As I mentioned previously, I thought that President Trump was probably consulting military leaders to see if he had any support to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Reading between the lines, it would appear that he has very little such support and would be isolated if he tried to take that step, as justified as it may be.

What we’ve learned then is that probably 90% of senior military and Washington politicians, and almost all of the courts, are willing to accept the results of the election either despite cheating or because they (mistakenly) think there was no significant cheating.

And what that means is we are facing a socialist dictatorship. What’s left of the Republican Party will turn into a sort of extension of the ruling one party state as a kind of faction within the politburo sort of a deal, and they will try to shed any mavericks or lone wolves who won’t go along with that approach. The courts will pretend none of this ever happened and will go back to activist lawfare, with people we thought were rock solid conservatives probably losing their edge like CJ Roberts has done. One or two may remain holdouts but they won’t prevail on important questions.

There may be limits to what this incoming regime could do before the military refused to play along. There will be testing of limits and boundaries in the next two to four years. The GOP will look for another patsy candidate like Romney (hey, why not just recycle the dude?) and will continue to ignore the base who will quickly flock to any new party or candidate promising what Trump promised.

Whether that’s Trump or somebody else, next time I suggest the base get everything in writing — this is what we want, this is what we expect, and it must include indictments of powerful corrupted politicians and their enablers.

I don’t blame Trump, but I think his approach was just to overcome all this by superior governance that anyone could see was better, and it would wither away without the need for justice to prevail. That clearly isn’t going to be the way this ends. Those who have lived off the avails of corrupt practices must pay the price if the Republic is to be restored to any sort of credible stature. There can no longer be a system of one set of rules for ordinary folks and a different set of rules for elites.

The only way to get to that, in my view, is for 120 million voters to support it at the earliest opportunity. It needs to become too big to fail, too big to sabotage through fraud. There has to be a widespread sense that this is the public will, to hold politicians and other elites accountable.

Since that is in some ways just as much a “left” as a “right” principle, it should be possible. Trump may still be the guy to pull this off, or possibly his son, but all should be on the lookout for any other suitable leadership candidate(s), try to outwit the socialists as much as possible 2021-24 and hit them hard with this alternative in 2024. The one thing that would be going right in these next four years would be that widespread corruption should be fairly evident to many people and should drive more into the camp of the saints, so to speak.
