Half the news today is about the January 6th<\/sup> Committee recommending criminal charges against Donald Trump to the Justice Department.\u00a0 Now, there is nothing surprising about that recommendation.\u00a0 Nor is there any doubt that if the Justice Department decides to prosecute him that they can find a crooked DC court to convict him.\u00a0 They\u2019ve proven they\u2019ve got access to any number of kangaroo courts and they can pack a jury with partisan hacks.\u00a0 But what they can\u2019t do any more is convince the majority of Americans that there is anything legitimate or honest in their activities.<\/p>\n

Thirty percent of the country consider the federal government to be a pirate operation. Probably more than 50% feel that voting laws have been tampered with to the point that fair elections are no longer possible.\u00a0 And a safe majority of Americans are aware that the press and many institutions are obviously controlled by the Democrats.<\/p>\n

So, whatever the Justice Department does, no one will mistake it for justice.\u00a0 It\u2019s just the application of power against their enemies.\u00a0 And that\u2019s where we\u2019ll be.\u00a0 From now on we\u2019re sort of where the Soviet Union was in the 1980s.\u00a0 Everyone knows how things get done and no one believes the \u201cofficial\u201d explanation for anything.\u00a0 It\u2019s just the way the system works.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s the way it will be.\u00a0 The Left controls this country lock, stock and barrel.\u00a0 They\u2019ll do whatever they want to do.\u00a0 But at the same time, they\u2019re ruling over something between 30 and 50% of the population that considers itself under forced occupation by a banana republic junta.\u00a0 Based on the activities that we\u2019ve seen from the Obama and Biden gangs we can expect that gross incompetence and corruption will be the hallmarks of this regime.\u00a0 And the faltering economy portends great suffering for the former working and middle classes.<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s an open question where this goes.\u00a0 Can the Democrats screw things up badly enough that despite election fraud they could still be voted out of office by their own voters?\u00a0 I sort of doubt it.\u00a0 I think the outcome of these elections is no longer in the hands of voters at all.\u00a0 If that is the case then it will take the disruption of normal life to finally wrench control of the country away from the Left.<\/p>\n

It will take something on the order of what Germany went through in the 1920s and 1930s to convince Americans to finally reject their current masters.\u00a0 That\u2019s a harrowing idea.\u00a0 We\u2019ll need to be ruined and destitute to finally cast off the crooks currently running this country.<\/p>\n

It took about seventy years for the Soviet Union to fall.\u00a0 But the United States has a much more robust economy and a long history of governmental stability.\u00a0 Nevertheless, Americans are not used to true poverty.\u00a0 Even during the Great Depression most people worked and could feed themselves. But the way the current gang are deindustrializing the country any level of economic destruction seems possible.\u00a0 I won\u2019t pretend to know how things will turn out for us.\u00a0 It\u2019s an open question.<\/p>\n

But I will say that they\u2019ve achieved permanent alienation of a very large minority of the country and that will seriously change the complexion of life in this country.\u00a0 Joe Biden can wave the flag all he wants.\u00a0 No one is following him to the Ukraine or anywhere else.\u00a0 Let him organize the Tranny Brigade to head over that hill for him and best of luck with that.<\/p>\n

Half the country (and probably a lot more) are now completely pragmatic about how they interact with their government.\u00a0 No one is volunteering for anything anymore.\u00a0 Self-interest of themselves and their families is the name of the game.\u00a0 There\u2019s us and there\u2019s them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
