The Clear and Present Danger
Some important things to consider.
First, is that we need to begin thinking about what might be our worst possible outcomes, and scenarios, and prepare for them starting now. Start with the fact that we have a demonstrably mentally ill President, who should have been indicted, Impeached, or removed under the 25th Amendment already. That this has not happened should be an indicator that traditional concepts of politics, government, and elections no longer apply. Discussing candidates, electoral strategies, and Primaries, is akin to strategizing about or discussing a Ping Pong tournament in midst a Category 5 Tornado.
We are watching a Fascist takeover of the US Government, and facing WWIII. The form of Fascism which is taking hold is not Nazi style or even Italian style, but is uniquely American. It is not driven by Anti-Semitism, or anti-Communism. It is imbued by Racism, but not defined by it. It is a Fascism which is rooted in the deepest and ugliest form of cult Religious, nominally Christian Old Testament Fundamentalism which characterized the leaders of the Southern Confederacy, and its Second Generation, the KKK. It is tied to a desire for Global Religious War, and a return to an Oligarchical Economic System. This ugly outlook has been there all along, percolating, building into a force of opposition throughout the Obama Presidency, and has now been fully weaponized and deployed by the Trump Presidency. Frankly, Trump, his current inner circle, and hard core followers, are the greatest National Security threat and danger to our Constitutional System in history, because they represent the continuity of evil of that Southern Confederacy, and everything that abomination stood for.
The reality is, that if Trump is Impeached, which is unlikely, he will not give up power. If he loses the election, especially if close, he will not accept the results. Only a total landslide will secure the Nation's potential to survive.
As of now, there is not one Democratic candidate that has shown the full capability to defeat Trump. There is no candidate under any circumstances that can organize a landslide. Until something changes in this dynamic, I think we have to change our thinking about our strategies going forward.
Rather than live in a media controlled delusional fantasy state about the candidates Primaries, debates, electioneering, we need to organize the American people to understand what we need to fight for outside of the group of candidates who are going for the same Democratic failed strategy that elected Trump in the first place.
Trump has said what he will do if Impeached or defeated at the polls. He will not accept it, he will try to crash the Stock market, and he will unleash his violent supporters in a Civil conflict.
We need to plan ahead for what we have to do when that happens. It's easy to just react and say I'm being extreme, or doom saying. I would say that would be the wrong way to go.
