I keep trying to understand the depth of hatred directed at Trump versus say, Sarah Palin, Dan Quayle, Ted Cruz — and this seems to be an absolutely insane reaction.
He knows something that terrifies the left wing.
Liberals define right and wrong by their political ideology, instead of a divine set of rules. And they see government as the source of morality and highest good, hence the reflexive response to prohibit via law what they don’t like.
It is lazy moralizing by liberals to say “My tribe is smart, good, rational, tolerant, educated so I become those things just by joining X tribe”. It lets you demonize and ignore any contrary view because they are stupid, evil, crazy.
This makes the head of the conservatives utterly stupid (see the regular articles painting Bush as having an IQ less than 50). Trump is obviously smart, so he’s alternatively smeared as dangerously insane and/or evil.
The left knows that he’s against everything they believe to be sacred, while also knowing he can’t be bought or, seemingly, brought down with political mud. It terrifies them. It’s so unhinged to the point of remarkable. The thing is, it only plays into Trump’s hands. They look like idiots but are too stupid to realize it.
A politician is a person who has as their career making nice with other politicians so that they may all prolong their ability to make money with little or no work. That fact necessitates them making nice with the other fags in the playground.
They say whatever they need to say to hoodwink their constituents in order to get elected, but when they get to DC, it's all about pimping themselves to the highest bidder.
Other career politicians know this and it's a stabilizing force in the political world. Nobody will get too far out of line because it's not in their long term best interests.
Then comes along Donald Trump. He owes nothing to the DC fags and pimps and doesn't have to play their game. He's a POTUS that is led by morals, values and ethics and can't be bought. That terrifies the Oligarchy.
