Parliament clearings in history hv only succeeded with military backing - frm Cromwell, to Napoleon to Lenin. Some of them profoundly strengthening the country in the long run, long after the cleaners themselves wr cleaned. Not sure why US one was attempted without preparation.

if antifa/BLM were all spontaneous and had no investment/careful prep because they were massive eruptions of grievances - then the "capitol" takeover has to be spontaneous too : there can't be partisan preference on logic. And its immaturity shows all the more it was unplanned.

The lib/dem (I dont see them as "Left" - they are just the non-"right" faction of the same wealthy, networked elite, often only playacting as socialists while sitting over or having given right to tap into massive wealth) wont get far on the economy, on "race", on pandemic.

There are inherent fatal contradictions within the current formally elected regime: their funding patron's profits depend on globalization and extracting the last markup juice from more totalitarian parts of the world that have a stronger grip on the neck of labour or resources.

This in turn means that the domestic manufacturing/production capacities in the basic sectors of the economy cannot be revived as it wd cut into profit margins of markup economy - and the globalists wd make sure that anything in this direction remains rhetorical only.

The only scheme that will appear attractive in such setups is to try and extract as much revenue as possible from the globalized biggies, and try to use that to subsidize consumption to prevent overthrow from power. But this almost always is unsustainable for any significant time

From a purely "national" view (even if it is not nice for many others) the key for US wd be to avoid fighting wars in Europe/British interests (which includes the murky double sided jihadi wars) designed to bleed US and strengthen mullahs, to revive manufacturing and basic sector

To follow up on that basic national goal, without a "civil war", two things are crucial - take care of demography and ensure neutralizing corrupting elements within the electoral machinery. One requires social planning, the other persistent political planning.

And wherever possible, without giving cracks that the law can be used to exploit, block the flow of resources into the other side. Sometimes simple noncooperation where one has the right to do so, making simple personal choices - can go a long way towards starving the enemy out.

Unlike others, I don't see US participation in global policing helps much to take the real rascals down: US participation has exactly helped what the British imperialists once hoped - the strengthening of the Sunni jihadis and their mullahs and expansion of their grip.

US withdrawal is good for those who need to tackle the jihadi menace headon. For those others are either paralyzed by leading factions who try to lull their population on how peacefully intended jihadis are in the long run or its a tiff between US imperialism and "nationalists".

The first group to be attacked in a non-Muslim society by jihadis, are the very ldrship of that society who had previously welcomed or collaborated with or whitewashed jihadis. This helps in removing the shackle that prevents proper response to jihadis.

the new Lib/dem axis will try to take US back into intervention in jihadi conflicts in ways that will once again feed Sunni jihad, will protect Chinese economic network in the interest of US globalizer's profits, which may seem painful for countries not in the Atlantic axis.

Within the US, pandemic control may not be as efficient as being propagandized, the "house" will try to reward voters and buy their silence with increased doles : but given its China syndrome, or eagerness to help out such sundry causes as "Palestine", wont do much for economy.

Progressives will increasingly flee their heavens that will increasingly have to accommodate the "lumpen" to less progressive areas but try to vote "progressive". But all this shd make it clear, for Americans at least, what they need to do - and where exactly they shd intervene.

The enemy does nothing spontaneously, it stealthily plans and expands. So any intended counter has to be similarly, planned, and "expanded". Spectacles and pageantry have a role in the playact of politics - but it must be only the tip of the iceberg or the fin of the shark.
