Trump won.
First, some background:
How did he win?
It is clear that if the democrats wanted to, they could have swung a few votes in key districts to change the outcome, and the media would have said “fairest election in history.” Not sure how the right would have reacted, but there it is.
So, why media and democrat silence?
Call it the aftermath of October 8, 2023 – the day that genocide began. I don’t think I wrote out any thoughts on this, and I mentioned it to one or two people, but it didn’t sink in enough for me to write it out. But it should have been obvious: the left is an unstable base for Zionist support; the right is not. Sure, at the top of each party, the support is there. But the base? We have seen the answer.
Black, female college presidents, previously supported by countless millions of dollars of culture destroying money, were railroaded out of their positions because they didn’t fight so-called antisemitism. But what happens when those that were taught to hate white males figured out that Jewish men were also white males?
Protests on college campuses against what Israel was doing. Those same students that received endless training to hate white males now turned against a subset of those white males. There goes the base of the left. And it may mean the death of DEI – in addition to the economic reasons for its death, it turns out that it is a weapon against those who thought they could control it.
In any case, republicans offer a more stable base for the support of Israel and its genocidal actions than democrats currently do.
Hence…Trump.
Why no riots?
I certainly believed that the cities would be on fire if Trump was to win – notwithstanding what my gut told me on the item immediately above. Yet, almost nothing. Why? See immediately above. The left was directed to stand down. Sure, they are permitted to complain on air, but the sleeper cells have not been activated.
And, so?
Not a prediction, but I still think there is a possibility that Trump will not make it to inauguration. At this point, he is irrelevant to the cause of Israel. Republicans have control of all important institutions for at least two years, and their Scofield-brainwashed base is firmly behind the Zionist state.
For the democrats? This is why I think the whole DEI thing is dead. They will have to get behind some other movement besides “get whitey” if they want to win again.
Now, a look ahead:
The reality.
As you all know, I am pretty bad at analyzing events in real time. I am worse at predictions. This isn’t one.
Things are set up about as well as possible for some level of rationality to return to American politics and government. First, to get the obvious out of the way: yes, many of Trump’s cabinet choices are full-on Zionists. But this wasn’t going to be any different no matter who won.

Yet, this problem is going to take care of itself. There are many who believe that the state of Israel will not survive the obvious madness of its leaders, its people, and its acolytes in the United States and elsewhere. I share this belief; the burden is too large to carry, the contradictions too many and, therefore, unsustainable. Unfortunately, they have nukes, so…
I have written before about the self-fulfilling prophecy that is Scofield-induced Christian Zionism. The supporters of this heresy may very well get their Armageddon, but without any of the good stuff (unless God chooses to show mercy).
So, yes. Many of these nominations stink, but we were getting these either way.
However, let’s look on the bright side: people like Musk, Ramaswamy, RFK, Jr., Gabbard, Homan, maybe even Gaetz – in the positions for which Trump will place them. Can you envision – in the real world, not in the world of libertarian wet-dreams – a better outcome on the national level? Any one of them is better than any cabinet nominee for any position in any administration over the last – whatever lifetime you want to pick. And here we get several.
Let’s even say they all get confirmed.
Can they withstand the administrative, bureaucratic, and industry pressures of trillions of dollars arrayed against them? The fight for turf, the desire for war, the wishes of poisoning the population for profit?
Will Musk and Vivek find the $2 trillion reduction necessary to move the country away from either insolvency or funny money. Will Gaetz reign in the DOJ, including the FBI? Will Homan be successful at deporting the hundreds of thousands or millions of criminals that have been welcomed in by previous administrations?
Will Gabbard get control of eighteen spook agencies? Tamp down their dirty deeds? Will RFK, Jr. shut down the pharmacy and food industrial complex?
Will congress even allow any of this – much of which will have to be approved by congress?
Not a prediction
Just a what if. What if the answer to each one of my questions immediately above is “no” (as I believe will be the case, but I don’t want to be a wet blanket)?
Then what? If it cannot be done with these players, who can get it done? How will it get done? Will it ever get done?
Here are the election results by county for the 2024 presidential race:
And I believe Alaska was mostly, if not totally, red; Hawaii was blue.
By land mass, the country is perhaps ninety-percent plus red. Are the people in these red counties simply going to go away quietly if this dream team of nominees is unsuccessful?
No, I don’t mean riot, I don’t mean revolution. I don’t even really mean decentralization and a splitting into two or more central governments (of a sort).
Angelo Codevilla wrote this in 2016, even before Trump won the election that year:
We have stepped over the threshold of a revolution. It is difficult to imagine how we might step back, and futile to speculate where it will end. Our ruling class’s malfeasance, combined with insult, brought it about. Donald Trump did not cause it and is by no means its ultimate manifestation. Regardless of who wins in 2016, this revolution’s sentiments will grow in volume and intensity, and are sure to empower politicians likely to make Americans nostalgic for Donald Trump’s moderation. (Emphasis added)
And this from Codevilla, from an interview at LRC in 2017:
Hear me…you see the entire ruling class essentially rejecting the Constitution, the American way, rejecting the legitimacy of elections. There can be no mild response to that, and there isn’t one. Trump’s voters want certain results and they don’t particularly care how they get them. The ruling class wants its power and doesn’t particularly care how it holds on to it. (Emphasis added)
Conclusion
As I have previously written, a month before Trump’s first election victory in 2016:
For those who fear that some form of extreme fascism is coming to the United States, they need not fear Trump; the fear is in who (or what) comes next – win or lose for Trump.
I think this is even more the case today, after the false Russia-gate, twin-impeachments, covidiocy, J6 fiasco, Ukraine supporting, judicial abuse narratives and actions of the last eight years.
Keep in mind, I think the unquestioned support for Israel is also an issue leading the United States to destruction, but it isn’t a negative issue for much of Trump’s base: the evangelical Zionists are the bulwark against many types of crazy today, and Trump would not be president without them.
Take a look again at the map by county. Many of you live in those red counties; many others know them well enough from visiting, driving through (instead of flying-over), etc.
Who will they vote for next, if Trump and this dream team can’t get things done? They accuse Trump of being a fascist dictator (a case of projection, but what else is new?). Well, they ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
The people in these red counties will have the support of their local county sheriffs. The big question will be: what will the United States military do when push comes to shove? Over and above the power of any of the three letter agencies, I do believe that the ultimate issue will be decided here.
Military dictatorship, one way or the other? Again, I am not making any predictions. Call it food for thought.
Will all this make any difference or is it all choreographed "blow for show"? That remains to be seen.
ReplyDeleteWhat is quite certain, however, is that the country is on a crash course and Trump's election has not changed that at all. He may, and I stress may, slow it down a little, give us a little more space to prepare, but the end of America, as we knew it, is inevitable.
Roger, the ideas behind this post have been brewing in my head for a week or so. I remember speaking with a friend about some aspects of what would become this post, trying to describe what will eventually and almost certainly come in our situation.
DeleteI said that we are headed for a drastic time, drastic changes. The only question: will it be managed rationally, or will it come irrationally / calamitously?
I was relieved by the election outcome: I had prepared myself for a Harris presidency: sheer Stoic resignation, since I am by nature a pessimist. The best that a Trump victory could bring, I opined, was the possibility that a short breathing space might be afforded to those who need to make plans, maybe public plans: secession, flight, robust assertion of powers still in the hands if the States (even after the demise of the Articles of Confederation). After all, a bandaid is not a remedy for a societal cancer. And when the political elite, either honestly or not, cannot answer what is a woman, how can those who can answer that basic question still live in the same community as the woke leaders of the press, the universities, and, dare I say it, the churches? Aristotle stipulates that partners in a conversation must share some sense of what reality is. Conversation now appears to me as impossible. And without conversation, we are no longer a community, no? There is some hope, if the woke represent a small minority of the community. Yet that minority never rests in its war on the normal. And, as I said, it commands great resources even if its public image (Kamela, for instance) seems pitifully weak, idiotic. Prayer, please.
ReplyDeleteI analyze the Harris vote as follows: government employees, welfare recipients (am I repeating myself?), and the insane. It’s possible that the insane (and Marxist) contingent is small, however we won’t know until the MSM regroups. I’ve already exited, so I have that covered, but half my investments are still in the Empire. Lord have mercy.
