Yep, Trump’s political win was traditional. Having lost the Electoral College and common ballot in 2020, he’s now secured the past, and, once all the seats are tallied, he will probably say the former, a clear mission. Amazingly, he survived two assassination attempt in a single strategy.
He endured legal cases everywhere: a federal election meddling event, a Georgia election meddling event, a classified documents situation, and a hush-money case. His political opponents labeled him a totalitarian, a murderer, a sexist, a sexist, and an “extinction-level risk to democracy”. In the United States, Donald J. Trump is the most compellingly despised person. In spite of it all, he persuaded much citizens to be elected the 47th leader.
Given the odds, it is simple, and probably justified, for liberals, Republicans, and Trump backers of all types to do a victory chest. But they should n’t let their guards down, that would be short-sighted, and evince a misgiven, even naive optimism. Every weapon used by the establishment aristocracy to derail Trump has been and continues to be used in a war against those who pose a threat to the communist political project.
Everyone they allegedly did for him…
According to bestselling author Lee Smith’s guide Fading the President: Trump, Truth Social, and the Fight for the Republic, one needs never be a Trump supporter to realize how much his enemies have fought him. Given how simple it is to ignore what has transpired in recent political history, it is worthwhile to recall how much the leftist establishment has changed since Trump’s ascent to undermine his political ambitions.
In 2016, that creation, to include not only commercial media, but also some within our defense and security institutions, alleged that Trump colluded with Russia in order to get that national poll. According to Special Counsel John Durham’s final statement, which criticizes the FBI for its” severe lack of empirical rigor,” the Steele Dossier, a supposedly classic document outlining Trump’s relationship with Russia, may have been manipulatively informed by Russia. Experts could not provide a convincing explanation of how this had an impact on voting patterns in the 2016 vote despite the legacy media and communist institutions screaming constantly over the thousands of fake social media posts distributed by Russian actors.
Business press, who had previously promoted laws that isolated the elder, kept millions of good children at home from school for more than a year, and worsened our mental health problems, blamed Trump for deaths caused by the epidemic. Trump and his supporters were then criticized as racists by blaming China for its role in spreading the virus, despite those same individuals now recognizing the Wuhan lab leak as trustworthy.
The media portrays him as an indifferent, protected monster when he urged Americans to avoid letting fear of Covid rule their lives, despite after acknowledging that America had overreacted to Covid’s risk. Dems and the media compared him to an authoritarian strongman when he sought to end the racially motivated unrest that claimed the lives of Americans and inflicted an estimated$ 2 billion in damages.
The Democrat Party, legacy media, social media, and a significant number of senior former intelligence officers attempted to demonize and suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story when Trump ran for reelection, a de facto conspiracy that the majority of Americans believed had likely had an impact on the outcome of that election. Even a February 2021 article titled” The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign that Saved the 2020 Election” was a TIME Magazine editorial. The piece quoted “dozens” of participants explaining how” a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, work]ed ] together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information”.
Following that election, political biased public servants in Georgia, New York, and the District of Columbia carried out egregiously corrupt law enforcement operations with the clear intention of putting Trump in jail or prison. Leftist lawyers cynically exploited the power of the state to elicit a particular political outcome, which the majority of district attorneys routinely ignore in order to pursue much more significant and dangerous crimes. This is a fact, even the leftist media acknowledged.
… They Will Do to You, Too
Some may think all of this has to do with Trump himself, a controversial, often hated person and political force. However, this analysis has significant flaws. For as they did this to Trump, they’ve done it to many others. The Democrat Party and corporate media collaborated in running sophisticated scorched-earth campaigns against three conservative three Supreme Court justices: Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
They’ve invested incredible resources to destroy the reputations of J. D. Vance, Trump cabinet nominees such as Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth, and a long list of Republican politicians such as Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, and Tim Scott. Nor do they stop at politicians: conservative journalists, pro-life activists, and even evangelicals and Catholics are all valid targets of this potent machine.
What all of the above individuals have in common is that they are perceived as threats to the leftist ruling class of government bureaucrats, the media, academia, Big Tech, and the entertainment industry. Even though the establishment’s members aim their largest guns at the most powerful targets, they have consistently demonstrated that they are not afraid to attack regular Americans to spread the message that they are the ones who are accumulating power and that anyone who dares try to stop them will suffer the consequences.
All Americans, regardless of political affiliation, should be alarmed by this, because every tool used against Trump — targeted media investigations, public cancellation, state-run prosecutions — they will use against you.
Regardless of your opinion of Trump, what the leftist establishment has done to him in the past eight years is terrifying. Its concerted, multi-faceted effort to “disappear” him is a caution for all Americans. Their actions against Trump are, according to Lee Smith, the result of” an elite campaign to demoralize and desecrate a republic.”
Trump is merely the current target of their fury. No matter what position or level of power a person holds, rage can be directed at any American, as numerous examples demonstrate. Citizens who value their freedom should beware.
