If there is an election in 2028, something that is far from certain at this precarious moment in American history, the results will likely have to do with how politicians address the issue of the Greater Israel project over the next 2 years. https://stateofthenation.info/?p=73974
As one can readily glean from this video, the outrage against Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians and conduct of its wars in the region have left many ordinary citizens as well as powerful influencers deeply upset with the Zionists running the “Jewish State!” https://stateofthenation.info/?p=76178
The focus on avoiding candidates who accept AIPAC cash will narrow the field dramatically with the large contingent of former MAGA Movement members who took Trump literally when he promised to eschew foreign wars distancing themselves from anyone tainted by donations from the Israel Lobby.
Candidates from both parties will quickly lose support if their past, present or future backing involves dollars from the Jewish donor class that prioritizes Israel above all else.
That includes folks like Cruz, Haley, AOC, Newsom, Harris and Vance with his strong ties to Palantir, one of the key components of Israel’s military strategy relying on Bibi’s “cyber is the domain of power!”
That leaves populists like Tom Massie, Tucker Carlson, MTG and Chuck Baldwin in a strong position to divert voters away from whomever the Republicans pick should a peace party emerge like I have long worked to create. https://stateofthenation.info/?p=51767 (written in February).
It’s obviously way too soon to predict anything with accuracy as conditions continue to deteriorate here at home especially due to Trump’s egregious miscalculation vis a vis Iran.
The tragedy of that event compounds years of other misguided foreign wars that are clear manifestations of imperial overreach. (See Chalmers Johnson and the Sorrows of Empire).

Where it will get especially dicey for honest politicians is to find a way forward distinguishing the positive contributions of decent Jews to our culture from the reprehensible acts of Zionist zealots who tarnished their name in pursuit of a dubious prophetic vision.
This sensitive dance will get much harder as the looming financial and economic disaster finally hits home with a predictable “blame it on the Jews” scenario a la Germany in the 1930s a virtual certainty.
I pray these more moderate candidates will emerge and be able to transcend the ugly forces in the MSM and established parties who will attack them as anti-Semites as we have seen by Ben Shapiro, Laura Loomer and Mark Levin to name just three.
Should they fail, the parallels to the fall of Rome and other failed Empires will rapidly manifest itself upon an otherwise unaware and unprepared population where massive civil unrest and related hardships will unfold.
The road ahead is filled with many minefields and it will take a very skilled politician to guide us through the imminent ordeal that threatens our freedoms, our safety and what’s left of our Republic.
