Honestly if Trump follows Elon Musk’s genius 2 trillion cuts it’s going to seriously fuck with the US ability to do imperialism for the coming decades.
The last two years of Biden was a huge gamble for the imperialist state and basically praying that the Global South doesn’t end up ditching the dollar (it worked because no alternative has been found yet).
Now the US needs to flood the Global South with the dollars again to retain its hegemony, and Trump cutting 2 trillion (which is a lot!) is going to destroy the monetary supremacy of US imperialism abroad.
I’m starting to think that they won’t allow Trump to win this time because you don’t want to screw with the imperialist machine.
Which would unironically probably cause a civil war
You really think so? I'd think they'd just have him actually assassinated and just have Vance (he's a chucklefuck with no principles anyway, he'd be easy to blackmail) held by the balls to do what they want wrt imperialism.
If they do off him, I don't think it's off the table. It'd be seriously destabilizing.
Was just thinking along these lines. This would seriously turn things upside down no way this goes off without serious fuckery
God willing, I hope so!
