Indeed, good government in history has rarely been the norm. Power often benefits from suffering. As Americans we are not used to thinking this way about our elites. But it is probably time to realize that this trajectory is very much in play.
This might be the most striking change among millions of Americans over the last five or so years. We’ve come to realize that our leaders in so many sectors of American life (or global life, for that matter) do not favor our best interests. This is a troubling realization but it explains so much. It’s why the elites did not care about the harms of lockdowns or untested shots and are unconcerned about inflation, mass immigration, the rise of crime, squatting and the insecurity of property, exploding government debt, growing population surveillance, or anything like the normal rules of civilized life.
The regime, in the broadest possible way we can conceive of that term, simply doesn’t care.
Tens of millions of Americans sent Donald Trump to the White House in one of the biggest repudiations of the established political class in American history. In response, instead of reflecting on why so many Americans were so fed up with them, the establishment decided to frame Trump as the root cause of all the nastiness and hostility aimed their way. According to them, one man was corrupting America with hate, greed, and Russian propaganda.
That thinking has culminated in years of establishment attempts to remove Trump from power and later to bar him from ever holding office again.
Now some states are attempting to remove him from the 2024 ballot for a crime he hasn’t even been charged with.
The establishment is unwilling to admit that they are the reason Trump was elected. But, ironically, by attempting to disqualify him from participating in the election, they undermine the illusion of democracy – their main source of legitimacy in the eyes of many Americans.<1>
Yes, folks. This is what we call “our democracy.” Our devotion to popular sovereignty is the envy of the world. When Nancy Pelosi referred to the U.S. Congress as “the temple of our democracy” it brought tears to my eyes.
Today in 2024, you’re seeing America being changed from a sovereign country to a permanent travel destination for the world’s refugees. Instead of fixing their own countries, they flood America with all their commensurate problems, poverty, crime, illiteracy, rapes, drugs, anchor babies, religious chaos and multicultural violence.
As reported in Part 1 of this series, there’s no way we will survive the numbers, the environmental damage, the ethnic violence, the religious terror coming, and the loss of quality of life. Our major cities have become terror hotbeds of crime, killings, broken schools, shoplifting, and lots of crazy homeless people.
Worse, we remain on course to add 100,000,000 of those legal and illegal immigrants and their children to our country within 25 years. At the same time, we’re $33,000,000,000,000.00 (trillion) in national debt. We’ve got over 500,000 homeless Americans. We’ve got $105 billion in shoplifting annually. We’ve got 100,000 drug overdose deaths annually.
How will any of that improve? How much worse will it be with another 100 million foreigners within our country?
The difference between me and friends, cousins and children no longer speaking to me is that I think the left is evil. By which I mean, malignant, without the best interests of the ordinary man and woman at heart and filled with hate for normal, the good, the sane. I think they have deliberately maxed out the administrative state imprisoning every enterprise in a set of contradictory regulations. They have invited and paid for the invasion by the South into Europe and the US. They have deliberately destroyed the economies of the South via the same policies that are destroying our world. They have befuddled the middle class with false claims that alternative energy would work if the oil companies would just fold their tents and walk away.<1>
Ms. Nickson is a most perceptive writer and I highly recommend her Substack site Welcome to Absurdistan. What she says above is a basic truth about the left. They are wildly destructive and they inevitably preside over a political and cultural race to the bottom. They are vicious as ten minutes of study of Attorney General Garland’s persecution of the January 6 “insurrectionists” and Pres. Trump will prove to you. You can see the same viciousness in the hideous proxy war in Ukraine that our political class prosecute with such joy and abandon. Solzhenitsyn wrote the book on the ghastly crimes and stupidities of the Soviets. The record of the Chinese, North Korean, and Cambodian communists is equally appalling.
Lesson # 1: governments are the mass murderers of these our end times and leftists want you to enjoy unlimited government.
Yet this grisly record of tyranny, murder, and enthusiastic embrace of economically destructive (i.e., socialist) policies never dulls the leftist desire to grovel at the feet of arrogant state power. Like the iconic statue of the bull on Wall Street the future statue of leftist stupidity should be of a cringing man with his hat in one hand and his other hand outstretched for some bread crumb from some arrogant government functionary with the intelligence of a chihuahua. That is what the left wants and that is exactly where we’re about to go. Does “you’ll own nothing and be happy” ring a bell? That’s the New American Dream. Not what you want for yourself but it’s what the globalist, population reductionist, vaccine demons, and climate change fanatics want for you. Bet on it.
Even despite Kommander Klingon Schwab’s vision for our future, “our democracy” here in the U.S. has degraded to the same state where we have ten tons of empty agencies and rubber-stamp courts plus an elegant structure of political, legal, academic, and journalistic [nonsense] that exceeds even the magnificence of one of Nancy Pelosi’s Brazillian Blowouts. All something we did by our very own selves.
So the left in America is delighted to destroy the grandest experiment in self-government ever seen, replace the founding population with third-world invaders seeking free food and housing, and toy with irreversible tyranny like a kid poking a tiger through a three-foot wooden fence.
People knew exactly what Dr. Phil was driving at when he asked someone, “How’s that working out for you?” But the same cautionary question about the abandonment of our liberties falls on deaf ears. “Surely you’re not asking me to show the least skepticism about fourth-rate ideas or moronic “commentators” on TV!”
Well, we’ll see soon enough, especially if the corrupt MSM keep up the drumbeat of wildly dishonest propaganda and our next presidential election is stolen like the last one. Next stop Leftist Hell, comrades. It CAN happen here and we’re just going to damn well LOVE it.

The US doesn’t have a reputation for wise fiscal management for nothing. During one year of the Reagan administration the total annual deficit was $58 billion. Now we rack up that much in a DAY.
This is right up there with that Border Patrolman cutting the barbed wire that Texas Governor Abbott had placed on the border and standing there while illegals walk into our country. I thought it was our country, anyway.
At least they have nice white clothing. "Swan Lake." That's choice.
