Tag: Fuck MAGA Fuck Trump

Some dark things are bubbling deep inside the American psyche and I just don’t know where it will all lead. It seems on one hand we’re doomed to a fucking MAGA autocratic state and on the other — gulp — political violence equal to a civil war / revolution.

At the moment, it seems if we’re lucky we’ll be something of a zombie democracy like they have in Hungary. If we’re not lucky, then we turn into a carbon copy clone of Russia — a very legalistic autocracy with a thin veener of democracy to it.

What makes all of this worse is there is a sold 37% of the electorate that wants this type of white Christian ethnostate. They’re very twichy about this or that thing being “woke,” but they’re also very much in the driver’s seat when it comes to the political fate of the country.

I think at the moment what happens is we slide into a MAGA autocracy that — at least initially — doesn’t touch freedom of speech. As such, people still get to vent powerlessly about how we’re not longer a democracy, but…we’re still no longer a democracy.

But, eventually, I think MAGA will seize enough control of the country that they will come after even freedom of speech and that will be that. ICE will be our SS or FSB and people like me will be randomly snatched off the street simply for telling MAGA to suck it online.

How long it will take us to get to that point, I don’t know. Maybe 10 years? Maybe sooner?

As for the civil war / revolution option. That is very much touch-and-go. It could go either way, really, but I think if we did go that direction it would probably be because Trump or his successor screwed up and misjudged Blues in a pretty fundimental way and all hell breaks loose.

Hopefully, of course, that won’t happen. I’ve resigned myself to living in a white Christian autocratic ethnostate and I would prefer not to become a refugee because the United States implodes.

At the moment, there is a lot — a LOT — of slack in our political system. Most people are too busy enjoying the last, final days of summer to care about politics. But I fear that at some point in the next few years all that will change in a rather dramatic and possibly tragic fashion.

One scenario — but not the only one — is sometime around the 2026 midterms someone throws a Molotov Cocktail at a cop at just the wrong place and time and the whole country explodes into chaos. Or, specifically, Blue Cities do. And that’s when the fucking cocksuckers of the MAGA Trump regime and ICE will pounce.

They will throw everything they have at Blue Cities — ICE, National Guard troops from Red States — all with the intent of making sure that the 2026 midterms are not free and fair.

And, really, all that doesn’t have to happen for all elections from here on out — at least in my life time — not to be free and fair. The devotion to Trump on the part of MAGA is so absolute for macro reasons that, lulz, we’re going to be a political clone of autocratic Hungary before too long.

Of course, there is the very, very small possibility that Blue states and cities will finally have had enough and some sort of civil war or revolution will break out. I have my doubts that that will ever happen, but it is, if nothing else, at least *possible*.

I don’t want that to happen, but it’s something to mull going forward.

I have written a lot — A LOT –about the possibility of a civil war or revolution in the United States over the years and all I can say besides, welp, I was wrong, is we were very, very “lucky” that Trump won in 2024.

I say this because all the signs pointed towards a civil war if the winy crybabies of MAGA didn’t get their way in 2024.

But now that Trump is in power again — ugh — a lot of things are going on at the same time. On one hand, there’s a huge amount of slack in the political system when it comes to people attacking Trump. I say this in the context of South Park going after Trump viciously and people not getting upset at all. In fact, a lot of people were quite happy with the situation.

Meanwhile, Trump keeps putting pressure on our Constitutional system to see if he can break it beyond repair. It is inevitable that he defies SCOTUS at some point and or runs for a third term or whatever. His whole historical point is to, in effect destroy the United States as we’ve known it.

The questions that remain is how exactly that is going to happen and what comes after Trump. I still think there is a greater-than-zero chance that Trump finally does something so egregious that the country implodes. To the point that WMD are used domestically and the entire political map of North America is redrawn.

But we are nowhere near that happening at the moment. All I know is Trump is the tip of the spear of a MAGA counter-revolution and the country is going to be fundamentally different once he finally, at some point for some reason, leaves office.
