Boy, how I do miss your posts!!!!
Yes, Trump did indeed disrupt the Elite's plan that has been in motion for decades. To be honest, that is why I liked that
he won the 2016 election.
I may not care for him personally, but I loved how he shook up the D.C. Establishment. And for many voters, it was a 'fukk u'
vote to all of D.C.
The problem was that Trump was a voice of opposition, but he originated from the same exclusive environs that
the US upper-classes enjoyed. 'A rough diamond' would be the moniker for Donald Trump due to his privileged
background and financial achievements, he was in the in-crowd, but tolerated to some extent.
By the way, there's an important difference between the US elite and the European aristocracy. I'll get back to
that later. (Think pioneering-spirit and the Old World breeding!)
But it was that position in the social strata that was the problem, Trump was shilling for the common man, an easy
narrative that many have used in politics and many of the voters have fallen for in the past. However, he was so
well embedded in the layer of the elite, this narrative implied that helping those on a lower rung of the social ladder
was amenable by those Trump rubbed shoulders with, but they just chose to ignore it!
How the hell do you attack someone who can support themselves financially in a Presidential race, is saying the
things a massive amount of the public want to hear and has ties with those who condemn such plebian abetment?!
Quote:They had to get control back and as you stated, fear was/is their tool. As for Trump, they had to silence him and anyone
who supported him.
But how?
By using Social Media to block him from tweeting and posting on FB. All in the name of "misinformation" and nothing but "lies"
Yes, but the first thing was to paint him as a clown, a buffoon who didn't follow the engrained channels of political discourse
and conducted himself as a bullying harrier. And the ideal arena to perform such a character assassination -in their abstract
view of the world, was in the established media.
I mean no disrespect to those who use internet discussion mediums, but the 'intelligentsia' see these as places of low
verbalization in regards of conveying a message. FaceBook and other forums know this and it's an ideal place to argue
and insult, but any far-reaching and socially-acceptable dynamic can be drowned-out by the multitude of voices on these
sites.
Don't get me wrong, the representation I often offer is a party where young Goth-garbed introverts meet to carefully put
their views to peers that they wish to be part of. Then in come a group of loud-mouthed snobs in attire totally opposite and
confidently hold opinions that counter the original faction.
With both sides believing that they're correct, one assemblage must eventually cede and move to another room.
This is how the haut monde perceive internet discussion forums, soap-boxes to disrupt, but not appreciate as places where
fair interchange of well-thought-out comprehensive ideas can occur.
...............................................
So the mainstream mediums were harnessed to ridicule Donald Trump's attempts to benefit from the 'common-man' approach.
But remember, for quite some time now, the establishment media had been getting lazier and lazier in their reporting.
Press Releases from governing bodies were massaged into serious 'Journalist' articles that hinted that an investigation by a
news outlet took place. When in reality, many of the broadcasted items were politically-charged test-balloons to see if the public
were compliant enough to allow a possible go-ahead.
The first indication of the gulf between what the public thought and what those implementing their agendas believed, was
Britain voting to leave the EU. It just didn't make sense! The UK had gone along with many aspects of the trading agreement
within the bloc and it was only when they saw the centralising of indiviual sovereign power being acquired by certain non-elected
entities, that they decided to leave.
The idea of even offering a referendum to the masses didn't make sense, unless you appreciate the distance between
what the media and politicians believed the public were thinking and actually what the public were truly thinking.
The realisation was so profound that the Prime Minister at the time -David Cameron, resigned.
During this sea-change, Donald Trump was still being seen as the jester in the room by the established movers-and-shakers.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Nigel Farage had been perceived in the same light, but he was merely a focal point that
the controlled media could carefully soften his narrative.
The Class-system in the Old World is different than the one openly displayed in the United States, where the privileged classes
in the US are perceived as affluent people, in the European arena, it's based on 'breeding'. I know this may seem very pompous
and possibly could be suggested as a slight 'dig' at those who lead easy lives of riches and leisure, but it is how the world is when
it comes to managing power.
Europe cannot contend against the US in the market-places of commerce and military competency, the country's original ideals
are antithetical to the European gradation of society, but are slanted towards a majority. Namely the common person.
Europe happily trades with America, but only in physical commodities and the watered-down acceptance of a vague sense of
something called 'freedom'. Sending over a message that not only elevates the notion of 'opportunity is when you try', but also
remind the heavily-controlled slowly-boiling frogs of Europe that should re-check the temperature!
And here we are with a rich extrovert who displays the credo "You can be anything in America!", who says in blunt terms that he's
standing up for the regular guy on the street and also... is listening to Goths in the other room. Such outrageous rhetoric cannot
be tolerated because it can fit into any society... into any continent and that was the main concern.
Quote:I mean, since when did social media give a damn about facts vs lies anyway?!
There has always been plenty, long before Trump entered the political scene.
But no one's posts grabbed the Worlds attention as did Trumps tweets.
He would call anyone and everyone out for their shortcomings and they just could not have that.
Or boast of his latest triump, which that was not acceptable either
So they themselves made up lies on Trump to turn the public against him, especially since the Dems didn't have anyone worth a shit
running in 2020 (the CNN guy got caught on video saying as much)
They had to! I agree with you about not having a comparable candidate to rival Trump, the locked-in system of the DNC made sure
that those with the greatest 'persuasive' powers -if you know what I mean, would be the appropriate opponent for the race.
They were sure that if any of the mud they hurled at Trump's campaign stuck, then the first woman in history to sit behind the Resolute
desk would allay the worries of those in real power that everything was back to normal and the great dumbed-down unwashed will be
lulled back to sleep.
The mud stuck and the public cheered for Trump, the accusations of womanising and the silly racial baiting were thrown across the
fronts of the major newspapers (that the Goth-kids at the party never read!) and the public guffawed at Trump's rallies. Even when
they suggested that fourteen US security agencies could prove Donald Trump was really Donald Boris Trumpinski, the scary fear-porn
fell on deaf ears of those who were simply tired of the way they'd been treated.
(I'll answer the other part of your posting in another one of these, if I may?)
