Provacateurs stoking riots and vandalism. Maybe they are right wing and maybe left wing. Frustrated poor folks looting. Angry youth who like chaos. Noone knows for sure. Meanwhile our fake president uses the occasion to take control of DC, which has no other governor but him. He calls the military in from bases around the country, and takes control of local police, and attacks peaceful protesters and gases them so he can go pose in front of a church with a Bible.
This has got me thinking. 2020 could be more serious than I thought. It won't be over after this year, I am sure, but the "stars" certainly indicate a lot of trouble ahead in november through january. Very troubling indications we have long known about. Trump will likely lose the election now. The Keys are turning against him. He usually does not act rationally or give in gracefully. He is likely to declare a rigged election. It won't be, but that is irrelevant. He will still be commander in chief with a loyal defense department. He has threatened to use the military domestically today already, and used it to suppress democracy and the right of protest. So he would likely take over DC sometime after he loses the election. He can shut down the government thus suppressing all activities by the court and congress. It amounts to a coup.
Biden would have to recruit willing troops who recognize him as president of a government exiled from DC, and invade the capital and fight Trump's troops. Right wing militias would join trump's army. The civil war would be limited to DC if we are lucky and Biden wins. Otherwise trump could expand his control and the war could drag on. Remember, we have Mars conj.Uranus this January in square to Saturn, the same combo as in April 1861.
This is not the future that must be. But it is the future that could be. The people should prepare for this possiblity. Trump is not rational but he is powerful.
The George Floyd protests will be forgotten in a few weeks.
As to the election, that is assured to be a complete mess. If Trump loses, there is indeed a decent chance that he refuses to leave office. If Trump wins, the left will go completely insane.
The media in the U.S. are almost completely openly opposed to Trump, and have mostly given up on even pretending to be objective. If Trump wins, I think there's a good chance the media opposes him so utterly that at some point he attempts to shut them down.
Whichever side wins, all hell is going to break loose.
