Sunday Thoughts

We are roughly five weeks from Trump be installed as the next ruler and there already is the sense that things are changing. This week Trump and his crew were invited to the New York Stock Exchange to ring the bell, which was treated as a perfectly normal thing to do. A year ago, he would not have been permitted in the building and the New York Times would have called it a scandal if he was allowed on the property, much less rang the opening bell.

All over we see these signs that something in the places we never see, has changed. The priss who runs Apple was down at Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring. Like the rest of the Silicon Valley oligarchs, he was there to bend the knee to the new boss. This never happened after 2016. It is fair to say that if Trump had won in 2020, it would not have happened at all. Too many oligarchs are swinging to the side of Trump for there not to have been some change of heart in the clouds.

They will never share with us why they are suddenly okay with the guy they said was a threat to democracy and possibly Hitler reincarnated. One guess is they have grown very worried about what is happening in the world. The new cold war with China and Russia is bad for business. Then you have the fact that the American economic model is under threat, due in large part to the gross mismanagement of foreign policy over the last four years.

This may be the final phase of Brazilification. In Latin American, the economic and political elites are all European ancestry. The occasional brown guy turns up, but the people running these countries are exclusive and they keep it that way. The struggle is to keep the disruptive white fraction from enlisting the non-white masses to challenge the all-white ruling elite. This is the political dynamic in every Latin America country. It is one of those things that everyone knows, but never admits.

This may be what is happening now. Note that they have even toned down the “legal immigration” talk and are fine with surrogates talking about ending all immigration. Trump says he will sign an executive order ending birthright citizenship. This is a huge swing from his rhetoric eight years ago. It is a huge swing from his rhetoric a year ago. Maybe the crazies were right, and Trump is ushering in white nationalism, just the Latic American variety.
