Moronic behavior on one side — a corrupt system on the other — where's a "real" American to go?

Let's take another look at the 2020 presidential election

 

President Trump — who has a great eye for eliciting public resentment — and none at all for choosing capable subordinates with whom to improve conditions — allowed his lawyers to file too many reportedly poorly presented, poorly strategized lawsuits against the 2020 election outcome.

 

Only when Texas finally got into the act — much too late in this legal Momentum Game — did anyone with well-thought-out professional smarts contribute.

 

Texas' effort turned out poorly, only because our cowardly US Supreme Court again proved what a useless and mendacious body it is.

 

 

In reviewing the societal evidence . . .

 

. . . we can tentatively come to three conclusions:

 

 

First, the United States is run by an institutionally entrenched Oligarchic Establishment that will not permit opponents to disagree with it. Paul Craig Roberts' take on this is not too extreme.

 

Second, a moronically acting and unstrategically minded opposition — namely, complacently egotistical President Trump, as well as his mentally unmoored crew of tantrum-screaming, prominently individual legal dopes — could not present solid enough opposition (to the Hierarchy) to meaningfully weaken its grip.

 

And third, the intrusion of genuine acumen — here comprised of Texas and its accompanying 18 other Attorneys General — arrived too late to rectify the pitiful mess already made by the first two components to this equation.

 

 

The result?

 

Roughly half of American voters have been cheated out of any sense of having received institutional fair play.

 

 

The future?

 

Tumult.

 

Brought on by a combination of repressive Oligarchy, obviously failed institutions and legitimately held mass resentment.

 

 

The moral? — Spirit of 2020 is not going to leave, even when the calendar flips

 

Things will probably get uglier. Deservedly so.

 

Stupidity, repression and feelings of helplessness make an unfragrant soup.

 

"Bubble this, m-f-er," may as well be our national mantra.
