"they would have been better off with a 2nd term of Trump than what they're about to face . . ."

A rising empire doesn’t look like a Green Zone from Baghdad and doesn't have a dementia candidate for president.  That’s a sign of a declining empire, a dying empire, that knows it’s dying, and I think on some level they do, and this is when they lash out most, but I do think it’s going to trigger a backlash . . . I’ve seen it from all kinds of places.  People who weren’t even active before didn’t care about politics, so enraged by what the system is trying to do that they’re finding any way conceivable to engage.  People are starting to realize how powerful local government can be because they actually control how elections are done. They’re going to be running for little positions—city council, county commission . . . .  For a populist revolution to work, it needed always to be bottom-up.  It could never succeed top down.  And they’re forcing that to happen.
