We continue with our Civil War 2.0 Hypothesis,
and everything still lines up, and is building ...

Today, we discuss Democracy vs Kleptocracy.

Let's suppose Democracy is the color white.
Kleptocracy is the color black.

America, in its best Golden Age, was damn near close to white.  We were still trying to build a "more perfect Union" even during the best of times, so we were opaque.  Let's suppose Watergate (with Nixon's subsequent resignation) tarred the USA a little.  We go from opaque to a light shade of gray.  Let's suppose the corruption BUILDS as the decades pass.  The shade of gray gets darker and darker.

This past week, we reached full BLACK.  Metallica would be proud!  When Trump demanded $230 million for the DOJ investigating his corruption?  Wow!  He's not just trying to win the Al Capone Award, he's trying to make Al Capone look weak!  Now, we just found out he pardoned someone who gave kajillions to his crypto scam.  Wow!  These surely are amazing times!

In the past, I have explained the United States as an oligarchy.  That means it's run by a handful of people, even though there's a pretense that democracy works and "We the People" make the decisions.  I've also called the United States a plutocracy.  That means it's a government Of the Rich, By the Rich, For the Rich.  Once again, there's still a lingering pretense that ordinary people matter.

Up until Donald Trump was allowed back into the (currently wrecked) White House, I was hesitant to use "kleptocracy" to describe America.  Sure, many individuals were corrupt, but as a whole, it seemed fixable.  Now?  It's fair and easy to say.  An Orange Criminal is living in the White House.

Let's apply this to Civil War 2.0 as we know it:

Team A:  Donald Trump, the head Kleptocrat
     - his henchmen:  Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, Pete Hegseth, ICE, et al
     - his propagandists:  Megyn Kelly, Glenn Beck, Fox News, Karoline Leavitt, et al

Team B:  Everyone Else
     -  these are the people "fighting the good fight"
     -  these are also people who want nothing to do with Civil War 2.0 but got sucked in

No Man's Land:
     - in the past, this was Chris Christie, Mitt Romney, Michael Cohen, & many others
     - these people once were in Trump's orbit, but got thrown under the bus or saw the light
     -  there are also vulnerable newcomers to No Man's Land including Tucker Carlson and MTG
     - the newcomers have challanged the Narrative and dared to be independent

No Man's Land is the worse place you can be in trench warfare.  During World War I, literal trenches were dug between fighting armies.  All Quiet on the Western Front depicts this well.  You were relatively safe so long as you stayed in a trench.  If you ventured into No Man's Land, your life was in immediate danger.  Good luck to Tucker Carlson!  I've enjoyed your 9/11 series so far!  Good luck to MTG!  Thanks for exposing AIPAC, and thank you for sticking up for the victims of Epstein ...
