In last night’s presidential debate, Joe Biden solidified fears of his senility for the Left, Reaganites, and old-school GOP Republicans, while satisfying hopes of the Alt-Right, Christian Nationalist apostates, and Grand Old Putin Party (GOPP) Republicans. Biden was barely audible regarding Trump’s 34 guilty convictions for hosing a porn star while his wife was pregnant, then covering it up to influence the 2016 election; his bank, tax, and insurance frauds; his conviction for rape. While Biden proved he is cognitively impaired, Trump proved he’s again unfit thanks to the unchecked lie factory in his mouth, his debt to Putin, and his endorsement of traitors he inspired to execute his attempted overthrow of the Constitution after six other illegal conspiracies failed. But lies no longer matter in America, much less the Constitution. What matters is appearance, swagger, bombast. Intellect (Biden didn’t show that either), character, morality, honesty, and vision are boring to Americans and utterly irrelevant in a president, Congress, Supreme Court justice, reality TV star, minister, priest, or any hero of our age.

Given that a majority of Americans don’t know the difference between a Constitutional Republic and an autocratic kleptocracy, the latter is just fine, so long as inflation is low. With Biden’s humiliation — a result of his own ego’s inability to see the exit and his Party’s inability to show him the door — an autocratic kleptocracy is what we’ll have on January 20, 2025, but this time in spades. Trump learned late in his administration how to fleece the government when, among many examples, he filled his hotels and resorts with troops bussed to fill them. Other nations will be fleeced in a variety of ways, like Trump’s designating Qatar a terrorist state — home to America’s largest military base — until they paid $1.4B in bribes for son-in-law Kushner’s bankrupt 666 Manhattan tower. Trump’s next fleece will rival his idol Putin’s. But that’s okay with Americans, so long as inflation is low.

But the new autocracy won’t simply mark the end of the Founder’s experiment in self-governance with commencement of a mafia state; it means much more for the rest of the world. Europe, Canada, Australia, and any of the remaining democracies in retreat must prepare. You’ll be called “bed wetters” and “hang wringers,” and when Trump said he was going to be a dictator, “Oh, he was only joking,” but do not wait until these matters are realized to compensate:

Ukraine, you will be betrayed by the U.S. While Reagan would have given you all, don’t think for a second Reaganism lives anywhere in the GOPP; they are Reagan haters. Trump will hand you over to Putin just as he said, “Russia can do whatever the hell it wants with Ukraine.”

Europe, you must finally get it through your heads that America is not your ally. America will violate NATO’s Article 5, even though you supported it and us in Afghanistan and our Iraq boondoggle, costing European lives. Trump will leave NATO to empower Putin as he empowered China by withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and as he greenlighted Iran’s nukes by leaving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Trust no treaties or agreements with America. Share no Classified, Secret, or Top-Secret documents with Trump as he’s already stolen hundreds, with a likely handful in Putin’s top drawer as demonstration of loyalty. Slide your economy toward a war footing or risk Putin’s Red Army — with the possible assistance from America’s Red States — rolling over your borders from Poland to the English Channel in ten to fifteen years. Trump’s Putin-loving America will become your enemy.

As the most debt-ridden executive in U.S. history ($8,400,000,000,000 in his first four years) Trump’s populist spend fest will race our economy skyward, heal it over the way Hugo Chavez did Venezuela, and auger it into the ground so hard it will make the Yucatan asteroid impact 66 million years ago seem like a fart. Europe, Canada, Australia, don’t be left in the wake of another U.S.-generated Great Recession or Depression. Expand ties with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Global Development Initiative (GDI), and Global Security Initiative (GSI) for protection. Ease away from the dollar to the yuan, as the dollar will eventually be worthless. Leverage your economic trade with China against Putin to peal China away from Putin’s two-cent GDP. China is more interested in trade with you, exporting their unemployment to your countries and ours, than Putin shirtless on his pony. However, they do want his oil. So, Norway, Royal Dutch Shell, and BP, you must accelerate your pollution of the planet to supply China in order for them to retreat from Putin’s oil, all the while as China develops green tech the way they did with — and now own — solar, wind, EV batteries, cars, and the future of electric aircraft after Boeing goes bust. With China on your side, your biggest threats will be Russia, America, and man-made global warming in the form of killer heat waves, droughts, floods, and mass extinctions from all those extra fossil fuels. Just hope that extinction doesn’t include you. Fortunately, you don’t have the tornadoes and hurricanes our unUnited States do; we’ll be savaged by them as atmospheric and ocean heat energy skyrockets, but that’s not your problem. Science deniers like Trump and his Liar’s Party will still be claiming man-made global warming — like COVID-19 — a hoax as we race inland from rising seas and dig underground for relief.

Canada, you’re in the worst position. End your asylum allowance, or we’ll run you over in the panic to escape America. Build a wall to keep us out and defend it. (Mexico should complete the one we made, as Trump can’t finish off anything except democracy and every business he ever touched.) That means greatly expanding your defense budget because you’ve got a lunatic nation on your border, and we’ve got nukes. You thought a nuclear Pakistan was scary? You just wait.

As for Americans, religious “Nones” — a record 30% as American Christianity collapses — will be forced into hiding, lawless gun violence will visit every street, militia Bubbas who want to play army will play in your neighborhood, like Nazi Germany, any slight of the dictator will land you in Stephen Miller’s Auschwitz alongside journalists, Democrats, and intellectuals as the government hunts down climate scientists the way Trump did when he first entered office. Join an evangelical church in the revival and stand a lot while you’re there. Wave your hands, sway, speak in tongues, and praise Donald J. Christ. Young people, reject the 60s sexual revolution and STOP fucking. While your church wants girls to become baby mills (“God, Guns, Bibles, and Babies!”), the last thing you’ll need in the midst of civilization’s collapse is a screaming, puking, shitting infant, and the last thing the planet needs is more humans. Forget abortion as the 1960s-style birth control it is because getting one will land you in prison. Get your minds right. Keep your heads down. Walk in lockstep to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 dogma, and don’t draw attention to yourself (like this blog).

Most of all, the human race must accommodate the idea that the 1945 post-WWII order created by the U.S. which allowed the longest period of prosperity and relative peace the world has ever known is over. Get on the right side of great power politics as slaughterhouse wars become the norm again. As it turns out, we primates never really could get away from our own nature. Evolution did not create a higher life form, only one with a greater capacity to screw things up.

It’s the Chinese Century now. Learn Chinese.
