Many political and societal views seem to work much like a pendulum: They get more & more extreme in one direction and then a critical mass of people gets fed up, pushes back, and everything swings in the other direction. But the question is, have things gotten too extreme yet or will there be more Clown World behavior in 2020? Interested in your thoughts, SDA readers.
it’s already past the point where I thought it would break…
Not till they actually imprison someone for refusing to wax that lady’s testicles. People have been conditioned to not only tolerate, but to celebrate the intolerable.
It is going to take a lot to break that level of gaslighting. That kind of programming, this level of anti social conditioning, has never been achieved before.
a boy identifies as a girl…..dresses like a girl….school says he can use the girl’s restroom
….girls and their parents have a cow
school says they have to learn to be excepting
why not make that same boy…use the boy’s restroom…and tell the boys they have be to excepting?
Seems like people are getting tired of the Climate crap. The “Warmist” fear mongers have over played their hand. The pushback is coming – seems like more and more people are fed up.
Predictions?
Britain exits the EU. Several other nations threaten to do the same for their own reasons. Germany declares war on these upstart nations, this time using monetary policy and bonds, not bayonets.
Impeachment fails miserably. Trump is reelected. Progressives continue to be Bat$hit Freaking Insane.
Trump gets a Republican House and Senate. In 2021, the Establishment Republicans and Democrats shut down the border wall construction, spend ridiculously, hold meaningless hearings, and for the tenth year, fail to pass the required budget bills.
China desperately tries to keep their economy growing as the tariffs drive supply chains out of China. President for Life Xi meets his individual term limits after his attempt at Restoring Communist Party Supremacy over China fails. The turmoil scares more investors out of, or away from China.
The Islamic wars in Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Libya, and Sub Saharan Africa continue for another year (and decade).
Our arsehole pm sells oil fields off shore to the thieving asians.. just to stick another needle in in our eyes.. Damn criminal.

“Impeachment fails miserably. Trump is reelected.”
Damn you, Donald Trump… for killing our precious economy…
“Dec. 26 (UPI) — U.S. stocks surged higher Thursday as a year-end rally
stoked by bullish economic news pushed the Nasdaq Composite index

Quebec will have considerable political influence in Turdeaus new government thanks to the seats controlled by the Bloc. They have already been guaranteed that Davie shipyard will build all the new Coast Guard icebreakers and also many naval vessels over the next 5-10 years. There will be a lot more preferential government contracts going to Quebec because Turdeau needs that support in order for his government to remain in power. The NDP can t afford an election for at least a couple of years and the Tories remain a toothless tiger, so acting PM Tinker Bell Freedland will be available to take the fall should anything go wrong.
There seems to be a great deal of right wing pushback occurring everywhere…everywhere except Canada.
Canada is an island of progressive batshittery that seems oblivious to the idea that anything that isn’t leftist orthodoxy is at all legitimate whatsoever.
A nation of sheep reciting CBC talking points is about as much debate as can be offered. At least in public.
Behind closed doors people are reacting but nothing that matters is happening.
We’ll have to get our marching orders from the rest of the West, and implement everything ten years too late and only half as well.
Please let it end—however we are at the point where it never ends.
They have indoctrinated two generations.
Wee Splat.
Can Ahh Duh 2020.
Western Citizens will get fresh lessons about their place in Confederation and what we must pay to stay enslaved.
Citizens get progressively more cranky,our progressive comrades continue to mistake civility for agreement.
Until the civility is gone.
With the Media Party’s focus on branding all tax paying citizens as Alt Right,Racist,Haters and yes Nazis,the love is going to spread.
For as the parade of eastern “experts” are trotted out to lecture us about our “proper place”,Westerners are going to get even more annoyed.
The Debt Bomb will continue to hang over us,until mortgage payers realize they are hopelessly under water and then POP.
Saw a “Canadian Expert” assuring all TV viewers that while the job market is weak,Real Estate is booming, so all is good..
Do believe we heard this tune before.
The 40 cent Canadian dollar will allow the West to buy what parts of the East we want to keep,Petro dollar is coming back, because the phoney alternative energy schemes crash and burn,leaving large populations freezing in the dark.
And the most accurate prediction, the wheel will continue to turn those on the top will be on the bottom in half a cycle.
Until we find our own disruptor-in-chief to lead this country, we’re going to keep on getting it and hard from our betters in Ottawa / Centre of the Known Universe.
Here you go … you want to get depressed, right? Watch this.
Growth of Muslim Population in Western Countries 1945 – 2019
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqXZrnRaI5I
According to Mark Steyn, with current birth rates, when the Muslim population hits 10% in an European country it only takes two more generations for them to go over 50%. 40-50 years.
Yes, that is one way of interpreting the demographic trend to 50% Muslim. However, Muslims have a bad habit of marrying cousins, uncles to nieces with the resultant genetic defects. I personally think there will be some sort of pandemic in the next decade which will severely curtail the human population. If I am one of the curtailed (I am 68) then so be it.
In that video, notice what happened to Muslim immigration in the US, after Trump took office.
What is it going to take for the left in the country to wake the eff up – the Lib/Dipper policies are bringing all of us down, not lifting us up. Morons.
The economy will sputter along in slow decline and with every attempt by the Spawn to “right” the economy, the decline will accelerate. Eventually the NDP will incorrectly believe that they can increase their numbers by pulling the plug (with a non-confidence vote) and we will get another election all within 9 months to a year and a half. Hopefully Scheer is gone by then and replaced with a breathing, sentient being with a minimum of courage to defy the CBC and its UNIFOR media private sector clones and show some conservative guts.
Western independence will slowly gain in popularity after some organizational structures are initiated. Unaccountable support (think it’s a good idea) will increase above 50% while realistic support (those willing to endure temporary hardship) will likely start at no more than 30%.
2020,the years Westerners will gather together and rationally discuss confederation,what it means and what we shall do.
Funny how rational people discussing their future,will scare the crap out of our Eastern Comrades..
One wonders what they fear?
USA and other predictions
No impeachment, or a “not guilty” finding in the Senate. Trump re-elected to a strong mandate. Holds the Senate, Regains the House, Ginsberg dies, Names a replacement shortly after the fall election, likely Amy on his short list of potential Supreme Court justices… UK Brexit is successful, the UK not too adversely affected. Iran gov’t fails, possibly replaced by a more islamic and military gov’t there… Turkey is much more belligerent. Ex CIA head Brennan off to the big house, while the Obama’s name is brought up much more with open talk of criminal behavior.
I wish so much that the USA would pull out of Afghanistan, and simply commit to not entering the fray there for the next 200 years, regardless of how many wisened elders of Afghanistan rape their own male cousins. Simply allow the surrounding areas to be subjected to more devout muslims, and shoot them when they try to enter countries that are not Afghanistan. Hopefully, China sees the mineral wealth in Afghanistan, and they invade there next. I_do_not_care_how_many_die_there_anymore.
Canada predictions:
Trudeau continues being Trudeau, widespread western alienation amongst rising carbon tax and hard times in the west, the east begins to feel the weight of the Liberal economy. Kenney in Alberta continues to face falling approval numbers while holding the separation movement at bay. Public sector anger at facing cutbacks like the private sector has endured. Calgary Mayor faces anger at rising taxes with less private money to pay them. No prediction on who will lead Canada’s Torys.
Trudeau makes an ass of himself at the next G7 in June in the USA. Further alienating President Trump from whatever The Groper is thinking. Canada is outed for not living up to the NATO agreement, again. Canada continues to give foreign aid to those that would seek to destroy us. Canada continues to import thousands of people who can barely function in our society, people who struggle with the most basic of values.
marc in calgary continues to advocate for a complete separation of western Canada from Old Canada and their old ways. A new country, a republic, free of a foreign monarchy.
Marc…not much to disagree with whatsoever.
I too will continue to advocate for a Western Republic. One with a Constitution based on US Model replete with a min of 1st & 2nd amendments.
Said creation will instantly destroy Eastern Canadian Monoplies in AIR travel, Dairy and Digital Comm – PERFECT and allows us to move our # 1 product to either Alaska or thru Montana. The Lower Maoland/YVR Island of BC can go straight to hell, we will take the rest of it with us.
I also predict DJT will defeat the dems in their attempts at screwing him over
I also predict that the left will start to seriously push Pedophilia with said dementia pushed hardest by the CBC.
As for the Mussies….the West will bar their entry….and with clarity reigning, kick the rest of that Filth the Fk out.
Trudeau steps down when RCMP investigation is made public and Freeland becomes Canada’s second (unelected) female PM.
I miss the stability of the Cold War.
You’re onto something.
When you think about it.
It makes a contradictory sense.
Even the vile VOX Day has a view worth noting:
Social Justice Warriors always double down.
Our friends on the left are on a religious jihad to save us from our sinful ways. They act with the comfort of knowing that their often cruel acts are for our own good.
Expect no end to it soon, I hope I’m wrong.
Much more clowning to come. I think it is important to remember we have never had a generation of people so indoctrinated by public school, universities and the PC media into thinking they are entitled to more and that the world they live in is unjust. Social media will only fuel more craziness before this swings back. Some real world pain needs to be visited upon this cohort before they wake up.
All will continue as it has until the western world enters it’s new version of the dark ages. Ignorance will continue to be acceptable and that will be the primary reason for the continued decline.
USA: It becomes painfully obvious that the Americans have been planning their course coming out of a world debt crisis for many years. Their world dominance is reasserted which in turn provides some relief to unstable world markets. Global debt is monetized with devastating results for world citizenry. The USA will be the least impacted as innovation will lead the way to new growth.
Canada: The utter absurdity of Canadian political leadership will come to bear. No long term economic plan, no long term national security plan and no long term plan to sustain social spending. As people realize their government cannot pay for their social commitments the unity of the country will falter. While Quebec has a society based on clear priorities the ROC does not. The West is awaking to this reality and 2020 will be a year of clarifying direction. Economic imperatives will hasten this process more than an awakening of a Western identity.
Based on what I know.
1. I expect the Canadian economy to further regress, to include more capital flight and more good jobs being replaced by McJobs w/o benefits.
2. I anticipate more political chaos in the USA, culminating in another Trump mandate. Mounting violence due to left/right divides, partly stoked by the fake news MSM will become mainstream. Not good for 2021…
3. More unchecked immigration to Canadastan will further the financial pressures.
4. Expect more Islamist acts of terror worldwide, perhaps also a carnage event. Islam will not be blamed, however “mental ilness” will.
5. Everybody needs to wake the fuck up to the demise of Canada. Even though it is already too late.
Will this be the year that Canada begins to rise up against the Ruling Class?
Deplorables Versus the Ruling Class: A Global Struggle
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/12/deplorables_versus_the_ruling_class_a_global_struggle.html
Are you kidding, every socialist in Canada thinks they are the ruling class, and having at least a 63% political majority they are correct.
1. Trump re-elected in landslide numbers, & increases his popular vote. Because the Dem’s choice is just so ridiculous/repulsive.
2. One or two of the deep state actors in the US go to jail. Which ones … depended who is left standing during their musical chairs game of blamery.
3. Hillary & the Obama criminal enterprises escape any felony charges. Might be a reprimand in the works.
4. China’s PLC military, cloaked in the guise of HK Police uniforms, finally does something atrocious enough in Hong Kong, to provoke a near-worldwide condemnation.
5. Uprising in China’s other SAR, Macau, begin in 2020, following the continuous decline of gambling tourism this year.
6. An incident occurs in the disputed man-made islands area in the South China Sea. This, plus China’s existing influence in Cuba & Venezuela, effectively bring a new Cold War into the open.
On the Canada front:
a) Rona Ambrose must enter & win the Conservative leadership race. Anyone else leading means a Lib re-election.
b) Western Canada will continue to get its economies thrashed by deliberate actions of Trudeau & his cult followers.
c) At least one more scandal will hit Trudeau & his Libs in 2020. The media will of course yawn.
d) Bank of Canada will finally cut interest rates in the first quarter. Trudeau’s government rolls back some of the mortgage stress test rules.
e) No risk of an election for Trudeau, not at least until very late in the year, or early 2021.
f) Kenney’s Alberta starts showing signs of a very slow economic rebound, though oil & gas remains difficult.
g) Yet another indigenous band halts TMX construction in 2020.
I’m with Kate – I want a new country.
If you want a new country, then why vote for Ambrose? She is a globalist too. Wake the hell up and vote for the only party for Canada, the PPC. Read their party platform. If you want to save Canada, wake up and vote for them.
Nothing changes, just more of the same. A lot more of it.
More taxes, especially hidden taxes like higher costs for anything due to CO2 taxes.
More of less income due to taxes and job losses.
More personal bankruptcies.
More of the semi-retired Groper and more of his Nazi lieutenant who should also be known as ” the mouth of Sauron”
More money going elsewhere to provide aid and comfort to those who should be our enemies.
More money going to Not-First Nations for them not to do the stuff that normal Canadian families do, like raise children properly and act civilly.
More not-Canadians receiving better benefits than our elder parents and grand-parents who actually contributed to Canada’s economy and growth.
More of less spending on health and education, not that the education is of any real quality.
More whiny types dominating anti-social media sites.
More whiny Main Stream Media using whiny anti-social media as media sources for their lazy reporting/opinion pieces.
More “Green” BS. Especially from the two most hypocritical provinces: BC who exports piles of coal and dumps raw sewage, Quebec who wants the product (NG) but not the delivery system and will destroy the environment to create electricity to sell. And dumps raw sewage.
More restrictions on Freedoms like speech, gatherings and protection from Government.
And last but not least, and the only thing in my power to control, more of my money going into foreign currencies and off shore investments and accounts. I’ll pay the tax on it and then get it out of here. Currently we’re too heavily invested here to leave. RRSP’s, pensions, houses and Family.
I don’t know about 2020, but I’m fully expecting to see Cormac MacCarthy’s The Road levels of societal collapse in my lifetime.
daniel… you may be on to something…

I predict Extinction Rebellion will go the way of those One-Percent protests (who they?).
Of course, it goes almost without saying that there will be some new even more trendy movement to replace it.
predict the leafs will win the Stanley Cup, and Hell will freeze over
Prediction.
Just as his government has done since 2015 and every year since, Justin Trudeau will cause hundreds of thousands to become dependants of the government and call it job creation.
Prediction (that I don’t want to happen but have a funny feeling will)……
Trump will get re-elected in a landslide.
Sometime early in the second term, some peabrain TDS sufferer is going to take a shot at him.
And they will succeed.
The Secret Service are the ultimate Deep Staters and I doubt have hands that are much cleaner than the CIA or the scumbags at the Fart.Barf.Itch They will somehow fail to do their sworn duty and an inquiry by their fellow swamp creatures will exonerate them.
Liberty. Must be watered with the blood of patriots as they say.
What happens after that…. ?
What indeed.
my prediction:
sumbuddy gonna come up with a really stinging permanent addition to the cultural slang lexicon about
‘2020’ and ‘hindsight’, with relation to some news-story-of-the-moment.
