The author is a libertarian who isn't a big Trump fan, but it's an interesting perspective nonetheless.
A Long, Hot Summer is Coming
by Eric Peters
Whatever happens, it’s going to get ugly.
If Trump is nominated, there will be riots – the Perpetually (and professionally) Aggrieved will take to the streets.
If Trump is denied the nomination, there will be riots – as the people come face to face with the true nature of the system they were taught to respect since childhood.
Not since 1861 has America been so clearly divided. These divisions transcend mere political differences of opinion over this or that policy. There is a fundamental schism. Irreconcilable differences. The two sides
detest each other, have almost nothing in common. And so can no longer live together.
Trump has been likened to Hitler – which is unfair. He is no Hitler. He is a crony capitalist and some other things, too. Mussolini, maybe.
But he
isn’t Hitler.
However, he is riding a wave – make that a tsunami – similar to the one that led to the chancellorship of the German Reich (as it was styled in those days) falling into the hands of the former
gefreiter. The people of Germany had been driven to a state of desperation and frenzy by decades of economic evisceration of their country and thus, of themselves. Their country had been ruled over by a revolving, insular cabal of greedheads and frauds, some nothing more than puppets of financial interests, who milked the cow for their and their masters’ benefit.
Sound familiar?
People lacked jobs – and those who did have them felt insecure in them. Depraved elements seemed to be having a field day. Things appeared to be falling apart all around them.
The people had had enough …
genug.
And in their desperation,
elected Der Fuhrer.
People forget this – or never learned this.
Hitler did not seize power, He was freely elected by a majority in an election whose results are not and never were disputed insofar as whether ballots were stuffed or otherwise rigged. They weren’t. The people turned to Hitler because there was – as they saw it – no one
else to turn to.
When one is drowning, one tends not to be picky about the life preserver one grabs.
Today, the life preserver – as he is seen by his supporters – is Trump.
People have had enough of Beltway Conservative greedheads and frauds. The Mitt Romneys and Jebs! and other Bushes (which includes Ted Cruz and his wife, both Bushes in every way except DNA). They have flashed on to the reality that electing any of these people will mean More of The Same. More “free trade” deals that are as free as China. More Wall Street pilfering of their livelihoods to benefit “shareholder value.” More work for less pay. More wars, endlessly. Less and less freedom – all the while prattling about it and waving the flag ever more furiously.
They have had
genug.
Trump may not be a Libertarian savior – any more than he is a revenant Hitler. But he is not one of
them. And the people revere him for this. He is their weapon – the first one they’ve actually got their hands on since at least 1964 – with which they hope to at least stab out an eye, if only for hate’s sake.
It’s that bad – or that good, depending on your perspective.
The rictus of choreographed outrage directed Trump’s way by the House Organs of DC-New York GOP, Inc., speaks volumes about the mortal danger the establishment is in for the first time in literally living memory.
It’s interesting to recall the motto emblazoned on the standards of the NSDAP. It was
Deutschland Erwache!
Germany Awake!
America is awakening.
And the greedheads and frauds who’ve been milking the country for years are absolutely petrified. Because no matter what happens now, they are done.
A Trump nomination – and likely victory in November over the obvious fraud Hillary (despite her core support among embittered lesbians and such, she is as “liberal” as The Chimp was a “conservative”…
and the people (including people on the political left) know this… she’s a tool, another greedhead… it is why Sanders, an
honest socialist, has been embarrassing her for months) will be the ruin of the DC-New York GOP, Inc. They will be turned out like cur dogs, lucky to find work as Starbucks barristas and Wal Mart “associates” – which would be orgiastic to see. Imagine, for instance, Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity with aprons around their waists, asking whether you’d like them to leave room for cream… .
Deny Trump what he has earned – what the
people obviously want – and the GOP will find itself as delegitimized as the Ceausescu regime circa fall, 1989.
And just might experience the same fate.
It could not happen to a more deserving crowd.
