Hi Friends, I've been lurking for a while now, and I really don't know what to expect. I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst. The only good thing about a Kamala win is that nothing can get any worse in my home state, California, where all of the hellish Liberal policies that motivated your Trump votes are already in action.

So with that in mind, let me tell you briefly what life is like in this liberal hellscape and what you're missing out on if Trump wins (or what to expect if Kamala wins) ...

I pay $1,500 to rent a one-bedroom shithole in an apartment complex filled with meth heads and immigrants. I pay around 75$ to fill up my tank every week and, PG&E bills can run anywhere from 150$ in the winter to close to 400$ in the summer, regardless of how much power I save. The best part is that every time I get a raise, the minimum wage is also raised, and then inflation does its thing. As a result, it feels like I have made no progress in my career or building a life for myself with my man.

What you're missing out on is the feeling of having absolutely no hope of social mobility, and you feel robbed when it comes time to pay the bills, knowing other people in other states are paying the same prices for HOUSES. In some cases, even less. It almost feels like I'll never grow up, in a sense, because no matter how much I try to get 1 step ahead - the government, inflation and shitty legislation take me 10 steps back. I don't know wtf to do about getting out of the state because my livelihood and career are tethered to California.

I know California is a lost cause, but I voted Trump because I don't want the rest of the US to experience this bullshit, and I want things to get better. Idk, I'm scared guys. I just needed to vent for a second.

How this would play out after the next 6 months as opposed to the next 3 would be a textbook length piece because we’d have to go into all the forking paths and how all the possible chaotic outcomes could play out.

Remember many of these are related. There are Muslim extremist groups that have smuggled themselves into the Us via the open southern border… What would those do during migrant riots? What would those do during a war with Iran? Iran might have kill teams ready to assassinate american figures in the event DC tries decapitation strikes against Iranian leadership… Likewise the Russian Mafia has been fairly well integrated with the Russian security state, and there could be lots of assets in the event things escalate in eastern Europe.

Historically one of the maneuvers domestically unstable regimes do is launch a foreign war in the hopes the Wartime security measures, sudden outpourings of patriotism, opportunity to spend lots of money, and maybe even a glorious victory will allow them to paper over all their domestic issues… This works maybe a quarter of the time… Usually they just destabilize themselves… but arguably that’s what the west did when they maneuvered the Ukraine war in 2022, and I’d suspect they’d do it, they certainly hate white men enough to want to see them drafted. So not only could a foreign war cause domestic instability, domestic instability would likely cause a foreign war.

All of these factors can chain-react very quickly.

America and its global position right now is gallons of gasoline in open drums, resting on a floor of dry kindling, in a building with bad wiring, a gas leak, and an unattended stove about to boil over and catch fire… Could the cook return and handle the stove? Might the wiring last the night? Sure… Might someone inadvertently light a cigarette?!

.

When Ukraine fell to a color revolution in 2014, one of the major things that escalated it revolution and escalated foreign intervention was Sniper fire that killed Euromaidan protestors. The thing is, while this was attributed to the old Ukrainian Government at the time, there’s always been theories and debates that The CIA or Ukrainian Ultranationalists might have been the real shooters, and purposefully killed those people, fighting on the side of America and the EU, so as to make the protests escalate and make the Ukrainian regime fall.

People have also speculated around things like this when it comes to the the Arab Spring and the fall of various Egyptian governments, or the Syrian protests that led to that civil war….

The thing is EVERYONE knows this trick, even if no one agrees when it has been used. And I’m convinced that we were one foreign sniper team, or crazed gunman, or aggressive current or former CIA Officer away from the same thing happening in the Summer of Floyd… A dozen random rifle shots, from a hidden position, hitting and killing protestors.. and a nation is destabilized. under $100 in ammo, 20k in equipment, and a single person’s rifle skill… And history just changed.

…If Trump had gotten to far ahead in the 2020 polls that might have happened.

Hell, an especially ruthless day trader could probably make million doing it just ot move their own bets.

And there are hundreds of things like this, where a lone person or small team could light one of those sparks at exactly the wrong moment. Right now everyone is inhaling and waiting to see how the election will play out… Something could happen before that, indeed it looked like Israel was going to strike before that, and any Trump assassin would probably want to do so before he can be elected and lock his people into power… but after the election? Suddenly it goes from individual factions looking to move history to everyone having brief opening to either start their war, prevent their defeat, secure their victory…

We sit atop an unstable system threatening to fall, and november 5th it gets shaken to it’s core.

In 2012 when Romney got destroyed by Obama there were some Black Panthers standing outside some random polling place. Fox News obsessed over it throughout the broadcast. Were they terrifying the crackas from going in and voting? I dunno maybe but them at one polling place surely did not change the election.

I’m not saying this means anything but if they’re gonna run with those story of MUH VOTER INTIMIDATION it’s clearly a cope.
