Period of Chaos
Politically, the left is giddy with the idea of revenge. The thought that they can take over the House and Senate has them vibrating with anticipation. They don’t have any particular benefit of the nation in mind, but the satisfying sense of victory over Donald Trump. They want to investigate, impeach, prosecute and remove him from power.
Trump’s once stalwart support of the majority of the people has been squandered on ballrooms, Greenland and the unseemly aspect of son-in-law Jared Kushner making deals in the Middle East. Trump can do whatever he wants, but every action comes with a consequence. The support Trump has lost puts him in great danger of actually being removed from office.
All along his second term, when I thought he would follow the advice of Nayib Bukele and address the crooked judiciary, he didn’t. I understand the arguments against it, i.e., that it would look like a dictator to do so, but the 77 million who voted for him would have understood. I mean, these are the same people who overlooked 37 felonies because those trials were obviously tainted by both prosecutorial and judicial misconduct. And, the cries of the left that he’s acting like a king have not abated. It’s almost as if they were already geared up to cast him as such when he did address the judiciary.
For whatever reason, Trump’s losing support by the bucketload and he can’t afford it. Now, if you’re one who believes that this is all a show and he’s just playing a part, it’s a pretty lousy part, because the only one going to jail in all of this, is him.
For me, I’m watching the nation coalesce behind the idea of separation. The left wants all of their states to be solid blue and the right wants them all to be solid red. The recent ruling by SCOTUS that simply points out the racist nature of picking congressional districts by race, has inflamed the left and spurred them to further gerrymander (if you believe them). The innocence with which they present their side of the argument is amusing, as if without this ruling gerrymandering would have never occurred to them. The logical inconsistency of supporting race-based congressional districts (a classical example of gerrymandering) and claiming to oppose gerrymandering doesn’t seem to occur to them, either.
We are in what I would call a “period of chaos” that always ends in conflict. This is when logical and rational arguments are discarded for the expediency of illogical and irrational arguments; when what they said yesterday is as distant as the sun. There’s always some who sacrifice respect and credibility to make their political points, but they are generally discounted and even ridiculed, like AOC. Now, because we’re in a period of chaos, AOC is becoming a revered statesman for her brilliance and insight. That’s what a period of chaos looks like.
The only thing truly holding this union together is the sense that a worse fate than a civil war is in the mix. The more rational are not willing to sacrifice everything to defeat the left when waiting a few months might require their attention elsewhere.
The likelihood of a world war, perhaps a nuclear world war, is on the top of the list. Why expend resources defeating a left that will largely not exist beyond a first strike? Another likely possibility is an economic meltdown that will leave billions starving and destitute. Another possibility is one of a more salient nature, one where AI (like Skynet) turns against humanity. I mean, why wouldn’t it? If we’re dealing in logic, what logic is there in keeping humanity, a scourge on the planet as most commentators and literature of the day claim that it is, around when the machines consider themselves a superior and more beneficial race?
Now, the rational mind looks out at a humanity-free planet and wonders what will the machines do with it? Replicating code simply degrades the code itself. So, looking a few decades ahead, the survivability of a race of machines is impossible. Machines are driven by human desire, what do machines desire? What would happen is, eventually, the machines would fail and clutter up the surface with frozen piles of junk. That’s evolution, I guess.
The stalemate hinges now on irrational and illogical arguments taking place online in order for the communist left to finally gain control of the United States as Khrushchev predicted. The right, being led by someone who seems to have lost his bearings and is bleeding support, doesn’t have the strength or will to fight back. The fact that the right can’t effectively engage an enemy that at once is in favor of trans children and the Islamic cause, only makes success that much more unlikely.
The resulting pickle of having to choose which calamity to prepare for, including a second-coming of Jesus, has stalled the civil war for at least a year so far.
If the focus were on the real issues of the day and the right were serious about safeguarding the republic, the war would have begun. That possibility existed in Minnesota and should, in all rational ways, have happened, because a state cannot oppose federal troops doing their legal and appointed jobs without sacrificing the very soul of a nation of laws. It then becomes a nation of men’s desires. Minnesota and other leftist states have been activated to violate federal law, federal enforcement of those laws and openly encouraging the direct, physical confrontation of those federal agents while in the process of enforcing the law.
The question is: what law can the federal government make, if it can be so openly opposed without consequence by a few ragged governors? That never would have happened under Joe Biden, because the left will attack a conservative state with military force and still claim victim status. I offer Texas and state-secured borders with Mexico as an example. Texas was simply trying to help secure the border, but a weak governor and a hostile federal force kept them from enforcing state and federal law against organized gangs of invaders.
Zooming out a little bit, I understand the whole of it. The communist left has largely won in politics and the judiciary and the people, who are not communists, are left without representation. A small, vocal minority can tyrannize the masses. That is a fact that is evident today in America.
I only pray that at some point soon, we get sick enough of it to do something about it.
