A Lot Like Hell

And the prize for the most pessimistic set of predictions for 2023 goes to … wait for it … Theodore Roosevelt Malloch writing at American Greatness. There is a tendency to think the AG venue is “owned” by Trump supporters. However, check out his political prediction.

The presidential primaries on both sides are going to be a blood fest. Biden will run based on his fake bio and he will have a half-dozen challengers, all trying to unseat him, as senile and inept. In the end, he will fold, and the Cackler, Kamala Harris, will be crowned queen as a happy compromise. Obama backs her, remember?

On the Republican side, Trump is fading faster than Santa after Christmas. The base may still, wink, wink, “support” him. But they have had enough, NFT trading cards and all. There are probably just short of a dozen challengers gearing up to take him on this year—some of whom were his lieutenants. Ron DeSantis will win the primaries and be the Republican nominee in 2024.

You get the real downer flavor of  Malloch’s predictions with this concluding thought:

Unfortunately, I don’t see any Great Awakening in 2023, even if it is sorely needed. 2023 will be a lot like Hell or one of the lower levels on Dante’s ladder.

I plan to retreat from the worst of 2023 as I avoid big cities and the craziness of the rat race. Hat tip to Power Line for the link.
