Ok, I realize the thread title is way over-stated. However, comma, I wanted to pose this question as a means of surfacing good strategies and tactics in the event the worst happens this fall. By "worst", I am talking about an outcome that results in:
- Joe Biden winning the Presidency
- Nancy Pelosi continuing as Speaker of the House
- Chuck Schumer becoming the Senate Majority Leader
Consequences of this over the next two to four years could include:
- (D) Control of the selection process for the SCOTUS judges, including at the least RBG (bless her toughness, but at some point she will pass on)
- (D) Committee Chairmanship in both House and Senate
- Ability to ram-rod the new Progressive Agenda through combined House and Senate action, rubber stamped by Joe's handler and her team (aka his VP pick)
See
www.joebiden.com for a taste of what's coming, featuring all of the in-vogue Progressive topics, such as:
- Joe Biden's plan for Black America
- The Biden plan for Immigration
- Criminal Justice Reform
- The Biden plan for Climate Change
- LGBTQ+ Equality
- Sensible Gun Control Laws
Based on recent civil unrest and "protest" elements aka riots in Minneapolis, Atlanta, Seattle, and other major cities across the country this summer, it seems not unreasonable to add:
- A significant seat at the table for the philosopy espoused by groups such as BLM
- A concerted and likely successful effort to "reimagine" the Police ("reimagine" = defund, the budget allocated elsewhere)
- Significant glamorization, expansion and evolution of Domestic Terrorism (political aims achieved by violence) as a normal political act, as practiced by adherents of Antifa
- Ongoing destruction of cultural and historical evidence of any actual or alleged white racist capitalist pigdogs, going back to George Washington
- Reparations, and a discussion on the value of the check to be provided to each member of the oppressed class
...and much more besides.
So the premise of this thread is not to complain or whine about whether this might happen, the point is to assume it does.
What then?
What
strategic decisions can you make now, ahead of the election, to put yourself in a better position?
What
financial choices can you make ahead of time?
What should you do, or what should you not do,
to be better prepared to live in the coming Progressive Utopia?
Your Thoughts? Or are we just all fucked if this happens?
