Alright, let's get all Nostradamus up in this bitch.

Is it going to be as bad as last year? Which blue city will give in and crack down first? Which one will allow itself to perish? How many people will be arrested for defending themselves?

Any other predictions for how this year's riot season is going to shape up?

Maybe we should start a Fantasy Riot league.

I know someone is keeping a list, I just forget where it is.

In April, Amazon is coming out with an adaptation of Without Remorse, a Tom Clancy novel where a man rescues a prostitute from a street gang and events transpire that result in a classic revenge story. In the original, he's Irish. In the Amazon adaptation, he's a black man avenging his pregnant wife.

So, like many boomers, I have a 401k that represents basically my entire retirement fund. Unlike many boomers, I am under the age of 50.

I'm sure there's plenty of other millennials, and possibly even younger generations, who have simple, relatively hands-off accounts from jobs where you just diverted a percentage of your paycheck. It's not flashy or trendy, and it's kinda old-school - like the employers we got them from.

With the market being about as stable as a cement mixer full of nitroglycerin, what are we to do?

I've thrown some pocket change into the Meme War on Wall Street, but if this triggers a collapse, there goes my 'retirement' (as though that could ever happen given current trends). What should I and people like me be looking out for?

So I keep seeing people compare this to the Reichstag Fire, as a means of Trump attaining Hitlerian power.

But the result is completely opposite.

Democrat officials are calling for the expulsion of several, if not every, Republican representative. Anyone who objected to the vote ratification is looking down the barrel of whatever process the Democrats invent to 'hold them accountable'.

Everyone is calling for everyone involved to be hunted down by the FBI and jailed or killed, including people who have been wanting the police defunded this whole time.

I don't think this was a false flag, Trump Supporters definitely entered the building. But it very well may have been a trap, and if not a deliberate one, then one on which they've capitalized. I'm not going to argue taking the high road for the optics, because the events of this week haven't introduced any new characterizations to the narrative, they were already saying all these things.

If this was Reichstag, it wasn't for Trump.

Am I the only one noticing a massive uptick in people attacking Parler and disputing its right to exist? They don't want to leave people anywhere to hide from their perfect world. They will never leave any of us alone.

They ban you from the mainstream site, and then when they find where you retreat to, they want that shut down to.

How do you counter that? It's unending.

I know a lot of people who are having trouble handling the way things are going. The left has engaged in sustained, random, low-intensity violence on a national level. People feel they need to prepare, but they can't retaliate, and that constant edgy readiness is already wearing people down while the left continues to randomly burn and loot with impunity.

Do people have some ideas on how to handle that constant background noise without getting worn down and losing before the fight even begins? I've been able to compartmentalize and just wait to do the job that's in front of me, but not everyone can do that.

Like most of you, I would prefer to see a Trump victory.

But also like most of you, I have seen the extraordinary lengths the opposition is willing to go to in order to make that not happen. Everything from ballot destruction to illegal vote harvesting to deliberately placing Covid carriers in elderly (statistically conservative voters) populations and hoping for them to die.

I know we will not have a result the night of November 3rd. I don't know when we will have a result. I know that if the result isn't what they want, it will be contested.

If they lose, I expect more of the same, but worse. They will burn down more cities. Dem governors and mayors will push for more lockdowns that will destroy any small business left standing by BLM. MSM will not cover a single piece of news that can't be spun to show POTUS in a negative light.

If they win, though? I have no idea. I don't know what to prepare for. I know the MSM will break their backs carrying Joe's water up until the moment they ship him off to the farm so Kamala can take over. I know that no matter how hard either of them foul up, we'll never hear it through normal channels. I know that they will immediately begin changing whatever laws they feel they need to in order to ensure they never lose another election, and I know the tech monopolies will do everything in their power to help. But I don't know else what to expect, or how to prepare for it.

Does anyone have any thoughts on potential outcomes or what to do to prepare for it?
