The System Is Not Working


by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Besides “Mueller, She Wrote,” blocking me for my “doom shit,” another reason why I got beef with that popular Twitter liberal account is it seems so very clueless about any expectations that some “boom” is going to save us. Rather than expecting ANY accountability for Trump or the extended MAGA New Right, I would hunker down, start reading up on the rise of Hitler and the beginning of the First American Civil war and figure out what you’re willing to do for what you believe in. (In the real world!)

Barring something pretty dramatic I can’t factor in, the years 2024 – 2025 are going to be a historic clusterfuck of monumental scale. The entire post-WW2 liberal order could collapse once a civil war starts in the US. And, really, a civil war doesn’t even have to start. If we get a MAGA autocrat in 2025, then NATO is dead and everything is going to get scrambled and thrown in the air for a few years.

Remember, all of that would be happening right now but for Trump being a lazy moron who could not be a Great Man. The people who voted for Trump in 2016 voted for an autocrat. They thought they were getting an American Hitler. But, lulz, they just got a moron.

So, history is in something of a pause mode at the moment. It will get going again the moment the House flips and Trump (mabye) becomes Speaker. Trump becoming Speaker would be a huge shot across our bow, indicating how totally fucking bonkers the years not just 2024 – 2025 will be but as early as 2023, too.

But the point is — no one is going to save us. America is very unstable right now for a variety of reasons and either we become an autocracy or we have a civil war. Something’s gotta give.

Could The United States Be A ‘Right Wing Dictatorship’ By 2030?


by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Well, well, well, even “normal” people are beginning to wake up how my “hysterical doom shit” about the fate of American democracy maybe ain’t so “doom shit” after all.

SUCK IT, “MUELLER, SHE WROTE”.

So, while the fine people at the “Mueller, She Wrote” sleep comfortably at night with their full size Mueller pillow in hopes that the system will work and Trump will finally be held accountable — surprise! — everyone realizes we’re totally fucked and Mueller, She Wrote are a group of willful fools with their heads up their collective liberal asses.

The origin of this rant is the buzz around the prognostication of one Thomas Homer-Dixon, who, according to Yahoo! News, “is the founding director of the Cascade Institute at Royal Roads University, British Columbia.”

How’d that work out for you, Mueller, She Wrote?

To make a long story short, he pretty much says exactly what I’ve been ranting about for years now — America, despite the hopes of Mueller, She Wrote, is fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkked. The American Second Republic, founded by Lincoln, is on its last legs. Either we become an Right wing autocratic managed democracy, or we have a civil war that might, just MIGHT establish a Third Republic.

Here’s where Homer-Dixon and I disagree — I see 2024 – 2025 being a lot more bumpy than he does. I think we have three options ahead of us — autocracy, military junta or civil war.

Unless we really go A Handmaiden’s Tale route, I struggle to see the United States become a literal Right wing dictatorship by 2030. We’re far more likely to have a civil war were there are portions of the rubble ruled by a Right wing dictator or we have a post-Constitutional Convention America that politically is identical to modern Russia.

Anyway, the point is — get ready. Things are going to get bumpy for everyone not just in America, but in North America and beyond.

America In Red & Blue — The Clusterfuck That Is ‘Don’t Look Up’ Discourse


by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

When it comes to the storytelling disaster that is “Don’t Look Up,” the movie because of its subject matter, is often seen almost exclusively through the lens of Blue and Red. So, you have Blues who defend it because they like the message and Reds who hate it because they feel attacked.

You have Blues who suggest if you don’t like the movie you’re stupid and Red who say if you like the movie you’re just another globalist cuck who wants to take away red meat and milk because of the Green New Deal is socialist.

Ugh.

I was the audience sweetspot for Don’t Look Up, and upon my first attempted viewing I fucking hated it. I love the movie’s politics, but from a storytelling point of view I found it to be a fucking disaster. It should have been Network, but instead it was Mars Attacks.

But I now that I have learned its ending, I definitely think I will grit my teeth try again. I think what I ran into is how messy whacked out the movie becomes at times, when in general, it’s probably a pretty good movie. Maybe I should do the same thing with Booksmart? Maybe I can get past the screeching over lesbian sex positions? I fucking hated that movie. And, again, I’m the (male) sweetspot for the movie!

Anyway, it is a testament to how fucking divided America is right now that everything, even a movie is both produced and viewed through the lens of Blue and Red. Racist fascism is extremely popular in the United States and as I keep saying — either we slip peacefully into autocracy or we have a civil war with no ready endgame.

Derp: Biden Is Really Tempting The Ghost Of William Henry Harrison Leaving Airforce One In A Blizzard


by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Why is everything so dumb. Just seeing ancient as hell Biden come down those Air Force One stairs in the middle of a blizzard evokes the memory of William Henry Harrison.

Ugh.

Hopefully, this is just an instance of an old mule refusing to figure out a way to get out the plane in way better suited to an old man. But remember — if, God forbid, anything happened to Biden, President Harrison would be unlikely to get a 50 / 50 Senate to approve, say, Stacey Abrams to be her veep.

As such, if there was a Speaker Trump, he would be just ONE heartbeat away from the presidency.

What a dark scenario.

A Very Dark ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Scenario


by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I hate to even talk about this dark scenario, but a recent conversation with one of my Traditionalist relatives left me troubled. What if the MAGA New Right finally took someone up on “Let’s Go Brandon?”

The first thing we have to figure out is how and why it happened. If there was no clear link between the MAGA New Right and the event, then, the Right can cry crocodile tears, say “thoughts and prayers” and go back to plotting the end of American democracy.

But if there was some sort of manifesto that said, “I DID THIS BECAUSE OF FOX NEWS,” things grow more problematic. FOX News talking heads and all the hateful MAGA New Right shitheads on Twitter would go dark for 24 to 48 hours while they thought through their talking points. A few less clued-in MAGA New Right shitheads would tweet something tone deaf that go them in trouble.

After a day or so, the same playbook as a really bad mass shooting would be used. This is not the time to politicize this tragedy. We should all unite as a nation (but not behind the new president.) The MAGA New Right would hold their ground, hoping that once people’s anger subsided they could go back to being fucking cocksuckers.

The point is — the MAGA New Right is entirely based on bad faith arguments. They are blood thirsty and are itching to murder people like me in cold blood. At some point, there will be a tipping point — maybe when someone starts to scratch that itch. It could be a civil war, it could be a lone wolf.

But we need to be prepared.

Could Emily Ratajkowski Run For Office?


by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I only mention this because so many fucking people got boners and went looking for sexxy AOC bikini snaps when she went to Miami. This only caught my attention because my Webstats exploded with people who apparently can’t read — I was talking about how the picture DON’ T EXIST you morons. (wink.)

So, we come to Emily Ratajkowski. She is, in my opinion, one of the best looking women in the world. Maybe, at the moment, she is THE best looking woman in the world. And she’s been a nude model a whole lot. She’s very sex positive and made a name of herself being naked a lot.

But this brings us to another element of Ms. Ratajkowski — she’s actually fairly smart and self-aware. (To a certain extent.) So much so that occasionally she’ll make rumblings of her frustration over how difficult it would be for someone like herself to run for office given that we’ve all see her naughty bits.

Which leads to the question — if a woman at any point in her life is recorded being naked does that, by definition, exclude her from running for office?

For the time being, yes. But once Baby Boomers finally collectively fucking drop dead, there’s a chance that Xennials will be far more open to having seen the T&A of their favorite pol for no other reason than so many women will have been nude on the Internet at some point that is will grow moot. We’ll all just have to accept that women — gasp — are human and women they’re young, they are way too casual (at times) with who they show their naughty bits to.

So, the case could be made that starting around 2045, that someone like Ratajkowski probably could run for office and win and no one would blink an eye.

How Do You Compete Against Racist MAGA Fascists In A Failing Democracy?


by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

America faces a very existential crisis — is the United States a “constitutional republic” or a democracy? Now, for those of you playing the home game, it’s quite clear what the answer is: it’s both.

And, yet, here were are.

The center-Right, afraid of scary brown people and liberated women, want to play our creaking Constitution like a xylophone so they can establish autocratic white Christian rule. Instead of doing the hard work of democracy — figuring out why their policies are so unpopular — they are tripling down on their existing hated policies and destroying our democracy while they’re at it.

And, as such, the United States finds itself in something of a pickle.

We’re careening towards a very dark situation in 2024 – 2025 where the issue of what America is will come to the forefront of all our minds with there is a very strong possibility that using the more obscure portions of the Constitution, Republicans will establish permanent white minority rule. And that will be that.

Or not.

There is a small chance of either a military junta being established or a full blown civil war between seceding Blue States and Red States who want to destroy Blue States once and for all. In that case, we would bomb ourselves into oblivion and be thrust into a very dark, uncertain future.

But the issue remains — Republicans are united in their desire to establish a fascist state in the United States, while too often the center-Left has its head so far up its ass that it’s too busy expecting some sort of “boom” to save us. Trump and the fascists are above the law and it’s comical that major Twitter liberal accounts like Mueller, She Wrote would STILL breathlessly report this or that “development” as if it means jackshit.

No one is going to save us. The system isn’t working. It will not work. We’re on our own. Gird your loins for a fucking political catastrophe of some sort between now January 2025.

Why There Will Be A Second American Civil War


by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

If there is another civil war, it will happen because of a severe difference in opinion about what the United States is. The center Right thinks the United States is a Constitutional Republic and, as such, if they fuck with it enough and establish white minority rule, then fuck you. They throw around things like “mob rule” and “even de Tocqueville warned against democracy.”

Meanwhile, the center-Left believes that while the United States IS a Constitutional Republic, it is a de facto Western democracy and a wide ranging set of norms have developed over the years to facilitate a government “by the people, of the people and for the people.”

So, if there is a civil war — and it’s very possible there won’t be and we’ll just slip peacefully into autocracy — at its core it will be because of that difference of opinion. And that difference of opinion comes from white Christians freaking out about the browning and secularization of America. They see the Constitution not as a way to express the will of the people, but a firebreak against the loss of white power on a macro basis.

Now, the dumb thing of all of this is, obviously, that there are any number of scenarios whereby the center-Right gets everything it wants without resorting to violence. So, it would be a huge self-own on the part of the center-Right if they decided to force the issue and cause Blue States to leave the Union which, in turn, would start a civil war where the most powerful nation in the world bombs itself into the Stone Age.

I don’t think one can process at the moment how fucking insane a Second American Civil War would be. Everything would collapse, not just in the United States by the entire world. And there’s no assurance that it would ever be put back together.

Anyway, the point is — gird your loins. The next few years will grow more and more bumpy until they reach a potentially astonishing climax around January 2025.

Y’all Motherfuckers Thirsty For AOC


by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Ugh. Obviously, every horny toad in America had the same idea as I did when they learned AOC was in Miami — did she walk around in a little bikini at some point and did TMZ get the sexxy snaps?

AOC, fully clothed.

This is so dumb because it shows how dumb FOX New Nation is. They’re projecting. They’re thinking with their ding-dong. They see AOC as some sort of libertine progressive-liberal who OBVIOUSLY with run around with no clothes on in Miami given the opportunity.

Fuck those guys. Give me a break.

Now, watch some pictures of her in a bikini leak just as I write that. I would find that hilarious, but there would be a darker significance to it — her political career would probably be ruined. (Which, of course, is why FOX News Nation shitheads have such a boner to find them.)

I have to give the horny Right Wing guys credit, though, they sure are pretty brazen in their hypocrisy.

The Fall Of The Second American Republic


by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

America is at a crossroads. The chief issue of the day is how do you have a functioning republic when one of your two major political parties sees the “constitutional republic” not as a way to have a functioning Western democracy but as an excuse for minority rule?

The answer is, of course, you don’t.

Either you slide peacefully into autocracy, have a military junta or descend into civil war.

But the Second American Republic, the one Lincoln gave his life to found, is in its twilight years. No later than January 2025, it will come to an end one way or another. We will either simply shrug and become an autocracy or we will fucking bomb ourselves into fucking oblivion over cancel culture and CRT.

And, as I keep saying, I just don’t know which option we will chose, which door we will open. It really could go either way at this point. The Right has become so bloodthirsty and so in need of sucking its own cock that they could self-own and start a civil war that they don’t need to get what they want.

It’s all very stupid.

And, yet, that’s where we’re headed. The right feels as those the center-Left is “forcing” them to radicalize. Talk about blaming the victim! Anyway, as I keep saying, it’s over. Either we become an autocracy or we have a civil war and maybe, just maybe, found a Third Republic.

But one thing is for sure — Lincoln’s Second Republic is on its last legs.
