I freely admit I made the prediction, four years ago, that "there won't be a (real) 2024 election"; the Uniparty has too much to lose. I also admit I remain inclined to that position.
HOWEVER, Last night I saw R.F. Kennedy Jr presenting his V.P. pick. And I heard them speak. And I think if they DO get on the ballot in all 50 states, they can absolutely cut-the-balls-off the corrupt DemonRat party over the next seven months. Kennedy/Shanahan leave the DemonRat party looking unfashionably butt-naked, even to their own voting contingency, in any direct comparison. No wonder the DemonRats are using Lawfare against JFK; they fear him (as they should).
ALSO, I thought this article was especially interesting because it -- intelligently -- lays out the case that, perhaps, Our Masters are already too exposed and too befuddled: all their 'clever' machinations failing so spectacularly and PUBLICLY, that they look more like clowns than like competent politicians and administrators. In other words, at some point, even they might realize it is time to "run away" in the hope they might "live to fight another day".
Let's face it, they are losing their public benefit of the doubt at an accelerating rate. People who, even ten years ago, thought I was “extreme” in my paranoia, are now sounding like me -- or even more extreme. At some point, maybe they should grab the cash and get out of Dodge?
I mean, the All Powerful Washington D.C./Deep State/ Corporate Kleptocracy has convinced a rapidly expanding majority of Americans that they are CRIMINALS, TRAITORS, and -- worst of all -- GROSSLY INCOMPETENT CLOWNS.
So, I am posting this article, and not claiming the idea is my own. I am, in fact, going to proceed with my own fairly dramatic plans for a better life outside the US and I plan to see them through. Regardless of the outcome of the coming elections, I think the US too far along its collapse trajectory.
And I want OUT of the Clown Show, regardless. It should be, if nothing else, an exciting adventure.
Excerpt from the article:
---
"All of this talk about preparing for political violence and race riots is another case of conservatives gearing up to fight the last war. The enemy is good at creating chaos, but that won’t help them — their guy is in charge.
So they probably can’t beat Trump, and it doesn’t seem like they have the juice to try that hard.
The smart thing to do — which also happens to be the easiest thing for a massive faceless managerial state to do — is nothing.
Let Trump back in, and fight him on home turf — in the maze of the executive bureaucracy. Some of his backers have announced their intention to become politically competent in the event that he wins — but compared to the alternatives, that’s a very manageable risk.
More importantly: let Trump hold the bag for the all-but-guaranteed economic calamity of the next four years. The regime could skate for another decade if they succeed in pinning the collapse on a dangerous, erratic right-wing upstart.
How should we prepare?
If there is any uptick in violence to prepare for, it’s likely to be the low-grade violence of crime and immiseration, so the way to prepare is to secure assets that can’t be inflated away or digitally expropriated, and avoid jurisdictions where your rights to property and self-defense are unlikely to be respected."
