The problem with America’s Left is that it seeks to mainstream, or at least de-marginalize dysfunction. Violent offenders, Sharia-adherents, and non-productive citizens deserve to be marginalized and targeted, not championed as they are by Leftists who laud thug’s unions, like BLM and oppose workfare that brought millions out of dependency and into proud, productive lives.
The 2016 Election was NOT about Trump. It was part of the global rise of Nationalism. That’s a very good development.
BREXIT was just the first shocking salvo. Europe’s rage against the Islamic invasion there was the 2nd. Trump’s anti-globalist agenda winning in the U.S. was the 3rd, and LePen and Wilders taking power in France and Belgium respectively will almost certainly be the next.
JFK, a proud Supply Side (a voracious tax-cutter who claimed, “A rising tide lifts all boats”), a vehement anti-Internationalist/anti-One Worlder and vicious anti-Communist, was the last POTUS to go to war with America’s corrupt and incompetent Intelligence community. Both JFK & RFK were more rabidly anti-Leftist than any pols to date!
Hell, “Bobby” (RFK) worked as famed McCarthyite Roy Cohen’s right-hand man in the 1950s.
Today, decency has a much tougher fight against the nefarious forces of Internationalism. No decent, hard-working American should consider their Leftist neighbors “fellow Americans” any longer. These anti-Nationalists are also anti-Americans, as much as America IS a nation, with a clearly defined culture and heritage.
As a lifelong Conservative Democrat (I remain a registered Democrat), I will give Trump a chsnce, despite his “New York values” (pro-abortion, pro-gay, etc.) not only because I share some of them; I am pro-abortion, as blacks, now 12% of the population, down from 13.2% account for 37% of abortions nationwide…in fact, I support mandatory contraception for the dependent poor. I am also pro-gay rights…BUT because I know we need a strong Nationalist, anti-One Worlder stance here in the U.S.
IF Trump fails, we’ll need to go further (perhaps Bannon?). I DO, however, support Trump divesting himself from his global real estate concerns and invest his fortune in taking back our corrupt, globalist media. Of course, as POTUS, he couldn’t run our media outlets himself, but he COULD have family members run them while he’s in Office WITHOUT ANY technical conflict of interest.
