Welcome to a discussion about the upcoming 5th Revolution in the US, which I’ve titled the “Revenge Revolution.” For more about the Revenge Revolution and the author, click “About the Author” tab.  Periodically I write a “sense check” to assess whether a revolution in the US is possible or whether the entire exercise is based on a statistical aberration — i.e., a roughly 50-year cycle between major upheavals in the US. The previous “sense check” was ENTRY #500.

BEGIN #505: Writing entries for this blog has allowed me to analyze and address a range of topics. Virtually all topics have been related to a possible 5th US Revolution, the Revenge Revolution.  The past six months, and especially since the beginning of the 2024 calendar year, finding a topic other than the absurdity of the behavior of Trump and the Republican lemmings, has been difficult.

While not alive during the period, the statements by Trump must be similar to that of the days in the 1930’s in Germany leading up to Hitler’s election and the early days thereafter.  The similarities go beyond Trump using the same words or phrases as Hitler. The similarities include absolute brainwashing of a substantial part of the population who cheer Trump’s every move.

In addition, Trump and allies, much like Hitler, are openly attempting to destroy all checks and balances in our democracy – at the Federal, state and local levels. Trump is open about wanting to be a dictator and his supporters seem excited about having someone as president who can “fix all the problems in society.”  Part of the “ultimate solution” being espoused by Trump is to deport, or maybe to destroy, all people other than those whose heritage is white western European.  “You know, we need to get rid of ‘those people’ who are poisoning the blood of true Americans.”

During political rallies Trump salutes and praises the January 6 insurrectionist, vowing to pardon them if elected. He also recently claimed that any Jew who didn’t vote for him must hate Judaism and Israel.

Unfortunately, the Trump insanity will continue to escalate as the campaign continues and key Republicans and many Christian leaders bow down to their replacement god. Maybe the logo of the Republican Party should become the golden calf – maybe an orange calf would be more appropriate. 

 The next few months will be a severe test of the US legal system. Trump has lost significant civil cases with substantial penalties – E. Jean Carroll, $90+ million, and the fraud case in New York State, $500+ million and counting.  He also faces a plethora of criminal charges  in Manhattan and Georgia.

Executing judgments from these cases and protecting people who have been involved, even innocent jurors and law clerks, will be difficult.  Few well-trained mental-health professionals doubt that Trump is mentally unhinged. The execution of the legal judgments – loss of financial assets and possibly some jail time – will put him in the total looney-bin category.

Executing the judgments likely will also unleash a number of supporters who will try and take revenge on the public and politicians. January 6 was a mere rehearsal.

My view and hope is all the turmoil around Trump gets resolved before the election, and certainly before the inauguration. The only solution to avoid widespread chaos and attempted retribution is to ensure that Trump is not able to takeoff office, should he be elected. “That’s all folks!”
