I like your posts as they are generally well reasoned and informative. But, you definitely have an Eeyore streak that could perhaps take benefit from some remedial action. Here's a suggestion: read some books on the 80 years war, the English civil war, the French revolution, the Reformation wars, etc.

What you will discover is that even a horror show like WWI is pretty small potatoes compared to large scale civil revolts. In these cases, and many, many others, it's not uncommon to have in excess of 10% of the population suffer casualties.

Now, what you are apparently suggesting is that Trump is unaware of these historical events, or is sufficiently shallow as to dismiss their importance or relevance to our current situation. That is, if the top level conspirators were to escape justice, then the leftist ideals they express ie confiscating wealth, regulating behavior & ambition, and dictating control, would remain viable.

That in turn sets up an environment for future conflicts, where patriots are literally fighting for their lives as the country falls into civil war. A situation like that of course then leads to an opportunity for China and/or Russia to then make a move while the country is embroiled and weakened.

Think about it - I'm sure Trump does. What's the solution - both the most effective and easiest to accomplish (at this particular point in time)? That's right, drain the swamp, clear out the deep state, and prosecute the evil doers who engineering and executed this treason.

What's the downside? Civil unrest? To what extent - could it even come close to what will surely occur at some future date if the problems are yanked out by their roots today?

Once you reach that conclusion, then it necessarily follows that Trump figured it out some time ago. After all, it's why he ran; he didn't do it for shits & giggles. He is going to be regarded as a titan of history. He was on this long before most, and actually made it happen, while you and many others merely worry/complain over a nice cup a coffee while typing on a screen.

All the more reason to get out and vote for any Republican on the ticket. No good will be served with “protest votes” or “I’ll show’em, I won’t vote.”

I missed your post the other day, but I can take it as constructive criticism...though I have generally not been a pessimist (with an “Eyore” streak) I do succumb now and again.

But I should say, I don’t know how I gave the impression Trump doesn’t know about these things, because he obviously does...he gave a shout out to “my man” Dan Bongino at his Montana rally recently...so he definitely does know.

I am hopeful that Trump does dig away at the swamp regardless of the consequences. If he did, and 70% of the elected officials are guilty of various crimes of corruption and collaboration with foreign entities to enrich themselves such as Feinstein and Clinton, or the now-dead McCain and they were to be ejected from office on both sides, I would be all for it.

What’s it going to do...make government less efficient at stealing from us?
