We live in a crisis time of unrest, and probably the regeneracy is occurring. People expect change, but the change people expect and hope for is reactionary. The problem for us in the USA who are liberals, is that the model of unrest for the USA is not like the French or English or Russian revolutions. It's more like Nazi Germany. People in the USA respond to economic stress by seeking to go backwards. Bullshit is the appropriate description of what Americans believe. Those in America who can still think are responding by pouring out into the streets. But the regeneracy appears to be the vast movement out in the breadbasket of deplorables who voted for Trump.

He says he will unify the country around him, but I don't see it happening. Unrest is going to grow from both sides. When Trump responds by putting the activists in jail or shooting them down, what violence will this spark? Are the people blocking the pipeline a foretaste of things to come? Do the anti-deplorables have enough firepower to fight back? I don't know. But I don't see any other way to describe this other than as a 4T. The weather is going to collapse, the economy will plunge, and the country will continue to split. Trump will cause crisis after crisis until the nation breaks down. Foreign troubles will engulf us as well. The collapse will be real, even if the culture war mindset remains on the red side.

How violent it will be remains to be seen. But the 4T is upon us, and the record of 4Ts, recurring on a regular cycle, is violent. It is clear that this is not a revolution against the real elites; it is a battle between the people and two different mindsets. It will be more than a crisis in the mind, though, because total collapse will be real and all around us. And the response by the people to it will be state violence directed against the liberals. And the liberal side will lash out against the state. I don't know if the blue side is ready for secession yet, but it's the only viable answer now. The coasts should separate from the flyover breadbasket of deplorables. But I don't know if we can defend ourselves, or how much of the state we can appropriate to do it.

The idiots like Galen who believe our problem is SJWs are in power now. What they do with it will surely be called a crisis. Without social justice, no civil society can survive.

This is why anti-Fascist forces in the US and other Western countries need to ditch all of the pacifist bullshit and get armed. The Fascists are heavily armed. The Fascists have infiltrated law enforcement and the military. Such entities may not protect unarmed anti-Fascists and may not protect our institutions. An insurgency may ultimately be required. Learn how to shoot, get armed. Do it soon. Before it's too late to start that process. Hide your guns. Do not end up like the Jews in Germany did.

Again, individuals arming will not work. It must be an organized resistance, with foreign help, and military weapons.
