All the signs are there that we’re all going to have to grab the metaphorical bug out bag and head safety within my lifetime. I don’t know exactly when it will happen or why, but it’s going to happen.
I am well aware that I’ve been pontification about this possibility for a long, long, long time and absolutely nothing happens. And I’m not really saying that “this time is different.”
I’m just saying that the centrifugal political forces are gaining in speed and power and soon there is going to be a revolution and / or a civil war. And probably WMD will be lobbed by either side against each other.
Think of it as a “slow implosion” rather than a “slow civil war.” The two sides are growing more and more extreme, even though it’s really just the MAGA cocksuckers going nuts and then Blues in a half-assed kind of way *trying* to “resist.”
I think the slack in the system will tighten up should Trump run for a third term, or clamp down on freedom of speech in a more direct way than he’s been doing. Besides suing anyone he doesn’t like, Trump really hasn’t in a ham-handed way been a real dictator against the press.
When he goes full dictator against the media, then all bets are off.
