Doug Casey’s Top 3 Predictions for Post-Election America: Chaos, War, and Economic Collapse

EDITOR'S NOTES

Listen up. Doug Casey isn’t pulling punches, and neither am I. We’re headed straight for the meat grinder, folks, and this ain’t just some academic debate over fiscal policy. Whether it’s rigged elections, cultural warfare, global military conflicts, or a financial apocalypse—Casey lays it out plain. Think of it like being stuck in an elevator with the buttons smashed and a lunatic at the controls. Buckle up, because if even half of what he’s saying holds water, the next few years are going to make the 2008 crash look like a minor inconvenience.

Prediction #1: The 2024 Election Will Be a Disputed Circus

“Hope for the best, but don’t plan your life around it.” – Doug Casey

Casey’s seen enough election chaos to know the game isn’t on the level. From JFK’s shady win in 1960 to Bush vs. Gore in 2000, we’ve been here before—but this time, the stakes are even higher. No matter which side wins, the other will cry foul. The Reds and Blues are locked in a deathmatch, and civil discourse has left the building.

Casey’s warning? There’s a real chance the election might not even happen on schedule. And if it does, expect legal battles, riots, and who knows what else. The political divide isn’t just ideological anymore—it’s tribal. Civil war isn’t just a metaphor at this point. We’re staring it in the face.

Prediction #2: A Woke Cultural Revolution with No Brakes

Casey draws a brutal parallel here. America’s current cultural upheaval mirrors China’s Cultural Revolution of the 1960s—where everything old was dismantled in favor of radical new ideals. The Woke mob isn’t just annoying—it’s dismantling the foundations of Western civilization one step at a time. Worse yet, there’s no solid philosophy to push back against it.

Here’s the kicker: Even folks opposing the Woke agenda often accept many of its principles. They just think it’s being taken “too far.” That’s not resistance—it’s capitulation. And let’s not kid ourselves—Trump isn’t the solution. He’s just slowing down the inevitable. Casey says it outright: Trump doesn’t have a coherent philosophy, and without one, you lose every psy-op war.

The war for America’s soul isn’t just cultural—it’s psychological. And so far, the Woke side is running circles around the opposition.

Prediction #3: Global Conflict—World War III Is in the Air

Casey paints a grim picture of the U.S. military. It’s bloated, overly politicized, and increasingly infiltrated by Woke nonsense. Meanwhile, our fleet of expensive carrier battle groups isn’t about defense—it’s about stirring the pot. With hotspots like Gaza and Ukraine on the verge of igniting, Casey warns it’s only a matter of time before one of these powder kegs explodes into a full-blown war.

The U.S. government has turned the military into a hammer—so naturally, every global issue looks like a nail. If we aren’t careful, we’ll find ourselves in the middle of a conflict nobody asked for, and nobody will know how to stop. And if we keep pressing our luck? Some of those shiny carriers might end up at the bottom of the ocean.

Prediction #4: Financial Collapse—Interest Rates Will Crush the Economy

The Fed has been distorting the economy for decades, manipulating interest rates to keep the game going. But as Casey points out, the jig is up. Interest rates hit rock bottom in 2022—and now they’re heading up, no matter what the Fed wants. The result? Bonds, stocks, and real estate are all on thin ice. And let’s not even talk about taxes. With state and local governments drowning in debt, property taxes are about to skyrocket.

If you’re holding bonds or relying on cheap mortgage money, you’re playing with fire. Higher rates mean higher taxes, less liquidity, and a market that could implode at any moment. We’re not in for a “soft landing.” This is going to be a controlled demolition—or worse, a chaotic free fall.

How to Survive the Coming Storm: Get Liquid, Get Ready

Casey’s advice is blunt and to the point: Get liquid. Stock up on essentials, hold your wealth in gold, silver, and Bitcoin, and learn how to speculate—because the markets are going to behave like a malfunctioning roller coaster. There will be chaos, but there will also be opportunities if you know where to look.

Resource stocks—especially junior producers—are poised for a massive breakout. They’ve gone 10x before, and they’ll do it again. When the dust settles, those who prepared will come out on top. Those who didn’t? They’ll be caught in the wreckage.

The Bottom Line

Doug Casey isn’t spinning fairy tales. What’s coming isn’t just another financial crisis or political squabble—it’s the real deal. We’re on the edge of something massive, and the old rules no longer apply. The clock is ticking, and if you’re not ready, you’re toast.
