Opinion - Trump’s revolution will end badly — for himself, and for America

signalmankenneth said:
According to Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” The law relates to physics but has relevance for politics. President Trump and his minions would do well to heed it.

As the first few weeks of the Trump administration’s actions have clearly shown, the president’s agenda is revolutionary, hoping to bring about rapid, comprehensive and fundamental change to American life. If past revolutions from above are any guide to the future of Trump’s endeavor, his revolution will not only fail to achieve its goals, but also generate its opponents and gravediggers.

Trump’s revolution will fail because rapid, comprehensive and fundamental change is too complex, with too many imponderables and unknowns to succeed. Unintended consequences will appear, problems will arise and sooner or later the whole project will come to a standstill. Except of course that it will have ruined the lives of millions of people — usually those with the least to lose.

The affected elites and masses, which will comprise everyone besides Trump’s fanatical supporters, will likely take to the streets and demonstrate that “people power” can be an effective tool of resistance to revolutionary elites with inhuman agendas. The administration would respond with threats and violence, but, unless it’s willing to engage in mass terror in the style of the French Revolution, the coercion would only harden the resolve of the protestors. The mass marches would continue.

But a certain segment of the opponents would draw a different lesson from the government crackdown. Like the Weather Underground, the Black Panthers and Young Lords in the U.S., and like the Red Army Faction in Germany and the Red Brigades in Italy, they may conclude that violence must be countered with violence.

Expect bank robberies and assassinations, campuses in turmoil. The National Guard would be mobilized. But the key line of defense, the FBI, would likely be too disorganized and too demoralized to track down the terrorists.

Then things could get worse. With the FBI and CIA in disarray, and with a Putin sympathizer whom no European service will trust in charge of national intelligence, the U.S. will be an easy target for foreign terrorists delighted by FBI Director Kash Patel’s and Elon Musk’s pell-mell destruction of American security institutions. A repetition of 9/11 is no longer unthinkable.

Both responses to Trump’s revolution — national protests and domestic and foreign terrorism — would delegitimize the president and his regime for a simple reason: Having assumed charge of all of America, Trump will be held responsible for everything that goes right and everything that goes wrong. And far more will go wrong than right.

At that point, with chaos and disorder spreading throughout America, Trump could either up the ante and employ mass violence, or have to step down, probably as a result of a palace coup led by an opportunist such as Vice President JD Vance. Mass violence would not save the regime, as it would only generate an equal and opposite reaction. A palace coup could rid the country of an illegitimate leader and usher in a transition to moderation and democracy — call it a Thermidor — that Vance would be unlikely to survive politically.

There will be chaos, but America will have the opportunity to save itself from the revolutionaries and terrorists.

You slap up some click-bait trash written by AI, too lazy to even fake human bullshit. How do I know? I won’t spill, but there's a dead giveaway.

Who cares how media hacks milk you suckers. It’s a riot watching you fall for it every damn time. This story’s catnip for drones desperate for a painkiller hit, as always. Don’t you ever tire of being wrong, you broken record? When’s the last time you libtards nailed anything, find me a left-wing writer or AI that’s been right about something in the last year or two.

Here’s my prediction, straight from me, not some AI or article, short and sweet for your tiny brain. Trump and his crew will unleash a Golden Age: fatter paychecks, cheaper living, safer streets, lower taxes, a badass defense, and every group you pity-party libtards claim needs your racist handouts will thrive better than under Biden’s dumpster fire. That’s just the start.

I know that all those good things for Americans will be bad news for dumbasses that seem to hate our Country, you'll all have to live with it. LOL

No, apparently you don't pay attention very much. I don't really expect much from a racist drone, but I've been spelling it out for months, dumbass.

Your head is so firmly up your ass all you ever do is make the dumbest of dumbass comments. You're both dumb and dumber plus a racist to boot so you really should drop to your knees and beg for forgiveness and a spec of common sense, it's your best move. Thank me later.

Lefty Loosey says "I'm such a dumbass, my libtard drone Hive Masters told me if I say I'm for social justice I can be a racist and no one will know." LOL The radical left-wing form of social justice you bought into is just one of your beliefs that makes you a racist, dumbass. You're hopeless.

I can't go on with such a dumbass, it actually hurts to read your stupidity. How about this instead. If you have the courage, watch the videos I paste here. This isn't what I used to come to my conclusions, that came from common sense many years ago. I'm not special because I could see the obvious, every other non-libtard here likely came to the same conclusion through commonsense year ago, as well.

However, for you, the one that melanin levels are the first thing you focus on, it might help, MIGHT. The problem is, you are just like all drones with the one slight difference, you're one of the lowest IQ morons in the hive, so, who knows if anything can or will EVER get through.

I encourage any of you left-wingers to watch this and the following video, they will challenge your views so if you need, sit down and get somewhere safe.

That's your opinion.

Criticisms against Biden and Clinton have been done to death. It needs to be put to rest.

No, it doesn't, that's absurd, if you followed your own advice the last 4 years of constant "trumptrumptrump" would never have happened. You do not get to wipe their records from history when you are embarrassed by them just as you would not let "trumppers" dismiss Trump's most embarrassing moments.
 
Vietnam was a bad war and thise who wanted to serve went quickly. The rest hoped that the draft would miss them. In the beginning, it was easy to get a deferment.
1Y was passed out easily. After a while, the 1Ys were reviewed. There isn't anyone who did not know if you were rich or connected you did not have to go. It has always been that way. Trump's dad bought his way out of serving.

I am saying all three likely dodged the draft. Two chose to use medical issues (common and maybe or maybe not actually true conditions). Clinton actively dodged the draft by signing up for ROTC to get a deferment then quitting once he had it.

On the whole, about one in three people drafted are deemed unsuitable for military service and rejected. That's been true since at least the Spanish-American war. Since WW 1, the highest rejection rates are about 50% and come from draftees who live in large urban areas or the deep South. The top three reasons for rejection are (in no particular order) medical issues, mental incompetence, and having a criminal record.

Thanks for admitting you voted twice for a draft-dodger to be President, Terry. I never have. Same goes for never voting for an oath-breaking traitor to be President.

All true. Which is why the percentage of African-Americans in Vietnam was higher than the national average.

What wasn't mentioned was that it was a war started and propagated by a Democratic President. <--- just to keep the conversation going. LOL

You voted for Biden twice, so right back at ya. Did you vote for Bill Clinton? He was a draft dodger of the worst sort.

Wrong again, Terry, but since your mind has clearly deteriorated over the past two years, I forgive you.

I voted straight Republican up through Romney except for Perot '92. I've voted straight Libertarian tickets ever since. The fact you see everyone left of White Nationalism as a Leftie is interesting to me since you weren't like this a few years ago. IMO, the cause is a deterioration of your mind and your life. I've seen it before.

Vote Libertarian? And you call me crazy?

:rolleyes:
 
It's really weird that people are cheering what's happening.

I get the idea of the gov't being bloated, and cuts being needed. But everything has been so rushed & careless - and it's all performative. The dent they've made in the budget is miniscule, and the impact of some cuts will be significant.

It feels like we're going to have get very lucky to have a peaceful, prosperous 4 years ahead.
