Tag: 2020 Election

Guest Post by The Zman

An old criticism of liberal democracy was that the system would inevitably become less stable, as each election would result in a wild swing in direction. The people would support position X in one election and then support position Y in the next election, with X and Y being opposite positions on some issue. We are getting a sense of that now with Biden’s handlers promising a reversal of Trump’s policies, which were allegedly a sharp break from the policies of predecessors.

One reason for this is that liberal democracies are bourgeois societies, in which the old instinct to dress up interests in objectivity and civic virtue remain strong. It is considered immoral for a group to press their interests in a purely partisan way, so everyone insists that science and the public good are the motivations. The deliberate destruction by the elites of the civic life of societies is not just a naked attempt to remake the world in their image, but an effort to build back better.

Elections are one of those windows into the nature of a society, like the roads or public transport systems. It is a manifestation of the real nature of society. In the case of elections, it is not about the results, but about how the election is run. Orderly, well run societies have orderly, well run elections. The results are known soon after the votes are cast and no one questions them. In disorderly, low-trust societies, the vote is messy and chaotic and no one takes the results at face value.

Well that wasn’t exactly the landslide we were promised.

Obviously there are a lot of unknowns right now. But regardless of who ends up being declared (or ruled) the winner, there are a few things you can count on:

The nation will remain divided. About 50% of the voting population will be even angrier than before. Conflict will likely escalate, along with peaceful protests.

Governments at various levels, including state and local, will continue to take on dangerous quantities of debt and make financial decisions that are incredibly costly over the long-term.

Today’s the day.

We arrived at the firehouse to vote at 6:45. The socially distanced line was thirty to forty people deep. It is a beautiful crisp, sunny, 40 degree morning. And the chemtrail patrol was hard at work criss-crossing the sky spreading whatever it is they spread.

Guest Post by Paul Rosenberg

Much of the world is holding its breath, waiting for the outcome of tomorrow’s US election. And even though I see politics as the sad relic of the Bronze Age, this election may have some serious consequences, and so I think it’s worth a few brief comments.

My first concern is simply that all my readers stay safe. In all likelihood there will be violence following this one. If Mr. Trump wins, the street troops of the left will do what they’ve been doing this year, and perhaps more so. They are, after all, facing a dead end. If their perennial strongholds (NY, NJ, IL, CA and others) aren’t massively bailed out, and fast, their political machines will collapse.

The latest COVID-19 spectacle features a new rise in cases that has generated yet another wave of economic uncertainty in the markets.

According to a CNBC piece, stocks have dropped this week due to concerns over a rise in coronavirus cases and how it may affect the economy.

The recent trend of falling stocks actually started a couple weeks ago on October 12, which you can see on the chart below:

The November presidential election is not about a choice between a Republican and a Democrat, Trump or Biden/Kamala.  It is about a choice between Trump and the Establishment.

You are voting for or against the Establishment.

If you vote against Trump, you are voting for your continued dispossession of your personal freedom, your independence, your income and wealth if any, your integrity, the First and Second Amendments, and any hope for your future and the future of your country.  It is as simple as that.

Approximately half of the American population are too indoctrinated and brainwashed to understand what is at stake.  These Americans see a vote against Trump as a vote against racism, misogyny, Covid, wealth, and orange hair. The mindlessness of these Americans, should their votes prevail, would complete the transformation of American democracy into rule by unaccountable elites.

America is at a crossroads with revolution on our doorstep. On one side are the Patriots; those who seek to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. On the other side are Marxist insurrectionists; those who believe that America is evil and the cause of so many problems in world.

The Marxist-friendly side is pulling for Joe Biden to be ushered into the White House. They don’t call themselves Marxists, but as the saying goes, if it talks like a duck and walks like a duck, it’s a duck.

I’ve been writing since January that the Globalists don’t care if there’s bloodshed in America, and in March I wrote that the Left is waging a scorched-earth war against Trump.

At the risk of sounding like I’m saying, “I told you so,” I told you so.

I am rushing to finish this report with the centerpiece being the 2020 election in the USA, but with the implications that are impacting the world. There is a major battle to overthrow Trump for this is the critical piece they need to further their agenda globally. As you know, they have gotten to Boris Johnson who is following the same tactics as Andrews, the Madman of Australia. George Soros has been the one funding the REMAIN camp against BREXIT and I believe that Boris Johnson has been bought. That is the only rational explanation for this complete rejection of his own party’s principles.

Ever since the crash of 2008, a trend has developed in U.S. election debate: the near complete avoidance of serious discussion about the economy. Ron Paul was the last candidate to attack the subject with any energy, and that was quite a while ago now. The economic decline of our nation is being aggressively ignored, even though it is the most important issue of the past century.

Each of the presidential candidates obviously has very different economic focuses.

A recent article from Barron’s gives some insight into this, starting with the president: “If Trump is re-elected, he seems likely to continue with the policies pursued during his first term. At root, these were designed to let the private sector, the supply side of the economy, expand as rapidly as possible.”

In short, Trump’s economic focus leans toward job creation, wealth, and the betterment of private business.

He and his campaign need to tie Biden to the repellent elements of the Democratic Party and their radical agenda on remaking an America that the extreme left visibly detests, or to force Biden to repudiate those elements.

In their first debate, the president of the United States, challenged by the former vice president, performed poorly — even by his own estimation.

If memory serves, an instant poll showed that the American people, by 47-43, thought Walter Mondale had bested Ronald Reagan in the Louisville debate where the president made such gaffes as citing the high cost of the military’s “food and wardrobe.”

By week’s end, reflecting the press commentary, 80% of the country was of the view that Mondale had crushed Reagan.

Democrats were cheering Mondale as “The Louisville Slugger.”

Among Republicans, there was real alarm. Had The Gipper “lost it”?
