Predictions

I feel like you can't really talk about politics nowadays...unless you want your friend to only be people who agree with you. Problem is...my stance is so nuanced that I don't think I agree with anyone. But luckily not that many people read my blog. Not people I know anyway. I mean they know it exists...they click on it....that's different then reading it. That's why I am rambling, so they will lose interest instead of continuing to read. 

I was somewhat troubled when Trunp did not concede at first. And even more troubled that China and Russia were kind of waiting to congratulate Biden. Like...could Trump use that to stay in power or maintain smooth other sort of power? Like what was he up to? The right thing to do...if you are part of the club...which he never was....is to concede and move on. Then I see all these articles with their predictions about what he was doing and then my little opinion clicked as to what he was doing. Did you ever have to study Politivsl Bosses in school? Like James Michael Curley? Well if the political bosses were like the local bar or mom and pop burger joint....the non President Trump (he is still President at the moment) but once he isn't...he will be a political boss on a corporate level. Like McDonalds and Starbucks. Like the most powerful poli5boss you have ever seen. The second he concedes ..he loses that. But as long as he just ignore everyone (notnholding out but just like, f you guys I'm playing golf for a month) his radical loyalists will remain loyal and will vote however he says. Crazy huh?  Some articles called it a Presidency in exile....so basically something like the Dalai Lama...and yes Trump's followers do have a religious component too. Not the ones that have now thrown out the lawn signs...the ones that are praying for his reinstatement. It will be like King Arthur or the Kennedy's. His daughter could run. And a lot could happen in the next four years. If the Centrist Democrats push out or disrespect AOC....could possibly this new group that is mostly Republican...pick up ot merge with Democratic Socialists...if not in 4 years...then in 10? And then what would that look like. Scarily...this group would have a name like the bost evil group fro. Germany...and the group that would be easy to persecute...because of Covid, would most likely be ethnic Chinese. Eerily we have been copying the last century in terms of dates, a 2020 pandemic just like the 1918 pandemic...I am hoping we do not copy everything from last century....though I think even if we do it will be different. I mean am I concerned? Actually I am pretty optimistic about America's character. I mean stuff will happen...but it will mostly look like the stuff already happening....maybe I am naive though.
