Well, it looks like Trump has finally gotten back into the White House. This is cause for celebration, but of the rather muted kind as this is not the Trump of old.
Nonetheless, he looks less likely to start unnecessary wars than Harris, which is the main reason the neo-con Establishment switched to the Democrat Party, and the main reason i was hoping it would turn out this way. The second reason i was backing Trump is that if the propaganda had worked like it did in 2020 that would have been the end for any non-Establishment candidates. The bastards in the Oligarchy would have known that this shit works again and again, and all future outsiders would have been labelled either Hitler or Stalin and they wouldn’t have the slightest chance to get anywhere near the White House. As it is, the Oligarchs now know that they are going to have to come up with something a lot better than telling the American people that a man who spent four years proving he isn’t a fascist is a fascist! Good news for all, and perhaps a sign that the majority of the American electorate is becoming a lot smarter than they have been in the past.
Now, of course, we have to worry about all the bad shit Trump will do. Like backing the Gaza genocide with at least as much fervor — or at least more overt fervor — than Harris. But who knows, maybe the Establishment has had enough of the Ziofascist state screwing over their soft power and they’ll get Trump to smack Israel down, or at least tell it to get it all over quickly so that the whole thing can be memory-holed. Terrible for the Gazans, but better a quick death than a slow one, poor bastards.
We also have to keep an eye on what he does or does not do about Ukraine. He, unlike Harris, at least says he’ll pour water on that spark for a third world war, but then he says a lot of things. What worries me here is that by supporting the American Empire by supporting their Zionist henchman in the Middle East, he may be signalling that he is not so much America First as American Empire First, and since the proxy war is also a project of the American Empire he may find an excuse to keep that one going. But, hey, at least unlike Harris he’s saying the right things. Not much to pin your hopes on, i know, but this is how things are.
Oh, and isn’t it weird how quickly the result was called? I was expecting days of tension, instead it was all over in a few hours. A little after 11 pm New York time, the NY Times published a graphic saying he had an 87% chance of winning. That’s when i knew he probably had it in the bag — when people who hate you say you’re probably gonna win, it means you’re probably gonna win.
So congratulations to you, President Trump, and enjoy your bananas.
