Great comment.
DACA is an ambush. I have to think that many of so-called Trump supporters (even here on FR) who urge Trump to pick a fight over DACA and other obvious ambushes - are they really supporters, or are they enemy shills?
Marxism is essentially a scam whereby corrupt politicians take advantage of “have nots” in order to justify wealth redistribution in the name of social justice and equality.
But the “have nots” are not the true beneficiaries - the corrupt politicians are.
After the Marxists have used the “have nots” as a false front for their corruption, and have posed as their saviours to garner their votes, they are still not done using them! When the duped middle class realizes it is getting the life sucked out of it, and is looking for who to blame, the Marxists gladly point the finger at the “have nots”.
So, in the most disgusting display of low character, the Marxist has not only tricked the “have nots” into resenting the “haves”, but now they’ve tricked the “haves” into resenting the “have nots”.
Where am I going with all of this?
We must not forget who the enemy is - and it’s NOT the “have nots”. They have been used, just as the “haves” have.
Trump did not get elected to go after the “have nots”, he got elected to drain the swamp of Marxist pigs.
Trump supporters are being riled up against the Dreamers and are urging the POTUS to march them across the border, and he’s not doing it. Good for him. He can smell a trap a mile away.
By now we should know, as Trump does, that the true enemy is the swamp creatures, the Marxists, the uniparty, the socialists, the progressives, the leftists, the devil (whatever). That’s who we should really be riled up against.
Does anyone really think some Dems crying over DACA illegals actually care about them? On the contrary, they find them just as distasteful, just as much a threat to liberty as we do. But, like the Rinos who hate their own respective base, elected officials have got to suck it up and 'say the hard words'.
It's interesting how professional politicians initially choose their side. I've always thought BJ could have run as an R if he had just a slightly different orientation. Instead of his fake "I feel your pain", it could just as easily been "read my lips".
What is simultaneously amusing but also disconcerting is the number of FReepers who insist on arguing the merits of the situation. They broke the law, no rewards for lawbreakers, etc, etc, etc. Once again, no sh!t, everyone gets it. But it's not an issue about fundamentals, it's an issue about the shadow war, the information war, the meme war.
That is, the deep, long term battles to win back the republic for the people. Sometimes you have to take a hit, give up a hill, strategically retreat. DACA is the fantastic stinky turd bomb for the enemy. Concede defeat and move on to other agenda items while trying to minimize losses.
Never forget that Nov 2018 is the second most important election after 2016. Trump gains extra support, and his entire agenda will be rammed through, with ramifications lasting 50 years.
