Politics is for Suckers

And I'm not just referring to Kamala

When I moved to South Korea in 2008 the most common question I was asked was “McCain or Obama?” I was a little surprised at the time how interested that part of the world was in US Politics but unsurprised that no one knew who Ron Paul was at the time. The binary choice of red vs blue, Bear v Shark, Coke vs Pepsi, is key to marketers and propagandists alike. Clinton vs Bush, Bush vs Gore, Bush vs Kerry, Obama vs McCain, Obama vs Romney, all of these “choices” were illusory. More importantly, thanks in part to Alex Jones and other Alt-Media voices, more and more people were realizing how the left-right paradigm works.

Then 2016 came along. At the time, I believed that the system was trying to run Bush vs Clinton 2.0 with Jeb and Hillary. Looking back, however, the Trump card may have been the play of the Friends of Epstein, Servants of Satan all along. Trump brought people back into the game who had long since checked out. Even Alex Jones bought into backing and promoting the Orange Man for CEO of Slavery, Inc. If the system had stolen the 2016 election and selected Hillary (which I’m sure she thought was the plan), the charade may have been in serious jeopardy. Instead, we got four years of building the wall Trump bragging about mostly cosmetic changes while continuing the Bush/Obama wars, starting Space Force, and of course Operation Warp Speed.

2020 was a reminder to Donald Trump and all the deplorables that elections are as real as NASA missions to outer space. The only person less-likeable than Joe Biden was Kamala Harris so of course she was selected as Vice President. Joe Biden’s 81,000,000 votes (and maybe half that many voters) was designed to make everyone paying even the least bit of attention really, really mad. The events of January 6th were designed to make it so Trump could never again run for president and nobody would consider going to D.C. to be a lectern guy to protest anything anytime soon.

And now here we are in 2024. Whether we get four years of Trumpimania or four years of Kamala, what I am confident of is we’re about to get four months of spectacle. My general rule for predicting US Presidential elections is to just assume the most evil candidate will win. However, my revised rule is to assume that the whatever candidate can do the most damage to the remaining vestiges of America will win. Is it most damaging to have Trump win but select a whole new cabinet of people that hate his voters? Or to have Trump assassinated? Or to have Kamala “win” an election despite being such a terrible candidate she dropped out of the primary in 2020 before a single vote was even cast? And no, I’m not falling for the Hillary Clinton-planted stories about her swooping in to get the nomination. The Clinton/Bush crime family era of US Presidential politics is over and that is one thing for which we can be genuinely thankful.
