79 - 2024 Election Reactions (John D & Tolon Lijoi)
Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.Today I’m joined by my friends Tolon Lijoi and John D, as we react to the 2024 election results. Tolon explains why he is more optimistic than he’s ever been about politics, despite his qualms with Trump’s first administration. John highlights the issues around which Republicans coalesced, including illegal immigration. We discuss the lack of substance in the Democrat’s policy platform, and the widening gap within the American electorate since the COVID pandemic.We consider the hypocrisy of the Russiagate collusion narrative relative to the corruption of Biden’s family in Ukraine, including the suppression of Hunter Biden’s laptop. Next, we consider the failure of the Afghanistan withdraw and the disastrous handling of the Ukraine War. We question what happened to the anti-war left, and why the “my body, my choice” advocates were silent to the coercion used during the mRNA vaccine rollout. We consider the role played by blackmail in this election cycle, and whether there is significant overlap in the Diddy/Epstein lists relative to the elites who endorsed Kamala Harris.Next, we discuss the craziness of the mid-summer election period. Over two weeks, Donald Trump narrowly avoided assassination. Shortly thereafter, his opponent, Joe Biden, was replaced by a candidate, Kamala Harris, in an effective coup led by Democrat party elites & their donors. We then consider the information gap for the election between those on X versus those who get their news from the legacy media.From there, we discuss the development of wokism, victim mentality, and statism. We discuss declining birth rates, the attack on the nuclear family, inflation and the income tax. We get into pardons for Russ Ulbricht, Julian Assange & Edward Snowden and the impact of tariffs. We consider Bitcoin, whether the USD could be strengthened by holding crypto reserves in treasury, and the dangers of CBDCs.Next, we discuss climate change, the control of energy, and the strengths of nuclear power. We talk about the shift in the youth vote to the right, and how this was impacted by the Free Palestine protests on college campuses. We consider how the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will play out, and the dangerous behaviors exhibited by certain individuals during the pandemic.From there, we discuss the role Libertarians played in the election, how their influence can be seen in the modern Republican party’s platform, and whether the landscape is opening for a third political party. We talk about the issues of corporate consolidation, oligopoly and regulatory capture and discuss how we can fix our food supply. We consider the impact of gentrification and the rise in housing prices. We end the conversation on overcoming “black pilling”, concerns we’d had about civil unrest related to the election, and an optimistic outlook for the future of America.This Outro is titled “DJT for the Win!
