Everything depends on @realDonaldTrump’s use of this historic opportunity. This could restore America. Or tank it.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">To say it my way, this is the highest *variance* presidency of my lifetime. As bad as Kamala was (and you know my position) she was probably lower variance. Lower variance and much lower mean.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">This is potentially amazing because the sky is the limit. Given the chance, I will help anyone to use this mandate to make it the best presidency it can possibly be. But you can’t ask me to close my eyes to the risks. I’m just not that guy. Never was and never will be. This is incredibly dangerous as we are seated at the high stakes table now.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">I don’t understand Americans who want Trump to fail. I think he is a brilliant man which I have always said. But he is also incredibly divisive. I think he truly loves his country and wants the best for it. He is also very dangerous and unpredictable. And he NEEDS that unpredictability to survive. He is very strong. And perhaps he needs to be dangerous. I could be persuaded that this is necessary.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">He learned last time that you need an sea of people to govern. He won’t make that mistake again.</p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;">Am I optimistic? Yes. Very. Am I deeply deeply worried? Absolutely. Very.”…</p>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/11/17/about-trumps-election/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">41056</post-id> </item> <item> <title>The Real Reason for U.S. Warmongering in Ukraine</title> <link>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/10/25/the-real-reason-for-u-s-warmongering-in-ukraine/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-real-reason-for-u-s-warmongering-in-ukraine&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-real-reason-for-u-s-warmongering-in-ukraine</link> <comments>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/10/25/the-real-reason-for-u-s-warmongering-in-ukraine/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Erich Vieth]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 26 Oct 2024 00:04:17 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corporatocracy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corruption]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Election Integrity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Political Science]]></category> <category><![CDATA[populism]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spending priorities]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://dangerousintersection.org/?p=40824</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the real reason the Biden-Harris Administration is risking the deaths of hundreds of millions of Americans in a nuclear war.

In turn, actual democracy became “populism.” Protecting the sanctity of “democracy” now required protecting the managerial state from the demos by making governance less democratic.”…</p>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/02/20/they-really-do-think-were-stupid/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">39405</post-id> </item> <item> <title>First They Come for Free Speech, Now for Democracy Itself</title> <link>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/01/09/first-they-come-for-free-speech-now-for-democracy-itself/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=first-they-come-for-free-speech-now-for-democracy-itself&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=first-they-come-for-free-speech-now-for-democracy-itself</link> <comments>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/01/09/first-they-come-for-free-speech-now-for-democracy-itself/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Erich Vieth]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 10 Jan 2024 05:06:24 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[American Culture]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Political Science]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://dangerousintersection.org/?p=39206</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1744359648658858156" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-11.03.30-PM.png" alt="Screenshot 2024 01 09 at 11.03.30 PM" width="1186" height="938" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-39207" title="First They Come for Free Speech, Now for Democracy Itself 6" srcset="https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-11.03.30-PM.png 1186w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-11.03.30-PM-300x237.png 300w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-11.03.30-PM-1024x810.png 1024w, https://dangerousintersection.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-11.03.30-PM-768x607.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1186px) 100vw, 1186px"/></a>…</p>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>https://dangerousintersection.org/2024/01/09/first-they-come-for-free-speech-now-for-democracy-itself/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">39206</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
