The idea that Trump has finally been vanquished politically, culturally, and on every other level & we can finally move on back into a glorious Obama-era managerial-class normal is just as insane now as it has been the last four years.
The "civic unrest" is just beginning.
The overly-swift jump into BIDEN WON (ANYTHING ELSE IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY) NOW WE WILL BUILD BACK BETTER & MAKE RESETS GREAT AGAIN FAST is a see-through psychological tell. Yrs of denialism & now a kind of rabid clinging to Biden win as faux-evidence their denial was correct.
BIDEN WON - NOW LET'S DO OBAMA THINGS AGAIN FAST FAST FAST QUICKLY NOW. Please. This denialism, as I've said for years, will only make the road even rockier than it has to be in the coming months and years.
Those of us who trying to see the landscape clearly need to stick together. Because the psychic breaks among American elites (in the broad, top 20% sense) that are going to continue to occur as the old institutions and ways melt down is only going to get worse.
The idea that this election is going to calm rather than heighten the deepening divide is so foolish I don't know where to start. The base is based. They know what time it is. We are living in an illusory slipstream between now and inauguration day. Don't let it fool you.
But by the time inauguration day rolls around, I don't think most people will be fooled. You can't paper over what is happening in America. That's why Trump won, of course, in the first place. But establishments on all sides still can't speak or see reality of landscape clearly.
And by these fruits shall you know them: the sooner we raise up a caste of leaders who can talk about the reality of the landscape without fear - whatever their disagreements re what to do about it - the sooner we can actually start to do something about it.
This will often end up being younger people and those without the usual credentials. At the helm of alternative structures built to protect from and take the place of the crumbling institutions we have now, as well as heading up takeovers and reform of some of the old ones.

In 2005, "@R_H_Ebright blasted Fauci & the CDC for having 'constructed...a virus that represents perhaps the most effective bioweapons agent now known.'" —@LeonHWolf at @theblaze
@R_H_Ebright @LeonHWolf But what people have forgotten is this:
"Prior to 2020, Fauci was the subject of frequent and strident criticism from many of the liberal institutions that have since ruled any criticism of his actions out of bounds."
Speak of wishful ironies, what *if* the unprecedented mobilization of the entire federal government apparatus, in conjunction with billions from supportive NGOs, to "get [their] vote out", backfires when many of these voters vote for Trump?
First, what makes this an unprecedented election year is not merely the insane rhetoric and lawfare against Trump, but the complete weaponization of the entire federal government (HUD, USDA, the FAFSA, etc.) working with Dem foundations and non-profits to "get [their] vote out".
This change, combined with everything else we've seen in the past few years (from widespread changes in voting laws "because COVID" to the complete, cancel-culture enforced politicization of every major institution) would seem enough to solidify a one-party national state.
🧵Everyone needs to clearly understand this: "3 yrs ago, Joe Biden issued an executive order titled, 'Promoting Access to Voting.' Its stated goal was to 'promote & defend the right to vote,' and Biden directed every agency in government to participate." theblaze.com/columns/opinio…
"Federal agencies were somehow supposed to look into voter registration, expand vote-by-mail, and use approved third-party organizations to help them get it all done. We all saw what approved third-party organizations meant in 2020. It meant partisan politics with strings attached. In short, Biden refused to let us know just what this executive order was meant to do."
"...it’s essentially “Zuck Bucks” on government-funded steroids, and new information appears to prove this... This email was revealed by the @OversightPR:
Y'all had asked for some data on voter registration through NVRA [National Voter Registration Act] at the state level, which I’ve pasted below. So the Department of Agriculture — of all agencies — had enlisted the support of this approved third-party to get their info at state level on voter registration data."
🧵If what Fournier says is true it is the first I, the Editor in Chief at @TheBlaze, has heard about it. However, earlier today, we received the following statement from Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), Chairman of the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight (@standwithbarry/@RepLoudermilk):
“An allegation of a Capitol Police officer lying under oath is very serious and must be fully investigated. For this reason, I am releasing these still frames from USCP CCTV video footage, with timestamps, showing the movements of Officer Lazarus on January 6, 2021.”
