First, I would suggest you read this.

As you will note from that, I have been a published writer for 62 years, and I am very highly thought of. In particular, you will note that many state that I am right, that I read the trends well, and that I see what few see.
Next, I would quote to you, something about my process, from a doctor who spent all day testing me. The first test was a glorified 5-hour IQ test which I did in 90 minutes, and which she said I was off the graph, and that I fitted all the rare categories.
Here’s what she said about my process.
“Tessa shows an exceptionally high level of intellectual functioning. She obtained a balanced profile in the sense that both analytical and integrative functions are highly developed. She shows a tendency to synthesize new information into already existing information structures and therefore acquires new knowledge with ease. She tends to work with detail and precision, consistently looks for logical evidence to verify her conclusions and follows her arguments through in a disciplined manner. Although she also shows the potential to use language creatively, logic usually takes priority. The most outstanding characteristic of her profile is the ability to work with conceptual clarity in a completely fuzzy, vague, or unfamiliar environment.”
I hope that is sufficient for you to rethink what you said to me.
I lived in a police state for most of my life, and since then I have spent 11 years in America and another 20 in various EU countries plus substantial time in the UK. I would call North Korea a dictatorship, and various Islamic countries dictatorships. I would say that I have considerably more international knowledge than you have.
I would not call a country where people vote, however badly the people vote, or however skewered the democratic system is, a dictatorship.
As you can see from the ‘about’ section, the last thing I defer to is popular opinion. Also considering that I was one of the top 1000 writers in 2021 on this platform, and that I have lost considerable traffic because I DO NOT FOLLOW POPULAR OPINION, I think your assumption is not only without evidence, but without study.
The American constitution should have been rewritten many years ago. It is outdated. Even South Africa has a better one that that – it is considered the best constitution in the world. However, despite it being the best constitution in the world, politicians seldom pay much lip service to constitutions. I have never understood their worth.
I have seldom been late to understand anything politically. In fact, like my late father, I have been ahead of the curve.
Yes, most certainly, the American people wanted change. You have a number of problems. The most problematic is your culture. You have been told from birth that you can do anything you want, have anything you want – if only you would work hard and believe. And then too many of you found that it wasn’t happening. So you have a lot of mental illness in the States. Mental illness is a huge problem in the States. In addition, you don’t travel internationally, so you spend enormous amounts of money on your military, interfering in the business of other countries, and being in a state of war.
Even Chomsky said that interfering in Ukraine was a bad idea.
Most people voted for Trump for the following reasons.
1. They voted against DEI, trans, woke in general.
2. They voted against Biden economic policies because Biden and Harris thought that Modern Monetary Theory worked, and they could spend as much money as they liked, and it wouldn’t cause rapid inflation. It did.
3. Both Biden and Harris lacked vision, and they were clearly mentally incompetent.
4. They did not want America to send weapons to Ukraine, and they supported Israel.
I’m sorry that you think so little of your country men, and that you didn’t bother to follow the conversation on X, Threads, Blue Sky, and Post. I did. I’m also sorry that you didn’t read the international media. I would suggest Wion (India), Africa News (most of the African countries), South China Morning Post (Hong Kong), Guardian, Daily Mail, Independent (UK), Der Spiegel and DW (Germany), and France 24 (France). It would have given you a far broader perspective.
I have no idea what will happen to the world in the next ten years – not exactly, but I suspect the following:
1. The interference of NATO in Ukraine will cause WWIII, and Russia will use nuclear warfare.
2. Islamic Jihad will continue to make inroads. The UK will fall to it. Germany and France will not be far behind, even though most countries in the EU are now waking up and closing their borders.
3. The US may have a lucky rescue due to Trump getting his wars right, but it may also find increased internal violence, increased mental illness, a lot of people getting substantially poorer as the dollar continues to lose its reserve status (BRICS), a complete circus as Trump’s mental state continues to disintegrate and he and Musk ravage the treasury. Israel will have a lucky rescue, and Ukraine will give up half its land in order to acquire peace.
4. Climate change, which is not possible to stop (this should have been done 50 to 70 years ago) will increase its pace and major cities will begin to be destroyed.
5. I doubt that project 2025 will come to fruition in its entirety. There would be too much of an outcry long before that.
6. I could go on, but too much time.
I would suggest that Americans don’t move to Ireland – it’s a really shitty country. Despite being placed as one of the wealthier countries in the EU, it has few facilities, and there is no housing. As I have a number of passports, it’s easier for me to relocate than most, but most Americans (I am not American, despite attending college there and having lived there for more than decade) will not find that easy.
The only thing I am planning on doing is sitting watching this circus. I have spent my life issuing warnings. It is now too late. #
Popcorn, please.
Oh, yes, and before you attempt to lecture someone, it is advisable that you google them, read their stuff, and find out a bit more about them.
