Shrugged Redux"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Back before the 2016 election Michael Anton made the analogy that we had to rush the cockpit to save the United States from being hijacked by its domestic enemies.\u00a0 It was a good analogy at the time.\u00a0 But time has revealed that when the plane landed the airport police, the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers and even the stewardesses and the guy in the Cinnabon kiosk are all working for the terrorists and they promptly haul you off to prison for interfering with the scheduled impact of your plane with a skyscraper or government office.<\/p>\n<p>However, you want to characterize the 2020 election, about half the country voted for Joe Biden.\u00a0 And for the last three years they\u2019ve seen what Joe Biden is going to do to this country.\u00a0 He\u2019s run the country into the ground.\u00a0 The opinion polls say Biden is something close to neck and neck with Donald Trump for the 2024 election.\u00a0 In a rational world that should not be.\u00a0 Biden should be polling at 20%.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it.\u00a0 The American people are either too stupid or too crooked to want to stop what is currently going on.\u00a0 You can\u2019t persuade them that they don\u2019t want what they obviously want.\u00a0 Women want the feminist future that they have been promised.\u00a0 The non-white population wants their grievances against the white population to be endlessly acknowledged and restitution endlessly paid.\u00a0 The sexual deviants want their constantly changing claims about themselves continuously celebrated.\u00a0 The millennials and zoomers want Gaia to be appeased by returning the human race to subsistence level technology.\u00a0 And they also want to have the government pay for their college loans and allow them to live a childless existence on a government subsidy that allows them to eat crickets, watch porn and eventually die meaningless deaths. \u00a0Adding all these groups together, apparently, they have the numbers now to get their way.<\/p>\n<p>Well, then that\u2019s that.\u00a0 Democracy says they should get what they vote for.\u00a0 The Democrats promised them all those things.\u00a0 So, let the Democrats do what they said they\u2019d do.\u00a0 Joe Biden is emptying the Treasury, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and eventually all of our retirement accounts.\u00a0 He is bringing in the third world, en masse, through the Mexican border and allowing the FBI and the Justice Department to enforce a reparations policy by allowing urban street crime to go unchecked against the middle class of the cities.\u00a0 Everything looks like it\u2019s going according to plan.<\/p>\n<p>There is resistance in some conservative areas of the country like the South and Central regions but for the majority of the population it\u2019s full speed ahead.\u00a0 The east and west coasts are getting rid of gasoline automobiles and oil and gas heating systems and replacing the office workers and small business people in their downtowns with migrants, homeless addicts and gangsters.\u00a0 They\u2019re indoctrinating their kids to want to be transgendered and then they\u2019re facilitating the sexual mutilation of these children as a way to eliminate as many people as they can.<\/p>\n<p>And if that is what people want, they should have it.\u00a0 All the areas of the country that want these things should get them.\u00a0 And they should get as much of it as possible, as soon as possible.\u00a0 The areas that vote against these things will have to figure out ways to insulate themselves from these policies.\u00a0 They will have to make state laws that shield things like the use of fossil fuels from any federal mandates against its use.\u00a0 The states will have to protect children from federally mandated educational requirements that try to introduce sexual deviancy into the schools.\u00a0 The states will have to have their own requirements to deal with the onslaught of illegal immigrants.\u00a0 And they will have to protect themselves from the Justice Department and its vicious anti-white and anti-religious policies.<\/p>\n<p>All these things will have to be done.\u00a0 But the states that have already succumbed to the coalition of the damned (listed above) must be allowed to enjoy all the benefits they have voted for.\u00a0 And they are impressive.\u00a0 Their cities will become homeless encampments reminiscent of the poorer parts of Mexico City.\u00a0 Their electrical grids will become more theoretical than actual.\u00a0 Continuous electrical service will no longer exist but instead will become a sort of patchwork of planned outages and accidents.\u00a0 Their court system will no longer adjudicate those caught in the commission of crimes by the police.\u00a0 Instead, it will be used solely against political enemies of the regime, basically, straight white men who still think they have rights under the formerly enforced Constitution of the United States of America.<\/p>\n<p>All these things must be allowed and even encouraged in the areas where they\u2019ve been voted for.\u00a0 And after this has been allowed to go on long enough; years, decades; who knows; then maybe, just maybe, there might be a change of heart.\u00a0 Enough of these Democrats might say, \u201cHey, why are things so lousy here and so nice over there in Florida?\u201d\u00a0 Why does cousin Dave in Texas have neighbors who live in houses with lawns while my neighbors live in cardboard boxes on my lawn surrounded by their own droppings?\u00a0 How come he\u2019s got a Walmart and a Home Depot down the road and all I\u2019ve got is the welfare office and the local crack house?\u00a0 How come he\u2019s got four kids and six grandkids and all I\u2019ve got is a son who used to be a daughter and a daughter who used to be a son?<\/p>\n<p>Well, anyway, that\u2019s what I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back before the 2016 election Michael Anton made the analogy that we had to rush the cockpit to save the United States from being
