  content: I started this article a couple months before the election when I posted analysis warning that Kamala was a very weak candidate for president and a bunch of people on here said I was out of touch, living in an alternative universe, and full of shit. I figured a record of what probably happened would make sense, and I'm finally releasing it on the week we know who won (I've already posted a similar post on my main fediverse account, hence the separation into sections since this is one of the longest posts I've ever written on the Fediverse and I know it wouldn't federate well there). A bunch of the electorate will be totally confused because they fail the important axiom of Sun Tzu: "Know your enemy and know yourself and you will win 1000 battles" -- they don't know their enemy and they don't know themselves, so they lose. There's a chance it doesn't even federate properly because this is by far the longest single post I've written on the fediverse, it should be alive on the original site. It should be obvious that I didn't really bother adding new information about the last couple weeks of the campaign in this, because the fundamentals are enough. I didn't talk about Rogan, I didn't talk about McDonalds, I didn't talk about garbage trucks. That's all tactical, I'm speaking in the sort of terms I was talking about 2 months ago. Deep strategic talks that remain without discussing individual tactics. I already kind of expect a certain response to a post like this. The right won't really be that interested in what I have to say here because they already know, and the left will want to downvote and report it into oblivion because that's what they've become. As for the center? Well, I guess it depends how they lean. The real chads will see what I've got to say to see if it actually helps describe what happened just now at all. I mean, if I'm wrong, I'm just an idiot on the Internet, so who cares? On the fediverse I've been cast down from the good graces of the wokerati fo…
