XIII. Chaotic Populism of Globalism vs. Nationalism Cycle (2009-?)

XIII. Chaotic Populism of 

Globalism vs. Nationalism Cycle

[? Terms]
Major Parties: Democrats, Republicans
Presidents: (D) Barrack Obama, Joe Biden (R) Donald Trump
Vice Presidents: (D) Joe Biden, Kamala Harris (R) Mike Pence

Dominant Issue: Globalism vs. Nationalism, or better put, National Sovereignty. The symbolic dividing line is illegal immigration. 

Trump

The anti-establishment Populism reached a peak in the 2016 primaries as Trump ran as an anti-establishment Populist with a Conservative bent and knocked the establishment on their trat end and Bernie Sanders ran on the Democrat side as an outsider Populist with a Liberal bent and nearly did the same.
Events: War on Terror, Afghan Debacle of a Withdrawal, Recession, COVID-19, Lockdowns, Big Tech

Biden

Censorship, Riots of summer of 2020, Claims of Election Fraud 2020, so-called Jan. 6, Trump Impeachment, Russia Hoax, Hunter's Laptop, record Inflation, record Gas Prices, Border Crises, Killing of Libyan Qaddafi, IRS Scandal of Obama, Chinese Spy Balloons, Black Lives Matter, The Tea Party, The Occupy Movement, Obamacare, Gay Marriage, Uranium One Deal of Hillary Clinton, Loss of U.S. Petro Dollar status, In & Out of Iran Deal, Trump crosses DMZ in North Korea, Abraham Accords, Ukraine, ISIS, Maui Fire, Hurricane Helene & Ohio Train Derailment, In & Out of Paris Climate Accords, Supply Chain Crises, Gas Lighting (of smears of "Misinformation, Conspiracy theorist & Hate Speech"), Selfies, Trump Assassination Attempts, Biden 2024 Debate Debacle

--Democrat Party Factions: Establishment Liberal Democrats (who are socially and economically liberal but in bed with Wall Street and are the ones who smack AOC and Sanders down in public.

Obama

Also, Globalists and Statists). 

Woke Left Democrats which stand for 3 things--Cultural Marxism (Cancel Culture, Censorship and Social Justice Warriors) Eco-Fascism (Green New Deal) and Economic Socialism (like when Sanders says, "I'm a Socialist" and they cheer). When it comes to Globalism they are divided--some support Globalism to export their social and environmental agenda and some, more from the Occupy.

Movement roots, oppose Globalism.

The roots of the Woke Left trace back to Howard Dean's Presidential bid in 2004 when he used the rise of social media to gain a woke type following among young Millennials. Obama picked that up and expanded it with his charisma and drew in minorities. Sanders came along and blended in the Occupy Movement and Socialist rhetoric.

--Republican Party Factions: The Republican triangle --collapsed midway through the Cycle. Now there are the Moderate Establishment Republicans (who are socially center-right and

Trump

economically Conservative. They are Globalist and Statist--this last part stemming from the tradition stretching back to the Eisenhower years. They don't want to rock the boat and make major changes)

The Populist Right Republicans who stand for 3 things--Lower Taxes, Less Government and Defense of one's Constitutional Rights.

They morphed out of the Anti-Establishment movement that feels betrayed by the leadership that won't fight for anything. It came to a head in 2016 as Trump tapped into that Anti-Establishment brewing sentiment--both within the Party and at the National level as well (his "Drain the Swamp" slogan) with support from the Tea Party movement and defeated the Establishment (both within the Party and and in the general election).

Trump took the Tea Party and morphed the Republican base around it.

3rd Parties: At this point this Cycle hasn't produced a major 3rd

Trump - Kennedy - Biden

 party run. But if this Cycle continues another term based on this election--we may have one, or even two.

Democrat Bobby Kennedy Jr. is dropping out of the Democrat race before it even begins to run as an independent. In the very first Poll out he is Polling 14%. More than enough to be a major 3rd Party candidate. We'll see what he ends up with.

Also, the Black Professor Coronel West, the Black Lives Matter

West

 activist, is running for Green Party nomination. In Polls he is at 4%. We'll see what he ends up with, whether or not he can break the 5% threshold for a major 3rd Party or flip an electoral vote entity, such as majority black Washington D.C. 

End of Cycle: to be seen.... If Trump or any Democrat, whether Biden or a replacement if he drops out such as Harris, Warren or Newsom wins, then this Cycle will go into its 5th term....But if any other Republican wins, such as DeSantis, then we will likely be

Biden

entering a new Cycle, a new Conservative break Cycle akin to the Laisse-fair Roaring 20's, Caretaker "I Like Ike" or Reagan-Bush 80's Cycle to calm things down.

After the War on Terror, fears of War with Nuclear Russia, Deep state Soft Coup Attempts, Recession, Inflation, Gas Prices, COVID Lockdowns and Mask Mandates, Censorship and Gas Lighting, Riots, Crime Wave, Hunter's Laptop Corruption and both Cynism and the Culture Wars burning hotter than the last "culture War cycle" itself---either in 2024 OR in 2028 people will want what Harding offered in 1920-- "A Return To Normalcy".

***Now looking ahead to 2028, or if Trump is aced out in 2024 for a

DeSantis - Haley

variety of reasons, could our next cycle be a Conservative Cycle of DeSantis/Haley?

There are a variety of factors still in play that could knock both Trump and Biden out. From legal woes for both men to age. We shall see.

DeSantis - Dixon

OR possibly DeSantis/Dixon 2028?

(Dixon being the Secretary of Education under a 2nd Trump term or Governor of Michigan as a result of the midterm of 2026 during a 2nd Biden term resulting in a Republic wave---since Haley did srious damage to her chances in 2024's primary season).

Hotly Contested Election of Cycle:

2016:

In the above counties map (R) Trump is in reddish and (D) Clinton is in Blueish.

The election saw outsider populist Trump beat the establishment in

the Republican primaries and Independent Senator Bernie Sanders do nearly the same in the Democrat primaries.

Trump would go on to beat the overall establishment in the general election with his slogan "Drain the Swamp".

Nearly all analysts were predicting a Hillary Clinton victory that would give the Democrats both Houses of Congress. Instead, Trump found a path to victory and Republicans held both houses of Congress.

-Note of Interest--

A Soft Coup was attempted by a cabal of the "deep state". Several FBI and Justice Department officials working on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign Lied to Federal Judges to get FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. The motive seems ro have been to get any dirt to pass on to Hillary's campaign. After Trump found a path to victory--and became a duly elected

American President, they then leaked out their investigation for the "where there's smoke there's fire" attack with willing accomplices in the press. It eventually fell apart. Many got caught, one even confessed to a Federal Judge he changed CIA communications to use to Lie to a Federal Judge for a warrant. The special counsel Mueller Report found no Russia Collusion by Trump---despite ALL the Lawyers on his investigative team being donors to Hillary. Then the IG's Report uncovered much corruption at the FBI followed later by the Durham report that found no connection between Trump and Russia, in fact, some things uncovered include that an IT guy for the Democrats set Trump up with a fake connection to Russian sites.

And yet no one went to prison---further feeding the cynicism of the times---as America split into 2 groups--one with rules for the elites and another for the rest of the country.
