The embedded thread is a warning and quite accurate. Please read it all.
While it is an imaginative attempt at prediction, it accurately captures the political ambitions of the GOP in the US.

It’s called guided democracy.
All the appearance of choice, but the participation in voting changes nothing. Even in overwhelming popular votes. This is the electoral and political system Russia has used since Putin took power.

That is what is being engineered through gerrymandering, voter suppression, vote tampering and blatant cheating.
A tyranny of the minority.
An autocratic state controlled by theocrats, kleptocrats and oligarchs.

The embedded thread accurately portrays a plausible obstructionist future. This is the type of obstructionism planned by GOP Republicans in federal and state elections.
This is what politics has become. A fight for the survival of democracy.

David Frum was poignantly accurate. Conservatives have abandoned democracy because they cannot win a fair election.
There is no fair and free option for conservatives to win elections. Mathematically it’s impossible.
Conservatives are the minority of voters, of citizens.

With stealth planning and cunning execution, conservatives in the US and Canada have engineered continued electoral wins by rigging the system.

This method isn’t perfect. It still relies on free choice. It just resulted in Biden winning the presidential election. But the nightmare scenario detailed in the embedded thread is all too real a probability.
The ability to control governance no longer depends on winning.
The ability to control governance no longer depends on winning.
By GOP maintaining control of the Senate, Biden presidency will be obstructed from governing. Just like the Obama presidency was obstructed from governing. For 8 years. Great ideas, effective policy and smart legislation will be presented & blocked at all costs by the Senate.
The same concept is being used in Canada. Harper stacked the Senate with loyal sycophants. For any legislation to reach royal assent, the senate must approve it.
Harper appointed senators that blocked a strong LPC majority from passing much legislation in Trudeau’s first term.

With the help of hard core socialists and left libertarians in “progressive” opposition, progress was slowed to a halt. Followed with saturation of political discourse of accusations of LPC indifference to the public’s needs. Of course from both sides of political opposition.
Additionally, scandals were manufactured to “poison the well.”
This is a strategy. Repeated all over the globe in several nations by obstructionist and radicalized far right politicians in partnership with far left hard core socialists and left libertarians.

This is how the autocratic surge is being manifested. Using this strategy.
1. Undermine centrist progressive leaders/parties through smears and scandals
2. Populist pincer attack from far left and far right
3. Install far right autocrats in Senate
4. Dismantle democracy

The pattern is obvious if you know to look for it across the globe. But most citizens focus only on their own nation’s politics.
To observe the strategy, one must look beyond their borders and examine other political systems.
Bicameral political systems are being compromised.

It is the same political strategy modified to fit the politics of each location and it is being implemented globally. It is centrally coordinated, systematic and obvious if you examine global politics.

Justin Trudeau is a popular and charismatic leader. The public is attracted to name recognition & his public persona, his ease in communication with people in need and distress. He has honed his diplomatic skills well.
LPC chose an effective leader. As did most LPC supporters.

An advantage by growing up as the child of a former Prime Minister.
Trudeau is an innate leader. He has the skills & knowledge shaped by privilege & opportunity. The man could make giant leaps in progress in domestic & foreign politics, given the chance & support of a majority.

Which is why there is such a concentrated effort to sully his personal character and remove him from office.
He is not perfect. No leader is. Churchill was a drunk and a racist. Kennedy was a philanderer. MLKjr also cheated on his wife.
All people have flaws.

Waiting for perfection in a leader is futile. It doesn’t exist.
Leaders are human beings. Not demigods of perfection. That means they make mistakes & lapses in judgement occasionally. Democracy is a participatory governance system. When leaders make mistakes, the public opines.

But mistakes and poor decisions are not corruption. There is a vast difference between mistake filled leadership and obstructionism.
Alberta and Ontario are examples of how progressive majorities can be held at bay by manipulation of the mechanics of choice.

Many will pay with their lives or their lifelong health as conservatives obstruct an effective COVid response in those provinces.
Primarily because the electorate focusses only on prov/fed politics. Seeking relevancy in the cacophony of political opinions considered legitimate.

But are those decisions to promote the economy over public health really legitimate? Horgan, Kenney, Moe, Pallister, Ford & Legault all resisted implementing & enforcing COVid measures.
LPC and Dr. Tam were abundantly clear in May & June. Opening too soon would spread COVid.

The leaders of LPC progressive governance and the apolitical bureaucrats that support them warned that the second wave would be worse & cautioned against opening too soon. They have been recommending stringent measures for several weeks.

This strategy is detailed in Nancy McLean’s book “Democracy in Chains” and available for every person to read in detail how it was planned, coordinated, funded and executed originally in Chile by the dictator Pinochet in 1973. Helped by CIA & far right strategist James Buchanan.
When people (journalists, pundits, academics) make reference to the 1970’s when democratic politics changed, an an all out attack on western democracy, the welfare state and social contract was initiated, this is the event that sparked the autocratic revolution.
James Buchanan, in conjunction with Charles Koch’s funding, and support of Republican operatives, designed a strategy to lock “democracy in chains” so the will of the commons could not impact the wealthy, the powerful or the corrupt from carrying on with their profit making.
Buchanan formulated these strategies in the 1960’s in Virginia, USA. This strategy has since been perfected and exported globally. It has resulted in significant damage to global democracies.
Chile was the original test case.
Chile was the original test case.
Republican politicians and CIA operatives assisted Pinochet’s coup in 1973. Over then next several years, Buchanan assisted Pinochet in designing and ratifying a new constitution that limits the commons power to create progressive policy in perpetuity.
So it doesn’t matter if progressives win elections. They are legally restrained from changing policy that would impact the oligarchy and kleptocracy.
Pinochet hasn’t been in power for decades. But the constitution still restrains Chileans from making progress.
Pinochet hasn’t been in power for decades. But the constitution still restrains Chileans from making progress.
A form of this strategy has been used by dictators ever since. Lock in restraints in the constitution. Progress is halted altogether. Taxes on the wealthy are legally forbidden. Corporations can operate with unmitigated zeal. Progressives can complain, but cannot change outcomes.
That’s what US and Canadian far right are aiming to install. Total control through a democratic political system. A tyranny of the minority.
Voting remains free & fair(ish) but the constitution forbids any real changes that would alter the nation from free market conservatism.

That’s why we have 6 conservative premiers and desperate Conservative party looking to depose PMJT.
Conservatives need 7 premiers, a stacked senate and PM to alter the constitution.
Americans need 38 states, the senate and President.

Please open your eyes to the madness that has overtaken the globe.
Most of the world’s population is progressive. The majority of people reject extremism as well as far right or far left ideology.
Those on the far right have taken it upon themselves to reengineer humanity.

Sound crazy? Look at the evidence! Politicians on the far left and far right use disinformation and lies all the time. It’s an effort to fool enough of the electorate to vote in radical extremists so they can change the constitution.
Modern technology (social media and on line information) is being used to influence opinions, beliefs and values. People who are vulnerable to persuasion and coercion are being led blindly into political and religious cults (Evangelical faith & Q’Anon) and told how to vote.
People voting against their own interests and fuelled by hate, fear, disgust and rage.

The far right are Dominionist leaders. Democracy and the welfare state threatens the “establishment’s” wealth and power. Because the majority of people reject their rule.
Being a minority forced the Dominionists to create a path to perpetual victory.

Literally almost half of voting Americans are controlled by far right propaganda. A large contingent of far left are as well.
In Canada, slightly more than half of people support extremist ideology. CPC or NDP/GPC.
It’s a matter of time before CPC engineers a win.

Scandal after scandal is constructed and is damaging PMJT’s reputation. If it hasn’t shifted perception, it’s introduced doubt.
That’s all that’s needed to split progressives vote. And pave a path to conservative electoral victory.
It’s a matter of time.
