The New Normal Is Failure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look around and all you see is failure.<\/p>\n

A bunch of kids are being murdered by some semi-human, so what do you do? Draw your weapon and put him down or die trying? Or do you sit there, doing nothing?<\/p>\n

The same government we\u2019re supposed to give up our guns to because they have it all under control chose Option B. It chose failure.<\/p>\n

Tell me more about how the real problem is that we have the capacity to defend ourselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the real problem, to our enemies, is not that murderers murder. The real problem, to our enemies, is the very fact that we can defend ourselves. The objective of our trash elite is not to have a country that runs well, where people are secure, and where rights are respected. The objective is to rule. And if a bunch of kids die for that, they\u2019re fine with it. They can live with failure, but not accountability.<\/p>\n

The clusterfark in Uvalde is just a symptom of a much bigger pathology. It is a symbol of the failure of every institution in our society. And the solution is never to revamp the institutions and eject the parasites heading them. It\u2019s always \u2013 always \u2013 to take power from us and give it to the people who screwed up in the first place.<\/p>\n

Show of hands \u2013 who was shocked to hear that this creep was on law enforcement\u2019s radar before his killing spree?<\/p>\n

I see a distinct lack of hands.<\/p>\n

But the failure is not limited to being unable to stop murderers. It\u2019s not even the only failure involving schools. The schools are churning out a generation of quasi-literates and have been turned into a Grindr for perverted weirdos to use for grooming their prey. We got a good view of the failure during another epic failure, the COVID response.<\/p>\n

This is systemic.<\/p>\n

Everything is failing.<\/p>\n

Go try to get baby formula.<\/p>\n

See if you can afford gas. Hell, roll up to a Mickey D\u2019s drive-thru and try to roll away with lunch for four under $30.<\/p>\n

The courts don\u2019t work, the Congress doesn\u2019t work, and our alleged president is a borderline clinical moron who is lying when he\u2019s not merely stupid. This human sex toy got up at Annapolis and told the Naval Academy grads that he had been accepted there. It was a lie \u2013 of course, he\u2019s senile so maybe he believed it \u2013 and the regime media skipped over it like they skip over everything else that offends the official narrative.<\/p>\n

Failure, failure, failure.<\/p>\n

What is one institution that works? Just one.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our military? Oh please. Just last week the military demonstrated its real priorities when it released a list of proposed new names for various forts and bases that are currently labeled with insufficiently PC monikers. Now, here\u2019s a meaningful list challenge for them: Provide a list of names of real wars these people have won since 1991.<\/p>\n

Here it is: ___________________________.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re getting tired of nothing but disasters, debacles, and decline. And that\u2019s when things get dangerous. What cannot go on will not go on, and we Americans are not going accept muddling through forever, lurching from crisis to crisis created by our garbage ruling class and that cannot be solved by our garbage ruling class. Jimmy Carter was like that \u2013 President Peanut tried to tell us to embrace the suck. We told him to suck on his malaise. We turned to Ronald Reagan, and Carter was in a funk for forty years until Grandpa Badfinger finally relieved him of the title of \u201cWorst President of the Last Century.\u201d<\/p>\n

We will turn to someone, because this is unsustainable. The question is \u201cWho?\u201d And that is not precisely a question of individuals. It might be Trump, it might be DeSantis, it might be someone else. The question is what kind of person. Will it be a positive American leader in the vein of a Ronald Reagan, or will it be an American Caesar?<\/p>\n

I write about the authoritarian temptation in my upcoming nonfiction book\u00a0We\u2019ll Be Back: The Fall and Rise of America<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cHis rise would come as the result of a backlash against the left, and it would be propelled by a sense that the institutions, left to their own devices, would frustrate the true intent of the Framers and the people. He would call himself the restorer of American democracy (which sounds better to American ears than \u201crestorer of the Republic\u201d even if not technically correct). He would observe the rituals and symbols of the old United States, yet his reign would be distinguished by the unbridled use of his power. He would ignore the norms and unofficial rules of American politics that have so far restrained the conservatives but, to their mind, not the left. Checks and balances? Nah, it\u2019s an emergency. We\u2019ll get back to having those later.<\/p>\n

And later never comes. His supporters would see him as cutting through the obstacles to enact the necessary reforms to restore America to greatness. His opponents would call him an authoritarian. And they might have a point.\u201d<\/p>\n

The danger of systemic institutional failure is not merely the damage from the fallout, though as we saw in Uvalde, it can be monstrously horrific. The danger is that the failure is so pervasive and the ruling caste behind it so committed to retaining its own power at the expense of anything else that people may confuse this perversion of our constitutional system with the real thing and simply give up on the Founder\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n

They might embrace a strongman who is empowered sufficiently to break the hold of our garbage ruling class \u2013 at the price of our republic. The failure we are seeing is so complete, so comprehensive, that maybe Americans will come to think that this harsh cure is not worse than the disease. But, of course, it will be. Maybe not with the first dictator, or the second, but it will. Augustus was okay, unless you crossed him. But a Caligula is eventually going to come along.<\/p>\n

These clowns risk failing their way into an even bigger nightmare. So we have to stop them, because they are too corrupt and stupid to stop themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
