Did Trump Really Save America From Socialism?
American Spectator ^ | Steve Baldwin

Posted on 08/17/2018 4:17:20 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Americans need to understand that the shocking refusal by a major political party to accept the results of the last election and the onslaught of verbal, legal, and physical assaults the Democrats have engendered, are not specific to Donald Trump. In other words, it is now clear plans were made by Obama to exploit federal power during his presidency to give the Democrats control of our nation — perpetually. It really didn’t matter if Trump was the GOP nominee or not. In other words, the chaos we are witnessing today would not have been much different had, for example, Ted Cruz won the presidency.

Sure, the issues and the phony narratives would be different but the intensity of the attacks would be the same and the illegal politicizing of Federal agencies would probably still have occurred. There is little doubt the Dems would have created phony narratives customized for whoever the nominee was, similar to how they customized the Russian collusion hoax for Trump. This is what the establishment Republicans and the Never-Trumpers don’t understand. Long before Trump’s candidacy, total war was declared on the GOP when the Obama administration strategically created the conditions to make its progressive revolution a permanent one. Or so they thought.

First, let’s dump the naivety. Obama has been fully in charge of both the pre- and post- election attacks on Trump. He is the leader of the resistance. The idea that his appointees at the FBI, DOJ, IRS, CIA, State Department, etc., would risk committing multiple felonies without direction from him or his henchman is simply not believable as many long-time political leaders and observers have stated.

Obama’s fingerprints can be found everywhere in the widening scandal.

The main threat is in our judicial system, polluted with much activism from the left. Waves of lawsuits and obstructions are coming from those judicial activists. The most important objective is cleaning it up as much as possible, for one, by seeing as many good judges and police agency administrators appointed as possible.

That’s the only way conservative presidents can get much good work done in the near future, and that will take some time and much patience on our part. ...along with at least enough intelligence to support the Trump Administration with its own patient strategies.

And the President can’t do it all by himself. We must elect better members of Congress for him this year.

It’s a best a four year delay.


Yep, that is what I said in 2000 when GWB was elected. All we did was put off the inevitable for four years. and look what we got in 2008. One step forward, two steps back.

We need to help him by getting out to vote in the mid terms and when he runs for a second term. It’s up to us to make sure all our friends and relatives get out to vote in November. I hope people understand how important this election is.

Would be hyperbolic to say what is really going on (as described in the article) is an existential threat to the USA and we should begin treating it as such?

Whether Obama is “the” leader of the Dem-socialist revolt is not that clear to me. The worldwide struggle of conservatives (the ordinary man, in my view) is a much broader struggle against an oligarchy of elites. The Left (Democrat/liberal/Marxist/socialist) is really the public action of elitists whose main goal is to live high off of the backs of the working class. Obama simply channeled that here in the U.S. by directing policy against the people and appointing like-minded crooks into the government, a process well advanced before he came to power. Look at who finances Antifa. It isn't just Soros, it's unions and big corporations, as well. Obama is a medium-size fish in the global oligarchy.

All Empires Fall.

America is not and never has been an “Empire”. No one with a brain could believe that, if we wished, we could not have conquered all of North and South America with little effort. We haven’t. We could have taken over large swaths of Europe and the Middle East after WW2. We didn’t; we helped them rebuild. We WOULD DEFINITELY have taken control of Japan. We didn’t.

For marxists, the dialectic demands a struggle between the proletariat and the capitalists. For leftard postmodernists, the oppressed neoproletariat must struggle against the oppressors. This is the future.

Yes. From socialism--and corruption, decadence, destruction, and the Orwellian Nightmare! But the final chapter has not yet been written.

DO NOT WAVER IN YOUR SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP!

WORK ENDLESSLY TO BRING EVERYONE ELSE TO THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT!

MAGA!

Great article. Well worth the read.

One key is missing, like a big dark mass that can’t be seen, but its gravity felt.

Blackmail.

With all the communist dirty tricks Obama initiated, why would they leave out one key tool? Why illegally spy on only Trump?

We’re missing the rest of that iceberg. Explains the lack of enthusiasm from most pubbies in Congress and the Senate. That’s the gravity we can see, from the giant hidden mass called blackmail.

Essential communist tool, always used. Always, always, always.

Excellent point!

What we are learning about their dirty campaign against Trump is REALLY starting to make that John Roberts flip-flop on Obamacare smell REALLY suspicious.

Very good summary of Obama, his background, and the damage that he did to the American political system.

I believe that as well. Especially with g will. His work product through the years was largely boilerplate meant as “comfort food” for the middle-to-right. Nothing bold, nothing revolutionary, just reliable pablum.

This just stands as one more thing I’m grateful to D. Trump for - luring these weevils out from under their rocks.

If DJT did not run for President we would be talking about president Hillary. Knowing what we know now about the level of corruption in our government I think it’s safe to say President Trump saved America period.

You’re welcome to replace empire with country, original form of government, or otherwise. We’ve never been a traditional empire, but that doesn’t mean we’re not at the same risks as actual empires.

Thanks for the clarification. Not “forever”, but there are many contries that have been around for many, many centuries.

My wife and I were trying to think the other day, what countries have been around for a long period of time with their current form of government... we weren't able to name any major ones. France, UK, etc all have relatively new forms of government...

Just curious, historically...

under Obama, in late 2015, over 5,000 Americans had their civil rights violated by illegal FISA “702” search queries, using the NSA/FBI database by “contractors” politically connected to the Democrats. It is believed one such contractor was Fusion GPS,
