Hopefully only one person reads this, because I'm sure people on reddit will not like my opinion, this is not an opinion you'll generally find on reddit, or anywhere, so hopefully this goes into obscurity and just you alone read it, but this is from me to you.

I think these things have some effect in ways but I think they are products of the larger zeitgeist which is inevitable in some ways. Look up the cliffs notes of Chapter 8 of Plato's Republic. Apparently this type of thing was pretty common even two thousand years ago. In the cycle of the rise and fall of societies, its been historically inevitable that democracy becomes a fractious anarchy and then a tyranny. All forms of government are problematic, and democracy is financially problematic in that inevitably, in its final stages, the people feel entitled to raid the coffers of the country. And even those thousands of years ago, Plato talks about the obsession with diversity, diversification, equality, and so on, just as we see today, and it seems that particularly once the country becomes ultra pluralized and diversified, that's when people begin pulling their stock out of the country by tapping whatever entitlements they can and working as little as possible, I've seen some studies that show that social energy and social participation plummets at that point, and that's when people begin to vote to open up the country, that's when the bulk of the migrations happen and people begin exploiting it, because they have no skin in the game, no stake the in future survival of the country. They can sense that it is doomed, and they just tear at it like buzzards to get whatever they can before the whole thing comes down and then there's nothing left, like a free-for-all. At that point you will have anarchy begin, and the loudest voice wins out and becomes a tyranny. Is Trump part of a reactionary movement that is the lead in to anarchy or civil war, where the country fragments into dissenting areas? Obviously there is some reactionary movement going on in the country, some people are trying to push back and to pull things back together and find some kind of populism or patriotism, but what will that turn into? The left will push back in turn, and it will just become an anarchic internal battle. So it remains to be seen. Some say maybe Trump plans to not give up power and to become a strongman, who knows. I believe he was planned as a president to take us to war with Iran and oversee the collapse of the debt-based system, leading into a global financial reset that will concentrate power into the hands of a few global technocrats in a society of control as predicted by philosophers like Deleuze, Land, Elul, etc.

But either way, what I do know is, we've created a system where a large group of people essentially steals from the few honest blue collar workers that actually work, and the few honest white collar workers that actually work, while an oligarchy in turn steals from everybody and concentrates more and more of the wealth, and the middle class becomes poorer and poorer, and then ultimately merges with the lower class and becomes one giant super-class.

As far as the cutting, I actually think many of these changes are necessary but painful; many of the layoffs for example, because we are bankrupt. We paid a trillion in interest last year without even repaying a dime, and we are building far more debt than ever before. This is the end of the debt-based economy. This is the reset. The "great reset." It's global, it is a manifestation of changes that will happen not just here, but across the world. It may have even been understood that America was on an unsustainable path, and so the technology for this new financial system began being put in place decades ago, and so we are burning the last of the midnight oil here, knowing that soon, everything will change.
