The border wall GoFundMe page sums up the Trump presidency
CNN Opinion ^ | December 20, 2018 | Sally Kohn, CNN Political Commentator

Posted on 12/21/2018 12:19:39 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

During his campaign for president, Donald Trump had a common refrain -- he was going to build a wall, and Mexico was going to pay for it. Since taking office, he has reiterated this same sentiment many, many times.

And yet now, through a GoFundMe page, Trump supporters are volunteering to pay for the wall. It's a horrific bait-and-switch that, ironically, is symbolic of much of Trump's presidency.

The very idea of a border wall between the United States and Mexico is a foolish endeavor, designed to gin up anti-immigrant fear and resentment....

No, it shows that HIS SUPPORTERS understand that Trump is being stymied by the deep state, and we are willing to reach into our own pockets to help him.

That is how I see it. Donald Trump did not ask for this, it was offered by a private citizen, a disabled veteran, out of desperation due to a government that will not do its job and ACT.

And all we get from it is the Left ridiculing this disabled veteran.

How I despise the Media in general and CNN in particualar. When they go the way of the way of the dodo and every single damn one of them from top to bottom has to find a job, I will not feel even a twinge of sympathy.

THE BORDER WALL: What it’s REALLY ABOUT!

As anyone with a brain saw during the “Kavanaugh Klusterhump”, the Marxist/Socialist Democrats on the Left (but I repeat myself, thrice) will do ANYTHING to seize and retain P.O.W.E.R. Senator Graham got it exactly right during that would-be lynching.

In addition to their having philosophically captured HUGE slugs of the academic, judicial, administrative and, yes, ecclesiastical sectors beginning back in the Wilson and Roosevelt eras, their Marxist Socialist Utopia was not developing quickly enough for them.

Comes then the so-called “Feminist Revolution” of the 70s during which the Left convinced millions of American women that having, raising children and maintaining a home (and “baking cookies”!) was BENEATH THEM. The feminists succeeded in persuading women that despite the historically valid fact that mothers performed one of the most vital activities necessary to preserve a national culture: The passing down to the young the values FORMERLY considered essential to the maintenance of the culture. Millions of now “emancipated” women fled the home for the workplace and, as a direct result, the birthrate dropped to around 1.2 child per couple, below the 2.1 figure necessary to offset the mortality rate. Our native population is SHRINKING and that trend continues. (Obviously, this topic requires a separate analysis and essay.)

Over the post-Wilson/FDR years, the Left – aided by quasi-socialist Republicans – erected a welfare system designed to lure the less “ambitious” among us to the dole. Not only have the less “ambitious” native born availed themselves of those programs, so have the estimated 22 million who have managed to slip through our currently porous border. Thanks also mainly to the efforts of Democrats when they have succeeded in gaining majorities in Congress and the White House, eligibility rules for those programs have been relaxed for most of those 22 million. Though they probably needn’t have done so, Democrats continually remind those scores of millions of welfare recipients – legal and ILLEGAL – that they owe their fealty and their VOTES – again, legal and ILLEGAL (think Broward County here and only God knows how many others) to – THEIR DEMOCRAT BENFACTORS.

Which brings us to today.

These new, improved leftist Democrats – and some very stupid and short-sighted National Chamber of Commerce GOP business types seeking bottom line enhancing slave wage workers - want these mostly young, physically fit, military age MEN to fill in the ranks of their already significant cohort of loyal welfare constituent Democrat voters in order to assure their ascent to and hold on the political power necessary to fully birth their cockamamie Utopian tyranny despite the history of tragic and deadly failure for which such systems are infamous.

And those millions of young, physically fit military age men (an unknown number of whom are MS13 and other criminals)? They will become the modern equivalent of Hitler’s Storm Troopers or Einsatzgruppen the ruling Democrats will conscript to ruthlessly – and successfully — crush the resistance to their Utopian tyranny by the by-then minority of remaining Americans who remembered and cherished the Founders’ vision of liberty and promise for this place — this IDEA – called “AMERICA”.

Hopelessly afraid and more... !

The bigger TheTrumpWall gotofund grows the more the leftwing media, in its uncontrollable derangement, will attack it. The more they attack it the more patriotic Americans will support it.

The leftwing media will be in a self-defeating feedback loop - just like 2016 deja vu all over again.

What kind of real conservative would oppose this?

There is no such thing as bad publicity. Every time some left wing media type does a story on this gofundme effort, another real American decides to contribute.

So now someone needs to come up with a way to build the wall for a reasonable price.

Excellent dollar amount, not participation.

Schumer claimed on the Senate floor that POTUS’s base was less than 25% of the USA! He probably estimated that figure from donors on #GoFundTheWall page.

The figure that is important is the number participating in the fundraiser NOT the dollar amount.

Was that true when Democrats advocated it?
