Slouching Towards Trump Tyranny

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

It is still possible that Trump will lose in 2024 and simply slip into the darkness. But at the moment he has a 50 / 50 chance of winning. As such, we have to take the possibility that Trump will get a second term and be given the opportunity to go full tyrant.

And it’s happening in broad daylight. Trump is telegraphing to all of us exactly what he plans to do once he has the opportunity. What will be interesting to see is what the reaction will be on the part of not just the general population, but the U.S. Military.

In fact, both Agenda47 and Project 2025 both rely on the assumption that people will meekly accept Tyrant Trump corrupting the administration of law and justice in his second term. But what if the populace reacts dramatically to Tyrant Trump at the same time the U.S. Military balks at being Tyrant Trump’s goons?

The key element that Trump and his ilk miss is they don’t have an SA. They don’t have a paramilitary group to knock heads. They think they can use the U.S. Military to serve that purpose by using the Insurrection Act. I have my doubts, however.

So it’s possible that Tyrant Trump might be deposed by the U.S. Military, probably under the guise that he’s not supposed to be POTUS in the first place because of the 14th Amendment.

And, yet, I suppose because form follows function, either ICE is weaponized into some sort of SS or Tyrant Trump very soon — within his first 100 days — organizes some sort of national SA-like organization that would knock heads as he consolidates power.

I’m very worried because I know that it will be people like me who will find myself having my head bashed in by ICE or some sort of MAGA-nationalized Patriot Front.

Pray.

Agenda 47: A Fork In The Road

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I’ve been so fixated on the Project 2025 conspiracy that I was totally oblivious to the real conspiracy — Agenda 47. While, as I understand it, Project 2025 is the theory for our looming autocratic Christian ethnostate, Agenda 47 is the conspiracy that is actually doing the nuts-and-bolts work to make that nightmare a reality.

Now, obviously, there is the issue of Trump having to win first for any of this to matter. And he could still lose. Which, of course, opens the possibility that he might, unto himself, cause a civil war in an effort to stay out of prison.

But for the sake of argument, we have to accept that there is a pretty good chance that malignant ding-dong Trump is going to be the next POTUS. As such, Agenda 47 may play a huge role in the future of the United States.

We have to accept that everything that was bad about Trump’s first term will be taken to a severe next level during his second administration. It’s going to suck really, really bad. There are two things to remember about this situation. One is, it won’t happen in a political vacuum. In other words, Trump can try to strangle American democracy all he wants to — there is a good chance people will fight back.

And two, the whole thing is a setup for whomever happens to be Trump’s successor. It’s Trump’s successor who will be our long-term autocrat. The person who starts to really lean into the America First vision of a white Christian ethnostate.

All I want to do is be a traditionally published author. And here I am, worried I’ll be shot dead by ICE at some point after starting in 2025.

What The Fuck Is To Be Done About Would Be Tyrant Trump?

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

The thing about Trump is you just never know. That’s his power. The uncertainty. It is a testament to how the man continues to stumble through history — and is not a Great Man — that he can be so fucking lazy and yet get so far.

The people who support him don’t love him, they love “idea” of him. In that sense, Trump is — and always has been -a symptom rather than a cause. Unlike a true Great Man Of History, he simply rides the wave of history rather than divert it to according to his will.

As such, Trump could just as easily start a Second American Civil War in 2024 by demanding a National Divorce to stay out of prison as he is to just slink away after a defeat, never to be seen again. If that — unlikely — event happened, we would at least punt our severe structural problems down the road another four years.

I just have no idea what is going to happen next with Trump. He has all the signs of going full tyrant if he is re-elected in 2024. And, yet, who the fuck knows? I know I don’t. I can’t predict the future.

But I am worried. Very worried.

It Is Inevitable That MAGA Will Come After The Jews

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I’m not Jewish, but I feel I have a vested interest in their status in society as we careen towards a fucking MAGA Nazi fascist state because what happens to them will inevitably happen *to me*. I’m an odd ball, a freaky weirdo who has no idea what the “right” thing to do is relative to people who want a white Christian ethnostate. And as an American drunk loudmouth crank, I’ve had the luxury of living in a liberal democracy up to this point.

But if reading about the first 100 days of Nazi rule in 1933 has taught me anything, it’s that MAGA, once Project 2025 kicks in, will inevitably put me in a camp and do go only knows what to me. And because political form follows political function, it’s also inevitable that for all their desire to cling as tightly as possible to the Jews because they think Israel existing means Jesus will come back….MAGA is going to turn on the Jews.

And when they do, they’re going to come after freaky weirdo non-Jews like me. The Nazis hated not only Jews, but pretty much anyone who was a weirdo — LIKE ME. And I’m a loudmouth crank who refuses to shut the fuck up, so I’m bound to find myself on the wrong side of Project 2025. Fuck those guys. Fucking fascist pigs.

To me, the question of MAGA turning on the Jews is only a matter of time. It is the natural progression of the MAGA Nazi movement whenever the Dear Leader Tyrant Trump is no more. There are already signs that MAGA is going to do that now, with the rising incidents of anti-Jewish violence across the country. Which, I must note, Americans continue to be pretty chill with, which is very alarming to me.

Anyway. No one listens to me. And when they do listen to me, they often get mad. So, lulz. Maybe I should learn Ham Radio.

Form Follows Function: Project 2025 & The Inevitable Creation of ‘The MAGA Youth’

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Given that the Project 2025 conspiracy wants to corrupt the administration of justice and levers of power like the fucking Nazis in 1933, it makes you wonder if we should expect the MAGA Youth being organized.

The MAGA Youth would be a national youth organization meant to indoctrinate young impressionable children into the principles of America First. The only question I have is how soon will Tyrant Trump being the process of organizing the MAGA Youth.

There are some obstacles. America is a huge, diverse and decentralized nation — especially in regards to education — so some sort of state sponsored Hitler Youth-like organization would be a bit difficult to implement. But not impossible, especially, if, lulz, Tyrant Trump goes full tyrant and does whatever the fuck he wants to do because Project 2025 has so corrupted the levers of power that he can be a tyrannical dictator.

But as I’ve written before, Project 2025 will not happen in a political vacuum. It is a fucking testament to how fucking dumb Trump is that EVERYONE KNOWS that if he gets a second term, he’s going to strangle what’s left of American Democracy and turn us into a white Christian ethnostate. His second term will be based on just on revenge, but on making America a nation of blood and soil.

So, if Trump tries to create Trump Tykes or whatever, the 60% of the population that hates MAGA — like me — are going to flip the fuck out. And, as I keep saying, the real wild card is the U.S. Military. I just can’t see them being willing to be MAGA goons, no matter how much Project 2025 believes Tyrant Trump can fix all his problems by simply waving his hand and using the magic pixie dust of the Insurrection Act.

Things just aren’t that simple.

Anyway. Only time will tell, I suppose.

Keep the faith.

A Flaw In Project 2025

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

As I read up on the Nazi consolidation of power in early 1933, I continue to find an interesting flaw in the MAGA Nazi Project 2025 conspiracy. They seem to have a child-like belief that just by having the Insurrection Act in their back pocket they can go about their merry business corrupting the administration of justice.

This is similar how in the days leading up to the Insurrection, John Eastman just kind of waved a hand and said that SCOTUS would be their failsafe. Whatever problems they had in implementing the plot, they knew that the majority MAGA SCOTUS would have their back.

But the thing about the U.S. Military is I’m not willing to assume that they’re willing to be Tyrant Trump’s enforcers, even if there is a thin veneer of legality over Trump’s orders. What the fucking MAGA Nazis are going to probably realize soon enough is that they need a paramilitary arm.

The question is, what happens between the time they invoke the Insurrection Act and when they realize that lulz, maybe the U.S. Military thinks the fucking MAGA Nazis are full of shit and balks at crushing opposition to Project 2025? But it makes a lot of sense that Tyrant Trump at some point in his first 100 days would realize he needed an SA-like organization.

I see there being two possible solutions to his tyrannical problem. One is, he simply weaponizes the already existing ICE infrastructure and turns it into something along the lines of the SS, rather than the SA. That seems the quickest way to “legally” crush dissent. Simply increase the size of ICE dramatically and train them to knock heads.

Meanwhile, there *are* a lot of different little paramilitary groups floating around who are just begging to become the official goons of Tyrant Trump. But that would take time to organize and ramp up. And, what’s more, the United States in 2025 is not Germany in 1933.

The United States is far more decentralized, has a far bigger population and a far stronger tradition of democracy to the point that “land of the free” is kind of our brand. So if Tyrant Trump organizes a paramilitary group to organize and murder people using extra-legal means….people might notice and care.

What is clear to me is that Project 2025 is nothing more than a set up for revolution and counter-revolution (civil war.) In fact, if Project 2025 “catches the car” it seems that we’re on the eve of a historical event unequalled since the French Revolution.

Keep the faith.

‘Never Again’

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

As I grow more and more and concerned about the implications of the MAGA Nazi plot Project 2025, I find myself alarmed at how our Jewish friends are not freaking out in a more conspicuous and public manner. I continue to read about the first 100 days of the Nazis’ consolidation of power in early 1933 and I’m quite spooked.

One of the lessons of that time is the fucking Nazis were able to use their paramilitary arm the SA to browbeat the 48% of the population that didn’t support them into at least being pliant.

The thing is — I know that whatever happens to Jewish people under Tyrant Trump is going to inevitably happen to *me* too. I’m not Jewish but I am a loudmouth drunk crank who is not above calling Tyrant Trump a small-dicked cocksucker.

There are two curious things about MAGA that separates it from the Nazis.

One is, MAGA is a symptom of a declining empire that wants to turn inward. I think this will lead to a total reordering of the global system established after WW2. The United States will pull out of NATO and South Korea and, lulz, maybe even align itself with Russia, Hungary and Turkey.

Also, at least for the time being, MAGA isn’t as virulent in its antisemitism. The issue of MAGA becoming antisemites seems to be a forgone conclusion because form follows function. And, remember, Tyrant Trump is old as fuck and it could be that President Carlson or President MTG starts to go after the Jewish community, even if the Late President Forever had Jewish people in his direct family.

As such, I wish Jewish people of all stripes would be a bit more public in their freak out about the aims of Project 2025. It is clear that Project 2025 is nothing less than an attempt to transition the United States into a fascist state like that found in Nazi Germany. The only thing they don’t have — at the moment — is an official paramilitary arm like the SA.

Maybe a weaponized ICE will fill that role as Project 2025 begins to corrupt the administration of justice? Whatever fills that role, it probably will be done under the cover of some sort of faux legal bullshit.

The point is — rather than flee the country starting in late 2024, early 2025 using their second passports, Americans of all stripes need well-heeled Jewish people to stay and fight. Never again means never again.

Will Abortion Serve The Purpose Of Slavery As The Issue That Sparks A Civil War?

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Oh boy. It definitely seems as though we’re marching towards Something Big starting in late 2024, early 2025. And at the center of this potential clusterfuck is the issue of abortion. The thing about abortion is once you get past the moralization over the topic by the Right, it’s actually an economic issue because the real target is not abortion but legal birth control.

Legal abortion has always served as a legal firebreak for keeping birth control legal in the United States. Now that that firebreak is no more, the momentum on the right is to outlaw all contraception — even for married people. That’s the ultimate endgame.

So, the stage is set for Trump as part of the larger Project 2025 conspiracy, outlawing abortion on a national basis in 2025. This seems inevitable at this point, if Congress is controlled by MAGA in 2025. If there is a national abortion band just as Project 2024 is pissing everyone off through the corruption of the levers of power, then, oh boy….there could be a Resistance Revolution, which will in turn, provoke a National Divorce started by Reds.

In the middle, of course, will be the U.S. Military. In the end, what the U.S. Military decides to do will be the issue that ultimately decide the fate of the United States. Remember, at the moment, even with Project 2025, the fucking MAGA Nazis don’t have a paramilitary under their direct guidance like the Nazis did with the SA.

I suppose that will change, of course. And that doesn’t even begin to address the issue of the ICE infrastructure being weaponized.

But the issue remains — could a national abortion ban be the thing that finally brings America to his knees? At the moment, I just don’t know. I am, however, very worried.

Project 2025 Won’t Happen In A Political Vacuum

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

For all the dark implications of the MAGA Nazi Project 2025 conspiracy, there is one element to that particular clusterfuck that we have to remember: it won’t happen in a vacuum.

What this means is while the people behind Project 2025 have a vision as to how they’re going to corrupt the levers of power, it’s unlikely that the American populace is just going to lulz it. That’s why, of course, Project 2025 wants to have the U.S. Military bash people’s heads in using the Insurrection Act.

But there’s a problem.

The U.S. Military isn’t the Nazi SA. There is a pretty good chance that the U.S. Military may balk at being told to crush any resistance in the streets to Tyrant Trump’s efforts to transition the United States into a full-blown autocracy. This makes one wonder a few things.

One is, is it possible that the Project 2025 people will be forced to create some sort of SA group. Also, will they decide to weaponize the existing ICE infrastructure as a way to supplement the Insurrection Act. Turning ICE into a secret police-like organization would give fix a lot of problems for them.

Also, what happens between the time that Project 2025 starts to transition the United States into a tyrannical state under cover of corrupted justice and when they get things sorted out on the paramilitary and secret police fronts?

The interesting thing about Project 2025 is is makes some basic assumptions that may not be true. One is that America’s are so placid that any uprising could be crushed by a reluctant U.S. Military. Another is that in a nation as huge, decentralized and diverse as the United State that they could end American freedom and not provoke not just riots in the streets but something akin to a revolution.

And this is where things get even worse.

If Project 2025 isn’t able to browbeat the 60% of the population that fucking hates MAGA Nazis into submission and they rebel, then there might be a counter-revolution — or secession — on the part of the 40% of the American population that loves the fucking MAGA Nazis and *wants* a MAGA Nazi autocracy.

Of course, it’s possible that none of this will happen. Not only will Biden win re-election, but Trump won’t, unto himself, be able to cause a secession crisis by demanding a National Divorce.

The point is — late 2024, early 2025 is potentially really, really dark and turbulent.

Vice President Tucker?

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Ding-dong Trump spins off so much bullshit that you never can quite tell if he means anything he says. But he apparently has mentioned recent that he’s open to naming Tucker Carlson –of all people — to be his second term veep. The only reason why I find this curious (beyond the obvious) is Trump would be bucking the macro political trend in American politics of naming a woman as veep.

Anyway. Given how fucking fat and old ding-dong would-be Tyrant Trump is, if Carlson was Trump’s Veep would have to think seriously about what type of president he would make. Given his youth and focus, I do think he could be the guy who transitioned the United States into a Russian-style managed democracy.

We will wake up 20 years from now — or sooner — and wonder why the United States is invading Canada in a quest to “cure the woke mind virus” found there. I’m not joking. That would be a real possibility.

And I think given that he has absolutely zero government experience, the first few years of Carlson’s presidency would be very, very rocky. But he would use the Project 2025 framework far more effectively and, lulz, there you go. We slide peacefully into autocracy and drunk cranks like me get an ICE bullet to the head.
