We need a French Revolution style cleansing.
“We need a French Revolution style cleansing.”
No, any forceful purge would play right into their strategy. The deep state uses its MSM monopoly to spin any direct action as tyranny. Trump or anyone else who led the charge would be easily branded as a tyrant. McCarthy and his allies tried to use their positions as a powerful Senate committee chairmen to prosecute communists which infested DC. What he failed to understand is that public perception is everything. He had them dead to rights - if it had been a fair trial he would have won easily - because they were guilty as hell.
But the deep state (or its equivalent at the time) was able to use its MSM monopoly to wage a propaganda campaign depicting McCarthy as a maniacal, drunken, paranoid, delusional monster who was destroying innocent people’s lives in the pursuit of “imaginary” communists. The people bought it hook line and sinker, and McCarthy was laughed out of town. McCarthy had the truth on his side but failed to realize it wasn’t a war of facts, it was a war of public relations. So he lost badly.
What is needed now is a winning PR strategy. Public perception is where the real battlefield is - they have been winning because we have been slow to realize it’s all about MSM control and propaganda.
Trump is a master public relations guy. He is trolling the MSM and the SES and flushing them out into the open. The people are starting to catch glimpses of “the man behind the curtain”, thanks to Trump.
The last thing Trump needs is to be associated with a French style revolution - or any other show of force - it would be too easy to brand him as a McCarthy or a Nixon. That’s what they are trying to bait him into doing.
Trump will win by showing the public that he is not out to destroy political opposition - he’s not interested in squelching dissent - he’s not out for revenge against those who tried to destroy him. He’s simply trying to put America First, return the power to We The People, and MAGA.
By NOT using his executive power to wipe out his political enemies, Trump will earn the trust of the people - and that is where true power comes from.
