"It was all going so well"
When MAGA explodes, we already know it will be due to a "conspiracy". The Deep State conspired with the Zionist Occupied Government to subvert the mighty reign of the Pussy-Grabber-In-Chief, which otherwise was running flawlessly.
Utopia was just around the corner, because that's where utopia has always been. No matter how far the U.S. shifts to the right, in the minds of Libertarians, utopia is just a bit further to the right. We just have to strip-mine that last bit of civilized society to get there. Sadly, in the real world, not governed by Lost Boys still playing Dungeons and Dragons, their utopia doesn't exist in the past, present, nor the future. To find anything that even approximates a well run economy we have to first roll back the rolling back of protections for U.S. workers that has taken place for 50 years straight:
"I'm undoubtedly a liberal, which means that I'm in almost total agreement with the Eisenhower-era Republican party platform."
- Rachel Maddow
But those brief periods of time such as now when the Hunger Games economy does appear to work, who takes all of the credit and all of the profits? The great white alpha male CEO captains of industry of course. The "great men of our time". The heroes of Ayn Randian folk lore. But when it inevitably explodes again, due to the weight of its own greed and corruption, who to blame? A socialist plot.
These useful idiots with their conspiracy theories can never face the fact that the only part of society NOT affected by the downsides of globalization, and hence those who have accrued 90% of its wealth and power, are the fraternity of ultra-wealthy, old white alpha males. They are the ONLY true conspiracy. And they are a conspiracy of dunces, now placing their existential faith in Donald Trump. Not a man of their caliber by any means, merely a Manchurian Candidate poser who all his life has pretended to be in their league. And why is Trump now so critical to the true scions of power? Because his fake populism - which he learned from his time at the World Wrestling Federation - is the only way to control the lunatic Republican base. Imagine a guy born into extreme wealth and privilege, having gold faucets in his Manhattan penthouse apartment, loses his shirt and reinvents himself as a man of the people. Only in America. The scions of industry have cultivated a useful Idiocracy that they no longer directly control. Hence they need an intermediary nutjob, and now they've lost control over him as well.
Even now as we descend ever-further down the path of dystopia, the "Deep State" conspiracy theories must grow louder and louder in order to deflect blame from the true source of corruption.
How convenient is it for the most powerful CEO leaders of our time to have this base of useful carbon who NEVER ever question their abuses of power, corruption, and insatiable greed? And why not? Obviously because white nationalists could never blame white male CEOs for shipping the economy to China, in order to inflate their salaries to 400x that of the average worker. How could we then blame the brown people for this disaster?
Alas, the deaths of despair campaign strategy that drove Trump's fake populist movement to power, has its potential carbon limits.
Here, at the precipice of the largest global everything asset bubble in human history, Trump's useful base is maximum leveraged to fraud and corruption. Serial fraud and criminality having been their only true belief system all along.
Don't assume that the deaths of despair PAC is going to carry the day this time. There won't be enough carbon left to win the vote.
