Thread – Possible American Dystopias in 2021 1. Dystopia: …

2. I read an article the other day that predicted future dystopian possibilities in the US given all that we have seen and what has transpired in 2020. Talk about thought-provoking and frightening! Here are some excerpts.

3.

The general election of 2020 will be the stuff of argument and analysis for many years to come, here and abroad.

3A. Suffice to say here that a panicky over-reaction to the onset of the COVID-19 virus produced economic hardship and social disorder, compounded by months of riots, looting and arson afflicting hundreds of cities (almost all Democrat-governed) beginning in late May 2020.

3B. All of this set the stage for an election won overwhelmingly on November 3rd by President Donald Trump and lost by him in the following weeks to his Democrat opponent.

3C. Joseph Biden, as dumps of hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots appeared in dubious circumstances amidst widespread allegations of fraud and lawsuits challenging the outcome.

3D. The first of the four possible dystopias I envision is I’ll call the “cancel culture” dystopia, because that is what its dominant theme will be. It is also the one with the least overt violence: ….

3E. … Biden and Harris are inaugurated on January 20, 2021 (although how long Biden will be kept in place is very much an open question). Disgruntled Trump supporters grumble, but do no more, nor is there any reason to expect more from them.

3F. The second alternative is the “civil war” dystopia. In this scenario, after wks of Biden proclaiming and being proclaimed President-elect, the 2020 election is flipped and Trump is declared the winner – as in fact he was and should be, absent mountains of Democrat-run fraud.

3G. It does not matter how this comes to pass: a SCOTUS ruling discarding some or all mail-in ballots, state legislatures de-certifying pro-Biden electors and certifying pro-Trump electors giving Trump a majority in the Electoral College, ….

3H. … a vote in the House of Representatives certifying Trump as President and in the Senate certifying Pence as Vice President, whatever – no matter how it happens, Trump is in, Biden is out, and the Left will go absolutely berserk.

3I. The third and very grim prospect is the “endless civil war” dystopia – akin to an American internal variant of Europe’s gruesome Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648). This conflict never really ends on its own, although external intervention might eventually bring that about. ….

3J. [O]ne estimate is that in the Thirty Years’ War, one-third of the population of the German states died. I expect to at least match that in this dystopia.

3K. The fourth & final dystopia is a true “Orwellian world,” an unholy blend of 1984 & Animal Farm – and I apologize to the spirit of George Orwell if I unwittingly have taken him out of context. It is the same in most respects as the second dystopia, with one key difference: ….

3L. … the Marxist or neo-Marxist (however one thinks of it) Left wins the civil war, defeats Trump and his conservative supporters, and at least nominally brings a Democrat party to power – ….

3M. … minus Biden, of course, but he would be long gone in any case.

4. I’ve done a lot of thinking about the inaction of the Right so far while analyzing my own motivations to act, counter-protest, move to provoke the inevitable Civil Way that may or may not be coming.

5. The Act or Not Act that most of us continue to mull over. I always come up with the same analysis and no solution but to sit and wait. We will know when to act.

6. Conservatives by inclination are less likely to protest, go to marches, or take any action against the Status Quo. We are workers instead, and prefer to think that things will return to normal without bloodshed.

7. We are overwhelmingly 2A people. We mostly ‘carry’. And rightly or wrongly, we have the ‘carry’ mentality of NOT being the hero at the Mall Shooting, who pulls and gets shot by every cop who sees us.

7A. I.E., for now, we will only defend our turf and close relatives from imminent danger.

8. It’s also a silent majority thing. We keep waiting and watching for the Left’s next moves. No need to kill a bunch of Antifa/BLM folks only to be arrested and jailed.

9. Again: Let the fight come to us. We’ll know when to start shooting. And it will likely be a brief and bloody spasm when it comes.

10. When we look at the map, it’s Red Counties everywhere with only a seeming handful of Blue Counties, every one of them with Minority dependencies that are their biggest weaknesses. All is not lost. It just seems that way to us Constitutional Patriots.

11. Most Conservatives are likely Least Worried about the two Civil War scenarios (in the article) because the Left can be easily crushed in such still-unlikely Civil War scenarios.

12. Dystopian scenarios 1 and 4 of creeping slow political death by 1) cancel culture and 4) Orwell World are most troubling to us, because they are harder to counter.

13. I don’t see the political way ahead to overcome those two more likely scenarios – in which we already find ourselves.

13A. Status Quo - not working

13B. Reform the R Party: A third party will lead to Dem political victory for sure. Creating something to replace the current Republican party not an easy task. Here is what needs to be done in that regard:

14. Our dystopian future (or a much better one!) in in our hands, not the hands of the political class. We need to wake up and figure that out before it’s too late! ///The end.
