Biden's latest address Is unprecedented in a lot of ways, and I've seen a lot of interpretations... but I haven't seen anyone really grasp the implications or the real Horror of what it probably represents.
2/
Firs things first: this Aesthetic does not happen by accident
Prepared announcements like this that are meant to define election cycle are prepared weeks in advance, speeches pre-written, optics (Colors) chosen, the mere choice to have Marines involved the input of dozens
3/
We've seen the memes... How Biden looked like every knockoff villain in pop culture history.
4/ And sure there are theories...
Maybe he just had a VEEP moment and his staff Thought #DarkBrandon was a vote getter
Or maybe they're trying to bate a schizophrenic into launching an attack and rescuing their midterm prospects.
5/
But few are talking about the news items that immediately preceded this announcement.
The stuff we know Biden and the Regime have been openly working on.
The truth is we've seen speeches like this before... many times.
6/
In 2002 Bush was giving fire and brimstone speech very similar to Biden's... But about Saddam and Iraq instead of Trump and 70-80 million Americans
These speeches were important in the leadup to war ...to prepare the American public, but more importantly the American state
7/ Biden's language is the Speech is very specific. Saying that Trump and "MAGA Republicans" present a "Clear and Present danger".
Attacking the Trump faction of the Republican party as "insurrectionists", and alluding to potential political violence.
8/
This just a month after the FBI raided Trump's house violating norms around legal reprisals that have last generations. Even Nixon was not raided or charged.
And this from an FBI and department of justice that has been caught fabricating testimony against team trump
9/
I think this was Biden giving the go ahead to the FBI and every other federal agency to give into their partisan hatreds and try to charge Trump... with anything.
10/
Back in 2020-21 The democratic party and NeverTrump Republicans were obsessed with trying to impeach Trump, even holding votes into his last month in office...
Specifically so that he would not be able to run again.
11/
Mitch and Co did not allow this to work... Largely to bargain with Trump and prevent him from writing last minute pardons to Snowden and Assange... and
from Declassifying anything embarrassing.
12/
Now far from fading into shame, Trump looks like the Frontrunner in 2024, has dominated with his midterm picks, and is openly talking about who he wants to fire when back in office.
He is a major threat to not just Biden, but the regime of agencies and Interests
13/
Either Biden is encouraging the Letter Agencies to Charge Trump and remove him from the running, Or he's hoping that after the midterms the lame duck NeverTrumpers, many already primary'ed out... Will vote to retroactively impeach or otherwise bar Trump's run
14/
Now this is obviously incredibly dangerous, wide swaths of the republican base felt cheated by the 2020 election...
Rightly so now that we've learned the FBI coordinated with tech companies to suppress the Biden laptop story
15/ And those supporters have only been assuaged with thoughts of 2024 and returning Trump to the office they feel he was denied.
Disqualifying Trump would convince millions of Americans there is no political solution... They'd protest, riot... worse.
16/
Taking away political options has historically been a surefire way to escalate tensions to violence.
The Front de Liberation Du Quebec ended because Nationalism became politically viable.
The IRA fought so long because demographics ensured they could not win by voting
17/
But that was the thrust of the speech.
That Biden and Co are happy to go to war with outraged Trump supporters, that they'd welcome deploying the national guard after a Trump disqualification, that they'd gladly use legal tricks to go after MAGA senators and congressmen
18/
After Jan 6th there were many calls for a Domestic "War on Terror" the application of the Patriot Act to Trump supporters and "Extremists"...
We might look back on the DarkBrandon speech the same way we look back on the Axis of Evil speech
If you like this thread please retweet, its the only way I get seen by new people
And also I write long form stuff.
This is my most popular piece.
Its a deep dive into how prison gangs run the criminal underworld, and the implications for how political systems decay
just watched Union of Salvation (whole film is on youtube)
Bros... Russia is going to win, not just Ukraine, but the whole civilizational struggle. It won't even be close.
"Understand the art and you understand the people"
They are better than us.
This is as if you had just watched Lawrence of Arabia or Apocalypse Now, and then thought you were going to contain the US...
No, you're not.
The theming is so incredible and subtle... like there are references and allusions and character arcs that half the beauty of it doesn't make sense unless you know very specific cultural facts about the napoleonic era
In modern russia Kubrick gets to make his Napoleon film
WASPs don't exist. Their culture was defeated and conquered by entryist ellis islanders and their neuroses.
You ever meet a WASP family they all identify with and form myths around the 1 ellis Island irish or jewish branch of the family that married in and resented the rest.
Basically the only people who are capable of WASP culture are the Scots-German flyover red Americans who'd always opposed and been opposed by the wasps, but are still capable of reading and admiring history and forming aristocratic sub-cultures.
The crude rich Texan listening to country music is the last actual American aristocrat. The New England wasps have all disappeared into the poor put upon minorities they didn't have the wherewithal to be prejudiced against. All the genetic Anglo-Americans are now convinced that they're actually Irish-Jewish blends.
Seriously... Name a single wasp family?
The last public one was William F. Buckley Jr. And he wasn't a real wasp, his accent and persona was an affectation
Christopher Plumber was the last real one, and his biography is about the WASP world dying in THE 30s.
Great book BTW
The only WASP family that still exists is the Bush Family. Connecticut Yankees all of them, and they saw the writing on the wall and adopted Texan and southern culture
People don't realize in a civil war the military would prob collapse.
US troops, uniquely, are cycled such that there's no regional or ideological cohesion. Infantrymen won't follow the 3rd or 4th LT who's cycled in within 5 years to fight their own people.
50%+ desertion.
2/ This was a policy the US adopted starting in ww1 so that none of units would become regional militias post-war.
They didn't want troops more loyal to their officers in the 3rd Alabama Rifles than the federal government. So they formed "All American" Divisions.
3/
Troops from New York, California and Alaska would serve in the same platoons and their officers cycled from a common pool.
This meant the first civil war could never repeat where entire states took their troops away and had coherent units.
