Trump vs. the Democrat Establishment
American Thinker ^ | 8 Feb, 2025 | Rajan Laad

Posted on 02/08/2025 5:00:33 AM PST by MtnClimber

President Trump has been the target of numerous 'protests' since the day he descended the escalator at Trump Tower to declare his foray into politics. The 'protests' were so widespread that Wikipedia dedicated an entire page to the 'Protests against Donald Trump.’

But it was different this time. There were no major protests or violence from the Democrats or their proxies.

In Virgil’s The Aeneid, set during the Trojan War, the Trojan priest Laocoön warns his people about the Trojan Horse gifted by the Greeks with the words "Timeō Danaōs et dōna ferentēs", i.e. "I fear the Greeks even when they bear gifts."

When the Democrats display civility it is deception.

There are explanations for this restraint. The Democrats made January 6th's 'insurrection' the main theme of the bumbling word salad's campaign; hence, they wanted to be seen as the party that accepts election results.

Perhaps Democrat restraint was because of Trump's emphatic win -- they realized an overt opposition after his elections would appear to be a stand against the public.

Well, we now know that the display of restraint was indeed an act to deceive the public into thinking that they were open-minded about Trump, but now he has gone too far.

The prime target of these 'protests' is Elon Musk and his DOGE initiative. While Trump is pushing his agenda of getting the border secured, protecting children from gender reassignment procedures, rebuilding the military, and eliminating federal DEI programs, DOGE has made many startling discoveries about government corruption. They revealed the amount of taxpayer funds that can be saved due to their efforts.

DOGE, which was created by Trump via executive order, is merely an advisory group. DOGE makes recommendations to constitutional authorities. These authorities decide if the changes have to be made.

Much of the Democrat establishment is composed of Republicans.

The Democrat Party is evil and should be recognized as America’s number one enemy!

This gaggle of ugly, evildoers is more dangerous than any foreign enemies at this time. There is not ONE of them that’s not evil. It’s as though they have pledged an oath to Satan to destroy America gradually in order that we don’t know exactly what’s happening to us. In that they are exactly like a giant python.

No Conservative can name one Democrat that is good for anything and don’t name Fetterman. He’s as looney as a headless chicken.

Victory to oTrump means victory to all Americans.

I like that the progressives named the “Pride” movement after one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

DJT can and will withstand it all. Musk also. Some of the rest may be intimidated and tempted by wealth that would be theirs if they cooperate with the mob. And we cannot discount assassination as the political tool that it is with DJT’s crew the targets.

McConnell is sliding out of effectiveness and when he is no more Kentucky is likely to elect an actual conservative populist to replace him.

I hope the replacement for Moscow Mitch is a true conservative and not another worthless RINO.

Massie and Rand Paul are certainly good omens there. The only problem might be if Brashear runs for it, he’s popular there. Why, I don’t understand.

Pride goes before the fall ... It’s the sin that turned Lucifer into Satan... By all means sodomites have some pride

I figure that if Trump lost the popular vote the moonbats would have been rampaging in the streets.
Winning the pv really took the wind out of their sails..
