BREAKING: Trump Wins 2024 Election
Wins popular vote by between .7 - 1.7% and over 300 Electoral College votes — Republicans win House & Senate.
Trump runs the election table.
It's time now to immediately start thinking about what Trump’s victory means. Huge? Yes, it could change a lot. And not just in America. The world might turn. To MAGA who remember Reagan: Is it morning again in America?
Suddenly, the year 2025 has a lot of questions to answer.
Now that it has won for Trump his final term as President, will MAGA declare victory and dissolve? Or will it get bigger? Maybe Trump’s Make ‘America Great Again’, could become a worldwide populist movement in the next four years? It may have already started, of course. Javier Milei in South America. Nigel Farage and the Reform movement in the UK. Opposition to Trudeau is growing in Canada. Populist right movements all over Western and Eastern Europe are gaining ground. May MAGA grow into a world-changing International Populist Right movement?
To at least one segment on the right, Trump is just another government goon. A Uniparty politician. Not substantially different from Harris or Biden. Does his 2024 victory, and the possible emergence of a worldwide populist right movement, change that? Is Trump's victory really a MAGA Populist victory? Or just a Republican victory? Doubtless the mainstream Uniparty Republicans will claim his victory as theirs. Is it? What will Trump do? What will Trump be? The leftists said he will be Hitler. Some on the right say that he will just be another politician. But what will happen?
Already today, the Wall Street Journal asks for the first time: What will the leftist do if Trump wins? As of course, we know, he does.
In the article, titled “How a Splintered Left Is Preparing for a Possible Trump Victory” the WSJ asks, “By now America is well versed in the predictions of the political right’s potential response should Donald Trump lose on Nov. 5: Anxiety boils about another stop-the-steal effort to contest the outcome. Far less scrutinized: How might the left reckon with a Kamala Harris defeat?”
We can predict the answers.
Dangers and Threats: Outside and In
• Threat from the left. The leftists basically have two choices.
1. They can fall back, regroup, and begin to work on a strategy for the off-year elections of 2026 and the presidential election of 2028. They could choose to move toward the center. More likely, the farthest left part of the party — the Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren wing — will take the opportunity to move the Democrats even farther left. If that’s possible.
2. The Dems can take drastic action to try to unseat Trump. They can attempt a coup in his first few months in office. They already have a plan to do this. An ambush like the one that the UK leftists used to unseat the rightist Prime Minister Liz Trump after only 44 days in office. We wrote about this in our Substack “A Biden Conspiracy Theory You Haven’t Heard Yet”.
Threat 2, from the Right
• The ideological right who oppose Trump. The right is diverse. Some purists will believe, as the leftists claimed, that Trump is Hitler Jr, or that Elon Musk is secretly in league with the Rothschilds and the Freemasons, or that MAGA Christians (or all Christian, as some libertarians believe) are deluded morons, or whatever. What position will Ron/Rand Paul et al take? Is it possible that MAGA Americans; Austro-Libertarian AnCaps, tech billionaires, rightwing Jews, and evangelical Christians can find enough things join to agree long enough to roll back the leftists’ recent gains? If not, many on the right will oppose Trump, and make his administration becoming a larger rightist movement impossible.
• The threat from the Uniparty RINOs. The ex-Never-Trumpers. They will try to insinuate themselves into any populist, pro-freedom movement, pretending to support the government-reduction initiative. But in reality, they will be trying to take over the movement and co-opt it for their purposes. I.e. Bigger and more powerful government. Just as they succeeded in doing to the Tea Party movement.
• The Marxist fake populists. They will try to undermine the goals and principles of the MAGA right by surreptitiously replacing them with Marxist principles. In the past, many of the best rightists have been ex-ardent-leftists: Thomas Sowell, Ronald Reagan, David Horowitz, and more. Now, many leftists are converting to the right: Robert Kennedy Jr, Russel Brand; Tulsi Gabbard, and more. Are they all sincere in their new beliefs? Or do they just sense a change in the air, a new wind blowing from the right against the left? And do they intend to sabotage and exploit the success of MAGA for the purposes of leftism? It's happened before.
Fellow rightists, please beware of voices crying out that “capitalism”, not government, is the enemy. And who claim that government is inherently good, and only bad and corrupt because capitalists have “bought” it. It’s a clever Marxist lie that a surprising number of people on the right have fallen for. The truth is that government is not good, and businesses do not control it. If businesses controlled the government, it would work a lot better than it does. The truth is that government controls the businesses. And any real rightist movement will want to change that. And put it back to the way it should be.
Do we have a crystal ball called ‘Systemalism’? Maybe.
The MAGA right hope that Trump’s big victory is an historically momentous event and it will change America and the world, and maybe they are right. Whatever does happen, Rightful Freedom will be on top of the events of 2025, if possible before they happen and before others see them coming. So please subscribe. We need your feedback and participation, as the new future unfolds. You can help make this happen.
Perhaps the biggest danger is from the fact that Trump isn't completely populist. He still likes Santa Claus tax cuts, even though we are running astronomical deficits. The old populist right knew that deficit spending is a subsidy for oligarchs. Trump needs some nudging, but few are out to tell the unpleasant truth.
(Pressure to import taxpayers will continue as long as we run gigantic deficits without adulting into the knowledge that we need government cuts and tax increases.)
Well, Michael, we'll know in a week. An undisputable win is what we need. Ambiguity could lead to chaos. Rome emerged stronger under Augustus after a century of instability, but the zealously guarded Republic was dead. Anything is possible.
