top heavy with left wing Ivy league Liberals

You make a lot of good points about the media and bureaucracies, but I think your remarks would exhibit more insight - and resonated more powerfully - if you refrained from using the label "liberals".

I think to a wider audience, the term liberal implies someone interested in using state power to achieve their concept of economic equity & social justice.

What the US is actually facing is a much graver threat than just differences of opinion as to domestic policy. Rather, this is truly a battle of globalists vs nationalists, with globalists interested in power for power's sake. (1984 isn't a warning, it's a field guide.)

Both the media and those who work within the federal government are long past harboring any trivial concerns for the common man. These are very active propaganda & internecine campaigns aimed at victory for their side (ie resumption of state power) and defeat of Trump.

Calling the people's enemies liberals does them the favor of reducing the actual threat to a cartoon character of some ridiculous snowflake, when in reality this is an existential struggle for the survival of the nation.

I have been coming around to this perspective in the last year, and believe it or not, my conversion to this way of looking at this has occurred as a consequence of my research into the Civil War. I think that is where most of this began in this country.

It appears we now have a collusion between the powers of government and the Wealthy Elite controlling various industries which make their wealth through government policy, and that these wealthy people who control this industry are far more interested in personal power and influence than they are in the well being of their own nation.

That this manifests itself as international dodges around national powers and constraints is inherent in it's nature. Once your goal is the establishment of yourselves as the "elite" you know longer have your fellow citizens interests at heart.

Both the media and those who work within the federal government are long past harboring any trivial concerns for the common man. These are very active propaganda & internecine campaigns aimed at victory for their side (ie resumption of state power) and defeat of Trump.

Because Trump represents a Teddy Roosevelt like confrontation with the behind-the-scene-power-brokers, and they don't like where this will likely go. Teddy Roosevelt was also "of" this powerful group, and that is why he recognized it's control for what it was; Inimical to the best interests of the nation.

I think Trump has also become awakened to this threat to our nation, and I think he does love America. This puts him on the outs with the Social Strata from which he emerged.

Calling the people's enemies liberals does them the favor of reducing the actual threat to a cartoon character of some ridiculous snowflake, when in reality this is an existential struggle for the survival of the nation.

But this is not necessarily apparent to most people, so rather than go into long complex explanations of which they won't bother hearing, it is best to simplify it.

As Rush Limbaugh used to say, "When we start talking the "green-eyeshade" lingo, people's eyes glaze over and they stop listening to us.
