We have elected a president that promised to become a dictator, and to somehow stop America's fast decline. A supposed business genius that we now find is simply a con man and liar.
Have we indeed become great? let us look at some things that have changed.
1. low income US citizens are loosing rural mail service, free medical care, and much of the safety net that the US was once respected for. It is a kind of corporate downsizing, where the lower wealth US citizens will be made homeless, driven from place to place by militarized police, and finally expelled from the US or killed. Our willingness to pay for the Israelis to drive surviving native Israelis into Egypt foreshadows the plans for the continental US. Perhaps here, homeless Americans could be driven south into Mexico? The small share of national wealth that was held by the lower half of the US economy will be passed to the super rich as tax savings and lucrative government contracts. Elon will be able to continue heating up and harming the earth, and will likely get to play rocket man with the money that was once used to control monopolies, and feed, house and medicate the poor. He will fly to mars on food stamps!
2. We have paid the Israelis to continue bombing Gaza, so that their prime minister can continue to ignore the will of his own constituents. They have turned Palestinians, who are basically the native Israelis, into non humans who should be killed or driven off. Much like the poor and the undocumented in the US, these unwanted natives have been hunted and pushed from place to place for 75 years or more. Where they used to run rural farms, they are now jammed into walled cities, and may not leave. This is very obviously the most cruel thing that the US has paid for and participated in since we chased the native Americans around, killed them and destroyed their food supply. Amusingly, we colonizers killed off our own food supply as well, so that cows would dominate the landscape instead of deer and buffalo. We had essentially privatized the free meat!
3. We have purposely hurt our allies, and driven them to deal with our enemies and competitors. Now, Canada will be buying from China and Europe instead of from us.They have sent us back our Tennessee sipping whiskey and our hated Tesla cars.They are currently talking about charging us to go to Alaska by road, or even blocking our land access entirely. The reason for our attacks against Canada are totally absurd, as most fentanyl goes from the US to Canada, and not the other way around. Who will benefit from these trade wars? certainly not ordinary middle class citizens. Their wages will drop, many will loose jobs, and prices will go up. Homeless populations will soar in the US and in our trade war enemies. As I have predicted for years, poor people will soon be hordes of zombies, driven from place to place, but denied entrance into cities or towns. Instead of help, they will get bullets and tear gas.
4. We have betrayed NATO, which is our strongest group of allies. NATO uses our super expensive and slightly better f35 jet as it's main air workhorse. Common use of this jet made the US rich, and allowed NATO forces to coordinate well, and to easily maintain this one kind of machine. Like the Tesla car, the f35 is now a symbol of the the cruel and abusive trump regime. Unless we change our behavior, NATO will let it's f35s age out without much maintenance. They will replace them with much cheaper, and only slightly more visible and less lethal planes.
5. It is clear to the rest of the world [although, strangely, not to us?] that a coup has occurred, where the biggest companies in the US have literally taken over the federal government. Nothing about the coup was secretive. the plan was published long before the election. The company heads paid for trumps election, and stood behind him from the start. Social security would be defunded. The early warning health care system that we set up for the entire world would be abandoned. We would shutter pretty much every government department meant to control monopolies and discourage fraud and corporate cheating. We would abruptly stop assisting the poor all over the world, leaving a huge gap for china to stroll into. China will now get the good will and raw materials of the third world nations that we abandoned.
6. US Judges are the last line of defense. If Trump can safely ignore their decisions, or fire the ones that will not cooperate, the US will quickly change its form of government. We will be done with the rule of the people, and will be lead by the wealthiest Americans. It seems likely that there will be attempts to rebel. Ironically, Trump will have to disarm the people of the US, even though a love of private gun ownership was a hook used to fool the working class into electing the despot. To sum this up, i will answer my title question. Israel is our last remaining ally. After both the US and Israel further infuriate the world with epic misbehaviors, This strong partnership will have to fight the entire world. I don't see how we can win a war like that. It is so strongly reminiscent of WW2, where Germany and Japan took on the entire planet. You can only fight the whole world when your country is ruled by hate and division. Hate starts wars, but does not win them. Hate always turns on itself in time, as it did for Germany. Hitler started strong, but later turned against his strongest ally. Does this sound similar to our present situation? I believe so. i want to leave you with an image:
Imagine the leaders of many countries meeting to decide how to oppose, and even destroy, the US of A. Instead of a period of glorious prosperity, we are headed for world war. It will be fought right here, in US cities and rural areas. Because our weapons are more powerful, it will not be quick, like ww2. i believe that it will drag on for decades, until folks forget why they are fighting. Remember that during world wars, we also have pandemics, internal race wars, and increasing natural disasters.
So, for your safety, i will provide the following:
You can translate "can I have some food?" to Chinese as
"我可以吃点东西吗？" (Wǒ kěyǐ chī diǎn dōngxi ma?).
Here's a breakdown:
我可以 (wǒ kěyǐ): "I can" or "I may".
吃 (chī): "to eat".
点 (diǎn): "a little" or "some".
东西 (dōngxi): "things" or "food".
吗？ (ma?): question marker.
also please memorize:
我其實是一個美國原住民。我在第三次世界大戰期間強烈反對唐納德·特朗普
Wǒ qíshí shì yīgè měiguó yuán zhùmín. Wǒ zài dì sān cì shìjiè dàzhàn qíjiān qiángliè fǎnduì tángnàdé·tè lǎng pǔ
which means:
i am actually a native American. i strongly opposed Donald Trump during ww3.
In the present day, over 30% of Germans think that their family was anti Hitler, and helped to hide Jews during WW2. It is time to come up with the story that you will tell your grand kids when they ask you why you supported trump. Why you took no action while the education system was purposely crippled, immigrants were rounded up and sent to torture prisons in El Salvador, and when we turned against our own allies in a trade war, and then, in a shooting war.
