‘American Terminators?’

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

If things get as dark as I fear and the USA collapses into chaos, war and destruction, it would make a lot of sense if two ideas fuse together — LLMs and all those androids that Boston Dynamics is working on.

So, as the war between Blue and Red drags on and more and more of the country is consumed by hate, I could see Blue and Red essentially using “Terminators” on each other. This is a very, very dark scenario. I do not want it happen, but it has to be broached.

The USA is on the cusp of collapse for macro historical reasons. This is a prime example of “you go bankrupt gradually, then all at once.”

And, yet, there is a real possibility that I’m overthinking all of this. It’s possible that Agenda 2025 will be implemented peacefully, about 1 million smug wealthy liberals will leave the country and that will be that.

Only time will tell.

We Have To Talk About That Kamala Harris Blind Item Rumor

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

A long time ago, maybe years ago, I saw a blind item about Kamala Harris that stunned me — allegedly, she made a sex-tape with her former beau Montel Williams. Or something like that, it was a long time ago, but who it was with isn’t as important as the rumor — imagine what would happen if there WAS a Harris sex tape.

I do not believe one exists. I think it’s all bullshit. But given how, well, fucking hateful Trump is — and how he’s already tipped his hand on how he’s going to attack her dating history — one can just imagine him ranting about the existence of a non-existent sex tape.

Then we all have to think about such a sex tape for the next few months while the future of our fading democracy hangs in the balance. Ugh.

Again — I do not believe it’s real. Most, maybe all, blind items are fake. But it is a testament to how white knuckled and hateful Trump is that if Harris became the president or nominee he would probably latch on to the idea that a Harris sex tape DID exist.

Deposing Trump

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

First, some context: I do not see myself as any sort of “revolutionary.” I just love to run scenarios. So, relative to me, this is just running the, “How would you depose Trump?” scenario. I mean no harm. I don’t actually want any of this to happen in the real world.

But I do love a good scenario, so here goes.

The key thing to remember is to remember both how decentralize the USA is on an existential basis and how Godawful dumb and lazy Trump is. So, if Trump manages to become POTUS again — which looks like he is as of right now — his natural inclination will be to go “full tyrant” within moments of being sworn in.

This is where things get….uhhh….interesting.

Way, way, way, WAY too many people — especially older well-meaning white liberals on Facebook — seem to think just posting a sick burn of Trump on social media means jack shit. It does not. It just makes you look like a fool. So, if Trump really does go “full tyrant,” well, some one somewhere is going to have to risk some “lives and sacred honor” in the real world.

In general, it seems like easiest course of action for Blues if Trump goes full tyrant would be a General Strike — people in Blue States just don’t go to work until their conditions are met.

I could see the main condition being Trump and his veep stepping down (if the Speaker of the House is a Democrat) or in some way forcing SCOTUS to “review” their decision about the 14th Amendment and Trump. But even if the “good guys” won this initial victory, a civil war would break out because Texas, etc., would be enraged that Trump had to step down.

And that doesn’t begin to address how Trump would not leave office easily. A lot of people would get hurt because he would send Red National Guard troops into Blue States — even if there was no General Strike!

So, let’s call the whole thing off. Rather than any talk of “deposing” Trump, just leave the country if you can.

‘General Strike’

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

All I got when it comes to “deposing” Tyrant Trump, should it come to that, is a Blue General Strike. If the general American economy cratered because Blues — and specifically women — just didn’t show up to work for a few days, maybe the U.S. Military might be…persuaded…to get SCOTUS to review its 14th Amendment ruling about Trump?

Maybe?

Anything that happened would have to have a thin veneer of legality to it. But, of course, even if Trump just quit, him being forced out would cause a civil war because Reds would leave the Union — even if they were ok with the new MAGA veep turned POTUS.

(Talk about surreal.)

Though, I suspect if Trump were deposed that….arrangements….would be made so a non-MAGA POTUS would become president soon afterwards. I don’t want any of this to happen because….uhhh…the whole thing would be a total catastrophe.

2025: Dictatorship In America

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

The key issue whenever you think about what Trump might do if he wins is how stupid and lazy he is. It is clear that autocracy has the historical momentum at this point and the US — at least the Red parts — have decided that our future lies with some sort of white Christian ethnostate.

But — and this “but” is key — the person history has designated to turn America into the inevitable is so fucking dumb and lazy that he could very well be deposed soon after he starts to go full tyrant (probably through a Blue General Strike.)

Or something. Something like that.

I’m just some rando in the middle of nowhere, but I do love to run scenarios, so you get this bit of drivel that no one should read or take seriously. I can’t predict the future, but, on a macro basis, it definitely seems as though Something Bad is going to happen one way or another in the USA starting in late 2024, early 2025.

At the moment, I would guess it will go something like this — Trump wins, goes full tyrant, gets deposed then a civil war happens when Red States leave the Union. But that’s just one of a variety of scenarios that exist on a pretty wide spectrum.

Anyway. Who knows what is going to happen. I am very worried, I must admit. Very, very worried.

Why The USA Could Buckle

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

The key thing to think about going forward is how decentralized the USA is. We have all these states that are semi-autonomous. So, if Trump goes full tyrant on us, it’s easy to imagine Blue states saying “fuck that” and uniting against him. As such, it would be Blues — not Reds — who start a civil war.

Remember, as I keep saying, it makes no sense for Reds to start a civil war — they’re the ascendant ones. Meanwhile, Blues have the population, economic power and skilled workers and yet politically keep getting shat upon by idiot Reds.

So if the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 happens in the early days of 2025, Blue states — probably starting with California — could very well start to leave the Union. And going forward in any civil war, the Bear State Republic would be the “arsenal of democracy.”

Now, remember, none of this would happen in a vacuum. The DPRK could whiz a few H-bombs our way if we buckle. WW3 will happen if the USA is too busy consuming itself to keep the global peace — about 2 billion people could die from limited nuclear exchanges around the globe.

What’s more, there is STILL a chance that if Trump either loses or wins and is deposed — by a General Strike? — that it is Reds who leave the Union and start a civil war.

Bottomline — revolution / civil war is a very real possibility now in the USA starting at any point after the November election.

The USA May Collapse Soon

I’ve written so much about this that I’m tired of talking about it.

But the USA has a very decentralized form of government. If Trump’s incoming agenda is as radical as we all fear, the country could buckle. And if it doesn’t buckle in fall, it could buckle in the winter or spring.

And, yet, no one listens to me. I’m known to be really paranoid about such things and then nothing happens.

So, who knows.

Worry

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I have written a GREAT DEAL about various civil war and revolution scenarios over the last four or so years. Many, many, many words and videos have been done on these two subjects by me.

A lot goes on in my Webstats that I just don’t see for various reasons. But today, I saw someone using Starlink in NYC looking at my civil war scenario whereby it’s the Blues, not Reds who leave the Union. I can’t predict the future, I have no idea what is going to happen.

But I do know that the Federalist Society is maybe gloating a little too much in a little bit too conspicuous manner. It is very possible that, in the end, it will be Blues, not Reds, who start a civil war. I still don’t think it will be any sort of clean “National Divorce” — the war will be a direct civil war over the USA “brand.”

And, if it happens, I fear it will be a fucking fight to the absolute death.

I really, really, REALLY don’t want anything like that to happen. But, lulz, out of my hands, folks.

Are We Going To Have A Civil War?

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I can’t predict the future. And I have no special insight into what may — or may not — happen in late 2024, early 2025. But at the moment, just around July 4th, 2024, I would say, yes, the USA is probably going to have a civil war soon.

I say this because we have a few scenarios ahead of us:

  1. Trump loses — no civil war
  2. Trump loses — civil war
  3. Trump wins — Project 2025 happens peacefully
  4. Trump and is deposed by Blues — civil war
  5. Trump wins, Project 2025 is too radical and Blues leave before he’s sworn in

    I have no idea of any of these might actually happen. But I am worried that they might. I’ve written so much about all of this over the last four years that I don’t know if there’s anymore for me to say at this point.

    Now, we just wait and see.

Anybody Got A Macro ‘Black Swan Event’ Laying Around?

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

The most powerful nation in human history needs some random macro event to save it from itself. A nice war between the two Koreas or China and Taiwan would be great right about now.

Or maybe Biden drops out? (But that wouldn’t fix the macro problems we face.)

Something, ANYTHING, to avoid what seems inevitable at this point — some sort of fucking “Fourth Turning” event starting in late 2024, early 2025. At the moment, I got nothing.

We’re totally, royally fucked. Either Trump wins and we have to put up with his tyrannical Project 2025 bullshit or he loses and we have a civil war. And that doesn’t even address the broader macro problem — even if Trump was out of the picture, the USA is headed towards fascism one way or another.

So….lulz?
