It is January 6...

Big, big march in Washington. Followed probably by a release of more fraud info on the election. And nothing will come of it because we live in a Banana Republic...and Pence and pretty much any Republican in power Federal and State level doesn't have the balls to push back on anything.

Long-term the next 10 years are going to be interesting. Democrats evolved in the last 20 years from the Blue-Collar protect the American worker party to a conglomerate of political activists (race/gender/environmental/etc) and Globalists Elitist (China-apologists and mid-East war advocates). A chunk of the big-business globalists switched from Republicans to Democrats, and a bunch of the blue-collar types switched from Democrats to Trump (guessing the aftermath of Georgia will show a bunch of these folks didn't show up to vote). Republicans don't have them, and as long as the McConnell/Rubio types are running the party they never will . Eventually the Republican Party establishment will have to realize this shift and adjust, but they seem to prefer being well-paid-off losers so I don't think it will come quick or easy for them...especially since most of the Republicans in charge fall more on the Globalist side. Those folks will pay lip service to the base but never support or advocate for them.

Add to this we now have blatantly rigged elections...there was always some fraud before but nothing the magnitude of what happened in 2020. But looking back at the last 20 years I now think it has been more widespread than I ever thought before. Reason I say this is that the political parties naturally push to a 50/50 split...as they get power they push a little more in their direction (Left or Right) alienating some folks in the middle who move the other way. The Dems in the last 10 years have blown past that...instead of moderating their speech/policies they got more nutty and to compensate they adjusted the vote more and more. Not sure how it gets corrected either...as with all crimes once you start doing it you always rationalize an incremental increase. No thief suddenly decides to quite stealing...they instead talk about just a few more scores and a slightly bigger job. Add the added complexity of foreign involvement (if you don't think China funded a chunk if it you are HondoFS...) and it will be interesting/depressing on how it all shakes out.

Trump is going to ride off and merge/buy Newsmax, and turn it into the new Fox News pushing that transition of the Republican Party. No clue if it will work...have my doubts...but will be interesting to watch.

As for me, after all this I'm giving up on politics for a while...what is the point of getting worked up about options in a Banana Republic that has none? Maybe the system will get fixed but I doubt it...we will print money to throw at pointless causes...expand our two-tiered justice system...and evolve toward the corporate dystopia most SciFi material is based on. In a way evolving back to what it was in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Oh yeah, and I'll try not to disrespect our new Chinese overlords.
