I am very blasé, in real terms, about how the USA is now has an elected monarch with today’s SCOTUS decision. Whatever. I have a novel to work on. And I’m well aware that if anyone actually listened to any of my past rantings about this particular situation they probably would grow alarmed.
There’s no reason to be alarmed! All my past ranting was just me struggling to accept the fact that MAGA on a macro basis is determined to turn us into a fascist state. I have a passport. If all else fails, I can just leave the country as part of the America diaspora that will begin when Tyrant Trump becomes POTUS.
I’m very harmless. I really am. Very, very harmless. I’m a man of ideas. A man of peace.
But I think we have to accept that this is it. Late 2024, early 2025 could see some of the most profound events not just in American history, but human history. If the USA buckles, as many as 2 billion people could die because of limited nuclear exchanges across the globe.
Yet there is nothing I can do. I suppose if the absolute worst happened I might be able to help feed people in my neighborhood, but given that I’m Blue in a Red part of Virginia — I’m going to have to flee North, probably.
America is, on a macro basis, set to either become a fascist state in 2025, or buckle in a rather profound manner. Only time will tell which choice we will make.
