The collapse of the economy is going to gut that: 2024 won't be won by the Democrats.
I hadn't forseen the 17-month suspension-from-traiding put on Evergrande group, but that didn't prevent them from losing, oh, 2 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE of value, on the day they began trading again...
You simply can't remove the anti-financial-crisis-rules, as Trump did, without enabling financial-crisis-2, which is going to have Citadel simply disappear, instead of paying for the naked-shorting it's been doing...
Whatever: nobody believes that the current-conditions are real, so why bother trying to communicate that the progression-from-now-to-inevitable-consequences is real, right?
The Republicans win 2024, due to backlash, and then their "Red Caesar" dictatorship plan decapitates "democracy" from the US in early 2025, and then .. then the ocean-of-butchery begins.
This is, obviously, a testable prediction: simply wait & see.
I expect there to be about 260 million slaughtered in the 14 years beginning with 2025, in North America, not including those who die fighting in ww3, only including those who died in the internal war(s) & the natural-disasters of this accelerating ClimatePunctuation time.
Simply wait & see: science is made of testable predictions, and the tests that either falsify 'em or fail to falsify 'em.
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen.
