Curse Politics
I
worry for whoever wins the 2020 presidential campaign, because of the Zero-Year
Curse. I hear tell that Tecumseh cursed the presidency; whoever is elected on a
zero year shall die in office.
Tecumseh’s
curse has been highly effective, and fairly specific. There are exceptions;
Zachary Taylor died in office though he was not elected on a zero year. Reagan
was elected on a zero year and survived his presidency; the same is true for
George W, Bush. But Reagan’s mind did not survive his presidency, so he did not
entirely evade the curse; and W wasn’t really elected in 2000, so he got off on
a technicality.
I
suspect that the D’s will throw the 2020 fight, just to give the curse to
Trump. And he is arrogant and stupid enough to walk into the trap.
But
maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Tecumseh’s curse is weakening. Or maybe he goes easy on
reactionary presidents, because they destroy America.
