If God forbid Kamala Harris becomes president, we can look to Europe to see the dystopian future that awaits the United States.

Some of the greatest tragedies in human history have come in the form of a surprise. The Trojan Horse, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11 are only a handful of examples in which one side thought outside of the box in order to attack an enemy. After the fact, everyone is the wiser, so if someone today said that there are concentration camps where thousands are murdered daily with prussic acid, we would not be surprised. In 1942, the inmates who escaped Auschwitz to tell what they saw and experienced—nobody believed that what they described was possible.

While some destruction comes in the form of surprise, other forms come as long, easily-anticipated processes that occur over decades or longer. If one wants to know what a Harris-Walz administration would look like, especially if Congress breaks for the Democrats, one need only look to Europe to see a horrible future for “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” As others have pointed out, Harris presently hides her real views in order to get elected. Suddenly, she is not against fracking or for mandatory gun confiscation. But everyone knows that if she said what she really believed, she would be behind 60 points in the polls. Everyone also knows that if she and her aw-shucks running mate are elected, they will rule with two left hands.

What will America be like if we inaugurate President Harris?

*Energy: The manic drive towards a green future based on the false premise that fossil fuels are causing devastating climate change will mean less reliable and more expensive energy. There will be an all-out push to get rid of the combustion engine, and electricity production will go from coal/natural gas/nuclear to wind/solar/waves. The latter are far more expensive, much less reliable, and do not have nearly the capacity for all of the electrical needs of the American populace. In Europe, they at least categorize natural gas as “green.” Otherwise, they have shut down many of their nuclear facilities, and the electricity price has increased by hundreds of percent in some of the more developed countries. There will be less energy available, it will be less reliable, and it will be far more expensive.

*Speech. The recent move by British police to monitor online comments and even arrest people for improper retweets or Facebook postings is no surprise. The basic premise of any Marxist/Socialist system is that the government knows best. Though parents have been bringing up children for ages, Michelle Obama—in justifying her foray into food served at school cafeterias across the country—said that even though she studied at Princeton and Harvard, she didn't know what proper food for children is. So we need the experts. And where the left sees the government as knowing best, the Founding Fathers believed that the people knew best and had their rights protected against a government like the present one in England. But expect under Harris that comments about trans being fake, COVID vaccines having safety issues, or any other officially unapproved thoughts to lead to suspension from a platform and possibly, as in England, a visit from the police. We have already gotten a taste of this future when a Texas nurse commented on the trans surgeries at her hospital. Two plainclothes FBI agents showed up on her front porch “to talk.”

*Education. Nowhere is the Communist ideal of “government knows best” realized more fully than with the children. In their day, Israeli kibbutzim were considered a perfect form of Communism. And part of the program had the children separated from their parents and living together in a children’s building. The parents had limited time with their beloved offspring, and as kibbutzim moved into new businesses, many members complained of the psychological damage done by this arrangement of taking the kids away from those who loved them most. We already see movements in California and elsewhere to keep parents in the dark as teachers and others push children into the trans lane and destroy their lives and future ability to have children. The children will be seen more as governmental property than beloved offspring, and parents will be pestered, threatened, and possibly jailed for looking out for the well-being of their kids. We have already seen that the highly political FBI felt that parents complaining at school board meetings about pornographic reading material in their children’s schools were categorized as domestic terrorists.

*Transmania. One of the hallmarks of Communism is making the dominated person say things which he absolutely does not believe. Threat of punishment, financial loss, jail or torture generally is enough for most people to simply say whatever their masters demand. Under Harris and the trans zealot Walz, trans will be forced down the nation’s throat. Today, if you do not go for the pronouns program, you get a scowl. Tomorrow, you will do time. We will all be forced to publicly acknowledge lies, such as some guy gorilla being a beautiful young woman. It will be taught in textbooks, and there will be no option out of being part of the trans freak show.

*Guns. Kamala Harris has made it clear that she supports mandatory gun buybacks. Sure, today she sings a different tune so as to get elected, but her gut tells her to take guns away from their rightful American owners. If one thinks that the courts, including a potentially modified or expanded Supreme Court, will save the day, that may be wishful thinking. On 19 January, 2025, you will be the owner of an AR-15, with the full protection of the Constitution. On 21 January, 2025, you will be given notice to sell your gun back to your local police or face confiscation and possible jail time. If the Brits had guns, they would not be having the police run over them as they are doing today. They will come for your guns. How that plays out is not clear, but over 300 millions guns are in private hands. I’d put my money on we the people.

There is no surprise for what Kamala Harris would want to do as president. She has temporarily changed her stripes, with the full backing of the robo-media, in order to present herself as a still cackling “moderate”. The American people should be aware of what is on the line if she is elected. Fewer freedoms, less choice, more policing and monitoring of you but not the real criminals, and expensive energy meaning a less expansive life.

A friend of mine said that he read my scribblings and that “it was an uphill battle”. I told him that it was, but because of the stakes, no one is given a free pass not to do his part. The future of the Republic is hanging in the balance.
