I am afraid that you are correct. I pray to God it does not happen or if it does then it will be short in duration and of low casualties, but I know this is improbable save Divine miraculous mercy. Please pray for the West and especially the USA of which I am an American Army veteran of both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and most of all for the decreasingly fewer good people who remain in these lands. May God bless you.

Unfortunately, some sort of dictatorship is essentially inevitable, followed by mass purges of an extremely violent kind. I say “unfortunately”, not because I have any great sympathy for the Leftists who will be first in line for them, but because a great many innocents will be caught up in the suffering as well.

This is a great response. Then the only least evil alternative is for the USA to have a right wing dictator like Augusto Pinochet of Chile or Fernando Franco of Spain if too few are good enough to vote which I hope is not the case. Both France and the USA gave universal men’s suffrage within a generation before or after the near universal draft of all men into the military which makes sense as if you are going to force a man into the military to drive crazy, capture kill, maim, mutilate or maim another person as well as seize or destroy things and be subjected to being driven crazy, captured, killed, maimed or mutilated etc. then you will have difficulty saying he has no right to vote and no right for any say in how his government is run.

I disagree with the property rights for voting like you do. I’d rather make like Robert Heinlein’s book, Starship Troopers, where only veterans have the right to vote.

I think a timocracy would probably be just fine – but not with the current crop of idiots running the US military. The people wearing stars and bars have never won a war in the past 80 years (Gulf War I doesn’t count, for fairly obvious reasons), and have rarely, if ever, pushed back properly against the insane ideas of the politicians running their own military institutions straight into the ground. And let’s not even get started about the not-vaxx mandates, the mandatory DIEversity training, and the substitution of CrossShit for actual fitness testing in the Army.

The takeaway from Heinlein’s book was that responsibility must equate to authority, so that voters understand they cannot simply vote for whatever they want, whenever they want, without a concurrent cost. The takeaway from the current, disastrous, state of the US military is that only people who are willing to sell their souls get above the rank of Captain, and only people who want to become lobbyists for Raytheon and Lockheed Martin get to flag rank. This was not what Heinlein intended.
