Kamala Will Win in November and Trump Won’t Be Man Enough to Accept Defeat.

You know it, I know it, the whole world knows it. Donald Trump is the king with no clothes. The king of whine. The boisterous king of self-pity. The ball-less “Wizard of Loss” masquerading as tough guy. The foulmouthed, sour, unfunny joker. The consummated bamboozler. The inveterate, blowhard, unrepentant liar.

But his constant indecent behavior is not abnormal any more. By now, Trumpian verbal manure is standard political discourse in America. It is almost an expected daily occurrence in the News. But such crumbling of American morals is not the worst part of our national predicament. Words can have ulterior meanings and have already had consequences seriously detrimental to the political stability of the nation.

From the beginning of the Trumpian era in 2015, the Republicans’ attack on the American Democratic and Judicial Systems has had an increasingly insidious end: To undermine the American people’s trust in their own government, so that if and when a serious, perhaps even armed, domestic conflict erupts, the sole voice prevailing over the chaos may be that of their Dictatorial Führer. It is all just part of the central guideline written across the well-known playbook of Fascist regimes: To num the people’s perception to outrageous lies and exaggerations to the point where they can no longer tell right from wrong or true from false.

January 6 didn’t happen overnight. It was the culmination of over four years of purposely-conceived lies loudly and constantly disseminated from the White House, from the then-corrupt Department of Justice, and from influential authoritarian Republican members of Congress with the specific purpose of predisposing the American people against their own government, so that when the time came for their Führer to call for an insurrection, thousands of them would already be more than willing to follow orders.

J6 was just a failed first attempt at a total power-grab from the part of the American Fascist leader, but he and his henchmen are still pursuing their nefarious designs: To first place the reins of the American Government in the hands of their Führer by any means possible, then populate all key positions in all branches of Government with authoritarian co-religionaries so as to ensure that the 2024 presidential elections will be the last in American history.

The J6 coup failed, but the unrepentant Anti-Democracy, anti-American forces that propelled it are still alive and active, and we have the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 to attest to it. Their plan to install a dictatorship in America is still in place.

Donald Trump himself said it clearly when he told a crowd of Christians gathered at an event organized by the conservative group Turning Point Action in West Palm Beach, Florida, on July 27th 2024: "Christians, get out and vote, just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians" (see here). To me, however, that “my beautiful Christians” sounds more like “my beautiful useful idiots”.

Trump is finished. But the Fascist movement he awakened and amplified isn’t. Kamala Harris will win in November, but the ball-less Trump won’t be man enough to accept defeat and that could mean a J6 reprise that could have ominous unpredictable consequences.
