55D Compliance Chess?

Ah yes, trust the plan. first there is a plan.  It just never had a thing to do with Trump.  He was recruited as figure head because he was good at just that.  Then i think he was cut lose last january to push his  form of STUPID.

There is a lot to detect out of sight.  Understand Canada is organising a global trade commonweallth which is something well understood.  This will be a real global system preserving regional sovernies.  Call it the coalittion of the willing and most tarrifs will disappear.

All this soon leads to a massive global reformulation in which so called superpowers are taking a much lower profile.

It still does not impliment the Rule of Twelve.  that still is in our future.

55D Compliance Chess?

An awful thought occurred to me yesterday – one I hope is just my own late-night mental meanderings and not somehow in congruence with “the plan” that I hope no one reading this still “trusts.”

It is this:

What if Trump’s plan is to generate such a backlash that when he and everything associated with him is flushed out of office come 2028, the agenda – the one planned for 2030 we used to hear a lot about – will become a fait accompli? It is why I am typing this at 2:30 something in the morning.

It keeps me up all night.

Think of how this plan might work as regards the car situation. Trump has “rolled back” certain federal requirements and the fines applied for not complying with them. Specifically, federal fuel economy (CAFE) requirements. He has also talked about dialing back federal “emissions” requirements, which nowadays have mostly to do with carbon dioxide “emissions” that do not have anything to do with air pollution. He has ended the federal tax subsidy for EVs and that has helped to crater the “market” for EVs.

But he has not eliminated any of the federal regulatory bodies – such as the EPA and DOT – that issue the regs. In other words, what he has done is something along the lines of chaining a dangerous dog – with a chain that’s weak enough the dog could snap it at some future point.

He has not put the dog down.

The people running the car companies know this. They know, in other words, that the regulatory pressure that forced them to produce an array of compliance technologies and compliance vehicles hasn’t been eliminated, but merely abated. Probably temporarily. It places them in an untenable position. Right now, they are stuck with piling up inventories of loss-leading EVs and plug-in hybrids that their dealer networks can’t sell – at least not without losing money on each “sale,” by fire-sale discounting the things. Several – such as Stellantis – have pulled the plug on some of these models. They now rush to get to market with vehicles the market might want, such as Chargers with engines and Ram trucks with V8 engines.

But what will happen three years hence if Trump’s brand of whatever-it-is gets hosed by the electorate, as has already happened in state-level contests as in my home state (Virginia) where the Trump candidate – Winsome Sears – was rejected by almost double digits in favor of a person – Abigail Spanberger – who is champing at the bit to further the agenda?

It is not hard at all to imagine – in the wake of a 2028 blowout election that sends JD Vance back to the holler from which he emanated (one wishes; in fact he will do what they all do when they lose, which is to become even richer by suckling up close to some corporation that will pay him handsomely for being a “consultant” and of course for speeches, which is a way to buy these people legally) and a newly resurgent Left re-imposing everything Trump “rolled back” and then some.

The people, broke and broken, will beg for it – and those opposed to it will be demoralized and drowned by the swell of anti-Trump outrage, which will serve as a mandate for anti-liberty politicians of the Left, who will thank Trump for his services on his way out.

We’ll be lucky if we’re allowed to buy $70,000 electric cars by 2030.

The ol’ Hegelian dialectic in action.

An EPA/DOT headed by someone in the mold of Pete Buttigieg could reimpose the 50 MPG mandatory minimum CAFE requirement just like that – presto – because the architecture to do so still exists. Why not 80 MPG? There could be carbon taxes, too – also presto – because (once again) the architecture exists to presto them into existence.

Why hasn’t Trump – if he’s for real – ended the EPA/DOT’s power to emit regulations? Perhaps because he is for real.

Just not in the sense most of the people who voted for him thought he was.
