    Prediction: Market goes down by half tomorrow, rioting and looting ensues. The government unleashes the army only to have sone army units turn against the official government. Full scale revolution by Thursday night. The mobs guillotine some members of the ruling class. A directorate takes over the government and starts holding trials. Eventually a Trotskyist becomes supreme leader of the People’s Republic of American States.

    I’m starting to wonder how long the old dragons will put up with this level of instability from a real estate con man and his nouveau riche tech bros. By no means are they anything approaching good or decent people, but they need a functioning society to thrive.

    There is no more blood to squeeze from working people.

      If Trump drops dead of a massive heart attack or whatever - we’ll never know if the old dragons were involved or it was simply of natural causes. But I think his hogs will go insane from conspiracy theories. My hunch is they’ll blame somebody who would never do a coup. Most likely Biden. If I’m right - huge numbers of people on social media will break federal law by making threats on Biden’s life. But nothing will happen to them. Trump’s DOJ and FBI will transition to become Vance’s DOJ and FBI. He wants Trump’s hogs to be his hogs. And if they’re insane with rage? Great! He wants that energy has he plans for 2028.

      i dont really understand the angle from the tech bros, they care a lot about having access to the rest of the world because there are not nearly enough people in the united states to justify their valuations. I do wonder how on board with this they really are.
