I'll start with a little anecdote, from the very recent past. I was visiting my Canadian parents last weekend in a retirement home they moved to in February. Even though Trump controls 80% of the news in Canada, "everyone" there -- including my parents -- agrees that he's an unfit person to be President. You know all the reasons why. For the first couple of days of my visit, I tried to avoid bringing up the midterm election, but for some reason it came up at breakfast on Saturday.
I told them that I considered it very likely that the Trump team was going to win, and explained a couple of reasons why. You know those reasons, too. From behind me, a male voice said, "It makes me very said to hear you say that." I turned to see a gentleman who looked just like Wilford Brimley in a wheelchair. From his vantage point as a retired distinguished professor of literature at an esteemed Canadian university, he shared the reasons for why Trump is an unfit person to be President.
I turned it back on him, and told him what was going on in the underground movement led by Q. I laid out my view of the perfidy of the Democrat Party, their leaders, and their toadies in the media. I told him how may parents had long railed against the international abused of the CIA, and how I now understood that those abuses did not represent the Constitutional government of the United States, but rather the unaccountable power of a global cabal. Within a half hour, I had red-pilled a Canadian academic, and left him begging for more information. My father showed pride in my accomplishment and new interest in the change in American affairs.
Which brings me now to Noam Chomsky, who I just learned has this fall joined the faculty at the University of Arizona in Tucson. (I guess he got tired of those Massachusetts winters.) Like my parents, Chomsky has campaigned for decades against the international abuses of the CIA and the U.S. military. Like may parents he HATES Donald Trump and the horse he ran in on. He states that, "Today's Republican Party is the most dangerous organization in human history," and describes "a level of criminality that is almost hard to find words to describe."
But now I wonder whether Chomsky is closer than he thinks to the patriots who are currently standing up for the Constitution and against the very abuses that he criticizes. Wikipedia credits Chomsky with saying, "If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all." Also "Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state." He has also said:
“The whole educational and professional training system is a very elaborate filter, which just weeds out people who are too independent, and who think for themselves, and who don’t know how to be submissive, and so on — because they’re dysfunctional to the institutions.”
“Education is a system of imposed ignorance.”
“All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.”
“If you look at history, even recent history, you see that there is indeed progress. . . . Over time, the cycle is clearly, generally upwards. And it doesn’t happen by laws of nature. And it doesn’t happen by social laws. . . . It happens as a result of hard work by dedicated people who are willing to look at problems honestly, to look at them without illusions, and to go to work chipping away at them, with no guarantee of success — in fact, with a need for a rather high tolerance for failure along the way, and plenty of disappointments.”
He has stated that President Barack Obama was endangering the very liberties enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. Writing at the progressive website AlterNet, Chomsky expressed fears that the documents exposed by former National Security Agency consultant Edward Snowden showed that the Obama administration habitually and flagrantly violates the Constitution. “It is of no slight import that the project is being executed in one of the freest countries in the world, and in radical violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights, which protects citizens from ‘unreasonable searches and seizures,’ and guarantees the privacy of their persons, houses, papers and effects."
In the few remaining years that he has left, will Chomsky come to see that Trump is the only leader in recent American history that actually stands for freedom and the other rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
I wish I had been there to watch you red pill that professor guy. Isn't it interesting to talk to really smart people who have reached the wrong conclusions? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Excellent job. We have really smart people on our side. And the derps don't even know that.

Well done, sir.
I usually tell folks, regarding Trump not fit to be POTUS, that many in the colonies believed that the fighting style of our Revolutionary militia was a fit way to wage war.
