Post-Election Autopsy

The side-show known as the US Presidential election of 2020 is over… well, kind of.

Trump has been running around with what’s left of his hair on fire, accusing everyone of fraud and vote-rigging.

He has been demanding vote recounts in states where Biden won by slim margins.

He has also deployed Re-Count Dracula Rudy Giuliani to file lawsuits in every state to dispute the results. So far, they have been dismissed.

But Trump should not accuse anyone of cheating since he won 4 years ago thanks only to the electoral college swinging votes his way, and away from Billary. Trump lost by 3 million popular votes.

He didn't care about re-counting votes and slim margins, and fair elections back then, and neither did his supporters. Now, they have all turned self-righteous. What goes around, comes around. Trump won by fraud, and if he lost by fraud, then so be it. The circle is closed.

It also seems kind of odd that Biden and the Democrats would concoct this elaborate electioneering fraud to win himself the presidency, yet leave the senate and house races alone. The Democrats actually lost a few seats, and gained like one senate seat?

If you’re going to cheat to put yourself in the oval office, then make sure you also hook up your aspiring congressional peeps with some fake votes. Biden needs a friendly support staff in congress, else he can’t really do much as far as passing legislation goes. So either the democrats are terrible election fixers, or they didn't rig anything.

With the recounts and lawsuits not going his way, and the end of his presidency now a foregone conclusion, Trump will now lash out at anyone who he sees as responsible for his loss. He will not accept responsibility for anything, of course. He never does. His last few months will not be pleasant. No telling what he will do.

Trump’s terrible Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has been running around lately, threatening Iran and China, and slapping more and more sanctions on them. Seems that Trump had some nasty things planned for his next 4 years, but due to his election loss, he will try to squeeze as much of it as possible into his last 2 or so months. It is a dangerous situation right now.

But the elections in the US have never been fair, and the peoples’ right to vote was never really sacred; and much denied. For a long time, many people were barred from voting because they were too poor and didn’t own the minimal amount of land. Senators were not elected by the general public until 1913, and women could not vote until 1920 - exactly 100 years ago. Non-whites were prevented from voting well into the 20th century.

The US public is convinced that their crude and rigged electoral system is the best, and has no equal. They still pretend that there aren’t any problem with it. 244 years of social engineering and brainwashing have done their job.

Donald Trump will remain bitter about his election loss well into the future. Fraud or not, he will never forgive anyone for not being re-elected, and therefore will play spoiler for the next 4 years, sending out insulting, hypocritical tweets left and right, and he will undoubtedly try to stuff one of his spawn into the oval office in 2024. So, expect someone from the Trump clan in the future.

There was no massive fraud. At most, there were election irregularities borne out of human mistakes and technical issues, and lack of organization. This all happens in every election.

And lawsuits and recounts won't save Trump. No one seriously believes in these accusations. So why do some people want Trump for another 4 years so badly?

This desire is understandable from those close to him who were promised substantial favors and such, if he continues on; they definitely have a reason to push, and believe this election fraud nonsense. But the rank-and-file electorate? Why are they so invested in this Trumpian claptrap? Did he, or someone he knows, promise each of them a substantial financial and/or material benefit if they stay loyal to him no matter what? Because what else could it be? Trump's performance has been lackluster, and his foreign policy is in-line with the deep state, if not by words than in actions. And actions speak much louder than words.

Trump's stolen elections conspiracy theory will take on a life of its own among his acolytes, and be perpetuated as gospel truth well into the future; just like the fake Russian collusion accusations have been-even up to today-by those who hate Trump, and the birther conspiracy regarding Obama is. These three lies will always have their faithful adherents, the truth be damned.

Another thing to consider Is that Trump may be deliberately holding out on conceding the election to pressure Biden into accepting Trump's policy decisions. Once Biden does so, Trump will step away. There may be all sorts of bargaining going on behind the scenes. 

We also can't discount the possibility that Trump is just doing this to generate sensationalism and PR in preparation for a life after the presidency. Screaming election fraud could be a way to build a fan base and collect money in furtherance of some goals he may pursue, such as a Trump TV station where he can indulge his nuttiness well beyond office, and build a loyal army of followers who believe all his nonsense. He may also be organizing a political organization that represents his peculiar views. All this would be entirely in-keeping with Donnie's TV persona and love for attention-getting.

But it could all be simply revenge. The democrats came up with the Russiagate hoax to spite Trump 4 years ago, and this year Trump came up with the election fraud hoax to spite the democrats. And it is sad that Trump hasn't learned from his experience and is being just as bad.

Biden's victory may have been required by the nervous establishment in order to diffuse the popular anger that's been brewing for months and years. We saw the same scenario with Obama's victory in 2008. The economic crisis of that year caused a lot of anger and protests, and Obama was the pin that popped the balloon before it got too big.

Also, people have a limited imagination regarding what constitutes election fraud. Election fraud is also committed when candidates brainwash and manipulate the public to vote for them. It is the most subtle type of voter fraud, and the most insidious way of rigging elections. And the Republicans and Democrats both excel at it. This, and preventing 3rd parties from getting on the ballot by filing lawsuits and court-orders against them.

Another delusion that specifically the democrats have talked themselves into, is that the reason why more people aren’t voting them into congress is because the more liberal, progressive democrats among them have supported de-funding the police, and socialist initiatives like government-sponsored healthcare.

The democrats say that this is costing them the votes of independents and more conservative democrats.

But this is a lie. The reason why more people don’t want to vote for democrats isn’t because the democrats push universal health care, and medicare for all plans. The majority of the US population would welcome such things.

What people don’t like about the Democrats is their promotion of, and pushing onto them the aberrant LGBTQ+ ideology, gay marriage, identity politics, gender studies, hypocritical anti-racism efforts, gun control, and other such questionable and deeply divisive issues and ideas that will never be resolved to anyone’s satisfaction, and that are simply used as electioneering hot-buttons by incompetent and lazy politicians to win easy votes from fools. The democratic party excels at this. And this is the real reason why they’re losing votes.

This is fake liberalism on-the-cheap, which champions social wedge issues which won’t be resolved and cannot be, while shunning the real progressive initiatives where money has to be spent, real effort and time expanded, and where they stand to annoy the US corporatocracy and deprive them of any profits in favor of the people.

This also has the added benefit of getting the Democrats out of having to make serious healthcare reforms later.

So supposed support for universal healthcare and defunding the police are just a cover for why the democrats think they’re not getting more votes.

This outs Biden and Harris as fake liberals, who don’t really care about the sexual deviants and other freaks, and just seek to exploit them for their own political ends.

With the waning of US power, more people in the US are becoming disillusioned with the government and the system.

So the establishment puts on a show, with fake political opposition and pushing of controversial subject-matter to generate popular anger and set one group of people against another, and get the heat off of themselves.

Because nothing sets people off, and unites them more than fear, anger, and hate. The US establishment knows this, and will use these emotions to manipulate and control them. They used to stoke these emotions to target outsiders and elections in other countries. But today, they are applying them within the US. Fear, anger, and hate are the only things they have to offer the broken US populace. They have nothing else of value to give them anymore.

The democrats and republican parties and their lackeys are great at pointing out the other side’s lies and dirty deeds.

But they’re both horrible at coming clean about their own shortcomings, and do a good job of hiding foibles for which they both share guilt for.

That’s why there has to be a 3rd force to point out both of their dishonesty, and journalists who won’t be afraid to expose corruption for fear of arrest, or worse.
 

Hopefully, any and all of Biden’s attempted future warmongering and sanctions encounter even greater resistance and failure than Trump’s have. If he tries to play his old boss's regime change games, he will end up a worse failure than Trump has been.

People should not have high expectations out of Biden.

The world needs a reset, this much is certain. The US is incapable of keeping itself together, never mind the rest of the world.

What needs to happen, is that the EU, China, Russia, and even the UK need to get together and come up with a new way forward on an equitable basis, without the involvement of the US. It is high time for this. And they need to do it soon, before the nonsense in the US spills over into other countries.

Regardless of Trump’s election loss tantrums and claims of fraud, none of it matters. The biggest fraud is the US itself. The rest are just symptoms.

Pre-Election Analysis

It is election day in the US, and things are bound to get interesting.

Already, shop and restaurant owners are preparing for any and all mayhem by shuttering and boarding up their places of business.

Police and national guard troops are all in standby mode.

So let’s reflect on this unusual election season, dissect the candidates, and see what we can, or can’t expect from them.

Before going into the details, it must be mentioned that regardless of whichever old fart wins, nothing will change. Both of these guys serve the status quo.

There is very little difference between them, and if Biden wins he will surely continue Trump’s policies for the most part, just like Trump continued Obama’s.

The problem with Biden is that if he gets elected, the EU liberal crowd will once again check their senses at the door, and spread their butt cheeks wide open for the US again, no questions asked. With the reckless Trump, they have been somewhat suspicious and a little more defiant. This is where Trump has a plus.

If Biden wins, and he starts engaging in political witch hunts against Trump and his henchmen and women, and dares to resurrect the Russiagate hoax instead of tackling the pandemic and economic chaos, then he will have a very bad start, a horrible 4 years, and a fall much worse than Trump. He better not fool around with partisan political grudges and other such garbage and do his job, and not play inquisitor. He just can’t afford it.

Regardless of whichever candidate wins, US power and authority will continue to wane. With Trump, the process will be faster. With Biden, it will be a bit slower.

There are undoubtedly intellectually-stunted people out there, mainly in the US, who will wax polemic about why the US will not collapse like other empires because it is somehow different from the others, and that the same rules don’t apply to it.

But this is simply self-delusion, as surely other former empires, now long-gone, also had their professional true believers who wrote gleaming skreeds about how their nations and empires are the greatest in history, different and special, indispensable in some way, and how they will last forever.

This has been said in the past, and will be said in the future - regardless of the country involved.

Much has also been said by pundits about the Democrats making the same mistakes as they did in 2016, that those mistakes got Trump elected, and that this time around the results will be the same.

However, in 2016 Trump was still a political outsider. He didn’t have a history of holding any political office. His ideas and rhetoric were still interesting and fresh enough to appeal to broad segments of the population.

Voters’ curiosity, and Trump’s lack of political baggage is what allowed him to eek out a victory.

But Trump has been in office for 4 years now, and his reckless behavior and bad decisions have left many of the curious voters disillusioned and angry.

So yes, even though the democrats have no new ideas, and cling to the same old shtick, Trump also no longer has the advantages he had 4 years ago. 

But again, George W. Bush won a 2nd term in 2004 after the Iraq war debacle, so we can't underestimate the lack of judgment by the US electorate.

But we do owe Trump a debt of gratitude for revealing the USA's true malignant, spiteful nature. For far too long, previous US regimes have sought to hide and dress-up their crimes and excesses.

And along comes Trump and tears down all the curtains. This is why the Democrats and the liberal establishment hate him so much. He exposed them. Because of Trump, it will now be much harder for any US regime to manipulate and coerce others into going along with its evil policies. Because of Trump, there will be more resistance and distancing.

So if nothing else, thank you Donald Trump for revealing to us the ugly face of the USA. Because of you, less people like and trust your land. And don't worry. Should Biden win, your work will not be lost on anyone. If you win, you will just make things worse.

But people who don’t have a say in this election, or for whatever reason can’t, or won’t vote, don’t emotionally invest yourselves in the outcome. Don’t root for, or prefer either buffoon, because they’re both bad candidates who will not make anything better, except for themselves and their lackeys.

Treat the US Presidential Election of 2020 like the over-hyped, sensationalist side-show that it is.

Have fun!
