Trump-Putin-Xi-Orban-Jong-Un
All dedicated to one thing - power and its retention.
America, we have held our last national election and gave it away freely and willingly.
There will not be a 2028 presidential election. The billionaires already have their guy in the White House (and its NOT Trump).
Here is what will happen...
1) Trump will dismiss ALL criminal investigations into him and direct the DoJ to arrest and investigate all top level members of the Democratic Party, looking to shatter and fragment it into splinter groups of ineffectual morons like Jill Stein and others.
2) Putin will instruct Trump on European foreign policy. Ukraine is gone inside of 12 months.
3) Xi will instruct Trump on Pacific-Asian foreign policy. Taiwan invasion will commence inside of a year.
4) Orban (with a healthy shove from Putin) will instruct Trump on disbanding NATO and Middle East policy. Nuclear weapons will be deployed by Israel against Iran.
5) The United States - under one party rule and a partisan SCOTUS - will announce that due to the emergency situation in multiple theaters of war, elections are suspended and the office of the presidency is now supreme as a the unitary executive. Project 2025 is fully implemented and 'rights' are revealed to be just 'privileges' because they will be taken away.
6) Dissent will be outlawed, the Constitution will be rejected and America will cease to be a representative republic, instead becoming a fully owned subsidiary of billionaires and their whims.
So go on...shop at Amazon and Wal-Mart to "save more" (while finishing the job of killing all local economies), buy a "Tesla" on credit and become a slave to the bankers and the nut job owner with $1T fortune, pretend that voting for a 3rd party candidate was not determinative in getting to this disastrous precipice.
Reality is thus - America as a country is a third-rate shit hole of enormous proportions... America as an ideal in self-rule, democratic principles enshrined in a Constitutional representative republic was doomed from the start by compromises to slave owners and the Electoral College along with the structure that allowed a minority to buy the majority and control the country without the support of the people as a whole.
We lost. Its over and eventually, the bombs will fly, the destruction will be total and the damned will survive in the rubble scratching out an existence but having nothing close to the lives we enjoyed yesterday, saw voted away last night and will never again come close to in the future. The end is nigh alright and the truly tragic thing is it was GIVEN AWAY to lies, propaganda, prejudices and hatreds and most over-riding a desire of people to sacrifice their own good as long as it meant others they don't like would get hurt first and more (at least in their minds).
The doomsday clock should be right now be at 11:59:59. A madman and imbecile returns to power in under 100 days. Society as it was known ends with that on January 21st, 2025.
