A Pyrrhic Victory: the Uniparty wins again

Sure, why not. I’ll weigh in on the presidential election circus. The nature of running a political education blog is such that one cannot help but be interested. It’s part of the (un-paid) job. To be clear, these thoughts are my own and not an official statement from the American Nazi Party. Just me, blowing steam.

Of course I’m glad The Kackler didn’t win: there are buffoons and puppets, and there is Kamala Harris putting them all to shame. More to the point, as noted in a previous post, the American Oligarchy absolutely did not want tRump to win, and that he did despite their best efforts (and poorly aimed shots) is cause for, if not celebration, then some satisfaction.

Granted, it’s probably only a temporary breath of fresh non-kosher air: tRump has close personal ties—to say nothing of business relationships—with the sons of Abraham. Jewish mega-donors poured money into his campaign after the DemocRats fractured over the pro-Jewish/pro-Palestinian fault line. He won’t forget them and has repeatedly professed his love for Israel and “Bibi” Netanyahu.

“My promise to Jewish Americans is this: With your vote, I will be your defender, your protector, and I will be the best friend Jewish Americans have ever had in the White House…But in all fairness, I already am.”

– Donald Trump

Still, it’s nice to see the Communist News Networks cry in their beer while pulling their hair out. According to the Media Research Center, the 2024 presidential election campaign coverage was the most biased in US history: Legacy Media® coverage was positive for Kamala and crew 78% of the time, while only 15% of the time for tRump. That the American people could see through the pink smoke screen is somewhat impressive given the incessant “Trump=Hitler” refrain.

I promise this is the last time I will show her face. I can’t stand it either.

I am, however, a little depressed that so many—scratch that—any people actually voted for Cumala. I don’t know why the continued demonstration of electoral incompetence by the American people still surprises me. I should know better: I live in a state that has not voted for a Republican presidential nominee in 40 years. It’s a land of good, obedient, sheeple: we wear our masks, take our shots, vote for whomever the media tells us to vote for, mandate unisex bathrooms, and call everyone who doesn’t march in lock-step with our herd “Nazis”. For reasons of employment, I have to live here. When I retire, I’m moving.

It is also worth noting that the Republicans have apparently taken control of both houses in Congress. Although glad to see archaic artifacts like McConnell, Pelosi, Schumer and their ilk lose power, from a “rubber meets the road” point of view, history has demonstrated that when one party controls all branches of government, the only people that win are the rich.

Examples of what is referred to as “Unified Control” include:

  • Between 2001 and 2007, Republicans controlled all three branches. What did we get? 9/11 of course, and a suspension of the bill-of-rights, and a protracted war in the Middle East. The stock market boomed.
  • From 1961-1969, Democrats controlled all three branches. Result: the Vietnam war, the Neo-communist counter-culture revolution, and a presidential assassination.
  • And the poster-child for Unified Control, 1937-1945: Franklin Dictator Roosevelt gave us World War II, racial integration, and the Cold War: and basically the ground-work for everything since.

In all of the above examples, the economy boomed. And in all of the above examples, the economic expansion was driven by war.

Now, tRump has a decent record of not waging wars. He may even bring peace to some of the current hot-spots around the globe. Then again, he may not. But the stock market is booming for a reason today: the rich are going to get richer at the expense of everyone else, and they know it. If not through war, then with tax cuts and, even worse, market speculation and deregulation. Without getting into the weeds—a topic for an upcoming post when we look at how the deregulation of the rail-industry has destroyed the industrial capacity of this nation—market speculation and deregulation line the pockets of those who produce nothing. It is an air-bubble whose expansion sucks the life out of the middle class and, when it pops, destroys the life savings of the American worker.

But who knows, maybe we’ll get a legislative bill confirming that there are, in fact, only two genders.

Some are writing that the tRump victory sounds the death knell for key dynasties in the American Oligarchy. I’m not so sure. At this point, it feels more like a band-aid over a gaping flesh wound. True, it is a slap in the face to the Bush, Cheney, Obama, and Clinton families, to say nothing of the over-paid, underworked, load-mouth hacks in Hollywood. But if you think it will impact the Waltons, Kochs, Cargill-MacMillians or the Du Ponts, think again. And certainly the BlackRocks, State Streets, and Vanguards of the investing world will do just fine, thank you. I suspect Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed-Martin, and Northrop Grumman will also not being going bankrupt any time soon.

I fear America is hoping that a rising tide which floats the mega-yachts of the uber-wealthy will also float the dingy of the American worker. Once again, we have fallen for the Uniparty trap. The problem isn’t this candidate or that party. In a country where 66.7% of the nation’s wealth is controlled by less than 10% of the population, the problem is systemic. The bottom 50% of wage-earners control a virtually non-existent 2.5% of the nation’s wealth.

Our system, as it is currently structured, simply does not work. Not for me, and not for you. The results of this election- for all the potential positives- only serves to put gasoline in the tank of a car which is slowly falling apart; eventually to be abandoned on the side of the road of history.

Amerika Erwache!
