"Five Card Stud"
I sense something.
Above our owners gambling away our futures.
It's as if the Democrats have planned to deliberately give over governance to the Republicans into the late 2020's. The outlines I sense seems this way. Many small things not generally noticed that come together to make a serious whole.
The Tories did similar to Labor in the UK any number of times over the generations. Let the other party fuck up so grandly the voters will do anything to get rid of them,...and it works.
The economic fallout of the 'off the cuff' trade wars #45 has started is going to be catastrophic for the economy, and common workers. His saying Canada is a "security risk" for the USA. So he attacked them economically igniting an unprovoked based on nothing impulsive trade war.
However it will take time for that, and the other economic wars he's started to have a dramatic blow back at the street level. Well into #45's second term is about when the shit will seriously hit the fan.
The dems know this plan on it are counting on it.
Com'on they sure as bleep don't wanna be holding the bag when that wet runny shit comes rolling down. So "Trump 2020" sounds fine to them. "Pence/Himmler 2024" has a nice ring too.
Meanwhile they'll put up someone as bad as Hillary or as unelectable as Bernie.
Then sit back, and wait for 2028.
Politics.
During the wait injustice rejoices want is even more keenly felt cops shoot more unarmed people.
The dems are willing to let it happen.
They're biding their time.
When the conditions are politically right for them they'll come to the rescue. This for whoever is left alive not in jail living on the street or strung out after the long dark shit storm.
Personally as individuals they're safe rich, and comfortable. Though of course they just feel awful about them Hispanic children packed into dog cages at the ICE interment centers.
However they, and their kids are well insulated from the mayhem, and oppressions so can comfortably wait their turn.
In a way I can see it.
#45 will have so destroyed the Republican brand as to keep them from the White House, and governing majorities for near the rest of the century.
The wild card is the degree to which the last of the Boomer generation of white Americans remain stupid greedy, and bigoted. The counter to them would be the by then grown up Millennials. These who have more in common with traditional centrist liberal Obamaesque politics. That, and they will be voting in decisive numbers in the late 2020's, and early 2030's.
I'll be in an ash urn by then so won't really care much either way. I partly don't already.
It's just my disappointment that my very last years will be in an America run by Kluxers neo-Nazis bullies crooks, and ethnic cleansing white cops.
Aw well ya plays the hand ya dealt.

I doubt the Dems are capable of carrying out such deep laid plans. They lost through their own incompetence, not in service to some grand master plan. What they’re planning in secret behind the closed doors of smoke-filled rooms right now is their next colossal bungle, just like last time.
The Republicans are no cleverer. They got stuck with a gate-crasher whom most of them abhor. One thing they share with the Dems is that they’re rich people devoted to fucking the poor harder and harder and *harder* every chance they get, with no lube whatsoever.
The one certainty is that the progress of the nation will be down, down, down. From time to time very likely there will be occasional dramatic and sudden downward lurches; but mostly it will be the daily grind of decline. I gather Mr. Gibbon covered this process in some detail.

P. S. - Those pictures are interesting. I can stand about two and a half of those presidents; the rest of them totally creep me out.

Good point comrade.
ReplyDeleteStill part of me has Hope.
No evidence for it whatever.
However then there was none in Warsaw in 1942 as well,...and for rather a long time after. Still tiny wisps of the "H" word hang on in even the most evil of times.
We must remember to laugh, and find joy where we can.
