I don’t know what to tell you, folks. Trump continues to be a fascist thug as he grows more and more hysterical over the prospect of being indicted in New York City. The latest evidence of this can be seen below.
The thing about Trump is he is such a lazy moron that the things that he can get what he wants — his base to start political violence — by just being hysterical and posting shit like the above photo. He believes this because he’s often gotten a lot of what he wanted otherwise because of the political fear the system has in regards to him.
But as history will attest — being a Great Man of history is hard work and requires a level of cognitive ability that Trump simply doesn’t have. He’s just an avatar for the structural problems in the United States at the moment so, to date, he’s not really had to do much work.
The question is, of course, what happens when the conditions are right for another January 6th type situation. Then what. I’ve given it some thought and I fear even if my absolute worst fear happened — a series of coordinated attacks around the country with AR-15 armed MAGA psychopaths — that that would still not be enough to break the Trump fever.
Even if this happened and there was ABSOLUTE PROOF that it was done by MAGA in an effort to scare the authorities into not doing anything about Trump, the same dynamic as January 6th would happen.
The center-Left would freak out and think, “Well, THIS will be the thing that ends MAGA.” Meanwhile, the center-Right would, after a few days of angst, embrace MAGA even tighter and think up whatever they had to in an effort to gaslight those 100,000 voters across five swing states that the whole thing was some sort of Deep State false flag operation.
I mean, we all saw exactly what happened on January 6th and the Republican Party has come to believe that either they are all patriots or members of a false flag operation, depending on what helps them win an argument with people like me.
So, as I keep saying — it’s autocracy or civil war starting in late 2024, early 2025.
