What has resulted, regardless if you believe the election was stolen or not, is that the underlying confidence in government has been splintered. We now have 50/50 insofar as the trust in government is concerned. I have shown the latest poll by Gallup which now places Congress at the bottom of the list for careers that are trustworthy. There is no ethics in politics anymore and what little there was has now evaporated. This is the survey sent out by the Democrats asking what is your top priority for the first 100 days. Note that there is nothing about reducing unemployment or getting the economy back on track. Everything is about COVID, economic fairness, voting rights, immigration, and health care. The talk of Pennsylvania Avenue is that this new Biden Administration will impose a national lockdown and point to the fact that New Zealand imposed a total lockdown and used internment cames to achieve zero cases. Naturally, that means they can never allow travel in or out. In order for capital to invest, there MUST be confidence in that instrument. This is the key to the future. This election has seriously disrupted CONFIDENCE in government. Even the most recent poll of Gallup has seen members of Congress fall to the bottom, Even a used car salesman has more trust than a politician. This year has a highly unusual number of Directional Changes. August is the most usual month for war and civil unrest. The German election, which could have been in August, has now been sent for September 26. Note that February is more of a target than January with rising volatility which will be followed by April/May in many markets. This election has been the crack in confidence we have been waiting for. Trump came in on the Pi target right to the day - 2017.05 inauguration of Trump. Now the next two waves will be authoritarian and they intend to eliminate "populism" which means ending free elections. Harris will take the preside34ncy from Biden and two terms of 4 years takes her into 2032.
