Kurt Schlichter, the author from the post above, wrote a series of novels about that.

Very similar to the “4th Turning Cycle” described in the book of the same name by William Strauss & Neil Howe, back in the 90s. Great book. Absolutely NAILS predictions about the 2020 election.

I see. Mentioning state or county secession is against FR policy, but forcing millions of Americans to submit experimental gene therapies is completely encouraged? My, how FR has changed. For the worse. I thought FR was PRO-FREEDOM? Guess not.

Look up Pinonchet.

Okay, I looked up Pinonchet. Top hit is a rap tune at Flapbeatz.

Or did you mean Pinochet? Look it up.

I’m not sure a strongman will emerge from a nation whose people are the fattest, most passively entertained and comfortable and the least used to hard physical labor in all of history. I suspect we are going to be amazed at what will be tolerated as long as people can remain fat, entertained, and comfortable as it happens to them.

As you may have noticed, there is a concerted effort to pin on some conservatives actions that can be considered insurrection, etc.

Not advocating for secession is a FR policy and one that has at least been in place since 2000. I believe it's the correct policy. Why? Because hot talk leads to hotter talk. You already have some posters supporting overthrow of the current government. Not refraining from that sort of talk on FR subjects the FR Site to increased surveillance, etc.

And my guess is that it's also a potentially big headache if talk gets so hot that the FR owner gets a visit from Federal or State LE with a subpoena.

Maybe yours ain't, but my state is still armed.

They won’t have to invade.
