Well the Chinese proverb came true – we are indeed living in interesting times.
In the past, elections were won on policies or personality but as we enter the new era this one is all about energy and it’s been really interesting to watch its ebbs and flows.
First Trump was in Flow. He has a natural confidence, but this was boosted further by winning the debate with Joe Biden. Of course, he didn’t so much win, it was more that Biden lost.
Faced with Trump’s bombastic energy Joe seemed to shrink into fear, which is kryptonite for Flow. As he lost his words, he went into a state of self-doubt, high alert, and control, which made things even worse. (You can’t be in Flow and in Control at the same time).
Finally, Trump went in for the kill. “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence and I don’t think he knows what he said either.”
Trump isn’t burdened by fear of saying the wrong thing or the politically incorrect thing, so he can riff, go off script, and have fun. He amped up the bombast at his rallies.
Then he got shot.
However, being in a Flow state, (totally connected to the present moment) he was able to process in lightning speed the idea that this wasn’t just a gunshot – it was the money shot. He pushed back the Secret Service, raised his fist in the air, and waited for the click.
Like a rockstar, Trump was always able to manage the energy of a crowd of fans and whip them up into a religious fervour, but now (according to those fans) he had “God” on his side.
One peculiarity of Flow states is that they enable pre-cognition, so I’d call this synchronicity rather than God, but let’s not split hairs.
Next, Trump picks J.D. Vance as his V.P. Probably because… J.D. is big mates with his son; He’s more handsome than the rest of the candidates; He wrote a bestselling memoir that got turned into a movie. Oh the glamour!
These are questionable criteria for a running mate but no matter because Trump doesn’t even need a Veep – he’s got the election in the bag. He may as well choose a toady who’ll big him up and get the beers in.
So far so good. Then Joe Biden drops out of the race and Kamala Harris takes over. New injection of energy. She starts strong – energetic, competent, coherent. Now Trump, by contrast, looks old and slightly deranged. Memes emerge – The Prosecutor and The Felon. Kamala is rolling with the punches.
Kamala is in Flow.
J.D. Vance (probably trying to ape Trump’s style as a form of flattery) disses childless democrat cat ladies, on the basis that they’d have no reason to care about the future of the country.
J.D. Vance is not Trump so he can’t say crazy things and make them funny.
Flow favours authenticity not copying. It doesn’t care if you’re a saint or an asshole, as long as you’re an authentic asshole.
Caitlin Moran points out that honing in on Cat Ladies a bold move when the leader of Cat Ladies is none other than TAYLOR SWIFT. (Caitlin Moran is in Flow so consistently writes epic copy.)
Republicans are starting to look like Neanderthals who want to keep women in the kitchen making sandwiches while they do boy stuff…
Fighting to defend their gun collection against pacifists.
Fighting to defend their money against tax collectors.
Fighting to defend their sperm against abortionists.
As we leave this saga FOR NOW, Trump is possibly doubting his choice of running mate, wondering if it’s too soon to fire him… or maybe just firing off late-night DMs “I do the jokes”.
To be continued…
Interesting times indeed.
