Totally agree with your story. A clash between these two in the next 6 months is really likely to happen
⊠or because really, âthere can only be oneâ.
Is the concern larger beyond that point, or during the phase before, the government-big corporate-billlionaires merger, a.k.a. a hallmark of f-cism?
Thatâs the essence of it, yes.
I put my hopes in the checks and balances of the US system, and separation of powers. Even with the Supreme Court in his pocket I canât see the US descending into fascism that easily. Their armed forces swear to protect the constitution against enemies both foreign or domestic, this may still have some value⊠But Iâm always an optimistic!

Yes, yes you did, and these billionaires own Trump now, until he realises it and ditches them, by which point they startâŠusing the methods that brought him to power against him.
Funny thing totalitarianism, intolerance, racism, disrespect of othersâ opinions⊠Once theyâre given a millimeter of space to breathe they rise up and choke the host.

I was thinking there wouldnât be a US debt ceiling crisis in January with a united White House, House and Senate but these people could still prove me wrong.

Theyâll be at each otherâs throats soon enough. Maybe Americans will realise how they were duped and go crazy. Maybe JPow will turn the printer on big time, maybe not.
My main point is beyond Trump, we have seen how sensitive investors and the market have become to anything other than unicorns and rainbows. I feel any serious jitter will cause a panicâŠwhich could be a great opportunity for some.

My stance is âalways be ready for a market panicâ but I donât hold my âhopesâ high: this market should have panicked itself into a long lasting crash quite a few times already and at all points, a new unicorn or rainbow arised to take it higher. This could continue for longer than I can stay solvent.

Clearly too much mainstream media consumption in this thread. I guess some of you were asleep during the last 4 years of Trump. Hint: We survived. Oh, and no new war started, which is also quite exceptional for the US. Oh, and stock market was also pretty good except when the Chinese virus arrived, which of course is also Trumpâs fault. But I am very much looking forward to the end of the world (again). 
Just amazingly funny how all of the sudden Musk and Zuckerberg become the bad guys, once theyâre no longer promoting far-left lunacy but instead, for example, free speech.
Also some serious TDS in here. Very fun to read.
FWIW, I donât expect this thread to be able to stay on track with the forum guidelinesâŠ

Indeed. The risk has materialized and now we have to live with it. I am closing this thread.
