This election season has been crazy. At first, we thought it would be Commander Cheeto versus Grandpa Joe. Then, a dude took a shot at the former, and his popularity skyrocketed. It pumped me up.

Then the Democrat leadership (Obama, Pelosi, Jeffries, and Schumer) threatened a defiant Biden with the 25th Amendment since they couldn't hide his dementia anymore. They were losing money and popularity.

They crowned Kamala to be the heir-apparent.1

The day before this was set to publish Trump had another guy trying to take a shot at him.

One of them is going to lose, and the other side is going to be ticked. If the Democrats lose, they'll torch cities because that's what leftists do. I have the receipts.234

If they win, it's gonna suck because progressivism is regressive.

What can you do about it?

I say become antifragile. The less effect culture and society have on you, the better. Antifragility makes you stronger.

Coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder
