No one listens to me. Unless, of course, you’re an FBI agent in Washington D.C. who comes to this site to print out any blog post I might do about Alexa Chung. (Ugh.)
But I will note something — it would make a lot of sense for Lara Trump to run for Senate in North Carolina, win, then run for president, win, and serve as the “velvet” president to the “fist” of vice president Josh Hawley.
Or, put another way, as I keep saying, the United States is an autocracy without an autocrat. Not for nothing did a huge chunk of the electorate vote for “the guy from The Apprentice.” They wanted an autocrat and they got an empty suit.
So, they made the psychological reasoning necessary for our current barely-functioning liberal democracy to be strangled. As such, there are now about a half dozen would-be autocrats lurking around, trying to figure out how to get around Trump so they can finish the job he started.
Just enjoy this brief respite from autocracy while you can. We’re now officially in the “Weimar Republic” phase of United State history. The macro one-two punch of the browning of America combined with non-college educated blue collar men not being able to get laid is simply too much for the American political system to handle.
We’re totally, completely, fucked.
If you can get out of the country now, do so. Or if you can’t you really need to start taking the rise of autocracy in the United States seriously. Are you willing to suffer for freedom? Well, are you?
