The ruling class beat Trump. Now it's salting the earth.

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.

Is that even legal?

Congress could repeal it any time.

President Trump increased his vote by at least 12 million votes. He smashed Obama’s record and made significant inroads into the Black and Hispanic vote. You have zero evidence that even a single voter from 2016, but direct evidence that he grew his support by 20%. That you give any credence to the fraudulent Biden numbers says a lot. Any organization that can steal an election can pack SCOTUS.

That depends on us. If we truly believe in the 1st and 2nd amendments.

The Deep State stole an election from We the People. Not just any election, but one in which Trump won overwhelmingly. Having succeeded in 2020, the rats will never lose again.

The bait and switch will soon occur, when Biden steps down and the ever-flexible Commie Harris takes over. Who do you think becomes her VP?

Won’t pack the court? Why not? They’ve promised statehood for welfare state societies, PR and DC. Don’t dismiss them.

President Trump is banned from ever more social media outlets. We are losing our voice as well as national memory. How long will FR remain?

The rats are fast consolidating power in a one party state.
