He’ll likely lose - but Trump is the final warning to elites
The Globe and Mail ^ | oct 07, 2016 | John Ibbitson

Donald Trump will probably lose the election. But he is a final warning. Unless political elites of both the left and the right become more humble, unless they once again ask themselves how their agendas will play in Peoria, the next rough beast might slouch over the corpse of the republic.

A Hillary Presidency would almost certainly result in a second Civil War. . .

After the final warning comes the tempest, not another chance for the corrupt elite to make nice.

If Trump loses many of us will be devoting our energy to other methods (than electoral) of securing a future for ourselves and our posterity. As always the brilliance of our founders illuminates our path.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

It’s from a poem by Keats.

The Second Coming.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

No, it will be because of the globalist Left, the UniParty that we have running the Republican Party machine, giving Democrats everything Obama wanted. Now they are trying to give him the election.

Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz just now engage? Do you smell a fish?

It’s a pony show for power and redemption and benefits the UniParty.

Both parties and our financial masters own all the candidates, from Jeb to Cruz. TRUMP is a rarity. He must be stopped.

This article is junk. The author is a leftist.

And I don’t care who loses their jobs as a result of tariffs being brought down in trade deals. If people want “protection” for their jobs/income maybe they should go live in their mommy’s basement and have her take care of him/her.

One can only hope so, the alternative is George Orwell's worst nightmare come true. We can hope for a velvet revolution, there have been a few in the last 20 years.

But any objective look at the USA will have to concede that it's much less likely to work here than it did the Czechoslovakia.

If you haven't read this book I urge you to do so.

We won’t have to worry about a civil war here. We’ll be at war with Russia if Hillary is preaident, and thankfully that won’t happen.

Better pray Trump doesn't lose...we will not get another chance (voting wise anyways).

Once the Beast stacks the supreme court, we'll be out of reasonable options.

And sadly it is demoralizing some people on our side who always expect to lose.

He may lose but it isn’t likely and if he does it will be through massive vote fraud for this globalist elite feels empowered by American indifference.

Trump is our last chance. There is no do over. It will take a armed rebellion to correct the error. None of us wants that so we must get out and vote.

Amen! You said it better than I

CWII Ping!

FR rules do not permit advocating for the overthrow of the Republic, and I am not aware of anyone doing so on the list. Still many do see that as the political climate worsens we may be heading in a direction that makes such a conflict all but inevitable, particularly if other avenues for resolving our differences are taken away. Such as widespread vote fraud by leftists making elections meaningless, or a small cadre of judges over-ruling all attempts to end destructive policies over the clear will of the people.

The correct keyword tag for the Civil War II ping list is "CWII".
Please Freep Mail me to get on the list

He’s not going to lose.

Trump is the only person who can take out Trump.

“...second Civil War...”

Trump might be our only chance. The generations born since the 1960’s or so and raised on TV and the government school brainwashing will not produce enough Americans willing to fight. They will be taking selfies instead.

The mid 40’s age group and younger are extremely unlikely to man up for a Civil War to overthrow the fascist totalitarian oligarchy that Hillary and her globalists will impose on the former America.

I hate to appear cynical but the majority, with the government’s help, have raised snowflakes and beta males.
