While I don’t seriously think I’ll become a domestic political refugee, there is a non-zero chance that it might happen starting at some point in late 2024, early 2025 if the country buckles. And it could happen no matter who wins.
If Trump wins, it might happen because he goes full tyrant.
If he loses, it might happen because he rants about the need for a National Divorce.
So, I don’t know. It really could happen either way. I’m going to try to hold out as long as I can. But I suppose if things get too tense, I can at least make it as far as Richmond before I have to fish or cut bait. I do think Virginia will be the first state to collapse if the country buckles.
It takes a special type of person to successfully run for president. You have to have drive, grit and an astonishingly enormous ego. And, yet, Joe Biden just dropped out very, very late in the overall process.
Biden hasn’t been seen in a few days after getting COVID.
It makes you wonder — is Joe Biden ok?
I have no inside information — I’m just a rando living in oblivion — but I am concerned that there is a chance that Biden’s physical state could be far worse than we’re being told.
It definitely would make a lot of sense. A lot of sense.
A long time ago, I saw a blind item about the possible existence of a Kamala Harris sextape that she did with Montel Williams while they were dating. It was a long time ago and it was a blind item, so, lulz, I’m sure it either doesn’t exist now or never existed in the first place.
But such ideas have got me thinking that a faux Harris sextape dropped late in October sure would be a nasty “October Surprise” to worry about. I only even bring any such thing up because of all the racist and misogynistic sewage that is being spewed her way already.
I hope I’m overthinking things and being paranoid — as usual.
I’m growing more and more bored of thinking about this, but I have to note how weird it is that “Jcal” has decided to drink the Kool-Aid when it comes to MAGA. Weird. Totally weird.
He used to be one of the more even-minded of the “All-In” podcast group. Now, wow. Just wow. Totally bonkers for MAGA. Anyway, whatever. He has more success than I will ever have.
What do I know. Though I will note that Industrialists always go “all-in” for fascists in…the beginning.
The above is apparently the ‘bright idea” that the Democrats have to figure out who the nominee will be should Biden drop out. It’s totally insane and bonkers. But it proves a point — Democrats needs to fish or cut bait with Biden.
I’m not a Democrat — I’m an anti-MAGA independent — so I feel a bit more detached than most people observing all this. But definitely FEELS like we’re in something of a political death spiral when it comes to Biden’s future. It definitely FEELS like Biden is going to drop out — probably within the next few days.
But, who knows. He could endup saying, “The Aristocrats!” at the end of all of this and we just have figure out what we’re going to do with him as the standard barer going forward.
As I keep saying, I’m prone to “magical thinking.” That is, thinking that really doesn’t have much connection to reality. It’s the type of weird thinking that caused people to think that they could cure COVID by….drinking bleach?
But given improvements in AI video technology, I have an unease about what might happen in the near, near future. The plot of Live Free or Die Hard revolves around some huge terrorist attack being faked via the use of deep fake technology (or something.)
I just worry…what if something like that happened as part of us careening towards civil war / revolution in late 2024, early 2025? I worry.
Generally, absolutely no one listens to me. I live in oblivion. But I have been ranting and ranting and ranting AND RANTING for years now that late 2024, early 2025 could be a Holy Shit moment in our nation’s history.
I only mention this because someone in Milwaukee*, where the RNC took place recently, looked at what of my hysterical posts from late 2020 where I had all these crazy ideas as to how Trump could stay in power. None of them, I will note, mentioned anything about him inciting an insurrection, natch.
But it does make me wonder — given how fucking much I’ve ranted about the possibility of a civil war / revolution….is it possible someone, somewhere is actually now, at last paying attention to me?
If they are, I don’t quite know what to make of such a thing. It would be totally out of the ordinary for my living-in-oblivion life. I have also caught the attention of someone who was apparently in the NYC area and now is in the DC area.
That would usually make me ecstatic — someone of note gives a shit about me! — but I’m also worried that he / she is an FBI or Secret Service agent worried I’m going to freak out and hurt someone. UGH. I hate that. I hate the idea that just because I’m a kook and have strong opinions about politics I have to worry that I’m on some sort of fucking watch list.
I’m totally, completely fucking harmless. Totally. I hate guns. I hate conflict. I am, I will admit, a kook. But that’s it. I really, really, REALY fucking hate guns.
Let’s see if anyone listens to me about that part.
No matter what happens this fall, there is a real risk of domestic political violence in the United States at a level not seen since the end of the Civil War. There is a non-zero chance that the most powerful nation the world has ever seen could buckle because of some pretty dumb shit.
What’s worse, the state I live in — Virginia — is two states, one Red, one Blue, fused together who hate each other. So if the absolute worst happens, there’s a good chance that I will become a domestic political refugee.
I wish I was joking, but I’m not. I could literally have to make good on all my quips about “heading North.” And I’m sure — sure — that somehow I’m going to endup in some sort of waystation in Maryland before I being shipped to a bigger refugee camp somewhere like upstate New York or maybe Maine.
But we have to start to buckle down and game out, on a personal basis, what the fuck we’re going to do should the absolute worst happen. I’m not smart enough to tell you what you should do, but I can tell you that you need to take all of this seriously.
We could be seriously f u c k e d no matter what happens. If Trump wins, he could go full tyrant and be deposed, which would cause a civil war when Red States leave the Union. If he loses, he could demand a National Divorce and…civil war.
But I am known for magical (over) thinking and so…maybe nothing will happen? Maybe Project 2025 will happen, about 1 million smug Twitter liberals will leave the country….and that’s it? About 20 million people will be put into camps, God-only-knows-what will happen to them and it will be just a Big Meh?
I just don’t know what is going to happen. No one does. But I would definitely accept that This Could Be It.
It definitely seems as though because of Biden’s vanity and ego, we’re all going to be forced to go through the five stages of grief over the next few days. We’re currently at something along the lines of negotiation, I think.
The question now is how long does it take for him to reach the finial stage — acceptance? I wish he would get it over with and do it this weekend. But, alas, it could be that he waits until the very, very last moment — which would be right before the Democratic Convention in a few weeks.
It’s kind of a worst case scenario, all around.
But, here we are.
And I really, really don’t want him to quit. That would leave us without a veep during a very sensitive and potentially volatile moment in our nation’s history.
What the fuck is going on with Jason Calacanis? He is far more wealthy and successful than I will ever be, but recently he’s become a uhhh….beta? A mid? When it comes to his politics.
He’s all-in (pardon the pun) with Trump and I can only assume he’s doing so at the behest of his best-bud Elon Musk. It seems very…beta of him. Have some self-respect, man.
But here we are, with @Jason on Twitter sucking Trump’s political cock — and urging everyone else to do the same thing in a very conspicuous way. Industrialists are never wrong, are they? ARE THEY?
Industrialists have never, ever picked a candidate for short term gain that ultimately destroyed everything….have they? HAVE THEY?
