis!" commentators correctly retort that such judgments are precipitous. "It's only been a week!" they say, "to extrapolate 4 years worth of action from a week is insane."

Yet this measured skepticism seldom extends from those same commentators to the opposing phenomenon. Here, I suspect, we witness one of the right's fatal weaknesses in action: a propensity for naively sanguine prognostication. What if this initial fervor—the deportation blitz, the performative urgency—is merely a pyrotechnic flash, leading only to more of the usual? Worse still: to infer that progressives, having dominated sociopolitical conflicts for over a century, have abruptly atrophied into impotence because of… a week's worth of inaction...? Is it possible that the left is dead and that America will be made into a new country? Sure. Am I willing to believe it after having learned from American history and seen this entity crush its enemies again and again and again because of a mere week of positive happenings? Assuredly not.

The lesson? Hubris thrives in short timeframes. Declaring victory—or defeat—within days is less analysis than melodrama.
