I'm not one to doom& gloom and I don't like to do it. But, I would be remiss if I didn't point out that things can get really bad on many fronts from this point forward. To be clear, I can see things turning out "okay". Humans tend to step-in to prevent the worst cases occurring.
That being said, we as a nation are at a very dangerous point on an economic, political& national security front. Regardless of how the election turns out, half the country won't accept the results thanks to the people that introduced fraud into our elections. It doesn't matter
.....if fraud was "widespread" or not. The fraud has been seen by too many. The narrative makers overestimated their ability to set the narrative and a very large % now believe fraud occurred. At the very least that will mean, no matter the actual results, people won't accept it.
On the other side, the narrative makers did set the narrative for the population they control inside the bubble. As far as those people believe, nothing happened & the election was clean. Again, it doesn't matter if "evidence" is found. The evidence that is found will be ignored
...by those in the bubble. They won't accept it. It other words, we have two large groups set on a collusion path due to the propaganda of the media. Wars have been started for far less.
On the economic front we are in a very dangerous place. Due to the dems using lockdowns as
On the economic front we are in a very dangerous place. Due to the dems using lockdowns as
...a political weapon, States and Cities are facing a major tax revenue shortage as they continue to keep their people locked down. The Congress is hopelessly gridlocked. Even if they weren't, the debt will begin to limit options. You can't support an economy as large as the USA
for a year by using debt. The FED is already at 0% and the only thing keeping the economy going in this V shape recovery is the increase in jobs and relaxation of the lockdowns. Now, the idiots want to lock things down again and abort the recovery.
On the military front, you have again two forces on a collusion course as Trump wants the troops home and the generals don't. We have already seen a replacement of the DoD leadership and if the generals don't follow orders we will see the firing of generals soon.
While I don't believe the country is hopelessly divided on basic questions, there is a large minority in this country that will not stop until the entire country is turned into a socialist hellhole. They can't be appeased and if they take power their actions while in power will
...cause strife. This is probably the most dangerous time I've ever seen my country in my lifetime. I'm sure the 1850's-1860's were worse in ways as well as the WW2 years but we are in much more danger as a country than we were in 9/11 and this time we have done it to ourselves.
Now, as I stated I hate doom and gloom and all of these issues may be worked out to a satisfactory conclusion, but I can't state the chances of that happening at this stage are more than a 50/50 chance. My biggest concern is the economy, for the simple reason that no one seems
...to be concerned about it. The Market just appeared to have a failed breakout attempt and may retreat 10-20%. The States are locking down Main Street again during the busiest shopping season of the year which will have ripple effects on jobs, profits & capital
..investments. The unresolved election will also factor in on business decisions going forward as companies decide where to invest and hire. The same is happening in Europe and other parts of the world. Making it a hit to the global economy.
The media and big tech are doing us no favors by pushing constant propaganda instead of news for power sake. Chaos is not good for business long term. People are fed up, tired and pissed off. That isn't a good combination to resolve issues or seek compromise.
..and instead of calming the people, the media and big tech are fanning the flames. Civilization is not some mythical construct that will always be around. Countries have fallen quickly in the past when conditions like these are observed. Economic hardship, unstable governments,
...a break down of law and order, financial instability in the government, a loss of faith in institutions; any and all can create a negative feedback loop that quickly brings countries to it's knees. Can it happen here? Sure. Will it? IDK, but fact that many don't even admit
...it can happen here and continue with their political gamesmanship on things like stimulus and lockdowns is worrying. I would advice people, as the old saying goes, "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst"
