Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) demanded federal officers vacate the state after agents shot and killed a second person in Minneapolis on Saturday. “Donald Trump, I call on you once again: Remove…
You put it very well. I’ve been feeling the race to the finale for a while now, and of course there’s been January, but yeah. It’s going to blow. And then it is going to be very different.
Beyond what you’ve pointed out, the only new thing I’ve noticed are obviously foreign accounts wanting to talk about a renewed version of the events of 1860-65 (I’m specifically not using the term) while claiming the Constitution allows for this sort of “succession” and “national divorse” [sic] but when challenged they drop right off and refuse to engage on anything but that specific talking point. (Along with weird account stuff, like the language patterns of more than one person posting on it, typical paid behavior.) Going by the way they don’t care what is said as long as anything is said about those events, I’m guessing they just want to normalize the discussion of it. I refuse and start talking about how magnificent Minnesota is, and wonder out loud why we would want to get rid of a great state when the problem is one pedo in the white house. And then I ask about Putin, lol. The last one I asked about the $500 million from stolen Venezuelan oil that rump parked in Qatar and told him I wanted to know his views on that; strangely, I have not heard back.
Yeah, I’ve noticed about the establishment Democrat thing as well. The problem is that they lost my respect when they ended the shutdown, so I haven’t really been paying any attention to comments pumping them, though I probably should be: if they are using the same social media manipulation apparatus as others now it’s worth noting. Whether it’s socially “acceptable” or technically legal or not, it’s a corrupt thing to do, a marker of having left the conversation in favor of trying to shape it. Just in terms of actual candidates my eyes are on the progressives now.
Also in recent discussion, FauxLiving pointed out something similar that could be added to your running list of “Things About to Blow Up” and that is a brewing war over on r/Conservative between the 2Aers and the rest, because they don’t like what they’re hearing out of the administration about how “Alex Pretti lost his gun rights by carrying to a protest.” Even the NRA is shaking in its boots over that one, lol. That too is, as Faux pointed out, playing with fire.
But yes. We are heading toward an inescapable finale of some kind. And while I agree with everything you said, I almost suspect the final crisis will not come from here, as strange as that may seem. I think it will come from the other side of the world, if/when Putin finds his days limited and realizes he will have failed utterly at building his great Russkiy Mir. I think if that happens, the day he understands that he will have utterly failed in the one thing that motivates him, the West will feel a Leviathan’s tail we never saw coming. If we’re lucky, someone sane will just put a bullet in his head first. Or not. But as crazy as the West has become, don’t forget the East just yet.
Your comment is great, a pleasure to read. Thank you for taking the time to write it.
