Great points all.
With all their (Democrat media) typical venom directed as usual towards whomever the incoming Republican President is, Trump was supposed to take the humble obligatory meek attitude towards them. AND APOLOGIZE. And, say, “What do I have to do to not offend you?”.
The more Trump fights back the more deranged they become. They have no play book to go back to. Old methods of intimidating and taming a Republican President don’t work on Trump.
Old standard bearing Republicans like Romney, McCain and the Bushies were “rightly” educated and trained by the Democrat media when they were young so they knew how to behave and, of course, to be offended by any Republican who would dare to stand up to the Democrat media.
All true, Trump has broken the mold of submissive Republican politicians like McCain and Romney who would let the DNC-Media dictate how they should behave. (One time McCain fought back when they claimed his wife was an addict/alchy, he responded by saying he was still waiting for the media to interview Obama’s drug dealers. It silenced them, put their blatant partisanship and hypocrisy on full display but then McCain stopped. He gave Obama a pass on Rev Wright, the black Heinrich Himmler who baptized Obama’s children. He should have sunk Obama with that psychotic racist, who deserved it, but cowardly declined.) Romney sat back while Obama’s campaign adviser Stephanie Cutter spent $27MM on radio ad space calling Romney a murderer, since a Bain company did away with a woman’s health care insurance and she died of cancer. Romney wasn’t even there at the time, it was a blatant lie. He should have called Obama a liar to his face on the debate stage and he would have been justified, but remained silent. He did not fight back. It was very noticeable cowardice. It was something you do not want in a leader.
Trump has none of these cowardly traits. He steps into delicate politically correct situations and he wields a giant sledge hammer. I find it refreshing that he talks back to these arrogant progressive elites and tells them things like ‘Black People - what do you have to lose? Look what the Dems have done for your lives and communities, absolutely nothing.’ That does not go over well. If the Dems lose the minority vote the Democrats may never win another Presidential election. They must attack him as a racist, they must stop the cracks in the dam, if he opens the flood gates it can be the end of their party.
Trump fights back, threatens their perches, and can steal a chunk of their base that makes them unsustainable as a political party. Trump could destroy the Democrats and their socialist agenda. Trump is immune to their attack playbook and they are at wits’ end because they cannot stop him. The more they hate him, the stronger he grows. The more they call him “racist” the more his supporters know the opposite is true. The more they deny and denigrate his followers, the more loyal they become - and the more they realize that Trump is their salvation.
That’s why he is a massive threat. Democrats for years told black people basically ‘to shut up and just vote Democrat or the Republicans will put y’all back in chains’, meanwhile - I hope you enjoy Baltimore. Obama never once campaigned in a black neighborhood. It was an incredible display of arrogance about owning a vote and daring them to vote somewhere else. There is opportunity when your rivals neglect their customers’ needs.
It explains the racist vitriol, because the Dems see their nuclear reactor is leaking badly and they have to stop the meltdown. I have never seen the “Racist” accusation thrown around so much as it has recently, and that is saying something since it is the number one political bludgeon in the DNC arsenal.
Trump will likely win the next election and hopefully the House. His second term could create big change, dismantle the socialist deep state apparatus and then tackle the spending problem. If he has the House and Senate he may be a juggernaut, an unstoppable force that put the courts, the economy, the minorities, the law, immigration, foreign relations, and even the culture - all on a positive track for years to follow. Who will come after Trump? He will have changed the Republican party as a sharp foil to the stupidly leftward drift of the Democrat Party. It will be very interesting how future politicians attempt to carry his torch.
