Karl Rove still does not get it. Once you scratch the surface of the public's attitudes, you begin to realize that there has been a rising tide of discontent and flat out anger - and it needs to come apart at the seams!
Up until 18 months ago, that discontent was largely unorganized, more just driven by the state of the economy and the apparent decline in America. Totally warranted, but unorganized.
The last year, however, what have we seen: VA, ISIS, Bowe Bergdahl, Ebola, the Iran deal, TPP, Syrian refugees, more about the IRS, and to top it off, the immigration fiasco. That discontent and anger has now become outrage, directed not just at Obama and the RINOs, but at the powers that be -- elites, globalists (my preferred term), the upper crust, political class, whatever you want to call them. Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Academia, CofC, the DC suburbs are all part of it. And the news media can't spin the ordinary person understanding that all-important truth as a mere "conspiracy theory."
Now while the behavior of those globalists has been absolutely reprehensible and deserving of outrage by the public, it is only really now that people have begun to connect the dots. You name the issue, and you quickly see that everything has been to their benefit, and the expense of the rest of us:
1. Gun control: they have bodyguards, but we're supposed to be defenseless.
2. Food choice: they can buy any high-calorie drink they want (i.e. wine anyone?), but its bad for us to drink a big gulp.
3. School choice: their kids go to private schools, but we're supposed to be stuck in crummy public ones.
4. Environment: they can afford to helicopter to a remote national park, but we're not supposed to be able to drive there -- it might hurt some endangered species no one knew existed and has never been actually seen.
5. Taxes: they get laws written to give them loopholes and deductions so they pay next to nothing, but we're supposed to show patriotism by getting taxed to the hilt. That's their definition of fairness.
6. Foreign policy: they institute an all-volunteer military so their kids escape sacrificing for this country through a draft, but then manipulate and take advantage of the genuine patriotism of the public to fight wars that ultimately benefit these globalists themselves (i.e. Google why they really wanted us to go into Syria).
7. Trade: they tell us that free trade is great for the average American, all the while very free trade policy they implement results in jobs shipped overseas. I guess it is free, just for other countries!
And the list goes on and on and on....
But let's not kid ourselves. Their wealth is not the result of capitalism, but cronyism through lobbyists, lawyers, and accountants. In fact, they hurt true capitalism by punishing its very engine: small business.
So should we be surprised that Donald Trump is doing so well? Not really. What am I surprised about is how those globalists are now trying to accelerate their plans, knowing full well the more they accelerate them, the more people will become aware of their goals. Case in point: amnesty for low-skill illegal immigrants and H1B Visas for high-skill immigrants from 3rd-world countries.
Donald Trump is despised by the globalist elite because he considered by them to be a traitor to his class. He has lifted the veil on how this country REALLY works, whether it be donating to all candidates for special favors, to giving political positions to campaign donors, to even having our military needs dictated by contractors, not the folks in uniform. When you expose those facts, you make a lot of enemies and burst a lot of bubbles. The vile attacks from everyone from presidents (both parties) to major media outlets, foreign governments, and even religious leaders should show everyone that he speaks the truth. Moreover, Trump infuriates the ruling class because he is not beholden to them. Any decisions he makes are his decisions, and we've seen his ability to not back done from them either.
Finally, and perhaps the thing the globalists fear the most, is that a Trump presidency means massive investigations and exposing the lies, fraud, and corruption perpetrated by the elites on the public. Many of these people have literally committed treason, and will try to flee the country to escape justice for the crimes they have committed. And because Trump knows their game better than they do, there is no safe haven for these crooks from the American people.
Going forward, it should be obvious to the casual observer that the actions of these globalists are not being driven by ambition, but panic. As more and more people become aware that there is no difference between people like Sheldon Adelson and Tom Steyer, or Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner, or Chris Mathews and Rich Lowry, the more the established order of these globalists will fall apart, as well it should. Remember folks, for people who supposedly are so diametrically opposed to one another, it is interesting how they all frequent the same dinner parties, play at the same tennis clubs, and their kids all attend the same schools. For crying out loud, they are all on a FIRST-NAME BASIS with one another!
And each one of us should keep this in mind every time these people speak or do anything. Remember when you seem them on TV, meet them in person, or go into the voting booth who they owe their allegiance to, and it sure as heck isn't us.
