I am afraid of Donald Trump.
I have never been afraid of any political leader in my fifty four years of life apart from Aldolf Hitler. And he was dead before I was born. But as a child I read up on Hitler (in those days there was no interweb I had to go to my public Library and ask my mum to put my Hitler historical books on her library card.
The reason I feared Hitler was because he was a mass murderer psychopath that persuaded millions of good people in his country and other countries that it was okay to sit back and watch because he was not going for white people first, just some white people he did not like. So Hitler scared me because he fooled good people, so even as a Kid I realized the jeopardy the future risk that could happen again.
Donald Trump offers the same fears for me.
When he first came along I had zero interest in US politics and therefore did not even care, I just thought he was a laugh and everyone would see him for the boring psychopath he is, and that no one important would buy into his rhetoric.
My naivety was colored by my work experience. I spent almost three decades in forensic Psychiatry working with psychopaths mostly, killers, rapists, gang leaders, pedophiles, or people with severe mental illness's that did horrific things to others. The other sub group I worked with was giant human beings who went nuts and splattered anything in their way, including when they were jailed, some splattered whole teams of prison guards, so they were sent to my super max unit because they were too dangerous for prisons.
What my life experience coloured and blinded me to, is that America is so sick as a society that a psychopath like Trump would even get into power, and worse when he tried to incite an insurrection that Americans would storm their Parliament and try to kill the members of Govt. More fool me, I just thought that was the kind of thing maybe five hundred nuts at worst would do as morons who are redneck white power inbreds.
But I was wrong, there are millions of dumb monkeys in the US who will follow the leader and bend to the will of the boring psychopath I mistakenly dismissed what I thought was too stupid for anyone intelligent to support.
If Trump and his dystopian Fascist 2025 manifesto comes to pass I want to focus on what that means for New Zealand.
Under an American dictatorship all its allies will have to fall into line or face the full wrath of the empire. This is the lesson of history learned by all allies of dictatorships. If you are an Allie to a superpower dictatorship you automatically become a vassal state of that power, in other words New Zealand would be colonized by its alliance to the US in the same fashion of other small states under a Dictatorial model.
At the moment we are a key global network spy base for the United States. Merely due to our geographical postilion, our current US spy bases give the US and extended network into as far South as south goes.
The next attractive proposition of New Zealand for a Fascist US empire is as a escape from Nuclear fall out. Which is why US Billionaires are building shelters in New Zealand because we are the furthest out post North of Antarctica from an all out thermal nuclear war.
This a jewel few other places on earth can offer. We are far enough from the main target of a world nuclear war in the southern hemisphere to offer shelter (the main target in a dooms day scenario in the Southern Hemisphere is Australia). New Zealand is likely to be the best option for the power brokers of a US Fascist Govt to fly to for cover in a unconstrained Donald Trumpian dictatorship dystopian melt down.
If we are therefore the Greenland of the world (as in the movie Greenland) and it seems we are since people like James Cameron have moved here permanently while many MAGA moguls have brought bunkers here and the market for them is hot with cheap bunkers being bought for three million versus the biggest US names buying bunkers in Otago for eight million US this year.
So if we are their escape plan (it is no longer an if, we have multiple companies marketing to the scared of Trump Billionaires and the MAGA billionares) then what will our American survivalists want from our political system?
Obviously in a dystopian Trump Verse the United States will colonize this country in the same way they colonized the valuable Pacific jewel that is Hawaii and stole it from Hawwaiians.
First the Trump empire will declare New Zealand change its anti Nuke policy on fear of invasion. Trump will demand we prove we are friend and not foe.
Next the Trump dictatorship will establish multiple US millitary bases in New Zealand in the same way they converted Hawaii a non US island into their pacific fleet base.
Then in the same way they took Hawaii off the Hawaiins they will declare that NZ is a new state of the United States.
Think about it. If all their billionaires have bought bunkers here, do you think they will accept being under a NZ political identity?
No way, they will lay the ground work before pushing the Red button to make sure their escape bolt hole in NZ is already US territory.
When New Zealand had a covid breach during our border closure, Trump raced to the lecturn to declare that New Zealands model as compared to his Covid management was a complete fail, Trump gleefully said New Zealand was having a massive outbreak which proves their lock down mentality was wrong.
Well we know the truth in this country because we are not gasslit morons like MAGA, when Trump told those lies about our country we had seven cases. That lying sack of....will take this country and that will be it.
kiwis supporting Trump the dictator need to look up how Hawaii was stolen from the Hawaiians because of it's size, it has deep harbors, and its location (it was supposed to be far enough away to prevent a conventional attack).
In the case of Hawaii it was not a case of letting the Americans build bases there (they had no choice, the US was gonna take their island no matter what,and that was the nice Americans, imagine what the nasty Americans under Trump would do to this place to ensure their investment in Otago Bomb shelters saw their elites emerge in their political system not ours).
A lot of racists turn a blind eye to Trump in New Zealand and other non US territories, but I wonder how they would feel about being forced to be American conquests as part of their acquiescence? maybe they are cool with it as long as White supremacy reigns in which case I say you are a traitor to the Southern cross and should move to the US .
