The Real Reset is Coming... Maybe...

Hope springs eternal, but the positive reset Victor Davis Hanson imagines taking place in November (scroll down for article) may not be the done deal he and others (like Steve Bannon) think it is. As I've argued repeatedly in the past, the demons of the Left who stole the 2020 election, installed an idiot in the White House and brought upon us the current national disaster are no fools. They can see the writing on the wall as well as the rest of us. Consumed by their arrogance and power lust and unbounded by any moral strictures, they, I believe, will do anything they possibly can, no matter how illegal or seditious, to keep themselves in power - including burning the house down if necessary.  

With the polls spelling doom for the Democrats as we approach the November election, the two most likely Leftist strategies, in my view, are (1) an attempt to repeat the Grand Theft Election they executed in November 2020 and (2) the ginning up of a crisis which they will claim justifies postponing the election "until things settle down". 

The first of those, another stolen election, is, in my view, much less likely this time around because most of the people are awake to what was done to them in 2020 and will be on guard against a repeat. I think the crisis scenario is more likely - say a new pandemic requiring the shutdown of everything, even elections, or a war with Russia that will throw the world into turmoil and be said to require a "temporary" interruption of the country's electoral processes.  

Hope I'm wrong. I hope the Left get their butts well and truly kicked in November and we get to watch them drag their sorry treasonous heinies off into the shadows licking their wounds for a generation. 

But, again, since these people are lawless seditionists and traitors who believe they have an absolute right to power and really don't give a damn about the country, I think there is no degree of damage they, driven by their power-lust, will be unwilling to inflict on us in their relentless pursuit of power. 

They will not go quietly into the night...

The Real 'Reset' Is Coming

By: Victor Davis Hanson

The Patriot Post

March 24, 2022

(Emphasis added)

President Joe Biden believes the Ukraine war will mark the start of a "new world order." In the middle of the COVID global pandemic, Klaus Schwab and global elites likewise announced a "great reset."

Accordingly, the nations of the world would have to surrender their sovereignty to an international body of experts. They would enlighten us on taxes, diversity, and green policies.

When former President Donald Trump got elected in 2016, marquee journalists announced partisan reporting would have to displace the old, supposedly disinterested approach to the news.

There is a common theme here.

In normal times, progressives worry that they do not have public support for their policies. Only in crises, do they feel that the political Left and media can merge to use apocalyptic times to ram through usually unpopular approaches to foreign and domestic problems.

We saw that last year:

ü fleeing from Afghanistan,

ü the embrace of critical race theory,

ü trying to end the filibuster,

ü pack the court,

ü junk the Electoral College, and

ü nationalize voting laws.

These "new orders" and "resets" always entail far bigger government and more unelected, powerful bureaucracies. Elites assume that their radical changes in energy use, media reporting, voting, sovereignty, and racial and ethnic quotas will never quite apply to themselves, the architects of such top-down changes.

So we common folk must quit fossil fuels, but not those who need to use corporate jets. Walls will not mar our borders but will protect the homes of Nancy Pelosi, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates.

Hunter Biden's lost laptop will be declared, by fiat, not news. In contrast, the fake Alfa Bank "collusion" narrative will be national headline news for weeks.

Middle-class lifestyles will be curbed as we are instructed to strive for sustainability and transition to apartment living and mass transit. But the Obamas will still keep their three mansions, and Silicon Valley futurists will insist on exemptions for their yachts.

In truth, we are about to see a radical reset - of the current reset. It will be a different sort of transformation than the elites are expecting and one that they should greatly fear.

The world and the United States are furious over hyperinflation that may soon exceed 10% per year. We will be lucky if it ends only in recession or stagflation, rather than a global depression.

The mess was created by the same apparat who bought into "modern monetary theory." That silly university idea claimed prosperity would follow vastly expanding the money supply, keeping interest rates at de facto zero levels, running huge annual deficits, piling up unsustainable national debt, and subsidizing workers to stay home.

Natural gas and oil costs are now soaring to unsustainable levels - and to the point where the middle class simply will not be able to travel, keep warm in winter, or cool in summer.

Both in Europe and the United States left-wing governments deliberately curbed drilling and non-Russian pipelines. They shut down nuclear power plants and subsidized costly, inefficient solar and wind projects. They ended up not with utopia, but with fuel shortages, high prices, and energy dependency on the world's most repressive regimes.

The woke revolution in the West was supposed to teach us that the "white male"-dominated Western world is toxic. Its origins, ascendence, and current leisure and affluence were supposedly due only to systemic exploitation, racism, and sexism.

Elites introduced cancel culture, doxxing, deplatforming, and social ostracism to shame these supposed exploiters and to destroy their lives and careers.

Few asked how a supposedly noxious West became the number one destination of millions of global non-Western migrants and offered the greatest degree of global prosperity and freedom for its citizens.

So a reset reckoning is coming - in reaction to the "new orders" championed by Biden and the Davos set.

In the November 2022 midterms, we are likely to see a historic "No!" to the orthodox left-wing agenda that has resulted in unsustainable inflation, unaffordable energy, war, and humiliation abroad, spiraling crime, racial hostility - as well as arrogant defiance from those who deliberately enacted these disastrous policies.

What will replace it is a return to what until recently had worked.

Closed and secure borders with only legal and measured immigration will return. Americans will demand tough police enforcement and deterrent sentencing, and a return to integration and the primacy of individual character rather than separatist fixations on the "color of our skin."

The public will continue to tune out of the partisan and mediocre "mainstream" media. We will see greater increased production of oil and natural gas to transition us slowly to a wider variety of energy, strong national defense, and deterrent foreign policies.

The prophets of the new world order sowed the wind and they will soon reap the whirlwind of an angry public worn out by elite incompetence, arrogance, and ignorance.
