The Final Lashing or Prelude to Worse: Trump’s Efforts to Remain in Power

Yesterday’s riot at the U.S. Capitol certainly marked one of the darkest days in American history. Many have long speculated that Donald Trump would incite chaos if he didn’t win the election, and I have echoed these concerns for the past few months. However, the brazen and violent insurrection orchestrated by Trump raises the question of whether this was the apex of his desperate efforts to remain in power or a prelude to even more drastic actions in the coming days.

Trump’s Final Lashing Out

Many have described Trump’s behavior as crossing the line. Indeed, there is a perspective that his actions yesterday were inexcusable and marked a significant regression in his fitness for office. The president’s incitement of an insurrection yesterday is alarming, and for many, it seems to be the last desperate act of an unstable individual. Nevertheless, the evidence suggests that this is not the end of Trump’s attempts to retain power.

The U.S. military’s refusal to follow his orders is a crucial factor here. Trump’s incitement does not imply the military will now follow his commands, suggesting his control over military and federal resources is already at an end. However, the question remains, will he attempt further violence nationwide to disrupt the inauguration on January 20th?

A Nation in Tension

If there is one thing that will become drastic, it will be the increase in police presence in the areas surrounding Washington D.C. In the wake of this insurrection, expect heightened security measures and a stronger military presence. This heightened security is a critical step to ensure the safety of the nation’s capital and protect against further violence or unrest.

The incident at the Capitol is undoubtedly a result of desperation and a failed attempt to maintain power. However, for those familiar with the dynamics of malignant narcissism and sociopathy, and the full story of the Trump/Russia affair, this outcome was predictable. Many have noted that from the outset, the situation was set to become humiliating and violent. This insurrection is not just an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of disarray since January 20, 2017. The events are meticulously orchestrated and weaponized against the United States, orchestrated by Vladimir Putin to weaken the nation.

While it is crucial to treat this event as forcefully as need be, we must also recognize the underlying issues that led to this moment. The fear and manipulation associated with the ultra-right wing, fuelled by misinformation and a deep distrust of government, have reached a boiling point. It is essential to address these issues comprehensively, recognize inherent sociopathic tendencies, and work towards a stable and democratic future.

Conclusion: This is not just a one-time incident but the culmination of a broader pattern of manipulation and control. While Donald Trump poses a significant threat, the path forward lies in maintaining strong democratic institutions, robust security measures, and a unified effort to restore faith in the democratic process.

Key Takeaways:

Donald Trump’s incitement of violence was a final act of desperation. The military’s refusal to follow orders indicates a loss of control. Expect increased police and military presence in the region. The events are part of a broader pattern orchestrated by malicious actors.
