2024, How Bad Could It Get?
2024 may be one of the most influential and critical years in recent history that could decide the future of the United States of America. It all comes down to the upcoming election. Although none of this is concrete, these concerns are based on actual observations. I see it as a real possibility that they could manifest in the coming year.
The 2024 presidential election can potentially be the most controversial and heated election in our country’s history. I do not want to spend time explaining the ideological differences between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. I am assuming that my readers are at least somewhat aware of the significant differences in foreign policy and domestic affairs. However, I want to focus on something else. My focus will be on the potential fallout in society when either candidate wins.
Will Anyone Trust This Election?
The primary concern that I see arising is that both sides may claim it was an illegitimate election when they lose. Whether they were right or wrong in their assumptions, what matters is they will believe it. What do I mean by that?
If Trump Wins in 2024
Let us first look at a scenario where Donald Trump wins the 2024 election. The left has already tried to claim that Donald Trump is ineligible to run for president. They use the 14th Amendment, coupled with the events that occurred on January 6th, 2021, to claim that Trump is an insurrectionist and, therefore, ineligible to run for president. The State of Colorado even tried to remove Trump from the ballot. The Supreme Court overturned that decision, but the narrative is already out there. Leftists will now have backing to their claim that Donald Trump is ineligible to run. Now that the idea has been floated, good luck getting that cat back into that bag.
If Trump wins, I could easily see a scenario where the far left claims the election was illegitimate since he should never have been able to run. We can only imagine what would happen next, whether riots, revolutions, or even entire states refusing to acknowledge him as president. A political leader perceived as illegitimate is the precursor to chaos.
If Biden Wins in 2024
What if Biden won the 2024 election? Would we avoid the chaos? I do not believe this is the case either, and it is tied to the same reasoning as if Trump won. If Trump were to lose, Trump supporters would be able to legitimately claim that there was election interference. The fact that states tried to remove Trump from the ballot is proof that the left was not trying to win democratically but by any means possible. An attempt to take away the ability of voters to vote for the candidate they want is an attempt to stop the democratic process. With that trust already being marred, Trump supporters will believe the election was interfered with.
This does not even mention the multiple legal battles that popped up against Trump right while the race was starting. Trump voters do not trust the democratic process. If they lose again, they will be able to claim that the election was rigged. There would be a legitimate claim that Biden really is “not my president.” Republican state governors have already defied Biden on the border. Would it be that surprising if they again defied the federal government if Trump lost the election? This could be the precursor to an actual civil war.
Conclusion
By now, I hope you can see the potential for absolute chaos in 2024. The best-case scenario could be riots, and the worst-case scenario could be something far worse. Only time will tell. However, you should ask yourself, am I prepared for the worst-case scenario? What will you do if there are riots throughout the country, maybe in your city? If there are revolutionaries or even civil war, will the grocery stores still be stocked with food? Will the banks still be reliable in giving you your money when you need it? (As if they were now). Will your money even have value? If America was thrown into chaos, would the world still use the dollar as a reserve currency, or would they dump it, resulting in inflation like we have never seen?
All of these questions are hard to answer, but what you can do is make sure that if that day comes, you are prepared. This is one of the benefits of owning gold and silver. Your wealth is no longer tied to the American system but is inherent. Gold and Silver are valuable regardless of the dollar’s value, and you can have it in your own hands instead of relying on the bank to keep it for you. It is impossible to know what the future holds, but you can know that your wealth is protected and you will be protected if the worst-case scenario becomes a reality.
