For a long time, being an enemy of America, democracy, freedom, marriage 1.0, or the West has been without adverse consequences, while support for America, democracy, freedom, marriage 1.0, or the West was apt to get you blacklisted, beaten up, your property destroyed, and likely to result in you being charged with trumped-up crimes.
For a long time, rigging elections has been without adverse consequences, while complaining about election rigging was apt to get you blacklisted, beaten up, your property destroyed, and likely to result in you being charged with trumped up crimes.
If Trump’s administration can and does bring charges for a single incident of 2020 ballot-box stuffing before the mid terms, he wins the mid terms.
If he cannot, he did not really win 2024, he will probably lose the mid terms, and it will not matter much whether he wins or loses.
The impact of Musk’s coup against USAID, and the massive layoffs we are now seeing in woke gaming and woke entertainment, suggests that Trump really did win in 2024.
The latest woke movie is Netflix’s Narnia adaptation with a transsexual Aslan. The trailer was released, people reacted as you might expect, and the Netflix movie division suffered massive layoffs the following day. Presumably the layoffs have been in the works well before the trailer was released, but they may have been sitting on them for a while to see how “modern” the “modern audience” is.
If woke gaming and a transsexual Aslan can lose people their jobs, ballot-box stuffing can get people jail time. We shall see.
The set of people who are Narnia fans and the set of people who want a Divine avatar depicted as transgender are non-overlapping, I think.
In other news, France is in the process of passing a law requiring people to declare self hosted crypto worth over a certain amount. Yeah right. Just broadcast that you have a $100,000 in a safe in your house that only you know the combination to. But I think that’s the point. Opening people up, who keep cash outside the banks, to stochastic terrorism.
