“No wonder they perceive him as a potent threat.”
The left always knew that a Conservative Populist could literally WIPE THEM OUT, by appealing to what had been the base of the left (minorities, working class whites, etc.), so they did EVERYTHING in their power to prevent those kinds of candidates from gaining power.
And their main weapon was FEAR. The FEAR that a leader like that would simply destroy the country, especially for their prior base (again, minorities and working class whites) - who still voted Democrat, but are otherwise totally ignored by Democrats. As long as these people FEARED people like Trump, and voted him down, then the myth would continued.
But they also knew that if someone like Trump would slip through and show the country (and now the world) that things can be better, much better for the left-behinds of the Democrats that they were FINISHED. And now we’re there, with Trump holding his base solid, while also picking up black support.
The kill shots will be the next 2 elections. If our side wins those, the Left will have to seriously regroup and most likely move strongly in our direction, if they want to ever compete again.
Yes, through the politics of personal destruction which has become a broken record of continual implied sexual scandal to the point that no one is listening except those occupying their echo chamber. The funny thing about Trump is that he started off saying I am not a saint or a monk, so what? So they doubled down. But their weapon was fear, not scandal in itself.
You are talking about the shock troops, the useful idiots.
The dumb masses of voters (and I agree the Left is at risk of losing them) are not behind the coup.
The coup was designed, and is being run, by very powerful men. Some of them have planes, tanks, and guns.
Don't kid yourself. Globalism, and globalist wars, have been on the agenda at the Army War College, the National Defense University, and similar training environments for O-5 and up for a very long time. What sort of man do you suppose got a third or fourth star under Obama, or the idiot from Texas, or Clinton, or HW Bush, for that matter?
I do not think the organizers of this ongoing coup will go down without a fight.
BOTH parties have been preventing US from electing anyone who would side with US and the rule of law for 30 years.
The Bush League Republicans have used FEAR of Democrats to keep US voting for open borders/amnesty candidates Republicans.
