The people who made Trump possible by coming out to run roughshod over the 2016 Democratic party primary, along with the media who worked in tandem with them to fill the American electorate with hate against the man who thwarted the coronation of our owners chosen one for the entirety of his presidency, and beyond, find themselves between a rock and a hard place of their own making with the machinations that transformed themselves into vapor with the slightest inquiry into the truth behind the scurrilous accusations levied against him.

Any method of painting Trump as the existential threat he is, to their comfortable hiding place behind the government they to protect themselves from the people with, will be used by them in an effort to convince the great unwashed that their demockracy is safe as long as the Great Orange Satan (not to be confused with Daily Kos) is kept as far from the levers of our owners power as humanly possible.

From an article written in July 2022:

And just what is so terrible about Trump anyway? I get many of his critics’ points, I really do. I hear them all the time from my mother. But even if we were to stipulate them all, do Trump’s faults really warrant tearing the country apart by shutting out half of it from the political process?

Love him or hate him, during Trump’s presidency, the economy was strong, markets were up, inflation was under control, gas prices were low, illegal border crossings were down, crime was lower, trade deals were renegotiated, ISIS was defeated, NATO allies were stepping up, and China was stepping back (a little). Deny all that if you want to. The point here is that something like 100 million Americans believe it, strongly, and are bewildered and angered by elite hatred for the man they think delivered it.

Nor was Trump’s record all that radical—much less so than that of Joe Biden, who is using school-lunch funding to push gender ideology on poor kids, to cite but one example. Trump’s core agenda—border protection, trade balance, foreign restraint—was quite moderate, both intrinsically and in comparison to past Republican and Democratic precedent. And that’s before we even get to the fact that Trump neglected much of his own agenda in favor of the old Chamber of Commerce, fusionist, Reaganite, Conservatism, Inc., agenda. Corporate tax cuts, deregulation, and bombing Syria: These are all things Trump’s base doesn’t want, but the oligarchs desperately do, which Trump gave them. And still they try to destroy him.

If paid SorosNazis can add to the wall of hate our owners buy to keep red/blue partisans jumping through the required hoops that keep their selectoral system the only option for the systems dependent consumers of the Corporate States of America to "affect change" with, they'll happily use them.

Just another day in paradise. Same as it ever was...
