Hey, you don’t have to convince me... I’m just afraid.
I’ve been defending the Donald for the traits he’s packaging for consumption. I’m guilty as charged.
the date rape drug has been administered to the right... now they work on the left.
sorry... I’m tremendously suspicious of the process, and the lengths these cretins will go to to underwrite their next conquest of the electorate... remember THEY LAUGH AT OUR STUPIDITY.
But your comment is one of the few that really addresses the big picture. And to your question of whether DT is just another twist on the selling of the concept of "America" to the rubes, the answer is of course.
That's why I think any concerns about DT's safety are misplaced. He's not threatening the status quo in any way, shape or form. The money power couldn't care possibly less if the border was sealed and illegals shipped back home. They would simply shift focus on where the next round of financing deficits would occur. Think of the $trillions that could siphoned off in building a huge fence, militarizing the border, retraining programs, militia organizations, etc.
Now, I'm not saying sealing the border is a bad thing, it's just that we might want to consider who actually benefits. When you are an ant farmer, do you care where the ants burrow & build? Of course not - if they want to concentrate in one section of the farm, then feed them there.
One last thing since we're on this topic: progressives actually think the concentrated media/cultural shift to the left was due to some intrinsic values (which they hold dear). Nope, it was just exploitation to generate advertising revenues and play the markets ahead of the trends.
If we see a shift back to the right (now that debauchery has been normalized), will conservatives believe the country has finally woken up and smelled the coffee? Or will it be time for new controversial actions to drive debate finally by necessity need to go the other way?
Never forget that those who control the right to print money hold all the cards.
