“Heard of a van that’s loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows

The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I’m getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto
I’ve lived all over this town

This ain’t no party this ain’t no disco
This ain’t no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey-dovey
I ain’t got time for that now…”

There’s a new movie entitled Civil War that’s hitting theaters in 2024, followed by a presidential election that promises to be the most contentious since 1968. With Joe Biden’s popularity plummeting, liberals have decided that “lawfare” is their best bet. Colorado and Maine just took Trump off the ballot, which almost guarantees the 2024 election to be explosive in ways never before seen. Either mass civil unrest or outright civil war.

Just imagine the reaction of millions of Americans, many whom are heavily armed, when they are not allowed to vote for their preferred candidate. I can, and it strikes me that liberals really didn’t think this through.

Going further, liberals, largely composed of the professional/managerial/class (PMC), and represented by the Democratic party would rather tear the country apart than put forth a progressive candidate and universal policies that benefit the vast majority of Americans. Instead liberals, allied with the deep state, have waged a no-holds-barred assault on the 1st Amendment and aimed the “Censorship Industrial Complex” at American citizens, all because of their strident hatred of Trump and his MAGA supporters. Russia-gate was the prime example of the lawlessness, but for liberals anything goes when it come to Trump.

Yet this behavior is hardly surprising considering American history.

One of the persistent strands in American political life is a cultish extremism that approaches fascism. Although Trump was credited with this, it was during Obama’s two terms that American foreign policy trended towards fascism. Of course, thanks to the corporate media’s depiction of Obama as the saintly first-black-president, this was almost never reported. “I believe in American exceptionalism with every fibre of my being,” said Obama, who expanded drone strikes and dirty wars as no other president had done since the Reagan Administration. According to a Council on Foreign Relations survey, in 2016 Obama dropped 26,171 bombs. That is 72 bombs every day. He bombed the poorest people and, ironically, people of color: in Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan.

And his successor, Joe Biden is made from the same cloth, presiding over an administration enabling corporate inflation and enthusiastically backing numerous proxy wars, while claiming to be an antidote to Trumpian fascism.

Some antidote.

There are myriad immensely destabilizing flash points all converging on the end of 2024 like we’ve never seen before. We already know the year is said to be the most politically charged globally, in history, as it has the most global elections total. With US veering into war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and potentially China, with the US elections certain to be highly contested and rife with civil unrest, and with the global economy going inverted, with US hyperinflation already shredding the now nonexistent “middle class”, there’s an extremely high probability that the end of 2024 will see something out of Ghostbusters.

Echoing my hypothesis, Samual Moyn claims there’s A Liberal Plot Against Democracy. “On Tuesday, the Colorado Supreme Court held that Donald Trump isn’t allowed to appear on state ballots in the 2024 election cycle because the former president engaged in “insurrection,” disqualifying him for office under the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. Intended to finally write the former president’s political obituary, the decision is just the latest example of liberals helping dig the grave of our democracy.

The ruling sets up a dangerous new version of an all-too-familiar scenario: It transforms what ought to be a national referendum on the future of the country into a national spectacle of how judges will interpret a provision from its past. Doing so might for a moment save liberals—and, if the US Supreme Court goes along, conservatives, too—from their nonnegotiable responsibility to win power by winning elections. But it would do so by putting the very democracy such forces purport to want to save at greater risk and only postpones the need to rule by legitimate means, rather than through legal hijinks.”

I’ve come to realize that in their quest to vanquish the Orange monster liberals have become monsters themselves. They claim democracy is in a peril and a 2nd Trump administration would bring a descent into outright fascism, yet Genocide-Joe is what they are offering as an alternative.

Most importantly, it’s a strange way of responding to Trump’s truth, among so many obvious untruths, that America’s ongoing crisis is a result of elite failure, when their response is to pursue an undemocratic “lawfare” method of denying him the presidency. What’s even stranger is that the feral elite ruling America operate under the frantic delusion that if only they can make Trump go away, the populist movement that adopted him for its leader will vanish. 

Like I said before, I’m not sure liberals have thought this through.

Buckle up.
