All Donald Trump’s Deplorables
Even Hillary Clinton consigned only half of Trump supporters to her infamous ‘basket.’

https://www.wsj.com/articles/all-donald-trumps-deplorables-11610406826

Whatever political future Donald Trump might have envisioned for himself is now dead. He squandered a good chunk of it in the Georgia runoffs, when he made them all about himself instead of about keeping Republican control over the Senate. But it was finished off by the mob of his own supporters who stormed the Capitol this past Wednesday and inflicted more lasting damage on their man than anything his enemies ever managed.

At the moment, Washington is consumed with just how humiliating Mr. Trump’s exit will be—with a second impeachment, with the 25th Amendment invoked, with his resignation. There’s even talk of holding a Senate trial when he’s no longer president.

But for anyone who cares about unity and healing, the president’s fate is no longer the primary concern. More important is the future for the half of America that supported him. Because there is an effort to lump the 74 million Americans who voted for Mr. Trump with those who rampaged through the Capitol—thus rendering them unfit for polite society going forward.

There’s no denying the reality of the thugs. But let me tell you about the people I know who attended that rally. To a person, they are decent, ordinary Americans who didn’t enter the Capitol and wouldn’t dream of disobeying a police officer.

...more behind paywall

WSJ has always been part of the PSYOP—opposed to the wall, opposed to tariffs on China, opposed to withdrawing from neocon wars.

What we are dealing with here is an attempt at corporate dictatorship.

1. CCP and derps own the corporations.
2. Corporations own the media
3. Media owns the RAT politicians and many of the Repubs.
