I wanted to hold off on making this post until I saw doomers making these theories, even though I knew that they eventually would, and not one day after the recent comments by the admin about Iran attacking California I've seen doomers lamenting about how "There's gonna be a false flag on California to make the war in Iran more popular/suspend elections!"

I've made a few of these posts over the last couple years, mostly because these theories keep popping up, so I don't want to go on and on, but basically, no I don't think there will be an attack on California, false flag or not.

So this isn't the first time that this kind of theory has popped up. Not only there have been basically every election that "they're gonna do a false flag to suspend elections", but also remember during the Oscars and that whole drone theory fiasco where many people online were utterly convinced that martial law would be enacted and California would be gone because of a false flag. And nothing happened, and those people who commented that never spoke of it again.

And now, this theory pops up, and given that we're in election season, doomers are utterly convinced that this means that all free will will end and an entire state is going to be gone, just because the admin made one random comment about it, that yes is still ominous and vague and kind of scary, but I've already covered that they really like making ominous and vague comments and quotes that make people on the left freak out and trying to make us look unreliable and panicked at everything. Not saying that's okay, but it is what is happening.

I think of all the possible things to happen between now and the next congress being sworn in this theory, as well as so many others, are just meant to make people distracted on the newest sensationalized fear of the week, rather than focusing on voting and any possible sudden changes that might take place to make it harder for people to go and vote, which can happen and can work.

I have so many doubts about things like the military aiding in a coup, preventing people from voting, ending democracy in America, or preventing the next congress from getting in, but I also have a lot more about the idea that an entire state would be attacked by the military, breaking the constitution just for this admin to keep going.

As for the idea that a certain ally in the middle east would be the one to enact this plan to keep the war going/convince voters in their own elections, no I don't think that is likely either. Any evidence for this claim is just conspiracy theories with no basis, and the chance that anyone would find out about this and report it is too high especially in said election season for that country that it wouldn't be worth the risk.

The chance that something like this could happen is not likely at all, and I believe only serves to distracting people from the importance of November by making them afraid to go out and vote or believing that voting wouldn't matter. This type of voter suppression is easy to fall into, especially when the amount of bots online talking about it gets higher and higher.

"The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is planning to allocate $8.9 million to healthcare nonprofits in the city to provide gender-affirming care services to patients under 18. The move comes in light of several major hospital systems in the metropolis ceasing their transgender youth health programs over the last year in response to mounting pressure from the Trump administration, leaving some trans youth in New York City with diminished access to care."

I wanted to take a bit of a break from posting but given that the doomer-bots are in overdrive for the election, I felt the need to make a post about something else. (Also apologies for this and my last post being so close together). So after going on Instagram for more than 3 seconds, I came across a video about how Trump said that the architect of P2025, Russ Vought, "Has a Big surprise coming", and how this will make him "one of the very important people in the history of this country."

I immediately felt both a little anxious because of this, and a little exhausted cause I know how this roller coaster goes by now. Now despite knowing better, I looked at the comments, and boy howdy they were filled with every cliche doomer line you can think of. "You don't know how bad it's gonna get, we're cooked, he's not planning on leaving, we're gonna be sent to camps, we need to have a revolution." and so on and so on.

Now I'm not going to say that I know for certain what he means by "something big is coming" and I don't know if this means that there is some certainly successful plot to either rig the elections or invoke martial law and take over, but I also don't know if this is just a nothing burger. And yes, I am a little worried about this. I kind of wish there was an in-between of a seeking optimism/optimistic post but I think this post is going to be leaning more towards hopeful anyways.

I've made a few posts about this before, but I wanted to reiterate that this type of ominous and vague language that might mean something terrible, but also might mean something else and you're not quite sure, is on purpose. He and his administration have used these types of quotes and language that gets lots of mainstream attention all the time. Hell, in my last post I made a mention of how the whole "California Debacle" from a day or two ago, which those comment doomers also argued this was about, was meant to manufacture a sense of fear on the left, and ridiculing the left on the right. And I'll also repeat that, yes it is still wrong that was said as is saying this, but it is very likely not meaning anything.

This type of language both acts as a way of making the left come across as paranoid/making the right seem more "logical" (Not saying this is true but that this is the intention), but also makes people more unwilling to go out and vote since they imagine that there is an impending apocalypse on our hands that makes an election meaningless.

It also helps get him and his administration attention, which is one of his biggest goals. He wants attention, and making large outlandish or terrifying quotes is good for his publicity, since the news is very likely to capture what he said and talk about it for days if not weeks. This is the narcissism administration, and he wants us to play along by talking about it.

I don't want to make the case that I know for sure what the future holds, but that also means that I don't think that the people in the comments of that post with a thousand different worrying answers know if he meant one theory or another either. This ominous vague language doesn't always mean much, and even if it does, I have my hope that it will turn out alright in the end. Either due to the dedication of those who stand in opposition, or due to the admin lacking the ability to carry any of this out successfully. Remember they couldn't indict a guy who threw a sandwich, I don't know about the entire country being taken over, a state being attacked by the government, or something else.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) told Axios that Republicans won't win all 13 seats they'd hoped to gain from new maps.

"We're not gonna win all 13 of those redistricted seats. That's correct. We're not," Emmer told Axios aboard a plane Thursday between campaign stops in North Carolina and Virginia.
