Prior to this election I had been a 3rd party voter for 20 years. This time I voted the DJT-RFKJr Unity Party-as-3rd-party. I reasoned that there is long term value in the potential future element of betrayal because a potential 2024 Trump betrayal would all the same raise Class Consciousness long term, just like 2016 Trump has permanently raised Class Consciousness (with concepts like “deep state,” “build the wall,” “America first [the American workers first].”

The sociopathic Ruling Class hate Trump for having raised Class Consciousness (i.e. labor vs. capital, the ruled vs. their rulers).

Your four points are valid. I share these same fears. I gave my 3rd party vote to Trump (not to the RINO party, not to the Uniparty, but to the Trump-RFKJr Unity Party) fully expecting traditional capitalistic exploitation of labor but hoping our nation has averted (for the time being) Komrade Kamala’s, communistic exploitation of labor (neofeudalism/ Great Reset/ New World Order).

Communists do not raise Class Consciousness - but sometimes populist capitalists do. It’s risky - and our sociopathic Ruling Class is risk averse. Risk vs. Reward is for us Little People. The sociopathic Ruling Class don’t take risks in business; they make the rules to ensure their profits. Their house of cards depends upon us workin’ stiffs not thinking too much.

I voted Trump because he makes the people **think**. And if the people come someday to feel betrayed by 2024 Trump, then they’ll be doing even more of their own thinking. So, whether betrayal or “promises made, promises kept,” Class Consciousness will rise. Politics is moving away from the 20th century propagandistic Mass Media left-right paradigm to the 99% vs. the 1%, which is a prerequisite for fundamental change (per 1st Industrial Revolution political idealism).
