No Refunds!

So after the farce that was this year's election, I've decided I'm not going to concern myself with political matters anymore, except to laugh at how badly things fall apart. Realistically, embracing political nihilism is probably the only thing keeping me from going completely insane at this point, so I've decided to detach myself from the situation and focus mostly on a futile escape plan.

Here's the rundown of the last month...

• Half the country believes that the election was stolen (it undeniably was) and the other half of the country believes that half of the country are white supremacists. I will probably talk about the second half of that sentence at a later date if anyone cares.
• First day of office, the senile pedophile playing as president cut the Keystone pipeline and cost people somewhere between 11,000 and 60,000 jobs (the numbers vary depending on the source.) I wasn't surprised by this as he outright said he was going to do it. What makes this especially humorous is that many of the pipeline worker unions supported him. No refunds!
• Almost immediately after, he allowed men pretending to be women to participate in women's sports, and likely to invade their restrooms as well. So women's sports are effectively ruined. I personally don't give a shit about any sports, let alone women's sports, so this is really just another thing to laugh at.
• In 2020, 40,000 people died of Covid. As of now, that number has increased to a full 100,000. Considering the senile pedophile promised he had a plan to stop the spread as he was running (though later admit once he was in office that he didn't have any plan whatsoever) he's doing a pretty shit job. I don't personally hold the president responsible for such things, but we sort of set that precedent with Trump, so no reason to not hold the current scumbag accountable.
• The Covid vaccine has a higher death rate than the actual disease itself unless you're very elderly. It also causes miscarriages and likely total infertility. Considering the same people that complain the world is overpopulated are the ones that strongly push the poison that is the Covid vaccine, it's pretty certain that this is not an accident. Also people that refuse the vaccine in Germany are put into concentration camps (cause Germany was so great the last time they did that sort of thing.) Note: I am not Anti-vaccine on principle; I am against the largely untested and extremely rushed and experimental Covid vaccine specifically.
• Speaking of Concentration Camps, the senile pedophile pretending to be president said he was completely okay with the concentration camps in China, where Christians and Muslims are tortured, sterilized, and raped. He is also completely okay with the human rights violations the Chinese have been acting toward with Hong Kong and intend to with Taiwan. Why is he okay with this? Something about racism, or more likely because he was paid off by the Chinese government.
• Speaking of that, the Chinese government is now allowed to purchase control of our utilities. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that immediately after that happened the electric grid in Texas went down during a freak snow storm. Jury's still out on this one I suppose.
• To all the losers that voted Democrat because you thought you would get your six figures of student loans (that probably went to useless degrees) forgiven. Well that's not happening. This is literally the only good thing the senile pedophile pretending to be president has done. Hahahaha, no refunds!
• Unlike the previous administration, we still haven't seen any stimulus checks. People are struggling because they lost their jobs due to Covid, and instead of signing an order allowing them to be able to go back to work or give them even a small handful of change to survive, the senile pedophile pretending to be president is literally sitting around playing video games. I'm in a lucky position where I am in no need of this check, but many people are struggling without it. (Not that the amount is enough to really be of much value anyway.)
• Due to the Keystone Pipeline getting shut down, gas prices have started to rocket upward. Current policy trends indicate that food prices are going to follow shortly. Hope you stocked up when I warned months ago that the economy was going to go down the toilet.
• For all you fools who wanted a "return to normalcy" after the last president, you must have forgotten what that entails. So here's a reminder. We are now invading Syria and re-invading Iraq. I guess that you forgot that "normalcy" involved using drones to murder innocent people on the other side of the globe. This one particularly bothers me as Syria has the highest concentration of Christians in the Middle East... I'm sure all those brown children that are getting their limbs blown off are at least happy because the guy that started droning them isn't a mean old orange racist though.

So that's the first month of the current administration so far. I guess we only have 47 more months of this nonsense to go before the next election, then maybe we can elect someone better. (Hahaha, nope. Since we gave the green light to stolen elections, we will NEVER have a decent president again. Things only get worse from here, your vote doesn't matter, and America as you know it is dead. Once again, No refunds. Hahahaha.)

But hey, at least our current president doesn't make mean tweets on the internet, right?

Shame

So over the past few weeks, there have been ample instances of voter fraud discovered, despite the media's insistence to the contrary. Attempts to recount have been met with terrorist threats, which have been sadly successful in preventing said recounts. Considering recounts are an expected part of the electoral process, particularly in close elections, it should strike me as off that Biden's supporters are cheering these tactics and applauding when the lost ballots found are still too small for Trump to flip states, instead of showing any concern at all that there are lost ballots to begin with...

If Trump had engaged in electoral fraud to this scale (or at all honestly) I would be absolutely embarrassed in having supported him (provided the allegations were true and not some Russian conspiracy nonsense.) Therefore I do find myself completely floored at the sheer shameless nature of Biden supporters. 

Anyone in opposition to the recounts to stop this flagrant attempt to subvert the American Democratic process is either completely oblivious to what is going on (a moron) or knows what is going on and is happily complicit (a psychopath). There is no other option here. 

Imagine hating the Big Spooky Orange Man so much that you'd be willing to destroy America to get to him. Though perhaps destroying America was the establishment plan all along...

Wacky Races

 So, it's not every day we get to see Dick Dasterdly cheat in real time. Apparently after an inexplicable delay, a surge of ballots was magically discovered in Michigan and Wisconsin at about 3:30am.

This surge was so convenient that Wisconsin's voter turnout was actually 101% of the total number of registered voters in the state. Naturally every one of these votes was for our favorite senile old cheat Joe Biden.

Humorous enough, even without Wisconsin, Trump still has the numerical superiority needed to win the election. The unwillingness to call the remaining states is simply a stall for more time to figure out how to rig this thing to get the evil orange man out and replace him with a more presidential candidate that will go back to bombing civilians across the globe.

It's not every day we get to see this sort of thing, and humorous enough you can easily pinpoint when the cheating took place. Check the vote count for yourself...

 

Regardless of your party, realize if you are willing to condone blatant election fraud, you are at heart a totalitarian. This is the sort of absurdity you expect in third world hell holes; the United States is supposed to be better than this. (At least theoretically, the US government has been evil and corrupt for quite some time).

Anyway, regardless of the outcome, this is only going to increase further division. If Trump rightfully takes his place as president the Democrats will scream about how he didn't respect the election process that they themselves didn't respect by rigging it. If the Democrats win, then the corruption of the election isn't going to sit well with them either.

As I suggested in the previous post: we are either going to see either mobs or militias in the very near future.

Update: Since I have written this, they have also magically "found" another cache of ballots in Georgia. Milwaukee has a voter count of over 200% of the registered voters, and at least seven of Biden's voters were born in the 1800's. And that doesn't even get into the "Sharpie" fiasco in Arizona.

Unrest

This Wednesday - no matter what the outcome - there is most likely going to be unrest. Prepare accordingly.

If Trump wins as I predict, there is going to be more rioting and looting on the city streets. If you have a business in a city with a Democrat mayor and governor, you will probably want to board up, gather your possessions, and double down hard on your insurance policies. Naturally these riots will be reported by the media as "peaceful protests."

If Biden wins, there will be serious allegations of voter fraud, which he will be unable to dispute due to the already numerous cases of voter fraud discovered among the Democrat party in the past month. Historically, if the election process cannot be trusted in a country, war is the inevitable result. There will be unrest of a very different sort, one that will probably involve a lot less looting but a lot more guns.

Either way, a lot of people are going to get very angry and civil unrest is inevitable. Be prepared.

Biden's Plan for Depression

So during the two debates Biden made several comments relating to his economic plans. If we take him solely at his word, not using any commentary from Trump, his staff, or his supporters, we can still see that his economic ideas will lead this country to plummet economically (though we can always go back to making money by plundering the Middle East I suppose)

The first and most apparent this is the plan to shut down everything for three months regarding the virus. Even the WHO has made the claim that the economic disaster of shut downs of this magnitude will actually cause more deaths in regards to starvation than the virus itself. This alone is an atrocious idea.

Stepping away from the China cough and looking at his base plan, one of his statements was to increase the tax rate to 28% for anyone making 500k or more. Considering we are already in an economic decline due to the outbreak, this sort of tax increase will - as it always does - lead to companies laying off workers to make up the tax difference. Hitting employers with harder taxes always hurts employees in the long run.

Let's compound this with his plan to raise the minimum wage to 15/hour, and we can guarantee layoffs even further. We have already seen examples of this disaster in cities like Seattle, with jobs traditionally made for minimum wage now handled by automation. Employers who cannot afford to pay the new wage will have no choice but to lay off workers, and workers making above minimum wage but below 15 find themselves once again back at the bottom tier financially - assuming they don't get an increase in wage to compensate, which is unlikely. To make matters worse, this sort of increase, after the short term destruction will result in an increase of prices (again to compensate for the new minimum wages) and cause inflation, devaluing the currency until it is roughly equivalent again. 

This will be okay though because Biden plans to create 50,000 new jobs (might have been more, I don't recall the exact number but it doesn't actually matter). The problem with creating government jobs is they do not and cannot create wealth or economic growth in a country. Government jobs are paid for with tax money, which comes out if the population as a whole, resulting in a simple distribution and zero net gain in wealth for the nation. And of course with these job increases come tax increases, which may or may not be factored into the 28% figure above.

I know a lot of these proposals (increase minimum wage, tax the rich, etc) sound great at first glance, but if you get an understanding of economics, it's rather easy to spot this horror. I understand economics is an incredibly dry topic and not exactly a thrill to study, but if you want a quick rundown that is accessable to a lay person not versed in the subject, I sincerely recommend picking up "Economics in One Lesson" by Henry Hazlitt. It's a rather short book and the information in it is incredibly worthwhile for understanding how an economy operates.

Hopefully I didn't bore you too much. Economics isn't exactly the most entertaining of topics.

Where are we and how did we get here?

 So I suspect for a lot of people the last four or five years has been met with a bit of confusion. "How did our politics get to this point?" From this confusion comes the natural fear that stems from chaos, and while fear might be genuinely warranted, things for the moment aren't quite as bad as they appear.

One of the things that might not be apparent to the lay person is that both of the major political parties have seriously fractured. For the sake of simplicity, I will outline roughly two factions (establishment vs populist) each party has broken into, and will later discuss what it means and why. One could argue there is more splintering beyond this and the growing of third parties and other fringe groups, but for the sake of brevity I will keep it narrowed to these main four.

Establishment Republicans: (examples include the Bushs, Romney, McCain, and Kasich) These guys will give all the usual right wing talking points - freedom, low taxes, guns, etc - but will always fail to deliver on their promises and are more than glad to "reach across the aisle" to compromise these values. They are eager to go to war and sacrifice our troops for corporate interests, all under the guise of "bringing democracy to the Middle East" or other such nonsense. Thankfully they are a dying breed, and while a lot of Republican politicians are still in this category, they get little support from their constituents.

Populist Republicans: (examples include Trump, Palin, Ron and Rand Paul) These people genuinely believe in the usual right wing points (pro gun, pro freedom, anti abortion, anti war) and are willing to go to stronger lengths to return to them. Populists are also opposed to corporate interests, which makes them some powerful enemies in high places. They are easy to spot because the media will disproportionately attack them (or in Ron Paul's case, go to great lengths to pretend he doesn't exist). When these people hold rallies, they easily fill stadiums of people. They are usually a guaranteed win to if they aren't held back by the establishment, which they all too often are.

Establishment Democrats: (examples include, the Clintons, Obama, and Pelosi) Just as the Republicans, these people will fall in line with corporate interests. They're all too happy to raise taxes, knowing that they will still be making bank as the public suffers in economic decline. Will often portray leftist talking points, though will only superficially act on them (Obamacare, initially touted as free healthcare for all, only benefited the insurance companies). They will preach they are anti war, but will happily engage in war just as the establishment Republicans do. In truth there is very little difference between the two establishment factions aside from the lies they speak.

Populist Democrats: (examples include Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Cuomo) These people are seeking radical reform, and outright change to pro communist policies within the United States. They are all too happy to encourage riots, while demanding the police be abolished. Their economic policies are absurd and fantastical and if enabled, would quickly impoverish everyone. They have little to no concern for any pain - including death - they cause, so long as it will lead to their utopian vision. They will often champion "equality" and other lovely sounding things all the while pushing for a decline in freedom and destruction of America. Thankfully these people are not a majority of Democrats, but they are an ever growing plurality. Because if this, it might be more accurate to refer to them as radicals rather than Populists.

So how did this happen? Well if we look back to the Bush era, we can see the last big hurrah of the Republican establishment. After years of wars and lies and the decline of freedoms with regard to the PATRIOT ACT and TSA. People were rightfully done with establishment Republicans. They have never since made a comeback and they likely never will.

In '08 Obama promised "Change, you can believe in" and initially had a lot of populist support from people on both parties. This support is why he was ultimately chosen over obvious corporate candidate Hillary. However under Obama, there was no change; the wars continued, and even escalated, going from just Iraq and Afghanistan to Libya and Yemen, as well as an attempt for Syria. When people saw that they were not getting the requisite change expected, the populists started to really take form: on the right you had the Tea Party (vilified by the media as "racist" as the media always does with Right wing Populists) and on the left you had Occupy Wall Street, and when that eventually fell apart, you had the arrival of the BLM a few years later.

Despite this, in '12 he was re-elected, largely because his opposition was the same breed if corporate warmonger that he was. After two terms of this and four years of lies and wars for corporate establishment with nothing to show for it, populists on both sides have had enough of the establishment politicians.

So if you haven't caught on, the Republican and Democrat establishment are effectively the same party. This is why they both have their campaigns funded by Goldman Sachs.

With '16 Trump stepped into the primary and garnered a lot of attention by blatantly attacking the establishment types that were now largely opposed by both parties. This momentum allowed for him to eventually win the primary despite all attempts from the establishment to stop him. With this, the establishment put it's support hard to Hillary, cheating Bernie out of the Democratic primary (it is easier for the establishment to rig Democrat primaries since they utilize the superdelegate system specifically to promote this). The dejected Bernie supporters cast their vote in many different ways; some sucked it up and voted Hillary anyway, some voted Trump out of spite, some voted 3rd party, and some stayed home altogether. A populist Trump against an establishment Hillary who lost half her party's voter base was an easy win, despite the odds given by the establishment media's polls in attempt to demoralize. Even Micheal Moore -  who I am not inclined to ever agree with - observed this (look up "Micheal Moore, why Trump Will Win." Video is about 4:30 minutes)

In this coming election, Biden has the unenviable task of trying to court the establishment and the radicals at once, which means he cannot be coherent on his policy stances (not that he is coherent anyway) It's difficult to juggle the "hard on crime" establishment approach with the "abolish the police" desires of the radicals. This along with a low energy campaign all but ensures he is likely to loose, not withstanding severe voter fraud.

Trump is losing the Republican establishment to Biden, but as I said earlier, this is a dying breed and thus his loss is minimal. This is why despite the polls once again claiming he isn't doing well, and "Republicans" like Bush and Romney putting support behind Biden, Trump is most likely going to take 2020. If you look at the rallies, Trump is still filling stadiums, while Biden is yelling in empty parking lots.

Update: I should probably note that there is a trend with older voters to favor establishment candidates, seeing it as "a return to normalcy" with younger voters favoring populist candidates of either fashion as a means to stop their endless mire of debt and the increasing loss if their friends getting killed overseas. This is obviously not exclusive, but seems a solid point of division.

Introductions and such.

 So I plan to start writing once again, with the hopes that I will stay with it this time. The purpose of my blog isn't going to be so much to expand on political ideas: there are many other bloggers out there doing that better than I could ever hope to. The purpose of this blog instead will be to offer perspective toward lay people who are fortunate enough to not ingest the nightmare of politics the way political junkies like myself would. With that in mind, I intend to write mostly with political moderates and the politically uninformed in mind. I don't always succeed at that, (my web show was originally intended for that, but devolved into esoteric topics rather quickly.) 

My plan is to write these daily (except for weekends) on my lunch break. I don't expect I will sway anyone's minds by the time of the election, but I do hope that I will act as a beacon of light and hope to my readers, even when they believe things are going badly. In my opinion, the media has poisoned the minds of a lot of people, including people I hold dear, so I want this to be sort of a means to alleviate the establishment poison. I am also going to make a regular point to take questions, so long as I believe they are being made in good faith. 

So I guess I should start with explaining who I am. My name is Joe; I have had many internet handles but I feel just going by my name is for the best here. 

Politically I could be called radical right, or probably more accurately radical anti-left; my views have changed over time, and I don't think it's fair to say I am closed minded, but they have always fell into some category of non-establishment right wing.

My religious leanings are Christian, and probably radically so. I was raised Catholic, but I'm not sure I can be called one anymore. I'm in a complicated limbo between Catholic, Orthodox, and Baptist. I have been described as "the most chill radical" in this regard, and I often call myself "A bad Catholic married to a good Baptist." I generally mix well with Catholics and conservative Protestants alike 

Culturally I consider myself fairly traditional, though I eschew the term (Recent trad movements tend to be less about the 1950s and more about the 1350s.) I have a family, and advocate very strongly for homeschooling. I support maintaining traditional gender roles, have no credit cards and find myself frequently at odds with the modern norms in these regards.

Last presidential election I voted for Donald Trump, and I plan to do so again this election. I am not a die hard Trump supporter - I have been very critical of him on a lot of points, and I most certainly don't agree with him on everything - but I believe he is genuinely the best president in my lifetime (yes, even over Reagan) and he is the only president I do not have regrets having voted for. I despise the media intensely, and have for some time. I think it's important to note that I don't hate the media because I support Trump, rather I support Trump because I hate the media.

I have a some topics planned for the next few articles, but I want to encourage questions (in good faith) to help me know what topics need prioritized. I'm looking forward to writing these and trying to help people see what's happening beyond the lies of the establishment media.
