Some day
people will understand why Trump was elected.
The so called '
elite' are out of touch with reality
Brexit UK
AFD Germany
Italian elections
Austrian elections
People are rebelling against the poltical so called (lauugh ) elite
I wish Trump every success.
Populism's longest-running lie. That some
rich (
rebel elite) guy is gonna take out the
entrenched elite on behalf of the "
people", because he's supposedly been close enough to know
what really goes on, and
knows how to go about it. Yeah right.
Populism is a political philosophy supporting the rights and power of the people in their struggle against a privileged elite.[1] Critics of populism have described it as a political approach that seeks to disrupt the existing social order by solidifying and mobilizing the animosity of the "commoner" or "the people" against "privileged elites" and the "establishment".[2] Populists can fall anywhere on the traditional left–right political spectrum of politics and often portray both bourgeois capitalists and socialist organizers as unfairly dominating the political sphere.
They get in by hard core
demagoguery:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogue
A demagogue /ˈdɛməɡɒɡ/ (from Greek δημαγωγός, a popular leader, a leader of a mob, from δῆμος, people, populace, the commons + ἀγωγός leading, leader)[1] or rabble-rouser is a leader in a democracy who gains popularity by exploiting prejudice and ignorance among the common people, whipping up the passions of the crowd and shutting down reasoned deliberation.[1][2][3][4] Demagogues overturn established customs of political conduct, or promise or threaten to do so.
Demagogues have appeared in democracies since ancient Athens. They exploit a fundamental weakness in democracy: because ultimate power is held by the people, it is possible for the people to give that power to someone who appeals to the lowest common denominator of a large segment of the population.[5] Demagogues have usually advocated immediate, forceful action to address a national crisis while accusing moderate and thoughtful opponents of weakness or disloyalty.
The script for demagogues has not changed much over the last 3,000 years (Athens is 3,400 years old). The difference now is they are "up" on your mobile phone, computer, etc.
Those who support them think it's some genius solution. Like we're all too stupid to "get it".
No, we get it alright. We have 3000+ years of history that illustrate exactly how it will go.
Our founding fathers knew all about it, but even they couldn't design our system without the fundamental flaw noted above.
Trump is closely following Silvio Berlusconi's model of
Meda-based /
Personality-based populism, with the exception his "party" is not the GOP, but rather a "party of himself":
Throughout its existence, Berlusconi's party was characterized by a strong reliance on the personal image and charisma of its leader—it has therefore been called a "personality party"[52][53] or Berlusconi's "personal party"[54][55][56]—and the skillful use of media campaigns, especially via television.[57] The party's organisation and ideology depended heavily on its leader. Its appeal to voters was based on Berlusconi's personality more than on its ideology or programme.[58]
Where Berlusconi used television, Trump uses Twitter.
"Bunga bunga" moments that would have taken out any other politician, fall harmlessly by the wayside.
So to those thinking the Mueller investigation, Stormy Daniels, or even the Pee Tape, will have any effect at all, think again.
That said, the exploitation of the Internet cuts both ways. Populist demagogues might have a much shorter shelf life in a world where political antidotes such as the rapid formation of new political strains like "Conservative Democrats" and "Centrist Republicans" can occur, and become decisive forces within months or even weeks. As shown by the
notable losses of former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama Roy Moore, and now former Pennsylvania House of Representatives member Rick Saccone. If you look at the political maps, the migrations resemble a huge school of fish dodging a predator, a hundred zip codes, breaking blue, left, fast.
It's become very clear, very fast, that you can viably occupy the middle ground as a conservative democrat who can deal in a respectable and constructive manner with centrist republicans, the deep polarization of hardcore left wing vs hardcore right wing we currently have might dissipate.
It'll have to. We're getting nowhere fast. China by comparison locking in their guy permanently. Putin same.
Twitter's not gonna save you Donald.
Not with real heavy hitters like them around.
So who's next on the chopping block? They backpedaled the McMaster thing. A wise move.
This thread dares Trump to get through a week of working on our behalf without firing anyone, or having anyone resign.
Show that's it's something other than a runaway train.
