the Establishment was still clueless about the anger across his nation.
Come on Doug, take the rose colored glasses off, they were not and are not clueless. THEY DON’T CARE! and they will do everything humanly possible to squish all the peasant subjects that dare question their quisling ways.
It’s even more insidious that that. Not only are they aware of the rising tide of anger. They actually hope and believe they can dilute us fast enough that we won’t have a card to play because we will be strangers in a strange land, held captive as milk cows for the massive unproductive wave of hostile third worlders they have brought in.
My glasses are progressive lenses, but I assure you they are not rose colored. That would be so gay.
I guess I need to clarify clueless. They were, of course, aware of anger, however, they totally miscalculated the degree of anger. Trump has also tapped into the anger of those who do not typically identify with conservatives -— the people who need jobs and finally realize how the invasion is affecting them.
