Earth to Prognosticators: Cool Your Jets

There is only one true “prognosticator of prognosticators” in this world, and that is Phil the Groundhog in Groundhog Day. Because Phil, like The Secret Garden’s Susan Sowerby, knows. He knows that wishing and hoping and tears and prognosticating won’t bring Spring even a day early. Susan Sowerby knows that every kid needs to learn that they don’t get the whole orange.

Right now, what with Putin and the tragic loss of the Moskva and galloping inflation and Elon Musk’s bid for Twitter and the question of when, not if, the next recession will start, the prognosticators are in full cry.

Then there is the question of whether it’s all over for the US Dollar as Russia and China and India create their own financial system. Or World War III.

There’s the question of whether the upcoming midterms will be the biggest wipeout for the Democrats since 1938. Yes, did you know that the Democrats lost 72 House seats in the 1938 midterms?

There’s the question of whether President Biden will serve out his term, and also the question of whether the Deep State will remove the vice president first, as it did with Vice President Spiro Agnew in 1974.

Now, I am writing this because I read Curtis Yarvin wondering whether Elon Musk’s bid for Twitter “is meaningful,” and confidently predicting that the Canadian truckers and clearing out the homeless encampments don’t change anything. Forget about the issues. “Aristocratic support is necessary for any successful rebellion.” And right now the aristocrats ain’t goin’ nowhere.

All perfectly true, Curtis. Until it isn’t.

Methinks, Mr Chantrill knows of what he writes.

“There’s the question of whether the upcoming midterms will be the biggest wipeout for the Democrats since 1938.”

However if we wait until November to vote the Republicans in, we lose. We need to start voting MAGA-Republicans in the primaries.

“Don’t underestimate The Republicans ability to f*ck things up”

However if “we wait until November to vote the Republicans in, we lose. We need to start voting MAGA-Republicans in the primaries.”

YES. The general elections are only for sustaining or elevating a/the party and the primaries are for building it. Ignore the primaries and you are not part of building the party.
