If You Think Democracy is ‘Mob Rule’ You Got a Problem

I continue to be amazed by the Traditionalists in my life who either both sides everything into meaningless or just look at me and say, “That’s not going to happen” without any back up explanation.

This same person is also well known for recursive, caveman political thinking when it comes to voter rights which boils down to, “Shut up, it’s true because I say so,” like they’re my parent and I’m their moron child. They want to make it as hard to vote as possible without admitting the reason is they’re racist and don’t want POC to be able to vote because if they do, Republican policies are so unpopular they won’t win elections. (The idea that they might pull their head out of their ass and think up policies that might appeal to brown and black people apparently is too difficult for them.)

Part of all of this is the idea that democracy is bad. The idea that it’s “mob rule” and any time the will of the people is blocked, you can hide behind how the United States is a “constitutional republic” not a democracy. Well, if you think that, fuck you. Fuck you personally.

It’s shit like people hating on democracy that makes me believe we’re either going to have a civil war or turn into an autocracy. Again, if you think I’m being “hysterical” with my “doom shit” — fuck off and fuck you. While you have an ideology, I have cold hard facts to back up what I believe.

And I know I got Trump wrong the first time, but we won’t be so lucky the second time if he runs — and he is going to run. And if you don’t think he is — fuck you. He keeps telegraphing that he is going to run again and he’s popular enough with the mouth breathing hoards that he’s going to win, even without Steve K. Bannon’s “administrative coup.” And all those people who thought Trump is the past and they can vote “three times” for DeSantis will have to do some soul searching.

Of course, in the end, they’ll vote for Trump again because they’re Good Germans who can’t handle doing the right thing and gritting their teeth to save the “mob rule” of democracy.

And if you vote Republican, you’re signing my death warrant because I’m never shutting the fuck up. Even to the point that ICE murders me cold blood.

A Second American Civil War Would Be A Massive Self-Own By The MAGA New Right

Absolutely no one listens to me. Absolutely no one cares what I think. And, with my luck, should anyone ever notice that my dire predictions for America’s future are, in fact, rapidly becoming a reality, they still won’t care because I’m a kook. I mean, it’s not like I write for Vox or anything. I need to work on my received English vocal fry for that to work — have to have that air of authority in my voice.

But the thing I think about all the time now is how the MAGA New Right would have to be EXTREMLY STUPID to push us into a Second American Civil War. It would be so stupid that I find myself reviewing over and over in my mind how something so dumb could possibly happen.

And, yet, Trump has time and again proven that he really is a massive self-own artist. He always takes the path of most stupid. He always says the quiet part out loud. So, I could see him at some point in late 2024, early 2025, about to become president again — and he blows it. He is such a fucking dickhead to the Blue States as he transitions the country to autocracy that states begin to pop off of the Union, probably starting with California.

Then I could see a form of revolution race through Blue States and we’re going to the show — civil war. Given the wide array of advantages that the Blue States have over Red States, I then could see Red States begin to use WMD on Blue States to make up the difference.

And THAT would be just the beginning.

One thing I find myself falling into is a sense that 2ACW would be just like the first with a clear beginning – middle – end, when, in fact, it could be far, far more muddled. You could see the most powerful nation in the world fall into a series of warlord – controlled areas and regional alliances. Race war in the South would be a real possibility. We’re talking fucking Turner Diaries levels of bullshit.

So, to that extent, the Republican Party has a Trump problem. If someone like DeSantis (who at least one person in my family loves so much that they want to “vote three times for”) is the nominee, then we really do slip peacefully into autocracy.

And let me note at that this point that I’m aware that I sound “hysterical” and got Trump and 2020 wrong, so why should anyone listen to me now? All I can say is, if we have to wait until I’m actually right for once for Traditionalists to make common cause with libtards, then, guess who is dead in a ditch because ICE got mad at them and who isn’t?

It is the refusal of political Traditionalists to not always, always, always succumb to negative polarization and to never take the threat of fascism seriously that forces me to read a book about the rise of Hitler. And that’s the thing — there is every reason to believe that we’ll turn into a fascist state peacefully just like Germany in the 30s.

In fact, all the momentum at the moment is for that very thing to happen. But there remains a little, nagging voice in my mind that tells me we just don’t know yet which way things will go.

Stay tuned.

The Time Of Preparation For Autocracy — Or Civil War — Has Begun

One of the most frustrating things of late is seeing how fucking clueless some of the name brand Twitter “Resistance” accounts continue to be about Trump. While they’re sucking their own cocks with lengthy, breathless Twitter rants, bonkers MAGA New Right traitors like The Patriot Front are preparing in the real world for real world eventualities.

Twitter liberals still think they can just mentally masturbate their way to single handedly holding Trump accountable and saving American democracy from certain doom.

I mean, what the fucking what?

We have to see things for what the are, not how we believe them to be. The United States is only a democracy now because of a quirk of fate. And, if you want to be charitable, maybe Mike Pence simply doing his job. Otherwise, Trump would be in his second term and we would be talking about who his hand-picked successor was going to be and the upcoming Constitutional Convention to pass a “balance budget amendment.”

Huge swaths of the American political system want autocracy. Everyone from plutocrats to “real (white) Americans” in the Heartland want an autocracy. Some of them want an autocracy without even realizing that by supporting the MAGA New Right that’s exactly what they’re going to get.

Only when it becomes personal — a family member who won’t shut the fuck up about how President Ron DeSantis is a fucking tyrannical cucksucker, perhaps — will they sit up and take notice. This will be happening, of course as said family member is being taken away by ICE for God only knows what to happen to them. Then it will be to late. I, I mean, THEY, will be dead, or tortured or whatever the fuck ICE is going to start doing to be people who dare challenge the autocrat.

Or maybe it won’t be ICE. Maybe it will be the freikorps of The Patriot Front who will be doing autocrat President Ron DeSantis’ bidding. But the fact will remain — the people who could have saved American democracy by making common cause with libtards NOW, won’t fucking do it because they tacitly support the policy of the autocrat.

So, people like me are fucked.

Either I get out of the country while I still can or prepare to cross the autocrat. I guess if you really wanted to get dark, you might suggest that I could join the Blue States war movement should there be a civil war. All I can do is write and speak well….and that never did anything for anyone, right? Wink.

Anyway.

Good luck.
