It’s a point that bears not only repeating, but obsessing over — Trump’s conviction is bad news for anyone not fully onboard with the Establishment’s agenda. And, given how fake the right wing populists are turning out to be, we all know which side of the fence most of those people fall on, don’t we? Yes, it’s our side, the Left and the few genuine liberals still out there. If the Establishment gets away with doing this to a slightly anti-Establishment figure like Trump, just imagine what they will do to any socialist or genuine liberal who gets in! It will make Trump look like he’s joyfully skipping through the flower-strewn, sunlit fields of paradise!

And that’s assuming that anyone with such altruistic ideals would even try to get in. I absolutely guarantee you that right now there are genuine leftists and liberals thinking “Why the hell should i run for president and get my life ruined like Trump? Even if i miraculously get in i would be ruined financially by court case after court case — it’s not like i have billions to fall back on. And i would be stressed out for the rest of my fucking life by one court case after another after another after another! Financial ruin and ulcers galore, and for what? So that the few changes i get to make before they force me out can be overturned by whatever Establishment stooge they replace me with? Hell no! The job i have may be an ordinary one that carries no power, but neither does it carry a threat of lifelong harassment — or a quick bullet to the noggin!”

Now, i don’t kid myself that this little rant is going to make a difference with all the lefty and liberal fools jumping for joy over this conviction, but i just want to get it on record that i was one of the few who saw the shit coming down the pipe and that i yelled “duck!” as loudly as i could.

 

Rant over.
