The Reelection of Donald Trump
Spectator ^ | 05/14/2019 | John Glynn

Emile Durkheim, a French sociologist, famously discussed something called collective effervescence. Durkheim argued that the universal religious dichotomy of sacrilegious and sacred results form the way in which we live of our lives. Unfortunately, most of us spend too many hours performing menial tasks. These tasks are, for lack of a better word, monotonous. The rare occasions on which the masses have a reason to congregate become sacred, and the high energy level associated with these events gets directed onto momentous events and people. Think religious gatherings, sporting events, or even Trump rallies.

To millions of Americans, President Trump is an outlier, an anomaly of sorts. His inflammatory Tweets and extemporaneous “speeches” are troubling, to say the very least. Trump, in the eyes of his detractors, is an atypical assemblage, an erratic unicorn “put together” by a disgruntled populace. To them, the septuagenarian is a jumped-up vulgarian with all the class of a seedy strip club.

There are three things that could derail Trump in 2020 and they are in order of magnitude:
1. Voter fraud
2. Voter fraud
3. Voter fraud

The time is NOW to head this off in every single State. Now you know why Soros spent so much money on getting secretary of state positions in the hands of the dems.

I have also read (some place) where he has large stock holdings in voting machine companies.

Maybe a firmware update just before the election to re-arrange the votes.

Then a firmware update to put back the original system.

Would not surprise me at all.

I don’t think this guy likes Trump.

But he seems to realize that the Democrats are a complete mess, and their best hope is to nominate Oprah. Which just says so much.

“Trump won ’cause he was a TV star. “


They still do not understand. President Trump may have name recognition because of his work on television, but that is not why he was elected.

Their answer...Oprah may have name recognition but she is just another Democrat Socialist in some ways no different then all other Democrats running.

“Trump won ’cause he was a TV star. “

What a howling lie.

Even during the election, the MSM slammed him in every way possible.

What we need is a Trump supporting House, who’ll for 2022 a Voter ID law...we also need to fight for that in our states, too...
