Bret Weinstein just dropped a bombshell announcement.

He’s launching a new America First party.

This changes everything about the 2028 election.

“We will not be voting our way out of our crisis through the uniparty.”

“The idea is to take over the Libertarian Party.”

“And to rebrand it the American Liberty Party.”

“I’m partnering with the Mises Caucus.”

“The hard-headed folks who have libertarian values, but are also frustrated by the way the party functions.”

“Some of us thought that we might drain the swamp by voting for a renegade.”

“That does not seem to have worked.”

“Overwhelmingly, the Trump administration has fallen short on many of its promises.”

“I think we would be at war in Iran no matter what.”

“This war was going to happen because the powers involved in the uniparty wanted this war to happen.”

“Our system is built to frustrate the production of a viable third party.”

“The Libertarian Party, for all of its defects, has managed to gain ballot access in all 50 states.”

“That said, the Libertarian Party has historically had difficulty finding a candidate worth voting for.”

“The idea is a friendly takeover of the Libertarian Party.”

“The slogan [is] the new home for the America First movement.”

“What we mean here is America First in the most obvious sense of the term.”

“American policy should always be in the interests of the American people.”

I played from Vanilla to Cataclysm and quit because it stopped feeling the same.

I kept trying to return hoping things were different, Pandaria, WoD, then Dragonflight, never there for more than a week or two, and for me it was progressively worse every time and mirrored the same modern game design I see in countless other games.

-QoL ruining discovery
-Matchmaking and raid finder ruining community
-Soft narratives and designs ruining the fantasy
-Monetization ruining progress and rewards

As one of the most cynical people out there, I didn't think Blizzard had it in them, I didn't think they had the talent, vision, competence, or care for what the game used to represent, and to my shock, they delivered.

Meeting people in the wild, joining groups to complete quests, funny one off moments, server wide drama.

Last night I traveled across the Easter Kingdoms with a group of people just to try the Under City dungeon, all of us dying, laughing, chatting, and making the journey together.

The sense of discovery is back.
The sense of scale is back.
The sense of community is back.

And until Blizzard gives me a reason not to, which to be clear they are very good at doing,

I'm back.
