Here's the big takeaway from the 2020 election. All the trends I've been expecting have been solidified and reinforced. A total and growing distrust in once revered institutions, especially media and pompous always wrong blue checks.
A feeling that faux "elites," oligarchs and the national security state are constantly lying and manipulating the public for ends that go against the public interest. Also more of an understanding you can't fundamentally change the system via voting for president.
Sanders, Trump supporters and non-voters will all increasingly feel this way in the coming years under a Biden/Harris administration. Both sides that lean populist, even if superficially, will now discount change via voting during these circuses.
This opens up the 2021-2025 period to outcomes that were previously incomprehensible. There's simply no trust or faith in anything, justifiably. The worst case scenario for cohesion would be Biden stepping aside and Harris being installed and this is not a zero chance event.
What we can expect is further macro decay on the geopolitical front as the empire continues to rot. Internal rot will continue domestically because the national security state oligarchy remains in charge. Hunger Games economy continues to accelerate.
What we'll end up with is large swaths of the population feeling increasingly disillusioned/helpless. This combined with a feeling that you can't change things via the methods we've been told you can opens stuff up to all sorts of possibilities, negative and positive. Combustive.
There's a good chance the various factions who've been preyed upon by the national security state oligarchy are further manipulated into fighting each other rather than uniting against the true oppressors. Punching down or sideways versus punching up. This is worst case scenario.
The best case scenario is people ditch party politics and focus on issues. Pick the issue, whether empire, Wall Street crime, big tech censorship and unite with others to form a powerful bloc. You aren't marrying people, you are prioritizing issues over superficial personalities.
Unfortunately, there's no evidence the American people are capable of this, even though it's been obvious this should be the strategy for over a decade. You can't rely on this. So you have to focus on yourself and the things you can control. Don't become a rhinoceros.
Bottom line is 2021-2025 is going to be very dicey, your world will be turned upside down even more than it has been. It will be during these years that the next several decades will be decided. So think very carefully about what you do and how you act.
Carefully guard your consciousness, you mind and your spirit. Our individual actions and mental state matter. A lot. You have the ability to make things better or worse for you and everyone around you. Choose wisely. This is a portal we're entering. Be safe and good luck.

With so many states having legalized cannabis via referendum while bureaucrats and “representatives” in D.C. have done nothing, there’s a big lesson.
Let people vote directly on more issues, and concentrate those votes locally. We’re too centralized with most decision making.
Frankly, the presidency shouldn’t matter that much and neither should Congress. States and municipalities should matter more. That’s the best way to deal with the crazy polarization out there. Ironically, we need to decentralize to remain a country.
Colorado and Washington legalized cannabis in 2012. At that point South Dakota wasn’t ready. So people watched how the experiment went, and years later other states followed. Local experimentation. This is how America is supposed to work. More of this, less D.C.
Think about what powerful interests want you to do and how they want you to live, and do the opposite whenever possible and reasonable.
The best response to a twisted system is to opt out.
For some, this will mean radical changes to their lives, for others it will mean small adjustments on the margin. But everyone can do a little something to reject this nonsense.
Ask yourself this. How am I participating in my own destruction; mentally, spiritually and economically. Then do what you can to change course.
I think the power structure in the U.S. underestimates how much the general public hates their guts.
We’re not sure what to do about it and how, but the contempt and disgust is strong and growing.
People need to stop flippantly throwing around “civil war.” That makes absolutely no sense. The actions we are seeing are more revolutionary than “civil war.”
Elites may try to push the angst into a civil war though, but that’s divide and rule stuff. Don’t be stupid.
People who point out that the U.S. government's account of 9/11 was a total fairytale continue to be dismissed as wackos, yet the U.S. government's account of 9/11 was in fact undeniably a total fairytale. news.yahoo.com/amphtml/in-cou…
20 years later and it's still so shady.
"William Barr and acting DNI Richard Grenell barring the public release of the Saudi official’s name and all related documents, concluding they are “state secrets” that, if disclosed, could cause “significant harm to the national security”
Looks whose side the U.S. government is on.
*Hint not the 9/11 victims.
"The fight for access to key documents and evidence has dragged on, with repeated battles between the lawyers for the families on one side, and lawyers for FBI, DOJ and the Saudi government on the other."
Are they trying to encourage the guillotines or are they just so corrupt they can't help themselves.
Every self-respecting person should vow to never spend a dime at Ruth's Chris ever again.
Evil fkers.
Ruth's Chris:
"The only people remaining on payroll are managers,” according to the employee. The rest of the staff at these restaurants, with the possible exception of a few chefs, were let go.
This publicly traded company took $20 million in "small biz" loans.
Our financial system is totally not 100% corrupt or anything. Anyone who thinks that is a nutter.
"But the bond purchasing programs in particular have few restrictions on executive compensation, on buybacks, on layoffs or offshoring of labor, on payments to private equity owners, etc."
