Milley's treason is a landmark in the evolution of the Great Reset, which began with the formation of the Deep State: the notion that a sizable amount of government power must be protected from voters. As I like to say: Democracy rebooted with an authoritarian core.
The totalitarian Left passionately believes there should be an elite core of government bureaucrats, with correct ideology and Party credentials, who are not subject to the whims of voters. There are issues of such importance that idiot voters cannot be allowed to interfere.
Of course, that list of issues that should not be subject to the will of the American electorate grows longer all the time. The Great Reset is a whole new political operating system, not one of the authoritarian patches the Left has been uploading every few years.
The Permanent Bureaucracy formed first, a vast horde of unelected unionized "public servants" who are almost impossible to fire. Congress offloaded more and more of its power to agencies and regulations, placing that power beyond the reach of voters.
The Deep State formed within the Permanent Bureaucracy - a network of like-minded left-leaning senior officials who collude to nullify the results of elections they disagree with. We learned from their emails and texts that they see themselves as superior to elected officials.
During the Democrats' impeachment farce, their Deep State witnesses kept saying it was criminal for President Trump to interfere with "their" policies or disregard their "advice." This was a naked assertion of power superior to voters. No measly elected President could defy them.
How is what Milley did any different? He colluded with aggressive, deadly enemies of the United States to undermine an elected president who disagreed with the Deep State's politics and diplomacy. Same mindset as the Democrats' absurd Impeachment Theater "sacred whistleblower."
Do you recall Milley running for any office during the 2016 or 2020 elections? Do you recall him explaining HIS foreign policy to voters and humbly asking for their support? Where could we have gone to vote against Milley's foreign policy and diplomatic agenda?
From Permanent Bureaucracy to Deep State and now to the Great Reset, when some of these hidden systems and unwritten rules will finally be made explicit, the trend has been to diminish elected officials and shift more government power beyond the reach of American voters.
The centralization of power in Washington, the erosion of states and the nationalization of everything, made this inevitable. 50 Permanent Bureaucracies and 50 Deep States could never have disempowered the American voter so thoroughly. Maybe it began with the 17th Amendment.
Washington has become not a shining city on a hill, but a Mount Olympus whose slopes the ordinary American voter cannot climb. You simply are not allowed to vote against, or even resist, much of what the authoritarian core decides. It is not interested in your opinion or consent.
With the Great Reset, we'll be told a hard core of political and economic power has been firewalled against interference by voters. You're just not qualified to influence the weighty decisions those elite experts will make. You'll be "free" to roam within the fences they build.
You'll be told this is for your own good, that your smaller "democracy" is now safer because your betters have the unlimited power they need to protect and guide you. They'll still let your elected representatives vote on certain things or exercise limited executive power.
Likewise, you can have some economic freedom, but key sectors of the economy will be under authoritarian control for your own good. You don't get to mess with the fused political/economic core operating system. You're free to spend the 30 cents on each dollar you get to keep.
If you vote the "wrong" way or elect the "wrong" people, the Deep State will nullify and override the election to protect you from yourself. Of COURSE people who think like this interface easily with Chinese Communist officers. Different hardware, same programming code. /end

Vaccination rates were damaged in the long run by misleading people into thinking the vaccines prevent coronavirus transmission, rather than reducing the severity of infection. (Yes, that impression was definitely given, no matter how much revisionists claim nobody ever said it.)
Overselling the vaccines goosed inoculations early on, making for some nice headlines, but in the long run it hindered the effort, because it gave the public more reason to distrust the authorities and question the value of vaccination.
It was profoundly demoralizing to be told, "Never mind, we're still in permanent panic mode, we'll still have restrictions, you still have to wear masks, this will probably never be over." Earlier this year, everyone up to Biden was pushing vaccines as the ticket to normal life.

If you're applauding someone losing their job because they privately expressed a political idea you disagree with, you are either implicitly conceding that YOU could be punished the same way by those who disagree with you... or you are a totalitarian and flirting with fascism.
Imagine what would happen if a company fired someone because they privately expressed support for the transsexual agenda, and some of the company's business partners complained. The howls of Hitlerism would be deafening, the repercussions severe. Government would step in.
The correct term for a system in which only political views in line with the ruling party's ideology can be expressed without fear of punishment is totalitarianism. If corporate muscle is employed by the ruling party to punish dissidents outside the law, it is fascism.

Abortion was the first sacrament of the modern Church of the State, which later incorporated global warming, critical race theory, trans extremism, and most recently coronavirus hysteria. Abortion is the rock upon which it was all built. The faithful go berserk at threats to it.
Roe v Wad was crucial to the rise of government-as-a-religion for several reasons. It was an act of raw judicial power, of transcendence over democracy and the Constitution by the elite priesthood. It's hilarious to hear anyone who defends Roe blather about "defending democracy."
With Roe, the elite priesthood declared that something it wanted was Good, and therefore must be made Lawful. It worked backward with comical clumsiness to cobble together a legal rationalization for imposing its will, using religious terminology like "penumbras and emanations."

"America First" policy was ignorantly caricatured as isolationism, but in the end, nothing leaves the American people as isolated as globalism.
China, Russia, and the other bad actors swooping in to capitalize on Biden's hideous debacle in Afghanistan have a valid point buried in their opportunistic rhetoric: governments that claim not to act in their own national interests are irrational, and therefore undependable.
There is a remorseless logic to the arguments employed by the Chinese Communist Party to build their new worldwide Axis of Evil. They're unabashedly nationalist, China First all the way, but they present themselves as tough but honest and reliable business partners.

The evolving U.S. version of China's social credit system is designed to make it easier for the ruling Party's corporate muscle to target and punish dissidents, bypassing the Constitution to suppress speech and political freedom.
The twisted genius of the new fascism involves suppressing speech and political freedom by imposing extraordinary costs upon them, without the government attempting to ban them outright. You're technically "free" to exercise "rights" you can't actually afford to invoke.
This would never have been tolerated back when the Left played the role of counterculture. Imagine if the cultural revolutionaries of the 60s-80s had been hit with steep costs for expressing their views, and told to suck it up because they were still *technically* free to speak.

The best chance we have to avoid a total bloodbath or hostage crisis is to credibly project American power to cover a better-organized evacuation, with no interference tolerated. Credibility can only be restored by replacing the architects of this disaster, including Joe Biden.
You can't convince the enemy you're truly serious now, and will no longer be a pushover or addlebrained disaster, unless you replace the leadership. New leaders can more credibly implement a major course correction, minimizing bloodshed by having their words taken seriously.
Biden has alienated America's allies in this desperate moment. Removing him from office would be an act of diplomatic hygiene, a reassurance they won't be betrayed again, and there were consequences for betraying them last time. The phone will now be picked up when they call.
