My online friend the Buddha Ferret Man said the USA is headed to a possible USSR style break up due to Trump. According to History of Everything Video about the collapse of the USSR, the current situtation in the USA has several parallels.
One parallel is the USA is in the start of hard economic stagnation. According to Axios article "The American Dream's Closing Gate"
Unemployment is low so are new job postings
Divorce Rates are low, so are new marriages.
Home Values are High but new home sales are the slowest in a generation.
The labor market is frozen and due to that so are marriages and new births. Falling Birth rates especially the white babies have the fascists in a fit. Things are great if you already have those things otherwise its FUCK YOU!
Gen Z and younger are the ones going to get hit harder, they will be outside of their white picket fence looking in, never being able to get what these MAGA chuds are demanding that they are SUPPOSED TO HAVE. Guess what that leads to, anger and radicalization. You thought those protests in 2020 were bad. What will happen is going to be MUCH MUCH WORSE.
There is a reason Gen Z went for Mamdami in NTC in droves He is at least offering solutions, MAGA was just nostalgia for some mythic "golden age" that appealed to boomers and some of us Gen Xers.
This is pure Yay I got mine so fuck you.
Fascists LOVE SKINNY, and The Presidential Fitness Test being reintroduced is just another way to find more people to discriminate against have you seen most of the MAGA crowd, we are talking Bubba the Hutt here. Lawrence Taylor the NFL player who is heading his Presidential Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition is a registered sex offender, of course he is.
When the Soviet Economy totally collapsed in the 1980s, Gorbachev was PUBLICALLY HECKLED, people went up to him and said. "Go to our grocery stores, there is nothing there." That is starting to happen to wannabe dictator Trump. He has already pissed off his cult be abandoning "The Mission" with the Epstein files.
It was WWE Summerslam a few days ago and they shown a video of HHH visiting Trump at the White House for some fitness program that will include brining back that stupid Presidential Physical Fitness test. The Crowd BOOED him hard, the WWE crowd BOOED Trump. WWE along with UFC are the two crowds that Trump is hat home with Linda McMahon was hired to dismantle the Department of Education. WWE is supposed to be his SAFE SPACE, WrestleMania 3 and 4 were held at Trump Plaza and he is inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame Celebrity Section. That crowd is turning on him and it is giving me Romania 1989 vibes when the dictator was heckled by the people on 12/21 and then him and his wife received the Afterlife for Christmas and UFC fighter Sean Strickland is calling for armed revolution.
Another big group that went GA GA for MAGA were farmers, how are they doing.? Not well. Newsweek reports is the worst time to be a farmer right now. Tariffs and ICE raids are wrecking their overseas markets and their workforce is vanishing. Those BIG STRONG High Testosterone MAGA ALPHA MEN don't want jobs harvesting lettuce and tomatoes. They all want to be Crypto Bros and get wealth without work.
When the data comes out saying things are bad, Trump fires them and when goes to vacation in the Great State of Denial. There is another historical parallel is see going on here its the trainwreck that was Woodstock 1999, 3 days of garbage covered hot tarmac, overpriced concessions, contaminated water and overflowing shitters. The Top leadership was getting in front of the press saying "Everything is going great" when in reality things were falling apart. Right now USA is approaching mid Saturday when the crowd started throwing garbage at the main stage.
Trump will be rambling about is "Golden Age" right up until the Armed Revolt comes to White House or Mar A Lago to drag his ass out, put a bullet in his skull and hang his ass from a McDonalds sign.
American People are getting close to Woodstock 99 Sunday Night.
Kerosene Match BOOM!!!!!
