Two thousand years back, Cassius Dio wrote about Roman democracy as " Politicians betting on people, people betting on Politicians". Nothing has changed. Politicians need dedicated cadre, offices, promotion material and so on for all this. Either candidate has to put it from his pocket ( mean needs to fill it back one way or other) or take it from whoever had. the ideal of "Elected by People, for the people" itself never really existed whether one calls democracy or communism or other variations.
To start, there is no freedom, it is an illusion of freedom(I mean it's all over the world). No body can tell that better than George Carlin.
I always wondered about this Victory/Loser business highly prevalent in America (probably even in the West). Highly evident in American football games. Teams fight to the tooth and nail to the last second, if they lose by 1 point out of sheer bad luck, they come to fans and apoligize and talk as if they screwed up and fans go happy. It is ridiculous to consider this. There is a saying that there is no winners in War. It is common people who pay for it, some may come out with some booty, it is the big pigs that is funding on both sides who are real winners and nobody seems to bother about them when they send their kids to the War.
True, they will destroy themselves, in the process they destroy lot of us too. But, there is nothing we can do except be "Wise as serpant, Gentle as Dove". With 50% OP's in the population who can be molded whatever the way they can, options are few or none.
IMO this is the issue with Trump using military. USA is not a country like Pakistan or Syria or Lybia where one military leader can pull the levers to change Govt. It's the world's largest military (Probably Since Atlantian times 10,000 years back) with footprint in 3/4 of the world, run by complicated systems with numerous alphabetical soup agencies where nobody knows who the other person is. Top of it all, C's suggest that Pentgon itself has some 4D territories. He can try, but it all depends on how much military guys he can attract showing popular support.
We can only speculate on this. if Trump boldly resurrect military rule, there are factions who are willing to join? But, that means lot of blood bath than one protester getting shot and with probable risk of Trump himself get killed.
Yep, Now, Deepstate can say 'See, we had been saying Trump a is Russian Puppet. No body listened. Now he joined Telegram and it is proof'. Nothing can change how many laptops, scandals exposes any body. It is on a assumption Law and order exist. If it did, Killary should had been behind the bar long ago along 50% of Washington she wants to take with her.
Probably, Trump is the last stand( if we can call that way) before Universe takes over. 4D STS has a free reign and they don't have ability to understand Universe's balancing force. It is not like "Dorothy pouring water to dissolves the witch" scenario. Witch is back with vengeance. Maybe the exposure of injustice against the Trump will trigger disintegration of United States, thus spoiling the 4D STS plans.
With 70% of Americans with no meaningful savings, almost all the small industry destroyed due to COVID hysteria, the Govt. assistance reduced to very low levels and this awareness of the "How rigged system is", there is will be massive suppressed anger, material and psychic suffering that calls for the Universe to respond. Remember C's comments about Asian psunami. They also said wayback in 2010, cosmic energies are pouring into earth. Let's see how it goes.
