The end of this election is 2
days away, and what have we learned and what happens next, are two questions we
may ask ourselves given the turmoil and controversy we’ve had to endure during
the past year.
Let’s start with what we’ve learned. We’ve learned that our system is flawed in
ways we didn’t even realize, or weren’t willing to acknowledge until it was
shown to us on Facebook, through Wikileaks, and undercover videos taken by
Project Veritas. We’ve learned that
upper level government controls justice in ways we couldn’t imagine. We’ve learned that the people who we rely on
to provide us with news and not just spin is ineffective in doing their job and
is for sale. We’ve learned that hackers
and whistleblowers are the only ones that we can trust to give us “fair and
accurate” reporting of what goes on internally.
We’ve also learned that for the most part both of our political parties
are practically one and the same, and that which we call “the establishment” is
not only established it’s entrenched.
To prove this, we take a look at
this year’s election. The Democratic
Party was hijacked by Bernie Sanders, who is a socialist, and the Republican
Party was hijacked by Donald J. Trump, who is Nationalist/Populist. The effects were astounding, and caused a
shaking of the system. Immediately
things were done both by the Washington establishment, and the media which is
backed by the establishment to stop each of these men from moving forward. President Obama, and his wife went on the
campaign trail almost more than Hillary Clinton and Time Kaine, in order to
appeal to the black voters by throwing in the race card, and ultimately appeal
to women voters by throwing in the sexism card.
Two cards that carry a lot of weight and are used indiscriminately
during elections. This was after they
had managed to oust Bernie Sanders through underhanded means.
This election was an all-out war
of lies, sex and videotapes. When Mr.
Trump wasn’t saying some outlandish things himself, he was busy warding off
accusations of almost everything from colluding with foreign governments to
raping a 13 year-old girl. Social media
ran amok with mud-slinging. It was a bar
brawl of the lowest kind. There were
riots in the streets, people sent to interfere with the campaigning
process. And we heard all kinds of
accusations ending in “ism” from both sides.
On Tuesday, November 8, 2016, a
new President will have been elected, yet neither the Democratic Party nor the
Republican Party will ever be the same. If
Hillary Clinton wins it will be under a veil of suspicion and investigation, as
well as the very real possibility of a criminal indictment which would lead to
impeachment, and the great possibility of a Constitutional crisis. Even if she is not indicted, the dirt around
her and her team will remain, which she may not be able to continue to sweep
under the rug and laugh off. The Bernie
supporters who already feel betrayed will undoubtedly question Bernie Sanders’
judgment when he asked them to back Hillary Clinton. Her supporters will feel that they were let
down as well.
Republican party supporters will
be angry with the Republican Party for not backing Trump, the same way they had
backed all the prior candidates, and allowing this to happen. What is the probability that they will trust
those who are in power that they voted into office? I’d say slim.
If Donald J. Trump wins on
Tuesday, the Republican Party will still be fractured because they failed to
support the candidate, and sold out to Hillary Clinton. Clearly any vote or
support that wasn’t for Trump would only help her and the lack of proper
outward support only means that there is no support. The Democratic party will still be fractured
because of all the shenanigans. The
investigation of Hillary Clinton will continue to a possible indictment, and
anyone close to her that wants to continue to be in politics will jump ship as
some already have.
If Trump does anything that is
positive and noteworthy while in office, he will gain support, and probably
stay another four years because he will have proved himself capable. At that point, he could run under the “Gumby
Party” and still be elected into office because four years is not long enough
for the people to forget this catastrophe of an election. If nothing improves under a Trump Presidency,
then that is when scary things will happen.
With distrust in our two main parties and negative feelings about
anything having to do with the establishment who participated in the 2016
fiasco, the public will turn to anything that is different. Bernie garnered a lot of support, but he will
be too old, and nobody on the circuit would seem like a good choice. This would be the time where a true socialist
could be voted in. We all know that our
universities are places of indoctrination for the liberal agenda, and the
millennials will be a large voting block come next election.
Every four years we hear that
“this election is a defining moment for our country because it could be the end
of life as we know it”. Well, I think
it’s here. This election is the
precursor to the one we’ve all been warned about. The one that will be a true gamechanger. If you thought this one was crazy, hold on to
your hats next time around we are headed for the hairpin turn.
