I agree.
I think back to my earliest days at FR back in 1998, we felt like we were conspiracy kooks at EVERY turn.
Little did we know that we’d greatly UNDERESTIMATED the deviousness of the Clintons, their handlers like Soros, henchmen, and associates. We are living a political corruption scandal that is very deep and powerful, but could possibly be brought to an end if Trump and the American people have the guts to get on with it.
Trump has been for the most part living up to my expectations, and I think that the more he puts the right people into place, the good stuff is coming.
He’s likely to allow the system to destroy itself by starting at the bottom of the totem pole, slowly working up, ensnaring the bigger fish in a nice little game that he’s in control of. He seems to enjoy that kind of thing. He’s too old and wealthy enough to be looking at this Presidency in the wrong light. Call me naive, but this last chapter of his career is for a higher calling.
Since first discovering Free Republic, I've learned a bit about "normalcy bias" first hand as it applies to our political and social realities and the truths that can NEVER be told, but I couldn't make much sense of it.
Fortunately, the movie Men In Black came along about the same time with an explanation.
Obviously, Agents J and K are talking about alien life not of Earth, but I've ran into the same sort of thing talking politics with progressive true believers who get all of their info from the media echo chamber.
Here are two examples that helped me. The first:
Kay: Humans, for the most part, don't have a clue. Don't want one.And the second:
They're happy. They think they have a good bead on things.
Edwards: Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.
Kay: We do not discharge our weapons in view of the public!That last part seems to hit the nail squarely on the head.
Jay: Man, we ain't got time for this cover-up bullshit! I don't know whether or not you've forgotten, but there's an Arquillian Battle Cruiser that's about to...
Kay: There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT!
Trump has his work cut out for him and he won't be getting much help from either party and about half of the US population.
God bless Donald J. Trump for taking on the impossible!
