I hope not.
If a Caravan/U.S. forces confrontation goes down before Tuesday…in Trump’s own words, rocks for bullets, bullets for rocks…and is covered by the slavering media as the clickbait to end all clickbait, this election will fail to even begin to displace Trumpism. The zombified “base” of Trump’s support will dutifully clomp, clomp, clomp right out of their grave-like houses and vote in perfect, rotten unison.
If anyone in a position of some kind of real power who opposes Trump…U.S. spooks, especially…can somehow effect a slowdown in this confrontation until after this election, maybe something good will come of it.
If not?
Trump’s luck will hold.
Once again.
Sigh…
Watch.

P.S. If Trump stays in power, the U.S. will become a totally militarized state on the Israeli model, with South/Central Americans taking the place of the Palestinians as the excuse for militarization. And if that is successfully accomplished, the next internal targets will be all people of color.
Bet on it.
And then?
And then all bets are off.
A new twist on an old, old story:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out–because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out– because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out–because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.
It’s happening.
Now.
Right before our eyes.
P.P.S. Oaguabonita generously…well, maybe not so generously, but certainly with a gloat in its eye…informed me that I had the caravan’s timeline wrong. I answered as nicely as possible given the unending attacks on me personally and on my positions from the Group of…what? Four? Five?…NeoCentrists in residence on this blog.
My point, however, stands.
The constantly accelerating numbers of troops being sent to the Mexican Border are the first stones in a domestic military edifice that will rise ever more quickly as long as Trump stays in power.
Fascism 101.
Watch.
