If you didn't watch the debate. It's about what you expect. They even talked about golf and who was better for about 5 minutes. Geriatric plutocracy and it's best.
Anyway, the Establishment has turned on Biden. I expected this, I'm sure many of you did. He was always meant to be a fall guy. An old fool, who did not understand. Someone who could take the wrap for doing poorly and evil.
So now they're talking almost instantly about a replacement. I was told by people I knew that it was too late for a replacement. A last minute replacement is really genius. You don't have time to deep delve. Well you and I do... With people who don't know what to look for don't. The people who don't understand the system don't.
They will get some sort of obama-ish figure. Attractive, suave, wellspoken, inspiring... Sweeping victory. Then they will do business as usual, as you would expect from the empire. How can they do anything but? The new hero we'll do monstrous things, primarily abroad. And they might even have something like the affordable health Care act, some really basic Band-Aid to cover a horrible illness. And they were parade around the celebrities, and talk about the importance of the worker. And they will hurt the worker, and they will grow the wealth Gap, and they will violate the Rome statutes, and they will grow the military industrial complex, and they will grow the police state, grow the surveillance.
People are afraid of authoritarianism. America has it, but not as they understand it. The micro level; the local cops. But it higher levels, in the open, it's more difficult in America. For everything America is, there was a fear of tyrant in the beginning, and that fear lives in the culture. So a tyrant would not last. Plutocracy is more discreet; though , in recent years... Never mind.
Ultimately, All they have to do is keep kicking the can down the road. Keep playing yo-yo. Things will get better, and then they'll get worse, but then they'll get better, but then they'll get worse. And people will keep believing that if only it we're not for... Insert group... They would live better. They would keep moving forward. Because they don't know they're on a yo-yo, they don't know they're tied up with string.
So then... Is the coming hero more of a threat, than the dragon?
