Getting a little nervous right about now? It’s becoming easier, by the day, to see Donald Trump heading back, triumphantly, to the White House. And his followers, emboldened, going absolutely mental. Uh oh.
I have some mildly good news, some pretty bad news, and some fairly terrible news. Here’s the bad news.
If the election were held today — the 2024 Presidential election — Joe Biden would probably lose. To…Donald Trump.
Here’s the mildly good news. The election isn’t today. That’s cold comfort though — a relief, but only of the fleeting, anxiety-inducing kind. What it isn’t is resolution.
Let me then come to the fairly terrible news. America’s chances of really staving off fascist collapse were always low — and what’s happening right now is that you’re seeing, the hard way, exactly why and how. Translation: At this rate, yes, Trump is going to win again.
Let’s talk about it, and forgive me, because this going to be a tough read.
((Read it))
The sense of frustration emanating from the groups the Dems need most, in turn, is beginning to result in the worst case scenario. The Democrats fragile coalition is splintering. It was always going to be tough to hold together — but that was America’s only hope.
And yet, properly understood, it was a slender hope. Most failing societies cannot get it together enough to pass or even attempt true social reconstruction. Most failing societies end up right where America is: attempting a tiny sliver of what’s needed — 2% — and failing even at that. That is what makes them, literally, failing societies.
That is why: sociohistorical forces are almost impossible to fight. They’re like spending a lifetime sitting on the couch and smoking and eating junk-food — and then trying to run a marathon. Sure, there might be one person who can cross the finish line — but the other 999 are going to drop dead of a heart attack.
That’s why, though it’s a thankless and impolite task, I have to warn you. America’s chances of really staving off fascist collapse were always low — and you are watching them dwindle to nothing by the day now. 2%? Not enough. Can’t even get that much done? LOL — good luck, enjoy it when the Nazis knock at your door in about three years or so and ask for your proof of blood purity.
This is how Trump wins again. Not just because the Dems are blowing it — but because they don’t even know what they really should be fighting. They need to be fighting history, for it, against it — and so far, they don’t even understand how to fight for today. What chance does that really give America?
