Mark My Words—The GOP Will Use AI Job Displacement to Cement Permanent Power

We are about to witness one of the biggest political power plays in modern history, and it will be framed as a response to an “emergency.”

The rapid advancement of AI is set to displace millions of workers, particularly in white-collar jobs once thought secure. This wave of economic instability will be the perfect crisis for Republicans to exploit—and they won’t be acting alone. Big Tech will be right there with them.

Here’s the playbook:

1️⃣ Declare the AI Job Crisis an Emergency As automation wipes out jobs, conservatives will shift their messaging from “work harder” to acknowledging a national emergency. This shift will justify extraordinary measures—and conveniently allow them to position themselves as the only solution.

2️⃣ Partner With Tech Giants to Control the Narrative The GOP already has strong ties to major tech firms, and those relationships will only deepen. These corporations will claim they “had no choice” but to automate, while simultaneously funding conservative think tanks and media outlets that push the idea that only Republicans can responsibly manage AI-driven economic collapse.

3️⃣ Enact UBI, But With Strings Attached Universal Basic Income (UBI) will become a necessity to prevent mass unrest, but it won’t be the kind of progressive UBI some envision. Instead, it will be conditional—tied to behaviors and political loyalty, structured to reinforce conservative values. Big Tech, eager to maintain influence, will integrate payment systems and monitoring tools into the infrastructure of this new economic order.

4️⃣ Expand Government and Corporate Control Over the Economy With the government (and their corporate partners) controlling UBI distribution, they will gain an unprecedented level of influence. Just like Social Security and Medicare, UBI will become an untouchable institution—but unlike those programs, it will be used to incentivize compliance. Expect spending restrictions, ideological loyalty tests, and punishments for dissent.

5️⃣ Use Economic Dependency to Maintain Political Dominance Once UBI is in place, Republicans will brand themselves as the only party capable of managing it. Any progressive challenge will be framed as a direct threat to financial stability. The message will be simple: “Vote for us, or risk losing your livelihood.” With their tech allies controlling job automation, digital currency, and media narratives, they will have all the tools they need to cement a permanent grip on power.

The Endgame

A future where economic fear keeps voters in line, AI accelerates wealth consolidation, and democracy is reduced to a formality. If you thought AI was just going to take jobs, think again—it’s also going to take the last remnants of political freedom with it.

Mark my words.
