like it or not

indications are that trump will lose in november if ( and here we have the crux of the matter ) the election comes off without interference...events are militating towards gross interference with trump and his crypto-fascist allies at the controls...if trump loses he is either going to jail ( the state of new york doubtlessly has a stack of sealed indictments it will crack open as soon as biden takes the oath of office...there are probably others...) or be forced to flee to putin land and bunk with sonwden in a twisted turn of events...

the border patrol, which is probably the most dangerously politicized and authoritarian branch of the government has been turned loose in portland oregon...no coincidence, i think, given the long history of labor and social activism from the iww on in the area from lumbermen and dock workers...in an effort to intimidate the population...chad wolf who is the "acting" head ( which implies to me that he has in no way been vetted or confirmed by the senate...a trumpist that has oozed through the cracks ) of homeland security has plans to send the border patrol to other cities ( like chicago )...he says he doesn't need "invitations" from cities or states to send in the troops and that he will do so "whether they like it or not"....authoritarianspeak if ever i heard it...back in the 70s in what was probably drug fueled fantasy/paranoia we used to be consistently worried about richard nixon planning a coup...the current president ( and i find it remarkable that i am about to say this publicly because nixon was of an authoritarian bent and believed that he was above the law as well ) makes nixon look benign...i did not vote for trump in 2016 nor will i in 2020...he is unfit to be a dog catcher and should be isolated far from politics...we have been living in interesting times...political and economic...both dangerous to social health when they are unstable...and this is as unstable as it has been in fifty odd years and the virus is a variable that wasn't present in the 60s/70s...i am not a true believer in the constitution but it is possible it will be torn up in a fashion i do not condone...the "interesting" part will accelerate from now until autumn...even that won't be the end
