Four Nullifications and a Divorce
A No Monarch Future of the New Right
Welcome to the second future of the week
Maybe you were not impressed with our last post advocating a democratic monarch. An American king sounds awful, and the people who could do it, they sound worse.
But how else to defeat the oligarchy? Didn't Curtis Yarvin tell us we need a king to end the current domination of The Cathedral? All this Deep Right shit is getting too complicated. You might be not so patient. TV-brain and all of that.
So think with us.
You may remember
High school history in the US teaches us about nullification, albeit briefly. Nullification means that in theory, a state could very easily disagree with the Supremacy Clause in the constitution. What if the 9th and 10th amendments obviated it, made it invalid? That's one to chew on.
The US Supreme Court has used two mechanisms to enforce the Supremacy Clause: Money and Soldiers.
States get lots of money from the federal government. Little sugar with the medicine. And when states defy the federal government (think Little Rock in '57) the army shows up and enforces The Law. But now, let's think more critically. Some states have lots of money, and can get plenty more. And some states have plenty of fighting men, and no need to hand them over to the federal army.
So, really think about this. Right now, if Texas or California really said, no, make me, could the federal government really do it? Do they have the will? The competence?
Let's work through a very organic, natural progression of events, some of it a little fanciful, whereby over the next 18 years or so, states force the hand of the federal government, maximizing states rights through vigorous, assertive action.
In a mere 18 years, we end up with a set of 50, highly autonomous states sharing a currency, an identity, a passport, and and a history, but answering to its decrepit and lame national government only when it made sense and acted in their interests.
There’s no divorce on paper. At the end, the Constitution is still in force.
But the marriage between states is over.
They’re sleeping in separate beds, even if they remain technically cohabiting.
Four Nullifications
2024
Donald Trump, Great MAGA King is re-elected handily. Vice President Zelensky, now president-in-exile of the former Ukraine and vice president.
A wave of mass shootings, the kind that make the news, rock New York. Approximately 500 are dead. All are as suspicious as the Stephen Paddock shooting, and everyone just stops asking questions simultaneously.
A week after the New York Minute Massacre, there is the nation's first New York State Complete Gun Ban. It does what it sounds like.
Lawsuits are filed by National Rifle Association, among others.
The National Rifle Association, et al v State of New York resolves in favor of the plaintiff. The ban is struck down, immediately.
New York continues to enforce the ban. Nothing else happens on this front. The government can’t force people to sell guns, after all, and it can’t stop police from doing their job so easily. After all, they have guns.
Trump is in North Korea, negotiating reunification on the peninsula. John Bolton has been publicly executed in Pyongyang as a sign of good faith.
Trump dies on a toilet in Pyongyang. He is given a state burial there and his remains are never repatriated. Vice president Zelensky seeks asylum in Poland, president pro tempore of the Senate Chuck Schumer becomes president, inaugurating new Democratic admin in October 2028
2028
Chuck Schumer is exposed as having Alzheimer's, does not resign. 25th Amendment is not triggered.
Texas passes a full medical transition ban. Hormone replacement therapy is only to be given for reasons of physical deformity or on express orders of a physician as part of a restorative therapy for a physical illness. Elective mastectomies are banned. Breast implants are to be given only to natal women. Elective radical genital plastic surgery is banned.
Medical transition ban meets with extreme censure, many lawsuits. American Civil Liberties Union v State of Texas resolves in favor of the plaintiff in a narrow 5-4 decision.
Chuck Schumer poops self during each debate. Amy Schumer, acting as a campaign surrogate and as VP on ticket, attempts to cover with joke about how she poops herself. It is not taken as a joke.
Ron de Santis wins 40 state sweep.
2032
Starting in 2029, after multiple states have followed suit in transition bans, California announces sanctions against these states. No goods manufactured or featuring significant content from these states will be allowed. All California based businesses are to cease businesses and financial transactions. Sanctions go into effect rapidly. President DeSantis is unable to persuade payment processors and tech companies to not do this.
No federal lawsuits escalate, Supreme Court refuses to hear the cases
New Black Star Movement formed in Michigan.
DeSantis-lead mediation fails. The humiliation all but destroys his domestic and international credibility.
Starved for food, energy, and water, California eventually negotiates settlement with Texas and uses this a model for other bilateral agreements.
Democrat Dwayne Johnson with VP Chelsea Clinton win presidential election.
2036
2034: Black people die tragically on camera again, provoking outpourings of money to NGOs and random gofundmes.
2035: New Black Star Movement, through revolutionary armed robbery in the tradition of Communist guerillas, has seized treasury of BLM, working with collaborators inside organization. Money is covertly used to buy up almost valueless land in Flint, Michigan.
New Black Star declares independence for a new Black Nation. Conservative governor of Michigan, Kyle Rittenhouse, declares he will not allow federal intervention in state suppression of the uprising.
Suppression takes most of 2036, is incredibly violent. Federal government is refused access, its help is not requested, drones and planes are shot down by state militias and national guard.
Dwayne Johnson wins reelection, the first two term president since Obama. Chelsea Clinton disappears, and is not seen in public again. Rumors circulate that a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay has had her executed. Are Patriots in Control?
A Divorce
2040
Tom Brady and Barron Trump compete in the last election a generation will remember
Tom Brady, the Democrat, loses narrowly in 3 states, and declares he will be vindicated in recounts.
Both sides are found to have cheated and a significant proportion of votes in many states are fraudulent. The Cheatriots meme is revived for a new generation.
A settlement is reached, and Barron Trump becomes the tallest president. It is what he is remembered best for.
At this point states conduct diplomacy and spurn federal government emissaries at will. The American Empire is looking Holy and Roman. More charitably, it’s looking like the EU. A currency union is governed by the Federal Reserve, and remains in effect. The federal government and bureaucracy have little credence outside of the greater NoVa area. Americans enjoy free movement amongst states, and ignore federal law and taxes as they will. American military might abroad is heavily privatized, with American PMCs dominant in Western Europe and the far South Pacific.
Cable news coverage of the election fiasco and inauguration are consistently beaten in ratings by 24/7 reruns of Rick and Morty.
The Next 22 Presidents After Barron
Bravo 🔥 really enjoyed this one, Ben.
