They’ll get something done on the national level, too, if more states take action now on the Electoral College (separate thread).
The minute the Electoral College is abolished is the same day this country breaks apart
The corporations which donate to both parties intend societal instability but will ensure that political stability continues because they own both parties.
What is fascinating to me is that AI and the data centers located everywhere in which they will store all of the information on citizens not only nationally but globally are intended to be the reset on societal upheaval. It will be like an omnipresent Gestapo doing their P.I. work on all of us.
I'm reminded of Mao's "Let one hundred flowers bloom and one hundred schools of thought contend." statement from his cultural revolution. Everyone expressed their own ideas and they were all noted. And those with whom Mao disagreed were privately or publicly rounded up and sent to labor camps from which most would never be seen again. Hitler murdered 7 million based upon religious and racial differences as well as those outside of gender norms. Stalin got rid of an estimated 32 million, and Mao almost doubled Stalin but got rid of those with ideas he considered dangerous to his revolution.
Apparently humanity has no dearth of megalomaniacs but now will be stupid enough to provide them with omnipresent and extremely duplicated centers that collect all of the data on all of us whether left or right, red or blue, and will copy all information on us so as to provide any excuse in the future based on no matter how large or miniscule a perceived social maladaptation any of us have, and none among humanity lacks some kind of social maladaptation and will use it against us in a minority report kind of way to silence opposition to anything with which those in control desire us to comply.
It's the biggest slight of hand this nation, or any other will ever endure. Focus on Republicans and Democrats, focus on sexual preferences, focus on guns, focus on anything woke vs past social norms and make Republicans and Democrats run on all of that along with divides on how to budget and appropriate and pay local land owners oodles for the data centers and we will all be so damned busy permitting Television to misdirect our attention that we won't even notice that technology has stolen our freedom and collected any excuse the government may ever need to use against us, and that instead of the freedoms we take for granted and exercise daily we will be controlled to a degree never before known with eyes in our homes, databases recording everything including what I'm typing now, and cars that constantly ping our position if our cell phones aren't and which can be shut down if we are trying to evade their control. And folks this isn't science fiction. The data centers can coordinate all of it. And you don't need police to do anything but pick us up. If we flee drones will hunt us down. Combine "Minority Report and I Robot" and Hollywood can give you a visualization.
Government that exists to control doesn't care about you. It doesn't care what your sexual preference is. It doesn't care about your children. It doesn't need a nosy neighbor to spy on you. And while Trump did a tap dance for all of his public victories and taunted his adversaries, and now that the Big Blue celebration is ongoing none of what any of us believes or doesn't believe, or who we think we are or aren't matters. It is what the super wealthy have been worried about and have planned to overcome, the masses.
The engine of control is almost in place and those the left rails against and those too many of the right admires, have been talking about the perfect sustainability of the planet's resources being found if consumers are reduced from nearly 9 billion people to 3.5 billion people and when you think about the implications of that it will dwarf the atrocities committed by Hitler, Mao, and Stalin combined.
Meanwhile your adversaries globally will be hidden in gated communities not under the surveillance the rest of of us will be, with total dependence upon electric ground vehicles, thorium supplied energy sources to help meet the drain need of the data centers, and with our most precious resource, water, consumed by them while we die out to meet their magic number determined by the Earth's constant population until the use of petroleum for fertilizer made feeding a larger number of us possible. I've even wondered if the Baby Bust has been chemically manipulated.
So in the last four years while MAGA fans danced and WOKE fans protested, the super wealthy have made advancements in how to control or eliminate all of us. In light of that I have to wonder if COVID was a failed experiment in global population control or a successful one since so many of us had our DNA altered by the vaccines. Until they know how to travel to and settle other Earth like planets they intend not to run out of resources here. Now whether you think this is the basis of another Sci Fi flick or not. Nobody, on the left or right should be doing a tap dance. And until we get together on this we all face a greater enemy than ever faced before, and it is among all of us, but not visible to us, and the locations of the adversaries remain undisclosed. Are they evil? No. Just logical and Darwinian. Their motive is survival and so should be ours.
