The crazier people get and the more of them, the more that CONTROL must trump personal privacy and freedom. I loathe the loss of freedom as I enjoyed a wonderful life in a wonderful time, but the people have radically changed since my youth.
The cameras will multiply just like AI, because of the good that such can do. Albeit good power in the hands of bad people is a bad thing.

“ It will never happen”.(quote UC)
And for the same reason that Trump didn’t just bomb Iran’s infrastructure back into the Stone Age. Tangential and Genocidal death numbers of non combatants.
If a single high up Dem would be prosecuted and jailed for attempting political “fundamental change “ they would go crazy and spill the beans on the rest and the dominos would start falling. And the MSM would scream “we told you so, muh Dictator “ killing mothers and children.The streets would be on fire as usual and Trump would have to wreak havoc to prevent expanding anarchy. ICE accidentally killed a couple of crazies in Minnesota and they had cut and run.
Zero chance Trump starts a shooting war over what many now see as legitimate political and ideological divisions. The old days of love of Capitalism and hatred of Communism are gone. The ‘new blood “ in the body politic has changed. They may be naive, stupid, entitled and misguided or downright Saul Alinsky activist re Socialism, but the basic needs and economic realities re the old days are fast changing. And AI will really be a foot on the gas pedal for radical transformation of economic paradigms.
Taking into account the above narrative doesn’t mean a total societal meltdown can be avoided. And the “never let a good crisis go to waste “ narrative be employed by whichever Side holds formal power in an organic collapse. For the sake of ‘National Security’. There are a lot of things that could easily trigger a brutal crackdown. I will no longer publicly mention those pernicious things/strategies which could be used by virtual nincompoops. For obvious reasons. Death Valley is too much fun.
We’ll get past it all. Likely with the Good Lord’s help.
Go Tigers!

Open or organized ‘rebellion’ from the Right happens in only one form. Such being that Red States simply NULLIFY Judicial hierarchy and claim to be ‘Sanctuary States’. With the vast majority of the people backing them up.
The real and definitive effect of any such radical action would result in a meltdown of economic system collapse. Assets, and basic goods and services mechanisms would lock up and but for the relatively few who have such life giving resources in hand, the muh rebellion would fizzle within two weeks. The massive Urban populations would go full heathen as political ‘soldiers’ easily took out energy infrastructure to said threatening urban opponents.
The best analogy is the Hurricane Katrina scenario, unrestricted to a local area. Had not the National Guard showed up with guns, water and MREs when they did, it would have been open war between haves and have nots. Tinged with underlying and long simmering racial and political divisions.
The bottom line is just like taking out the IRGC. Trump could easily do it by decimating infrastructure, but a LOT of non combatants and innocents would perish in the collateral aftermath.
Bottom line: No sane group or individual would ever begin such a process. Albeit the chances that such might happen organically (terrorism, ‘George Floyd’ bs, Natural causes, economic meltdown, etc) is high. There is a ton of crazy out there. And likely inevitable given the historical norm.

re: Is it TDS to acknowledge that President Trump sometimes makes things up?
Posted by RCDfan1950 on 8/19/26 at 8:40 am to IvoryBillMatt
Trump’s troll game is off the charts for high level politics from the Conservative side. From his initial “they are rapists “ bomb to his troll du jour it’s just an essential aspect of his character.
The definitive issues remain. Either we deport Biden’s open Border importation of Democrat voters or we get “fundamental change “ to Socialism. Either Iranian Islamists are allowed the Right to have nuclear weapons or they aren’t. Either DEI trumps the Constitutional Republic Capitalist Meritocracy as our base, national ethos or it doesn’t. Either men transitioning to ‘women’ are allowed to compete against true women or they aren’t.
All of the tangential fluff like the OP’s strategic post/point, designed to either support or resist the above ’either- or’ scenarios, is just petty ‘gotcha’ political activism. For the “dupes and useful idiots” who bite. Many do. The basic issues remain.

re: US Department of the Interior dunking on Jayden Daniels

Jayden should take hold and simply apologize. Before it does serious and irreparable damage to his life. A true admission from a real leader, that he is flawed just like all of us, and delivered with that big smile. Up goes his personal stock across the board. Just what our times call for.

DEI is the absolute polar opposite of a capitalist meritocracy. Based on a misguided sense of moralistic superiority it’s Communist devised strategy wreaks havoc in both the minds of simplistic “dupes and useful idiots “ and those who honestly labor to better themselves and the community, but also in regard to the functionality of the institutions and infrastructure which is the basis of complex civilization.
“Behold, there is a way which seemeth right unto man, but the end thereof is destruction”. Of course one could argue that a war-based strategy of defending or promoting absolutist Meritocracy principles devoid of mercy, against Marxist Egalitarianism attack could ultimately serve the same suicidal narrative and calamitous end. It’s pure Evil with narcissistic Greed on one side against entitlement-minded Envy on the other, with “wailing and gnashing of teeth” in a sanctimonious dogfight. A W for Lucifer.
As always, the ‘sweet spot’ where the power lies is in the center. The extremists on both sides have forced the whole political process into an ‘either v or’ struggle for power. It will likely be a painful experience getting back to the merciful but just Center.
Christians know that “only by Faith can one enter heaven”, but that “Faith without works is dead” as well. Truth.ultimately rules. Lord come quickly.

Iranian Military Leaders are the epitome of hyperbolic boasting. Though Kim in NK gives them a run. Even Trump has jumped in on occasion at an entertaining level.
Laughs aside, a single Russian supersonic missile into a Carrier would change the dynamics and force Trumps hand. Who knows from there.

Trump will fade fast once he's out of the spotlight, which energizes him. "Smite the shepherd and the flock scatters".
If there is a counterrevolutionary Resistance Movement, it will likely not come from politicos, but fiery warrior types rising up in local areas and uniting nationwide. Albeit there is the 'Cancel Culture' (demonetization) dynamic to be considered.
Honestly I think Authoritarian governance is inevitable. Just a matter of which Side is the most ruthless in their actions to take the formal Helm.
Guess we'll know pretty quick.

Any ‘Leader’ that does not confront the corrupt Judiciary (Supreme Court included) and Urban, ‘Sanctuary Cities’ voter role atrocities will simply by default, hand the reins of power to the Dem Socialist Party. Wherein Totalitarian government will be voted in and implemented for the sake of “social justice” and “fundamental change “. Period. End of the Constitutional Republic.
And such a “confrontation” will necessarily be outside of the corrupt System. In plainspeak…muh Dictatorial. And there is not a ‘Conservative Leader’ sucking air that will own the blood of that enterprise.
Jesus Christ could not bring the two polar ideological factions together. Voting damn sure can’t when voting IS the problem. It’s “mob rule “ vs the Constitutional Republic.
Strap in.

It seems that a civilizational axiom is becoming apparent. The more powerful, complex and ‘successful’ (think population) that a society becomes, the more CONTROL that the underlying societal institutions of governance MUST become. Essentially, said population growth is based on the increase of the weaker in society, which growth would otherwise not exist in a society with less economic power to distribute societal, morality-based largesse to the weak.
By the same metric, exponential increase in the weaker demographic of society is obviously problematic, especially minus Qualified Subsidization. And especially if a society is Democratic. And built on Individual Freedom. For all. As the weak will vote themselves ‘equal’ (DEI) shares of the GNP based on morality as opposed to merit. I.e., “social justice “.
New Axiom : Powerful societies must adopt CONTROL Mechanisms relative to the increase in both the weaker individual demographic and that of predatory stronger demographics as well. Lest systematic dysfunction result in collapse.
Bottom line: CONTROL
It’s coming. Very interesting time.

Eric Metaxas' new Book "Revolution" will likely lay the rationale for the only war that will truly determine this Nation's fate. The coming 'Civil War' within our own Borders, to determine which Ideology (Socialist v Capitalist) holds forma power. You have to have your head in the sand not to see this coming.
