Quoted: i think in the end, a bump in the road.. i hope. View Quote And probably wrong. With the IMF telling. Gov to spend as much as possible and the WEF cheering on a "reset" . I'm betting 2024-26 will be an interesting time. Economies will tank and WEF will tell everyone how they'll fix it. Evil capitalism caused the issues and communism will fix it. Or not |

Pearl Harbor and 9/11 unified the country.
Biden as president has the exact opposite effect. |

Pretty low.
Questionable election integrity One side calling for persecution and re education of the other side. Immense debt load both public and private. It bodes of bad endings |

Pearl harbor and 9/11, as bad as they were for the participants, were just bumps in the road in the story of our Nation.
Today marks a fundamental and *irreversible shift in how this Nation is governed. Everything changes, for all time. Obviously, it’s not because of today. It’s been coming for a long time. *irreversible, within our lifetime. |

Today itself is nothing other than show. Not much honestly changes today. The deep state has been around for quite a while now and will continue doing its thing.

View Quote The difference I see is that the door (or at least a window) was opened, shining a light on the corruption, hypocrisy, and elitism of the deep state. They turned the gaze of most of America away from the truth, but the door closes today. |

Worse than Jan 6, which makes it the worst day in the history of the universe if my calculations are correct.

All the normalcy bias folks:
People have been predicting the seemingly inevitable future commie takeover for decades. It was not a question of if, but when. Why is it so hard to believe that it finally happened? Its like speculating for decades on how long you are going to live, then you have a heart attack and think "no way can I die today, I've lived so long, everything is going to be fine" as you lose consciousness for the last time. We all knew that eventually this day would come. Now we don't have to wonder when anymore. Even if you don't believe this is what is happening, at least acknowledge this is how it happens. Slowly and then suddenly. |

every new election can't perpetually be the most important election in the history of the country. The part that really sucks was flipping the senate, which is the only reason it's not a total nothing burger.

View Quote I won't give up as long as there is breath in my body, but it is not normal when an incoming party censors, demonizes, and purges its political opposition from the military in coordination with the media, corporations, and NGO's. Anyone who says this is a "nothing burger" has an insufficient grasp of history, and they would have been the same useless know-nothings saying the same thing in the context of any other emerging totalitarian society...1917 Russia, 1933 Germany, etc. Those years had their normalcy biased retards too...and if they even survived, they probably continued calling it a "nothing burger" throughout the entire reign of terror. |

Today included the results of every election, and the removal of any possibility of justice being done to the corrupt officials on the left who, in concert with a corrupt mainstream media, staged a soft coup. |

The right is not willing to commit violence when violence is the only solution.
The GOPe is not willing to force the elections to be secured. The majority of voting people were just disenfranchised by an obvious fraud election. There will never be another free and fair election. The left is completely unchecked and pursuing putting their political opponents into extermination camps. We created Israel and made sure the Capitol is Jerusalem. God has written the United States off. Tell me I'm wrong and how. |

Just another day.
At this point everything that can hurt America and strengthen our enemies will be done. There's really nothing I can do about it but live my life and deal with day to day interaction best I can. Though I'm sure it will happen occasionally I don't want to be angry for the foreseeable future. Trump lived in peoples' heads for years. Fuck Joe and anyone who wanted this. The inmates are running the asylum now. |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: every new election can't perpetually be the most important election in the history of the country. The part that really sucks was flipping the senate, which is the only reason it's not a total nothing burger. It's true that people have predicted dire consequences after every lost election. That's human nature to exaggerate in the wake of an emotionally charged event. But this one wasn't just another election. This was an inflection point. Jan 20th cements the takeover of America by an unelected, unaccountable oligarchy, something that has been underway for a long time. Angelo Codevilla, in "From ruling class to oligarchy": https://amgreatness.com/2020/11/20/from-ruling-class-to-oligarchy/ In short, during the Obama years the ruling class was becoming an oligarchy that ruled by exercising the powers of government and of incumbency in corporations as well as all manner of social institutions. Private institutions, allied with government and inspired by government-supported universities, increasingly exercised arbitrary powers. But by November 2016 this oligarchy had yet to articulate itself into something capable of acting for a common purpose. That is why the 2016 election may prove to have been the last more-or-less bona fide free election in America's history. Donald Trump's surprising victory proved to be the catalyst for this oligarchy to articulate itself into something that was able to transcend our constitutional republic altogether, to dispense with and even to penalize the habits and institutions that had held it together. Ours is now a socio-political system wholly different from that constitutional republic of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is mandating a way of life that few in America could have imagined. And his January update: https://amgreatness.com/2021/01/19/clarity-in-trumps-wake/ Oligarchy had long been growing within America's republican forms. The 2016 election posed the choice of whether its rise should consolidate, or not. Consolidation was very much "in the cards." But how that election and its aftermath led to the fast, thorough, revolution of American life depended on how Donald Trump acted as the catalyst who clarified, energized, and empowered our burgeoning oligarchy's peculiarities. These, along with the manner in which the oligarchy seized power between November 2016 and November 2020, ensure that its reign will be ruinous and likely short. The prospect that the republic's way of life may thrive among those who wish it to depends on the manner in which they manage the civil conflict that is now inevitable. |

Only time will tell realistically, it likely does not bode well for the republic, but ten years from now we will see how bad it truly was.

A few months of flexing, some uncomfortable legislation, once Covid is normalized, a 4- year nothing burger. The sun will rise, someone will win the Stanley Cup, beer will go on sale at Liquor Mart, life will go on, then you will die, and no one will really miss you.

View Quote It won't take more than two years, if they accomplish the agendas that have mandated for themselves , green new deal, open borders, stack SCOTUS etc... and sweep the mid-terms then 1-20-2021 will not only be the worst day in American history it will mark the day America died. |
