Buckle Up: Tough Times Are Coming
American Thinker ^ | Against 15,2022 | By J. Robert Smith

Posted on 08/15/2022 10:42:58 AM PDT by Hojczyk

The Stasi's — AKA the FBI's — raid on Mar-a-Lago isn't the Democrats' last attempt to foreclose Donald Trump's presidential run. The Mar-a-Lago raid was merely a salient in an ongoing war. Even if the establishment finds a way of barring Trump from running, the door then opens for DeSantis. You can bet that the establishment loathes DeSantis as much as it does Trump. Perhaps more so, in that DeSantis's success in Florida starkly contrasts Democrats' failures in blue states and across Biden's America. Democrats and their allies would simply unleash their wrath on the governor.

The war, started by the establishment, ramped up when Trump arrived on the political scene in late 2015. Trump's nascent America First movement was, quite correctly, perceived as what's fashionably termed an existential threat. It's been a hot cold war ever since, and it promises to grow hotter and nastier in the coming days.

Democrats and their allies are in their desperate hour. Theirs isn't an ascendant movement, but a faltering one. Resorts to strong-arm tactics, illegality, and conniving are indications. Ascendant movements enjoy broadening popular support. Majorities form around them and create mandates. Democrats enjoy no such backing.

With each passing day, Biden's and Democrats' failures become more apparent and painful to average Americans. The economy is shaky; inflation and energy costs will resume rising. Crime spikes in big cities. Woke and sexual indoctrination of schoolkids is meeting with growing backlashes. Democrats' police state gambits repel people who'd otherwise take a pass on politics. Their sheer incompetence, serial failures, and tyrannical overreach are undercutting their authority. So Democrats and the establishment are afraid and anxious.

Looming ahead is the fall of the establishment's thousand-year Reich. Desperation will drive establishment factions to more and, perhaps, even greater acts of illegally and shows of force

Yes - all the starry-eyed DeSantis believers would be treated to a "Second Verse, Same As The First" war on DeSantis.

No, they hate DeSantis, but not like they do Trump. Trump was never a politician.

They fear De Santis more than Trump because De Santis doesn’t give them an opening via mean Tweets and insulting nicknames and braggadocio. That’s why he will be deemed the next Hitler when Trump’s time has passed.

Sorry- I vote ideas and not the person. If you think deSantis is the "enemy" then you are sadly mistaken. Trump was not perfect and some (OK a little) of what is happening now can be laid at his feet due to his bad personnel decisions. If anything he was too trusting of the bureaucratic establishment.

DeSantis is running for Florida Gov.
I think he is a good Governor.

Good idea! I’ll follow your advice. Let’s fervently hope that neither of us have to do that.

I understand the sentiment, but Virginia may need full support for a DeSantis campaign. I’m in Oregon. Burning a vote to write in DJT is a different matter, here.

The deep state is going to be deposed but they will fight to the bitter end. Given their obvious desperation I think the end is coming soon. Something needs to happen before the midterms or there likely won’t be any midterms.
