While Trump maybe, in the eyes of some people, a symbol of the cultural right of this society, there is another way to look at him: as someone who is leading a bloodless coup against an established tyranny. People who do things like that, against every possible form of attack I’m a bad publicity and condemnation, tend to have some rough edges. Trump falls solidly within that description, which should shock no one.
As for me, not only is it no shock, but I welcome him and most of his methods. Why? Because the elites in this country, in every place that they may be, need to know that they are not our masters, that they work for us. The message not only needs to be loud, but it needs to be so crystal clear in its nature that there is simply no ignoring it. If they don’t like it and will not change, then we will get rid of them. They should be thankful that it is a bloodless coup, because we generally don’t do things the other way in this country.
Imagine.
K- and J- Street offices having to clear out and for lease signs going up.
Lobby lawyers and other support staff having to close up shop.
THAT’s what I am looking for.
Imagine:
People bookin’ it for the border, with e-verify in every business location.
A decrease in 3rd world diseases in 1st world US K-12 schools.
THAT’s what I’m looking for.
Trump.
Sorry about a couple of errors: first, it is cultural rot, not “right.”
Second, it isn’t “against every possible form of attack I’m a bad publicity and condemnation,” it is “ against every possible form of attack, insult and condemnation.”
