"What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security.
Ever since 9/11, yeah.Speaker to Animals wrote:Half way through it. Reminds me of the Obama years, honestly.
I can make a better case that Obama has more in common with Hitler than Trump. You guys realize Trump is incrementally taking power away from Washington DC. That's not a move of tyrants.Speaker to Animals wrote:Half way through it. Reminds me of the Obama years, honestly.

I understand it completely. And in a blind frenzy, they elected the most idiotic candidate in modern history, who has accomplished exactly nothing, save to publicly humiliate the country, in the eyes of all but his most ardent supporters.Speaker to Animals wrote:You're just too blinded by your MSM propaganda-fueled hatred of Trump to see that his election was an example of Americans resisting the very kinds of totalitarianism described in this essay.

The Left's inability to understand Trump is why they continue to lose.
We have been conditioned to political correctness and a certain way politicians speak. Then we have the media to interpret what it means. Trump has not been groomed by a lifetime in government and nice government speech. Politicians always promise straight talk. Well now we finally have it, straight talk in the verbage of the common man, not Establishment Elitists.
Trump is dangerous to the establishment because if an outsider is able to come in and fix the shit they've been 'passionately' talking about for years it will be the end of them.
That's not what I need in a leader with nuclear codes.
