There goes that media again Beetle. Claiming that Trump farted around 52 minutes into his discussion with the Georgia election official about 11,000 votes. Trump was polite however and excused himself. Damn sensationalism

In all those eight months––220 days, over 5,000 hours––what was the reaction of Democrats, both elected and civilian?
Pearl-Clutchers on Parade
By Joan Swirsky | January 9, 2021

Time to get out the ledger.

On the left––literally––we have had nearly eight months of rampaging criminality and violence in the many Democrat-controlled cities in our country, all conducted by thugs belonging to groups called Black Lives Matter and Antifa. This is the short list of what they have done:

* Committed widespread arson, including burning down hundreds of minority-owned businesses in the Latino, Asian and black communities (the black owners clearly didn’t matter);
* Incinerated cars and burned down buildings, court houses, police stations, et al;
* Shot laser beams in the eyes of policemen;
* Assaulted civilians, resulting in 30 deaths and thousands of hospitalizations;
* Smashed plate-glass windows of numerous businesses, both large and small and then engaged in looting, stealing and grand theft;
* Terrorized and then dragged people out of restaurants;
* Tore down historic statues, including those of black icons (duh);
* Defaced streets and avenues with BLM’s block-long, block-lettered, yellow-painted name.
* Terrorized the citizenry of entire neighborhoods and towns for months on end;
* Attacked people in locked cars;

In all those eight months––220 days, over 5,000 hours––what was the reaction of Democrats, both elected and civilian?

A thunderous silence. Not a word of opprobrium or disapproval or condemnation. Not. One. Word.

WHY?



Because, as the esteemed Daniel Greenfield points out, Democrats heartily approve of violent acting-out riots ––as long as they support Democrat ideology! In 2018, he reminds us, there were “glowing stories” about the hundreds of Women’s March members who were engaging in “direct action” to disrupt the Senate’s Kavanaugh hearings. They blocked hallways, shouted down Senate members, and draped protest banners from balconies. Democrats cheered them on.

“In 2020,” Greenfield continues. “Black Lives Matter rioters vandalized the Lincoln Memorial and the WW2 Memorial, along with statues of Gandhi, General Kosciuszko, and Andrew Jackson. And Democrat House members proposed bills to protect the racist mobs from law enforcement.

“Meanwhile the BLM mob besieged the White House and battled Secret Service personnel, allegedly forcing the evacuation of President Trump and his family to a bunker. And a bail fund backed by Senator Kamala Harris and the Biden campaign staffers focused on helping the rioters and looters get out of prison.

“Now, as the Democrats expect to take power,” Greenfield writes, “they suddenly decided that rioting is bad.”

And let’s not forget that it was only last summer that Kalamity Harris encouraged her supporters to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund to provide bail money to the militant anarchists facing charges for setting fire to Minneapolis.

But don’t tell these things to Democrats who observed 55,000 hours of BLM and Antifa destruction with nary a critical word but watched the 4-5 hour incursion into the U.S. Congress on January 6th and could only wring their hands, clutch their pearls, gasp in horror and exclaim: the building, the building, the history, the sanctity, the inviolability!



BACK TO THE LEDGER

On the right––literally––you have a president who has been conducting dozens of rallies over the past four years with jaw-dropping attendance. The “Stop the Steal” rally on January 6th was estimated to have about 150,000 attendees––with no untoward incident, upheaval, or arrest until the Capitol was breached. Back to this later.

Before this rally, the president chalked up accomplishments that made America safer, stronger, and richer. But because he repudiated both the paltry achievements and political philosophies of all his predecessors and the corrupt shills they left behind in the swamps of D.C., and because he had access to their indictable criminality, he became the biggest threat to the political establishment that ever existed. That said, President Trump:

* Lowered taxes (which Democrats hate and never vote for);
* Boosted the economy to all-time highs (which Democrats hate, which is why they vote for socialists);
* Elevated black employment to an all-time high (which Democrats really hate, the reason why blacks have never risen during Democrat rule);
* Strengthened our military (which Democrats hate since they loathe the military);
* Signed the first law ever to make cruelty to animals a federal felony;
* Signed Right-To-Try legislation allowing terminally ill patients to try experimental treatment that wasn’t allowed before.
* Signed the First-Step Act prison-reform bill that frees mostly black prisoners from unfair sentences.
* Supported and strengthened Israel by moving her capital to Jerusalem, giving Israel control over the Golan Heights, establishing peace treaties with the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Morocco, Bahrain and several to follow (which will never happen under Biden since his first priority is resurrecting the genocidal-to-Israel Iran deal––which Pres. Trump canceled––which the mullahs have oft-stated is necessary for them to fulfill their Number One goal––to eradicate Israel forever! Yet Democrats, including Jewish Democrats, support a candidate who wants to revive this deal, partly because their poor hearts bleed for the people who call themselves Palestinians….you know, the people who routinely strap suicide bombs on three-year-old toddlers and celebrate the death of Jews with streets named after the murderers and lifelong pensions).
* Supported the pro-life movement, which the Democrats hate more than anything, given their devotion to abortions. In NY, the entire Democrat legislature stood and applauded when they allowed abortion up to the moment of birth! Not to be outdone by the Democrat Governor of VA, Ralph Northam, M.D., who signed a law that allows infanticide after the baby is born! Here are some of President Trump’s other staggering achievements for the American people.

SO WHAT WAS THIS COUP ALL ABOUT?

On November 3, 2020, the presidential election was held. Routinely, polls close at about 7 or 8 p.m., the votes are tallied electronically, and the Democrat operatives who pose as TV reporters start calling states as early as 9 or 10 p.m., with the final result usually not known until noon or so the next day.

On November 3rd, the entire world––which follows American elections assiduously––witnessed something unprecedented in the history of American voting. Just as President Trump was winning a huge number of states––and electoral votes––and appeared to be winning most or all of the six battleground states by a landslide, the tallying stopped abruptly. And it didn’t start again. Not for an hour. Not for two hours. Not for three hours. After three hours it did start again, and the whole world saw actual MAGIC befitting David Blaine, even Harry Houdini!

All of sudden, Joe Biden magically gained hundreds of thousands of votes, ultimately enough to win the election. This in spite of a Mt. Everest of reports of massive voter fraud into the multimillions, including (this is the short list):

* Rigged Dominion voting machines;
* Italian, German and Chinese interference;
* An entire census worth of dead voters;
* Formidable professionals advocating for investigations and legal adjudication;
* Accepting ballots past 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.

All were strangely rejected by American courts––the same courts that believe traffic violations deserve their attention––but apparently not presidential voter fraud! Umm…does anyone else smell the rat I do?

As a final tribute to the outgoing president, a huge throng traveled to Washington, D.C. the other day to hear him speak and cheer him on. His entire speech was a rehash of the voting fiasco and an exhortation to protest peacefully the choosing of electors––and not the fomenting of violence that the corrupt media drones on about. Read the speech here.

Then, as if choreographed by George Ballanchine, a group of rally attendees marched across the street to the U.S. Congress to try to delay Congressional certification of the Electoral College vote. Who were they?

According to unassailable reporter Paul Sperry, a former FBI agent on the ground in Washington D.C “texted me and confirmed that at least 1 ‘bus load’ of Antifa thugs infiltrated peaceful Trump demonstrators as part of a false flag ops.” Mmmmmm.

To compound this allegation, we then see that the Capitol policemen actually opened the doors to the protestors and invited them inside. Who authorized this? You can watch the whole thing here.

Of course, the Democrats and their acolytes who have been hounding the president for five years, besieging him with false accusations, dragging the entire country through their “show trial” hoaxes (of Russian collusion, Ukraine, Stormy Daniels, Impeachment, et al), topped off this false-flag operation with demands that he resign immediately. And in the predictable behavior of all fascists, the social media outlets run by the globalists among us––Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Shopify, Snapchat, on and on––cut off his ability to communicate with the American people. Starting to smell the same rat?

Yet life goes on. President Trump will leave office as a man of monumental accomplishments and tremendous esteem from more than the 75-million people who voted for him. If he starts a third political party, there is no counting the numbers of conservatives, moderates, blacks, Hispanics and women who will jump eagerly on board. If he starts a media company, Americans will have their first taste in years of genuinely unbiased news. And if he and Melania––who served America so gracefully and effectively these past four years––decide to go back to their old life, every one of their admirers will wish them only abundant health and great happiness.

Americans, unfortunately, will have to endure an Obama-redux regime. But America is strong and we will weather this debacle as we did the two failed terms of Obama, all the time hoping for the appearance of another peerless populist president like Donald J. Trump.

In the quote you posted, he's kind of showing humility that somehow he doesn't deserve or want an award for something that already rewards him intrinsically. I wonder, though, if he would have accepted the award from a less stable genius president.

By James Fell:

The Case for Taserballs

You know him as the guy who took part in storming the Capitol Building and (allegedly) accidentally tased himself in the balls, had a heart attack, and died. I’m not making a case for his behavior, nor for believing he actually tased himself (he did die of a heart attack though). I’m making a case that it’s okay to enjoy the STORY that he tased himself in the balls and relish in the POSSIBILITY that is what caused the heart attack that killed him. I’m making a case that it’s okay to refer to him as “Taserballs” for all eternity.

His named was Kevin Greeson, he was 55 and was at high risk for cardiovascular death. Someone, I don’t know who, began the aforementioned rumor. It remains unsubstantiated. Snopes says it is false, but most of that relies on Taserballs’s wife saying she was on the phone with Taserballs and he was just really excited about the idea of destroying American democracy, and he died. A New York Times reporter corroborated that Greeson “fell to the sidewalk” as he was on the phone while standing “among a sea of Trump supporters.” His wife says Taserballs wasn’t armed, either with guns or a taser, but it remains within the realm of possibility that he did jostle a taser in his pocket, electricocksuckered himself, and his heart said ouch quit it and noped out.
Alas, extraordinary claims requiring extraordinary evidence and all that.

We don’t have any photos or videos of the taser or him doing the funky chicken while tasering his balls and falling to the pavement and saying “Ah, my balls!” or anything like that. And so, while I think Snopes is a little overzealous in proclaiming that it is FALSE, it is certainly “Unconfirmed.”
But we didn’t believe it anyway.

Many Trumpanzees believe their Jaundiced Jesus won the election and that there was massive voter fraud despite there being even less evidence than a guy tasing his balls to death. They believe it, they embrace it, they froth over it, they die for it, they commit murder over it, they try to overthrow the government because of it.
We don’t actually believe Taserballs tased his balls, because there is no evidence. They believe Trump won the election, despite there being no evidence.
As a group, Trumpanzees having been terrorizing us for half a decade, and Greeson epitomized the worst of them. Despite his wife saying he wasn’t armed, he loved to pose for pictures with his guns. More damning is what he wrote on Parler. I’m going to have to star some shit out here just to be safe, so use your imagination: “Let’s take this fucking country B**K! Load your g**s and take to the streets!” and “Let’s give them a W**!” and “Im bringingMY G**S!” He also wrote “Hell yes … Pr**d Boys!!!!” and “Maybe Nancy Pelosi will get it and d**!”

In short, Taserballs was a piece of shit—the worst kind of piece of shit terrorizing America for years—and deserves to be known as Taserballs forever.
Joking about these brainless troglodyte fuckpuddles for being a bunch of brainless troglodyte fuckpuddles doesn’t diminish the seriousness of needing to oppose them. We know damn well their stupidity is dangerous and infectious. Americans showed up en masse to vote the Mango Menace out and to take back the senate via Georgia. We know not to lower our guard with them, which is more than can be said about the recently resigned head of the Capitol Police.
These fucknuts are responsible for a lot of death, a lot of anxiety, and a lot of self-medication; I am fine with saying one of them tased his nuts, despite there being a lack of evidence to support such a claim. Yeah, we know it’s probably not true, but we deserve some comic relief at their expense.
“But someone died!”

A lot of people died. A cop was brutally murdered by the insurrectionists and another cop took his own life because of what transpired that day, and Trump said to those responsible: “We love you.” And don’t get me started on how many died from Covid due to Trump’s utter incompetence.
Taserballs is dead, but the name of Taserballs should live on in infamy forever.

I wonder how much responsibility the democrat party is going to take for the thousands of hours of rioting, killing and looting at the hands of militant leftist thugs?

Especially since, you know, kamala harris praised them, bailed them out and encouraged them to not stop publically. Democrat mayor's and governors allowed them to burn courthouses, police stations and businesses, all the while demanding the national guard stay away.

I wonder if anybody will ever even ask them?

[tarmyg]

DD he's only "not" taking it due to fear of being associated with the president and then shut down by big tech. We all should be afraid.

I find it more likely that he is not taking it due to the President trying to change an election result with violence which is completely reprehensible and hopefully will get him charged with sedition. This is a quote from The Patriots, "Subsequently, the tragic events of last week occurred and the decision has been made not to move forward with the award.
"Above all, I am an American citizen with great reverence for our nation's values, freedom, and democracy." REF: NFL.COM

I agree that Democrats did a bad job of condoning the riots.
Fuck, they got their asses handed to them in the Congressional elections because of it.
I personally have said I agree with the President and we should "lock them up".

Republican cities also had riots.

Kamala did not praise and encourage rioters.

Harris’ comments on The Late Show expressing support for protests are authentic. However, there is no mention of riots or violent protests in this interview. Harris has previously condemned violent protests.

"Change an election result with violence"

What the hell were the antics BLM riots all about if not trying to change an election?

Mainly police reform and equal rights.

The riots were wrong.
The protests were justified.

Even if they were protesting to influence the election that is not breaking the law.
People run ads . People debate. Influencing a future election is legal.

Overturning an the results of an election that already occurred is illegal.

If you watch the video of the Late Night Clip you see that she says protestors not rioters.

If you watch the right wing propaganda edited clip they take out where she says protestors.

[Beetlegeuse]

Cops, Kids, Reporters & Activists Were Murdered As Democrats Incited 2020 Riots… Now They’ve Accused Trump of Their Tactics.

The same media and Hollywood collective that derided American police in 2020 is now flooding the airwaves with their crocodile tears about the police who were on the front lines against trouble-making demonstrators at the nation’s Capitol on Wednesday.

News networks sickly dedicated just a few seconds to the death of black police officer David Dorn, murdered at the hands of Black Lives Matter looters in June 2020.

Back then Joe Biden was despite attacking President Trump and his supporters for Wednesday’s violence at the Capitol.

There’s certainly enough blame in America to go around. But to be proportionate, let’s analyze some things very clearly.

On Whose Hands?

Even one dead is too many, especially during what are supposed to be peaceful protests. Everyone responsible for murder should be held to account. But that’s not what happened in 2020, while Democratic Party politicians encouraged their supporters to continue their violent protests while the media called them “mostly peaceful.”

It’s actually scarily easy to find video evidence of Democrats refusing to condemn domestic terrorism such as the armed, Tacoma immigration facility attacker who also clearly incited to violence by open borders advocates and politicians.



It’s also incredibly easy to find video evidence of Democrats egging on violent Black Lives Matter/AntiFa protesters in 2020, and even how long-standing a campaign of incitement this was, stretching back to 2015.

Back then, Black LIES Matter became “an official part of the Democratic Party” Mother Jones:

“In August, the DNC passed a resolution declaring its support for the movement.”

By July of the next year, five police officers were murdered with a further seven injured by a Black Lives Matter-inspired domestic terrorist in Dallas.

Perpetrator Micah Xavier Johnson told police he was upset by recent police shootings and “wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.” He added, per the New York Times, that “he was upset about Black Lives Matter.”

Johnson’s motivations were explicit, and his inciters are obvious.

But the media now wants to claim that despite telling protesters to be peaceful and go home – even before the aggression at the U.S. Capitol – that Donald Trump is to blame for mobs smashing windows, and the eventual death of an officer.

25 Dead in 2020.

Democrats have incited Black Lives Matter and AntiFa for years. The former Deputy Chairman of the Democratic Party itself – Keith Ellison – was roundly condemned for taking a selfie with a “handbook” for the violent, leftist AntiFa group.

In fact, BLM even and the top source of income for the Biden for President campaign in 2020.



This – for unfamiliar audiences – would be broadly like QAnon using WinRed, the Republican platform, to fundraise for its activities. Except unlike BLM, QAnon supporters – however fantastical in their beliefs – have not been responsible for nearly as much violence at BLM has.

In 2020 alone, Black Lives Matter and affiliated protests have had to claim responsibility for the deaths of more than two dozen Americans – and that’s according to the far-left Guardian newspaper.

The deceased include:

Lee Keltner, a conservative murdered by a media organization’s security guard;
Press photographer Tyler Gerth, murdered by a left-wing protester;
Jorge Gomez, an armed, left-wing protester running towards police with his gun up;
Barry Perkins, who died when a FedEx truck began moving as BLM tried to loot it;
Summer Taylor, a BLM protester who was hit while protesting on a freeway;
David Dorn, the black police officer murdered by BLM looters for trying to stop them;
The charred corpse of a man discovered two months after BLM protests burned a store down;
8-year-old Secoriea Turner, murdered by a BLM protester;
Horace Anderson, a CHAZ/CHOP demonstrator killed by another CHAZ/CHOP-dweller;
Victor Cazares Jr, murdered by BLM for defending his store;

There are, of course, more.

And there were, of course, an even higher number of non-fatal shootings, stabbings, batterings, etc, including the L.A. police officers who were ambushed and shot in the head by a pro-BLM activist; and the Louisville cops shot by an anti-police “protester.”

Following on from loss of life and attempted attacks on people’s lives comes the damage done to livelihoods during the 2020 riots.


BLM Rioters held up signs instructing violence on police.

In Minneapolis alone, estimates of damage caused reached a half a billion dollars, and insurance firms calling the nationwide riots and looting the most expensive in American political history. Around two billion dollars is believed to be owed.

Incitement.

The latest articles of impeachment being passed around alongside a set of media talking points indicate that Democrats intend to try to charge President Trump with “incitement.”

By claiming the election was fraudulent – which around 40 per cent of the American public believe – they say Trump “willfully incit[ed] violence against the Government of the United States.”

The problem is while that is demonstrably untrue given the President’s statements, what is true is that Democrats egged on violent rioters in 2020: leading to the deaths of dozens, and a $2bn bill for America.

Trump told his crowd on Wednesday to “walk down to the capital and… cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women,” even adding: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Non-YouTube video of Trump viewable on source website but not 'link-able' here

Democrats, however, did something quite the opposite:

Rep Pressley said in August: “There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there’s unrest in our lives.”;
In June, decried looting but added, of the protests: “They’re not going to let up, and they should not.”;
In 2018 Maxine Waters urged leftists ;
In the same year Nancy Pelosi urged “uprisings all over the country.”
Bernie Sanders his “congratulations” for the protests and;
Black Lives Matter activists were participants of the Democratic National Convention.

Projection.

In reality, as per the Russia collision hoax and the Ukraine-impeachment hoax, Democrats are again projecting.

It has, in fact, been the Democratic Party of America that has fanned the flames of political extremism over the past half decade.

While there can be no excusing the violence from a small fringe of attendees on Wednesday, every large conservative voice and representative has denounced it. The same cannot be said for the Black Lives Matter-inspired, or AntiFa-caused violence in America.

In truth, it should be Democrats having their social media profiles shuttered, their politicians impeached, and their livelihoods affected as a result of their political extremism.

But Joe Biden was the largest beneficiary of corporate America’s donations, and thusly it follows that such companies would only seek to prosecute one political side.

If you want to further understand their motivations, and what corporate America has to gain by cosying up to one of the most corrupt and Chinese Communist Party-friendly politicians in America… we suggest you start here.

At the same time, Representative Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader and one of Mr. Trump’s most steadfast allies in Congress, has asked other Republicans whether he ought to call on Mr. Trump to resign in the aftermath of last week’s riot at the Capitol, according to three Republican officials briefed on the conversations.

Interesting quote for the times and the purpose of this thread . . . .

[Beetlegeuse]

Several Marxist propagan ... sorry, I meant mainstream news sources ... are reporting that the FBI received warnings three days before the January 6 disturbance that elements already were both planning and equipping to turn the protest violent.

Which proves that the charge that Trump was impeached for -- to wit, willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — lawless action at the Capito -- WAS A COMPLETE LIE.

But if you have any functioning brain cells (plural), you already knew that, didn't you?

There already had been plans afoot for some days to turn the protest messy. Unless the demoncrats think Trump got in his time machine and went back in time three days to foment violence, he didn't have sweet fuck-all to do with it.

But the demoncrats knew it, too, despite not meeting the 2-brain-cell-minimum requirement.

Well, it’s official. We’re finally getting a cure for cancer. Joe Biden is now officially POTUS.

So how's that demoncrat-controlled utopia working out for ya?



It also bears mention that the mayor of EVERY LAST CITY on this list ran for office on Bloomberg money.

Would just like to point out a fact you probably didn't realize.

The majority of cities are democratically run.
And...
This is a hand picked list of solely Democratic cities.

So pull up a list of the largest cities by political party and peruse it.

And what you will see is that if you check the murder rate in the Republican cities then guess what?!?!?
Their murder rate also went up. (I see you Fort Worth and Jacksonville...)
So just because some fuck tard named Jeff Asher put together a selective list of only Democratic cities doesn't prove shit.

So now ask yourself...
If you are capable of self thought...

If murder rates went up in both Democratic and Republican cities...
How the fuck can you blame the Democrats?



Please try to use logic when evaluating propaganda.

If logic makes your head hurt then try some Aleve.

Trump's Potential Legacy:
50 Million+ Enemies of the State

Trump's Potential Legacy: 50 Million+ Enemies of the State

6 hours ago | Tho Bishop

Well, they finally got Donald Trump. But he sure scared the bejesus out of them. It took a massive five-year campaign of hysteria, of fear and hate, orchestrated by all wings of the Ruling Elite, from the respectable right to the activist left. The irony, of course, is that the last actions of Trump’s presidency highlighted how little of a threat he, as an individual, truly was to the deep corruption in America’s government. Lil Wayne may be free, but figures like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and Ross Ulbricht are not. The Fed’s big fat bubble has only gotten larger as Wall Street has thrived, while American workers continue to be "discriminated against."

If historians look back at simply the Trump administration’s policy legacy, the controversial nature of his tenure may confuse. A record of tax cuts, deregulation, runaway spending, an Israeli-Saudi-focused Middle East policy, criminal justice reform, and stacking the federal court with conservative judges on paper seems firmly aligned with the Republican Party of the modern era. Compromises on gun issues, the inability to replace Obamacare—or even reject its core tenets. His calls for larger stimulus relief would perhaps lead some to believe that he was relatively moderate in the current environment.

Looking back, Trump’s most radical act of governance may be his simple embrace of federalism in the face of the coronavirus. Whether this stemmed from a genuine belief in the limits of practical federal power or a desire to have the flexibility to blame governors if a state’s response became unpopular, the administration’s willingness to allow states to take the leading role in devising a policy response allowed for one of the greatest illustrations of the importance of political centralization in recent American history. Trump allowed Florida to be Florida and New York to be New York. The ability to compare state performance has been essential at a time when "medical experts" were being weaponized in support of covid tyranny.

All of this, however, would miss the true significance of the last four years. Trump’s legacy will be that of a political leader who, at a time when American politics was still adjusting to social media and user-created content, leaned into the polarization of American politics rather than pay lip service to "national unity." A critic would claim this comes from Trump’s unquenchable need to have his ego stoked. A supporter would see a man who understood the need to realign American politics—but the underlying motivations are irrelevant.

Trump’s impact on American politics may result in an even greater impact on the US government than his collaboration with Mitch McConnell on the judiciary.

A variety of polling indicates that as Donald Trump boarded Marine One to retreat to Mar-a-Lago, he does so with most of his voters believing he is the rightful president of the United States. One poll showed almost 80 percent of Republicans "do not trust the results of the 2020 presidential election." If we estimate that 75 percent of all of Trump’s 2020 voters hold this view, that leaves us with over 50 million Americans who believe they now live under an illegitimate federal government.

This reality terrifies Washington’s political class more than anything Donald Trump could have done while occupying the White House.

As Murray Rothbard illustrated in Anatomy of the State, "What the State fears above all, of course, is any fundamental threat to its own power and its own existence." A vital part of the state’s existence is its ability to justify its action with a mantle of "legitimacy"—which in an age of democracy comes from the notion of the "consent of the governed."

The result of 50+ million Americans viewing the next president as a fraud imposed on the people is an inauguration taking place in a Washington, DC, that resembles a warzone, surrounded by soldiers whom the regime does not trust with their own ammo.

The downside of America’s regime acting from a place of fear is that it is likely to ruthlessly lash out like most violent predators tend to do. Since the actions at the Capitol on January 6, the corporate press has elevated a collection of "terrorism experts" who have explicitly called for the tools formed in the war on terror to be turned inward to deal with the growing Trump "insurrectionist threat."

As Glenn Greenwald notes, "No speculation is needed. Those who wield power are demanding it."

The upside is that the tremendous growth of federal powers has always been dependent upon the public’s understanding that such power was being wielded in their own defense. Therefore, democracy has, rather than being a public check against tyranny, more often been a way of peacefully empowering officials to get away with abuses that autocrats could only manage with explicit violence.

To quote Rothbard:

As Bertrand de Jouvenel has sagely pointed out, through the centuries men have formed concepts designed to check and limit the exercise of State rule; and, one after another, the State, using its intellectual allies, has been able to transform these concepts into intellectual rubber stamps of legitimacy and virtue to attach to its decrees and actions. Originally, in Western Europe, the concept of divine sovereignty held that the kings may rule only according to divine law; the kings turned the concept into a rubber stamp of divine approval for any of the kings’ actions. The concept of parliamentary democracy began as a popular check upon absolute monarchical rule; it ended with parliament being the essential part of the State and its every act totally sovereign.

As such, even if aggressive actions by the Biden administration to address the specter of a Trump-inspired insurrection have the explicit support of nominally Republican leaders such as Mitch McConnell or Kevin McCarthy, how would such action be seen by MAGA America? If forced to choose, would someone like Governor Ron DeSantis align himself with a "bipartisan" effort from Washington elites or choose to be a leader of Biden-era resistance? Even if the resistance to a Biden administration is not ideologically libertarian or fundamentally "antistate," an explicit rejection of federal domination would be a vital first step toward the sort of political decentralization and self-governance that any peaceful political order ultimately requires.

Of course, all of this assumes that Trump’s base remains loyal—or at least remains hostile to the new regime. If Biden governs the same way he campaigned, by largely staying out of sight and avoiding making any bold statements and commitments one way or another, perhaps the public can be once again pacified and partisan divisions reduced to largely superficial differences, as has been the case for much of the current era.

If, however, the Biden administration governs more like the corporate press and blue Twitter wants him to—waging war on gender roles, prioritizing transgender issues, pushing for job-killing economic policy during a pandemic, acting unilaterally on immigration, penalizing gun owners, "reeducating" Trump supporters, treating MAGA like Al Qaeda, etc.—then the divides between Trump’s America and Biden’s America could become only further entrenched. And that is not even factoring in what happens if America experiences the hardship of an economic crisis.

Trump’s legacy will not be shaped by his actions—or even by how his enemies portray him. Ultimately, it comes down to his base and the movement he inspired. As Lew Rockwell noted in a recent interview with Buck Johnson, "The Jeffersonians were much better than Jefferson. The Taftians were much better than Robert Taft. The Trumpians tend to be much better than Trump."

Should skepticism of the 2020 election, fueled by a new administration's actions, finally convince 50+ million Trump supporters that the barbarians in the Beltway do not represent them and to react accordingly, then Trump’s presidency will be—despite his own actions—the disruption that America’s elites truly feared.

Trump's Potential Legacy:
50 Million+ Enemies of the State

Trump's Real Legacy:

He's a fucking liar.

1-62 in the courts.

2 Impeachments.

Built 25% of the promised wall. Took money from the Military to pay for it. (I thought he promised to make Mexico pay for it...)

And lest we forget...
He pardoned the man, Steve Bannon, who stole money directly from his most ardent supporters.
