I don't think most people realize that the world was changing before Trump entered the chat. Trump is not the change agent but rather rose due largely due to the discontent with the status quo. The post WW2 consensus around globalization and democracy is crumbling before our eyes. Nationalism isn't Nazism. We have failed to learn the lessons of the past. People are tribal and what we are seeing now is people that have group identity just fed up with being lied to and ignored by those that claim to represent them.

The whole globalist ideological international relations world order was an illusion. It was always about power. Real power is returning. National identity is making a comeback. The illusion could not state forever. The image of evil (Hitler) has run out of power as people age out. The weaponization of the liberal world order is getting weaker and weaker.

I have my ideals but I also have eyes. I can see what is happening. Trump has been riding this wave. I have no illusions that he's likely a very evil man. I just don't have the illusion that he is uniquely evil. Also, it would not matter if he was. This system so many people believe in so dearly allowed him to take power and the same democratic system pushed him into this position.

I can't cry with all of the TDS people. People like us have been warning about this for decades and no one listened. Dr. Paul warned them. They mocked him. So... this is what you get. You don't care about state rights when the globalists are in power? ICE in your state now. You aren't anti-war when Obama has the reins of power? Trump is gonna use that power too. You made this bed. You get to sleep in it with all of us.

Maybe if the world order which has resulted in a man like Trump taking power (through the system) proves how broken this precious system actually is. Many moderates are good decent people. They are just under the spell. Its just annoying to hear them cry about all this stuff after years of mocking my warnings.

What are you gonna do? Gripe on SN I guess.

I don't think people realize how far back these battles go period. These are the same undercurrents of the revolution, 1812, ww1, ww2... and everything since. The names and faces change, but it's still the same polarities.

It just comes to a head at certain points. Warsh used the term regime change, Chatham house called it a revolution.

he's likely a very evil man

There's zero basis in that, that's just your bias towards government in general. Like anti-gun people thinking every gun owner is evil.

He was already rich, famous, and old. Evil people use puppets and stay out of the light... and the media drama is because he's not a puppet in a stuffed suit, some nobody bureaucrat.

system so many people believe in so dearly allowed him to take power

That's the gun in the room, whether you like it or not someone will pick it up. It's either us, or the Bolsheviks. The worst people are the moderates, the Kerensky's, its that abdication that lets the Bolsheviks take power.
