What I find fascinating now is that Trump remains the figurehead of this authoritarian oligarchy, a white Christian Nationalist movement, but he no longer seems to be capable of leading the charge.

What I find fascinating now is that Trump remains the figurehead of this authoritarian oligarchy, a white Christian Nationalist movement, but he no longer seems to be capable of leading the charge. He has become confused , desperate, and disorganized. He has spent almost $100 M on lawyers with much more to come. He is campaigning mostly to stay out of jail.
But he has the unwavering, uncritical support of Fox News and the rest of the right wing media. Even though Biden is raising more money, Trump has many hidden billionaires propping him up, probably including money from Russia and Saudi Arabia. The Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation are now on board with destroying the government from within or without. The Supreme Court is certain protecting him from prosecution, as well as protecting red gerrymandered districts. His handlers just let Trump out to give performances and stir up the crowd. He is getting much less effective, as he can only ramble though distorted versions of his top hits. He isn’t holding many rallies any more. His fans flock to them, but they often leave early — but that doesn’t mean they are deserting the movement. Trump’s MAGA movement has metastasized throughout the south and much of the midwest — the planation states are totally under control. We have to confront this by spreading the truth through every media we can. These are not normal times.
If the U.S.A, were wiped off the map tomorrow, the rest of the world would shrivel up like a prune Oldandintheway.
American demand, American agriculture, American refinering, American Navy,American financing is what keeps the world rocking and rolling
American Navy is a tax free, for the rest of the world, police service that keeps the channels of international commerce open. American taxes subsidize other countries, not just Israel, but those countries Trump called shithole countries, and contribute to economic equilibrium, and thus peace.
Of course, if America went all isolationist, or if we blew ourselves up in the great plastic bag fire, something somewhere would emerge to fill the void. Would it be a better world? Probably not. But right now we have a lot of people with good jobs living good lives and they like to go places and buy things. We have innovative tech companies as well as a very educated workforce. We have big banks and other capital companies that invest all over the world. Not all Americans benefit from this, certainly not equality, but more than the folks in Bangladesh who make the shirts. Our military protects our commerce and energy needs.
I am a beneficiary of the status quo, and have absolutely no complaints... at the moment.
But besides, creature comforts that I enjoy, I fear what is coming barreling down the track like a runaway train. I'm talking of the culture war.
My comment, however, was predicated on the removal of the U.S.A, from the global scene.
Whatever one thinks of the U.S., whatever our deficits.our faults, our shortcomings, imagine. if the USA was subtracted from the world scene.only a suicidal nihilist could wish for such an outcome.

I totally agree Mr. Old. I totally agree.
