About 1 Million Smug Twitter Liberals Will Start to Flee The Country Once Trump Is Re-Elected

Should, God forbid, Trump get re-elected, a massive brain drain is going to begin. If you take into consideration wealth and the size of the country, I would suggest that about 1 million smug Twitter liberals will flee the country to who knows where within days of Trump winning the 2024 election.

That will be just the beginning. As Trump goes full tyrant, more and more people with the means to do so will leave the country. The entire global culture could be transformed as American ideals and traditions are pumped throughout the globe because of a massive diaspora.

It will truly be one of the great events of human history, up there with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Of course, the counter argument is that if Trump thrashes around and goes full ham-handed tyrannical autocrat the moment he’s sworn in then…yikes…the entire world could collapse into chaos and anarchy.

But I can’t predict the future. Who knows what is going to happen. We could just muddle through and that will be that. But I will note that MAGA keeps screaming at the top of their lungs about what, exactly, they plan to do once they’re in power again.

Psychohistory: A Study Of Macro History Would Have Predicted Trump

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I used to compare Trump to The Mule character in The Foundation books. But I don’t think that anymore. I think if you had done a back-of-the-envelope projection of America’s future in the late 1980s, you would come to the realization that someone like Trump was going to pop out of the political woodwork.

The reason is — angry white conservative Christians feel aggrieved and put upon to the point that they see someone like Trump as an avatar for all their fears about changing America. And it all really boils down to a lack of those sweet, sweet white babies that such people want so bad — even though they don’t give a shit what happens to them once they’re born.

And, what’s more, Trump isn’t a Great Man of history. He’s not Hitler. He’s just too lazy and dumb to be such a person. He doesn’t bend history to his will, he just rides it to its logical conclusion. As such, he may very well force the issue one way or another in late 2024, early 2025.

It could be that if he becomes POTUS again, he will thrash around in such a ham-handed, tyrannical way that he will force Americans to make a decision — are we prepared to live in an autocratic state or not? If Trump was out of the picture, I think the US would simply gradually become a MAGA-themed autocracy because a Republican President — ANY Republican President other than Trump — would be able to transition us into such a state without people taking off their Apple Vision Pros.

But ding-dong Trump is so dumb and lazy that he might force Traditionalists to make a decision if, say, their vocal center-Left relative is snatched off the street for refusing to shut up about what a cocksucker Tyrant Trump is.

Anyway. What do I know. I can’t predict the future. But I am worried.

Comparing To Trump to Navalny Is Fucking Insane

By Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

The late Alexei Navalny.

Alexei Navalny’s tragic death has caused the usual MAGA suspects to compare his murder to what’s going on with Trump these days. Or, even more stupidly, MAGA will do “whataboutism” of pointing out the uncertain nature of Jeffery Epstein’s death in prison.

Ugh.

And Tucker Carlson pretty much gave Putin a pass for what happened to Navalny. Double ugh. The whole thing is fucked up. But it does give us a pretty solid indication of how bad things will get if Trump is re-elected.

I continue to predict that about 1 million wealthy, smug Twitter liberals will flee the country starting in late 2024, early 2025 should Trump get re-elected. That will be just the beginning as Trump begins to put the squeeze on anyone he sees as either a potential political opponent or critic.

What’s so bonkers about all of this is, of course, the fact that if Trump is really ham-handed in the implementation of MAGA tyranny….oh boy. All bets are off as to how that particular situation is finally fixed. If Trump is a total bonkers tyrant starting in 2025….it’s at least POSSIBLE that Blues might rise up against him in some sort of General Strike that might lead to a Glorious Revolution.

But I have my doubts — and I’m not advocating anything. I hate violence of any sort.

Yet I am worried. Very worried.

The Last Stand: In The End, Our Only Hope May Be Principled Traditionalists

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I fear that should Trump get a second term that, in the end, the entire fate of the United States will hinge on the principled nature of Traditionalists. All Traditionalists want is to separate brown families at the border, make undocumented people enteral second class citizens and to return shame to person decisions like abortion or being gay.

So should Trump, in a very ham-handed way, start to do shit that is even more tyrannical than THAT, like, say snatch someone like me off the street for calling Trump a cocksucker, well, I dunno. Things MIGHT get interesting. If Trump’s weaponized ICE — or whatever agency is weaponized — starts to act really tyrannical in such a manner, there is a chance that Traditionalists might radicalize — turn into Radical Moderates — JUST LONG ENOUGH to depose Trump in some sort of Blue “Glorious Revolution.”

In other words, 2025 could see the greatest political upheaval in the United States since the Civil War if Trump in a very ham-handed way goes full tyrant in a way that Traditional conservatives just can’t condone.

I fear I’m being delusional. We’re fucked.

MAGA Is American National Socialism

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

The issue of how socialist the Nazis were is a tricky one whenever it comes up. The Nazis being socialists is something that far Right American groups throw around whenever they want to shit on the center-Left.

What people miss about the Nazis and socialism is the Nazis were NATIONAL socialists. They were far Right nationalistic group that wanted to take over the world. But they *were* socialist, just not in the way that could be used to attack center-Left people in the US.

It’s hard for an American in the 21st Century to understand the complexities of why Hitler added “National Socialist” to the National Socialist German Worker’s Party’s name. But he did. And he really fucking hated both traditional socialists and Communists.

But the issue for me is — MAGA is American National Socialism. It’s even more complex than that, though. MAGA really doesn’t have any ideology other than whatever the fuck Trump “truths” that particular day. And that’s something interesting about the future of American National Socialism — what happens when fat fuck Trump shuffles off this mortal coil?

Who will take up his bonkers mantel and will the base of the Republican Party have the same about of absolute fidelity to him or her? A lot depends on how far we’ve transitioned into a MAGA-themed autocracy when ding-dong goes up to that big fast-food joint in the sky.

I do think we need to keep any eye on MTG. That woman is far more sly that any of us might otherwise believe. And I have long thought that we might one day live under a “Velvet Glove” autocracy with our tyrant being a MAGA woman, not man.

Only time will tell, I suppose.

Biden Being So Frail Is Historical Bad Ju-Ju

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I’m very uneasy about what is going on with President Biden. He’s demonstrably old and frail — if mentally still smart as a tack. My fear is that things will get so bad with Biden that we’re going to have to invoke the 25th Amendment in some way.

I continue to believe that late 2024, early 2025 could be one of the momentous few months in American history. The fact that Biden is so frail and old just as a number of major historical trends are all coming to a head all at the same time. And remember, Trump is chomping at the bit to exploit any possible weakness that might occur in late 2024, early 2025.

Look up the election of 1872.

If we manage to escape this catastrophe, I will be very pleased. I’m just worried. Really worried. But maybe the strange thing to happen will be not that something shocking happens, but rather….we muddle through.

I dunno. It will be curious going forward.

A Disturbance In The Force

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

There are a number of destabilizing things floating around these days that make me very uneasy. The chief amongst them is the weird far Left bullshit focused on the “Free Palestine” movement. It definitely seems as though some crazy person might use the Free Palestine agenda as the underpinning of something very dramatic and unexpected.

What that might be, I don’t know.

I am very empathetic to Free Palestine, I just don’t think violence is ever the proper way to achieve an objective. And I worry that some weird thing is going to come at us from left field between now and early 2025 that we just can’t predict that will totally put a different spin on things.

To the point that it might be the “Black Swan” even that forces us to rethink everything. I have no idea what that might be, but I am worried that something might happen that is so historic that it’s up there with 9/11. It could be that whatever bad juju we should have to worry about has already been excised as part of the January 6th Insurrection.

Who knows. But I do, in general, sense Something Big is brewing out there in the historical aether.

Big Gretch For POTUS

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

In an ideal world, Biden would step down ASAP and we would have a President Harris who would be thrown into the mix of who would be the next Democratic nominee. But even if Biden just decided not to run again, I know who I would support — Gretchen Whitmer. And I think Josh Shapiro should be her veep.

Big Gretch

That would be my personal ideal ticket, if nothing else.

I would throw Jon Stewart into that mix, but I would prefer if he got some experience in government before he ran for POTUS.

But all of this is just mental masturbation. Fighting Joe Biden isn’t going anywhere and so we just have to hold our collective breath for a few months to see if he can not only beat malignant ding-dong Trump but actually function as a human being.

I just don’t want to have to get a flood of hot takes about the intricacies of the 25th Amendment if Biden’s health really deteriorates. But, hopefully, that won’t happen.

Every Revolution Eats Its Young

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

It’s surreal to me that someone as good as Jon Stewart is now the subject of political vitriol from…the Left. People have been picking apart is first show back at They Daily Show…and a lot of people are pissed.

We’ve reached the point where anyone — ANYONE — who tries to give some sort of even handed approach to the issues that divide us…is yelled at for “bothsiderism.” Now that IS a real problem in American political discourse. A lot — A LOT — of people simply do not want to address the fact that MAGA is American Nazism and should be shunned accordingly.

A lot of people actually agree — or are complicit towards — American Nazism and they just can’t brook the idea of siding with the Blues against them. But from what I saw of Stewart’s show, he did a pretty good job of saying that both Biden and Trump have problems that we have to deal with, it’s just that Trump is worse because he’s an old, malignant ding-dong.

I continue to believe that in an ideal world Jon Stewart would one day become POTUS. Too bad the only way such a thing might happen at this point is if we had a Blue Glorious Revolution because Trump went full tyrant on us.

I hate violence. I don’t want that.

America Continues To Careen Towards A Dark Future

@sheltgarner

Sometimes, you can’t make this shit up. Trump has such absolute control over Republicans that they are now also sucking his cock on foreign affairs. If Tyrant Trump becomes POTUS again….I just don’t see how NATO surivives.
