Don’t pretend that high prices and American suffering are a ‘bug’ for the establishment — it’s a historic feature
NY Post ^ | 11 Mar 2022 | Glenn H Reynolds

Well, the establishment is doing it again. As author Julia Song tweeted: “Sh*t is so fake that the minute an outsider took office we got cheap gas, cheap food, became energy independent, no wars and focused on our country’s own issues. Establishment hacks get back in and we have inflation, medical tyranny, world war 3, need to take a mortgage for gas.”

Yes, the record of those establishment hacks seems pretty bad. Of course, that assumes they want cheap gas, cheap food, energy independence and to promote America’s interests. There’s every reason to think the opposite: We’re not getting cheap gas, cheap food, energy independence, etc. because that’s not what the establishment wants. What we’re getting is what the establishment does want; if we don’t like it, tough.

Don’t take my word for it, ask the establishment. In 2008, President Barack Obama’s science advisor, Steven Chu, told The Wall Street Journal, “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.” Well, we’ve got that now, more or less. The establishment doesn’t like cheap gas, because it encourages ordinary Americans to drive, fly, heat their homes and generally enjoy life.

What if “they” wanted to unseat the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency?

What would they do different?

This is all so true!
I used to look at all the troubles of society and think how easy they were to solve. Anyone could come up with plans to close the border, for example. It became obvious that they didn't want to solve them; it was being done on purpose. Then Trump comes along and demonstrates how it can all be fixed. It was awesome to behold! If Obama, Clinton or any other Democrat had achieved a tenth of what Trump did they would have been lionized; schools named after them, Nobel Prize, you name it. I mean, look at Obama. He was awarded the Peace Prize for winning the election.

But Trump was impeached instead. Twice.

Polls consistently show majorities don’t want America to act as the world’s policeman, don’t want open borders, don’t want our jobs and industries exported overseas, and heartily support voter photo ID/secure elections. Nevertheless, neither Democrat OR Republicans (surprise!) seem to accomplish what we the people want. Trump was the first president in my lifetime who actually kept promises, and that includes Reagan who unfortunately was stymied by party moderates and a Democrat congress. It’s a sad situation, but until more Americans wake up and start voting the bums out, nothing is going to change.

Americans wake up and start voting the bums out,

If we don’t get rid of these machines

( all made by Communist china)

voting is futile.

Most effective administration I have ever seen!! And they are just getting started. Midterms will mean nothing. Probably accelerate things even more.

They are laughing at you. Making absolute shit up. And are well on to the next smash up while you are crying about the last.

Now you know why they pulled out all the stops to steal the election, If Trump had 2 consecutive Terms, it would END the Gloablist’s marxist dream of being Slave Masters to the entire world population.

We have made Kings and Queens out of our servants. Why are we surprised when they want to wipe their boots covered in blood on our backs?

They, being those who want the citizens to be serfs, are not going to stop until they ARE stopped. No asking, no petitioning, no elections are going to give us freedom. It is taken back by proud patriots.

I think the sides are pretty much drawn up, how long until we are crushed or STAND?

It seems to me, that the crushing has long ago commenced.
