I remember when Newsmax was this shitty right-wing newsletter that you had to sign up for to get around ads for websites and now its siphoning off massive amounts of viewers from Fox. Fucking lol.
The numbers and shit are all fake, but I don't see it mattering. The left basically is Tinkerbell "IF YOU BELIEVE HARD ENOUGH IT IS TRUE" by plugging their ears and anuses shut and ripping out their eyes while screaming incoherently. The right has plenty of RINOs, neo-cons and religious right left to kneecap efforts. There's interests on both sides that exist to see the loopholes remain open for their use and there are billions of dollars of political machine money, literal voting machine money and corporate promises tied up for Biden.
The electorate and people are so disenfranchised that they don't really give a shit and the only place discussion and doubt is allowed is on remote corners of the internet and in your own home. Looking forward to the day when all our shit has microphones and we have to start making up cants again just to talk about shit in our own homes (cants are cryptographic languages for those that don't know. Meaning an entire language composed out of code so nobody knows what the fuck you are saying). It'll be like the tower of babel on crack cocaine where everyone has their own words for things and language becomes meaningless.
While the entire process is slow, it has been abysmally moving at a snail's pace. Trump hired Juliani who is a fucking spectacle rather than a lawyer. Yeah, he took down the mob...like 30 years ago. That motherfucker has talked out of his ass ever since he stopped being NYC's mayor. People not from NYC don't know this, but our mayors, even the good/great ones always fucking lose their shit after they stop being mayor of the city. Rudy is no exception. To believe his shit is just like huffing jenkem. He's a liability far more than an asset. Dershowitz has done a metric fuckton of groundbreaking legal work. And yes, he's a piece of shit, but he's who you hire because he has a tendency to get shit done. Rudy just talks out his ass most of the time and runs a big bill.
I'm not seeing the abject desperation of 2000 where there were fist fights breaking out at polling places and it was a bloody streetfight. The energy isn't there. I mean, for fucks sake, the left knowingly voted for a neo-liberal, neo-conservative warmonger who has done absolutely jack shit for 40+ years of his career except imprison minorities and his VP is a slave owner that imprisoned minorities. And this is WHO THEY WANT. A man contrary to the VERY IDEALS they hold. It is a cognitive dissonance so extreme it is fucking mental illness. Its absolute delusion.
There won't be a civil war, because this isn't enough. People are far too comfortable. We're in late stage capitalism, an era where no one has gone before. Everything is consolidating with unimaginable wealth and power and is seeking to fundamentally break systems that has been in place for centuries. That's what the great reset is, at its core. A consolidation of wealth and power to break structures that have kept it in check for most of the modern era. Another four years of Trump would barely be a speed bump. 2008 was the last, best shot to reform, to drag the rich out of their towers and hang them from their lampposts. Because there's only one thing that keeps their excess in check: Fear of the fucking noose. Now that they don't have it, fucking forget everything. They think they can do the great reset because no one will take up the pitchforks and drag them down from their towers. That's when things start to go real bad. The rich will just keep taking more and more and more until the whole fucking system breaks under their weight. The rich aren't genuineness or great entrepreneurs. Not anymore. Most of the wealth today? Inherited. Not created.
So we've got the equivalent of a fucking inbred aristocracy. Just look at what the celebrities and the ultra rich post all over social media. They're not fucking smart. And wealth is a finite resource, and they want to keep extracting more with no cost to themselves. Hint: Doesn't work. The gap between the wealthy and poor is now worse than it was in the 1920s and only growing wider. They want to extract more blood from a stone every day, and those gears are going to be wound smooth, and that's when this whole fucking machine breaks and we all bleed to death with it.
Except for the rich. They get to hide and start again.
So, tl;dr: None of this shit fucking matters. There's no energy here and over 70 million people have become delusional over the equivalent of a center-right isolationist just because he's rude and makes their feelings hurt.
Call it 'doom posting' or whatever, just take a step back and look at this OBJECTIVELY. Is Trump forceful enough? Is he doing enough? Is he hiring the right people? Does he have enough time left? Does he have enough support within his own political apparatus to get this done?
The truth doesn't matter. Laws don't matter. Facts don't matter. Its what people have put at stake. This is gambling, and you either have the cards you need to win or you don't. Elections have always been corrupt to varying degrees and it is extraordinarily simple to fix them so they're not, but there's no will to do so. Because everyone wants to try to gamble with this broken system. Its just a matter if you have the cards and chips to do so. And from where I'm sitting, Trump doesn't have either.
