Intro

It's time for a reality check ...

Maybe we’ve reached the point of diminishing astonishment.

But I suspect that much of what we’re hammered with every day really doesn’t make much of an impact on most of us anymore. We’ve heard the same stories too often. We’ve been exposed to the same issues for so long without any meaningful resolution. We recognize that reality is rapidly becoming malleable, primarily in the hands of whoever has the biggest microphone. How else can we explain a society where myth asserts itself as reality, based entirely how many hits it gets online?

We know that many of the “issues” as defined are pure crapola, hyped by politicians on both sides pandering to “the will of the people,” which is still more crapola. Inevitably, it’s not the will of all the people they reflect, but the will of relatively small groups of people with disproportionate political influence.

Nobody wants to face up to the realities of the issues. Nobody wants to say what’s right or wrong – even when it’s obvious and there are numbers to back it up. Most of us are afraid to bring up the realities for fear of being accused of being insensitive or downright mean.

So we say nothing. Until now.

It’s time for a reality check on the fundamentals – much of which is common knowledge to many of us, already. But it might be comforting to know you are not alone …

The inevitable post-election riots ...

There will be riots if Trump wins in November. The streets will be filled with angry, violent people burning buildings, destroying property, setting cars on fire, and looting. 

The common theme will be that Trump stole the election again. He’s not the legitimate winner.  He only won by cheating.  The real winner was Joe Biden.  And there will be no peace until the results are overturned and Joe and Kamala are declared the rightful winners.  They’ll probably even think about the 25th Amendment again, or calling for a military coup “to restore democracy.”

That’s predictable. We’ve seen this preview for more than three and a half years so far. You’d have to be blind to see some other outcome from a Trump win. 

But what if Trump loses? 

Well, there will still be riots. The streets will be filled with the same angry, violent people burning buildings, destroying property, setting cars on fire, and looting. The same folks we’ve seen night after night attacking police, Federal buildings, and local businesses in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis, and everywhere else where those the media like to call “peaceful protestors” have laid waste.  

If anything, the violence and destruction will be even worse.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see them try to storm the White House to drag Trump outside for “revolutionary justice” by the mob. 

Wouldn’t they be happy that Trump lost?  Why would they riot? 

They’d riot because they’d now hold all the power.  That’s what they’ll think, anyway. And now there’s nothing, and nobody, to stop them.  Not the police. Not the National Guard.  Not Federal agents. Not those weak-kneed appeasers they already humiliated in state and local governments. Certainly not their Democrat apologists in Congress – they helped get them here, but as with useful idiots in past revolutions, they aren’t needed anymore. They are disposable.    

That includes Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders. Nobody will be safe from a newly empowered mob. In short order, the mob’s purity tests will get more and more rigid. Even politicians who praised the mob and turned a blind eye to its violence and destruction will become suspect; especially if it’s discovered those politicians supported the cause just to protect themselves. 

The media who covered for them on their path to power may not be pure enough. Nor may the social media platforms owned by the tech giants.  The media and the tech giants really can’t be trusted not to backslide into old habits.  So, going forward, all media reports and social media posts will require prior approval by a revolutionary committee before publishing.

Goodbye Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press.   

Any dissent will be brutally crushed. Any splinter groups within the revolution arguing for moderation will be crushed as counterrevolutionaries.

Because the first rule of a revolution is to destroy any counterrevolutionaries.

Finally, some of the current leaders of organizations like BLM will come under the gun. Why did they accept money from corrupt capitalists?  Why did they take money from corporations who have oppressed minorities? Did they sell out for the bucks? 

And then we’ll see the second rule of revolutions come into play. 

The revolution always eats its own.  It’s inevitable. 

If Trump loses, does anyone with a smidgen of intelligence believe all the chaos will stop? That may be what the Democrats are promoting to win this election, but that’s not going to happen. Everybody knows it.  If the chaos continues, which it will, how would a newly elected President Biden and V.P. Harris, and the Democrats’ pals in the media, respond?

I suspect Biden would first appeal for an end to the violence because “it’s time we all came together as a nation.” When that fails, which it will because the rioters have shown absolutely no interest in ending the rampages, then what?  Can you see Biden calling out the National Guard? Can you see the Democrat mayors and governors finally putting their foot down?

After Democrats, the left, and progressive socialists like The Squad, have called all police racists and demanded defunding key police departments, and Biden has said he’s in favor of allowing more citizens to sue police, does anyone really believe the police are going to  rush to quell the violence? Why would they?  Would you? Would anyone?

What will the media do? Will they continue to hide the violence from their viewers and pretend it’s not real?  More likely, they and the Democrats will blame the violence on far-right extremists and white supremacists trying to discredit the movement and call for an extreme Federal and state crackdown on any group that espouses anti-socialist opinion.

Enemies of the revolution, in other words. The enemies list will continue to grow. 

Now, you may think there’s no basis from what I’ve written here.  But of course there is.  It’s called history, which sadly isn’t taught anymore.  Still skeptical? Just look at what happened in the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, or Fidel Castro’s revolution in Cuba.  Or for a more recent examples, try Daniel Ortega and the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, or Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. 

Socialist revolutions lead to dictatorships. 

So, if Trump wins can he end the chaos? If the Democrats take the Senate and keep the House, we’ll have two more years of impeach-Trump hearings; nothing will get done. The chaos will continue in Congress and also on the streets. 

And then the reign of terror will end.  Probably in as few as two years, because Democrats in Congress will finally be held accountable by the voting public.  If they push through their radical agenda and are able to overcome a Presidential veto, the public will see what the Democrats, the left and progressives have been trying to hide for decades. 

Establishment Democrats, not Republicans, are the party of Wall Street, big banks, big insurance companies, big corporations, the defense industry, and the ultra-rich. Just see who their top donors are.  Everything Democrats do – from Obamacare, to pandering to public employee and teachers’ unions, promoting Federal funding for abortions, fighting against tort reform, to their sudden support for keeping us in meaningless foreign wars – is designed to reward their donors.

They don’t give a rat’s ass about Joe and Molly Sixpack in the working-class neighborhoods, or Paul and Muffy in the suburbs, or about Tyrone and Keisha in the inner city.  No do they really care about any of their kids.  Or women in general. Or about gay people.  All they care about is remaking America, keeping everybody divided, and if necessary, expanding the voting base with immigrants, to keep a perpetual hold on power.  That’s their dream.      

But two years after this Presidential Election, the House will again be up for grabs.

It may very well be nut-cutting time for Democrats if they happen to run the table yet the chaos in Congress and in the cities continues.  Especially if Trump is not longer there to blame.
