The ruling class beat Trump. Now it's salting the earth.
American Thinker ^ | 10 Jan, 2021 | John Green

The message is clear: "challenge us again at your own peril."

Donald Trump has the distinction of being the first challenger to our political ruling class in my lifetime. This ruling class is not strictly party-related. It comprises a broad array of Democrats (almost all of them), Republicans (a significant number of them), the media (the propaganda ministry), and bureaucrats (those faceless government employees who formed the "resistance" against the will of the people).

The Donald challenged their power, and now they're exacting their revenge. Whether fairly or fraudulently, he's been defeated for re-election, but that's not enough. Now his legacy must be destroyed and his supporters crushed. The ruling class is determined to ensure that no form of Trumpism or any challenge to their authority ever rises again.

Ancient mythology holds that conquering armies would salt the earth of beaten civilizations. This salting was a curse to forestall any future re-habitation. It was meant to ensure that a beaten civilization would never again challenge the victor. The beaten were to stay beaten.

We've reached the "salt the earth" stage of the ruling class's victory over the Trump movement. Democrats are demanding that President Trump be removed from office, via impeachment or the 25th Amendment — just two weeks before the end of his term. Twitter has banned him for life. Representative Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) has even submitted legislation to prohibit federal buildings from ever being named after Donald Trump. It's not enough that he was defeated for re-election; he must also be humiliated.

I think the scorched Earth policy is just beginning. Joe and Spread Eagle are not even in office yet.

Trump should declassify and release important coup attempt documents, but he is opposed and the opposition seems to be refusing.

That depends on us. If we truly believe in the 1st and 2nd amendments. We will not allow this to stand but then again maybe the right never really believed in any of that?

Trump lost an election. That’s all.

You need to remember that SCOTUS has been saved, so Trump’s legacy is ensured.

Biden is not going to be able to pack the court.

IMO the next step after Trump is out of office is to charge him criminally and have him jailed.

Trump isn’t going to go quietly so to permanently silence him it’s off to jail he goes while his business interests get bankrupted

He will after one of its rulings eventually gives him the excuse he needs.

He can’t. He won’t. He knows it.

Believing he can is no less ignorant for our side, than it was for the Left.

Pretty sure Lin Wood and Rudy Giuliani would publish just about anything. They seem to have reached the “let the chips fall where they may” point in life.

The Ruling Class thinks it has won--that it has stolen an election back from those who would defy it. But they are wrong.

They--the Ruling Class--have been used. They have been played.

There has been a coup all right. But it isn't the Ruling Class who has the power.

The Ruling Class--Democrats and Republicans--need to take a look behind themselves and see who it is that has made this coup possible. Who it is that has indoctrinated Americans through the media, the schools, and entertainment so as to make them eager for this new message of socialism/communism.

They already have a 20,000 page Counterterrorism bill ready to go. They tried to pass it a year or two ago and failed, even the ACLU opposed it at the time because they said it would criminalize all dissent.

I guarantee you the ACLU won't put up a fight again since the bill will be targeting "Neo-Nazis" and "White Nationalists".

They have crossed the Rubicon. They stole a landslide victory from a sitting President. Either they consolidate total power or they face long jail terms. In other words they can and they must seize total power if they are going to survive. That means making the Constitution mean whatever they want it to mean and only packing the courts is going to do that.

On January 6th the populist anti swamp movement was reborn.

“The GOP are belong to US!”

The totalitarian left felt a mere twitch of The People’s collective will.So did the GOP.

It scared the bejasus out of them oth and they began freaking out, making them impossibly incompetent to run the country.

Now the swamp knows it can never defeat the People. Their cause is futile.The GOP also knows that its swamp days are numbered.The pork train is about to be forever derailed.

And so they want to destroy everything before they leave?

Leave they must.

Donald Trump is the duly elected President of the United States. Something they cannot forget.And the swamp knows that America knows that Donald Trump is President.

They freak out because they know they reap the whirlwind.And they will pay.

Everything this quisling administration does from now on is illegal.Everything that Congress does from now on is illegal.And the GOP at uts RINO level is complicit, including Pence.

Let the leftist totalitarian freak out continue.

It shows America that Washington is now in the hands of Quislings.

And America will not tolerate it.

The only way the Swamp can succeed iin its draconian fascist action, is to have The People go back to sleep.

But the alarm clock rangon the 6th January. The People are fully awake. And this paroxysm of totalitarian twitches is theior last hurrah. They realize they can never defeat The People.

They are DONE.

America is now shown that the left and its liberal fascists are incapable of running our government. Let their tantrum continue. They have no legitimacy, and they have no power because the People allow them none.

Now we engage in what our founders called “the animating contest of liberty,” and there can be only one outcome, their defeat.

“The ruling class beat Trump. Now it’s salting the earth.”

Our rulers cannot stand a leader who can’t be bought —

What’s that oldie?...What’s the diff between a prostitute and a politician? NONE— U pay both their fee and they adopt the position you want..
