I just realized one thing,
@Syaoran Li your prediction that if the Democrats lose they will clean house of far left elements almost certainly is not happening now.
With Harris picked as the VP this election is going to be seen as 2016 2.0 on steroids; Bernouts and farther-left types will be having meltdowns that they been once again used by the DNC for gayops
that failed. That last part is the most important element to consider, because if they lose it means the establishment DNC has self-owned itself twice during the "most important elections in history to stop Fascism here!". Further radicalization is the obvious outcome of that.
You do bring up an excellent point, but there's a part of me that thinks they're going with Harris specifically they want to subtly clean house from within. It's clear that the DNC establishment hates The Squad and the more radical "Woke Left" wings of the Democratic Party, and they've lost control of Antifa and their grip on BLM is tenuous at best. If Biden wins, they will clean house but the corporations will still hold onto wokeness because they'll view it as working and Biden/Harris will no doubt continue coddling China.
If Trump wins, I can see one of two scenarios happening.
1. Trump and Barr decide to go apeshit on Antifa and BLM as payback for the summer of 2020 and they put that DOJ terrorist designation to good use. This will probably happen no matter what the Democrats do within their own ranks so long as Trump wins.
However, the DNC will have to respond, especially if the Flynn investigation and the Epstein scandals have any legs to them. They likely won't go anywhere, but if we're lucky enough we might get some major scandals and someone taking the fall as the Democrat equivalent of Oliver North.
I don't think Obama, Bloomberg, or the Clintons will ever face any consequences for any of this even if the investigation does actually go somewhere against al odds, although I could see either Clinton or Obama becoming persona non grata within the DNC similar to how Jimmy Carter was treated after the 1980 election, depending on what all happens after a Trump win.
The DNC will have two choices in a Trump win. Either clean house and shift the narrative and pin the blame on Bernie, the DSA, Antifa, and BLM or continue to radicalize further.
Since Harris is the VP pick for Biden, I think it's probably the second-least damaging move they could have pulled given their limited circumstances. Susan Rice would be a better pick for Biden actually increasing his odds of winning, while Harris actively damages those odds. But she's also got enough IdPol boxes checked for the MSM to keep pushing the narrative and pacify the NPC's and the less invested wokesters until the election.
If Trump wins and the DOJ has carte blanche to go hard after Antifa (and possibly BLM) then the Dems will either do a quiet internal soft purge and blame the radicals or they will try to pander to the Woke Left harder for the 2022 midterms and 2024.
If the DNC decides to do a serious post-mortem analysis in the event of a Trump win, I think they will purge the Woke Left from any serious positions of power. AOC will very likely have her district gerrymandered out of existence by 2022 since she's got the most gaffes and scandals, and Pelosi probably hates her the most among the Squad. Ilhan Omar will likely keep banking on the Somali, hood rat, and woke punk votes to stay in office unless she also gets gerrymandered as well. Tlaib and Pressley will probably still be in play but will be sidelined within the House.
A second Trump win will blackpill a lot of the Woke Left, but the question is will the Dems keep pandering to them or will they cut them off because they don't want to get burned in any DOJ backlash? I know this sounds optimistic, but the only reason why I think the DNC might not go further to the radical left in the event of a Trump win is because of the DOJ terror designations of Antifa at the start of all this. It's clearly some kind of nuclear option, and considering that there have been vannings and sending in federal agents to defend key federal properties, I'm pretty sure Trump isn't just "monitoring the situation" on this one. But he is having to fight with a major handicap due to both the optics issues related to the upcoming election, and because the deep blue states and cities are refusing to comply with him at all.
Trump and Barr did that for a specific reason, and given that it was officially announced on the DOJ's official government website and that several Antifa guys have been vanned by the Feds and that Teespring is no longer carrying Antifa merch for fairly obvious legal reasons, then I get the feeling that Trump will likely use the DOJ to full effect against Antifa and maybe BLM if he wins a second term since he won't have to play nice and fight with one hand tied behind his back anymore.
If Trump can win a second term and Antifa does get the hammer dropped hard on them, the DNC is more likely to quietly do an internal soft purge of the Woke Left just to save face and avoid getting accused of supporting terrorism. In that scenario, a large swath of the blackpilled and hardcore Woke Left will either get more violent (and suffer consequences) or will try to go into a third party like the lolberts.
But if the DNC are that bullheaded or if Barr doesn't go hard enough on Antifa, then the Woke Left will get more prominent within the Democratic Party.
We'll know more once the election is over. Make sure to vote in person and vote for Trump, at this point it's the only thing we can do to fight back right now.
Can't clean the House of the far left elements if your base keeps wanting to vote those insurgents in in the primaries (as you can see with all the Squad pretty much retaining their seats and gaining one with Cori Bush). Hell, in the recent primaries held in Minnesota and Georgia, the "moderates" are being replaced with even more progressive Democrats such as
Omar Fateh and Jen McEwen
So as much as I would like to believe in
@Syaoran Li's predictions that the Democrats would clean house of the far left elements in their party once they lose, it's becoming more increasingly likely that these progressives winning in these primaries aren't just a fluke but a trend.
I have no doubt that the leftist wing of the base such as the fucks in the Squad are going to keep pushing for more left-wing pushes. But a Trump win is the kind of thing that I don't think the DNC has planned for, and if Trump wins and keeps up the pressure on Antifa, then the DNC bigwigs may have to make tough choices.
I hope that Trump wins and that the Democrat leadership do the smart thing and throw the leftists under the bus, but the DNC has proven themselves to be short-sighted enough to shoot themselves in the foot long-term so I don't know what will happen.
Vote for Trump, because you know the DNC will play every dirty trick in the book to ratfuck the election. I think a Trump win will also prove that 2016 was not a fluke but a trend, since that's the kind of thing that cuts both ways.
Seriously, if Trump can pull off winning a second term after all this, I don't think he'd let those four years go to waste. Putting more heat on Antifa and BLM means the DNC and Silicon Valley won't be able to rely on their shock troops as well, and that could mean the DNC will have no choice but to purge and sideline as much of the extreme progressives as much as possible.
It's more or less an open secret that Pelosi and the DNC want to gerrymander AOC out of her office and if Trump wins after this shitshow, I have no doubt they will try to make an example out of AOC and possibly Omar via good old-fashioned gerrymandering and DNC electoral fraud. Pelosi no doubt hates AOC after all the bullshit the Squad has pulled in addition to taking the district that her successor had.
I know this sounds like optimism and cope, but we honestly don't know what all is going to happen since there are way too many variables at this point no matter who wins the election
