China and Putin: The Winners of the Trump Years

One of the easiest ways to destroy a democracy is to make it too expensive to operate efficiently. Campaigning every two years coupled with the endless infighting are the GOP and Trump’s brand, and they have resulted in a bitterly divided democracy that is no longer a smooth-running machine. It’s no wonder we rank so poorly in handling the deadly pandemic. Democracy, the way the USA is doing it today, is a model that is destined to fail, especially in hard times. Inefficiency is what drives out the old and invites in the new. Survival of the fittest is real for governing too.

The winners of this long 2016-2020 election cycle were Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, the Jeff Bezos’s of the world, the enemies of democracy and bitcoin. With the results in the Georgia runoffs handing the Senate over to the Dems, the Trump years are effectively over as of today. If we want to make sure Trumpism never happens here again, we’ve got more work to do. We should collectively think hard on why Donald Trump was allowed to perform as a Putin sycophant in the office of the presidency. I have always felt “Russia, if you’re listening” was a disqualifying statement. We let that statement slip by and the result was we lost 300,000 extra American souls. Connect those dots.

It’s January 5th 2020. I really hope the Dems sweep the three branches of government tonight. ( They did!) The actual people of this country are not as far apart on what they want and need as Trump and the GOP instigators in Congress would have us believe. When we compete with nations that don’t have this divisive infighting, we will always come up short, just like we have done with the pandemic. The difficult days ahead will demand the focus that only a unified government can provide. Did you know China, with its unified communist government enjoyed a great economic 2020 while we were busy bickering about nonsense, masks and conspiracy theories? We used to be better than this. I remember.

The only people that like this American divisiveness are the authoritarians and the super greedy in business. Those two forces realized they had common goals and unified behind Donald Trump at the 2016 GOP Convention. I see that as an act of treason in a cyber war. These crimes must be prosecuted or they will happen again. Looking the other way enables cops to keep needlessly killing young black men. It’s the same way for corruption and abuse of power. Criminals are criminals. If there is no deterrence, they try again.

Calls for treason charges are just warming up. That’s how we roll here when we align and get focused. We’ve been here before. Watch this space.

The map on the page below explains the personal motive behind Trump’s rise to power .Donald sure seems to have been working for his own and Putin’s interests and not the American people. Anyway, it’s over. January 6th, 2020. Mark the date. But we’ve got to make sure this never happens again. They only need to succeed once to end the American democracy.
