Socrates’ Answer

QUESTION: When you say that Socrates says that this election may be the last election, does it say why? Is it because elections will be canceled and the nation will be under authoritarian rule? Or maybe because the nation will be divided by then, and there will no longer be a united Federal government over the whole nation? Or another reason?

George Washington’s Inauguration 1789

ANSWER: Socrates has correlated everything, and it does not look good. Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution governed the original method of electing the president and the vice president (elections of 1789, 1792, 1796, and 1800). The president would be the man with the greatest number of votes, and the vice president would be the next with the greatest number of votes. This presented a problem, for their political philosophies could be antagonistic. It was not until the election of 1804 that was the first one in which the electors voted for president and vice president on separate ballots. (See Amendment XII to the Constitution.)

The 2020 election was the first outright coup carried out in Congress. That was cyclically on point, for it was the third Revolutionary Cycle, 72 years from the first presidential election under the 12th Amendment of 1804. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) defeated the Federalist Charles Pinckney (1746–1825) in 1804 and ran again in 1808 against James Madison (1751-1836). The hatred back then between the Federalists and the Bemocratic-Republican Party of Thomas Jefferson was profound.

John Adams, a staunch Federalist, and Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4th, 1926. John Adams’s last words were, “Thomas Jefferson still survives.” Little did he realize that he outlived his former bitter rival by a few hours. One can imagine just about any of these Democrats from Biden, Obama, or Hillary Clinton, who would say the same if they died about Trump. The animosity between the Federalists, who wanted dictatorial power over the states, and Jefferson, who championed States’ Rights, is still a battle raging today, as in ABORTION.

The next election of 1812 saw James Madison (1751-1836) defeat the Federalist DeWitt Clinton (1769– 1828). The 1816 election saw James Monroe (1758–1831) of Jefferons’s Party win 72.9% against Rudus King (1755–1827), the Federalist, who captured only 13.2%. That was the end of the Federalist Party. The next election was in 1832, with Andrew Jackson (1767–1845) and Henry Clay (1777–1852) being hotly contested.

We must understand the Democrats are essentially the Federalists today seeking dictatorial power to impose their policies by force upon the whole. If we look objectively at the total number of seats held in both the Senate and House, the Democrats are in a bear market. They have made lower highs and lower lows since their peak during the Great Depression. The computer shows the demise of the Democratic Party for the very same reasons that the Federalists collapsed. I have warned that centralized governments have ALWAYS failed throughout history because this idea of one-size-fits-all politically does not work. Politics has degenerated into it is now our turn to oppress the opposition. NO CIVILIZATION will ever last when the majority exploits the minority.

I speak not even as an American and certainly not as a partisan. I speak as an analyst, not because of my desires or aspirations. History proves they will not change course because of my words. We are on our own!
