Trump: A Victory for Communism
March 21, 2018
TIMOTHY FITZPATRICK writes at his website Fitzpatrick Informer:
Trump’s over-the-top behaviour and persona makes a convenient caricature out of conservatism. It has provided a rallying point around which Leftists can punch holes in an easily deflatable strawman blow-up clown doll. This is only possible because Trump does not embody genuine conservative values. He is the creature of New York, Jewish yuppy culture and is led by his lust, greed, and narcissism. This caricaturization is being used the same way the Zionists used the caricature of Hitler to galvanize the fractured Jewish community. It lead to an intense period of cohesion for Hitler’s opponents, while he and the Nazis became more and more discredited. The Hitler caricature also enabled the Jewish money power to inoculate the world against any return to nationalism, which is the natural opponent of communism (and Zionism). The Soviets strive for the same goals, despite pretending to be nationalists themselves. Do you think the world will ever look at conservatism and nationalism with any validity, in the post-Hitler, Post-Trump future?
The fracturing, discrediting, and caricaturization of the Right has only encouraged the Left that their ideologies are correct. They can now push forward implementing their “truth” all over the world—more easily than had caricatures like Trump never been in power. Now there is the convenient pretext to save the world from any more monsters. Just accept their communism. Everything will be fine.

I disagree with his characterization of Donald Trump’s buffoonish behavior and the impact it has on “conservatism”. He’s right about Trump being a product of the pampered, New York City lifestyle that has undoubtedly had him in dealings with our Semitic friends that run the Manhattan real-estate and banking cartels his entire life. He gave his daughter away in marriage to Jared Kushner, who expected and received Ivanka’s conversion to Judaism, a move that should give you an idea of how important Christian faith played in the Trump family. Jared’s father, Charles, has a shameful criminal history that includes illegal campaign contributions, witness tampering, and tax evasion. He served 14 months of a two-year prison sentence. This would be a red-flag for any decent father profiling his daughters boyfriend and his family but Trump likely looked at it as a good business opportunity. There’s no denying he’s a walking cornucopia of unscrupulous behavior.
No matter how foul-mouthed the man is, the notion that his brand of Republican politics is any more coarse than what the Left wing assumes that a substantial portion of the population hasn’t been paying attention to the implosion of the fake two party system. Every description he gives to define the ways Trump degrades the conservative cause can be said for how leftists dismantle classical liberal thought every time they destroy a college town because Ben Shapiro is giving a lecture filled with neo-conservative talking points. They frame him as Hitler, so what? Every Republican president since Nixon has been called Hitler, it’s like a rite of passage. The liberals have been begging for someone to get down in the mud with them for a long time and Trump has obliged them because he’s just as ornery as they are. Does that make conservatives that voted for him just as bad or is he an avatar for their boiling rage against a globalist system that threw them overboard decades ago? The point is that nobody has taken conservatives seriously in a long time because the milquetoast “firebrands” in their tweed jackets have conserved nothing. Every Republican since Coolidge has proven they can’t or won’t “stand athwart history, yelling Stop” like William F. Buckley suggested. Ever since FDR’s pontificate, Republicans have been chasing Democrats yelling “wait for us!”, tripping over their own shoe strings in the process.
“Conservatives” have lost ground on every social issue for nearly six decades, and when they do lose, which is quite often, they simply incorporate the victories of the Left into their own platform and hope that Republican voters don’t notice as they move on to tax reform or military boosterism. How many allies did Kentucky county clerk, Kim Davis, had after refusing two sodomites a marriage license? Our well-mannered conservative leaders pulled out the progressive line of “it’s the law of the land” and laid blame on a woman who had been doing the job longer than the two gays had been alive. “Mr. Positive” Ohio Governor John Kasich was one of those people.
Fitzpatrick overestimates the hold that modern liberalism has on society because there are evident signs of a crack up in the liberal monopoly on “truth” and it’s coming faster than you think. It turns out there’s a limit to the amount of satanic lies normal people can take. They’re turning off shows that mock them. They’re boycotting businesses that don’t want their patronage. Social media and its leftist censorship is on the verge of splintering, as well. No matter his motives, as I’m sure they’re as varied as the masters they serve, Trump has managed to slap around dying institutions like professional sports and the news with success because he’s simply saying things people know to be true but aren’t allowed to say. Anyone who engages him in a scrap comes out lesser for it. Did Nancy Pelosi, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, the NFL, Jay-Z, or Elizabeth Warren come out their fight with Trump better or worse? As for criticism of his hedonistic sexual life, liberal kvetching is irrelevant because Trump’s personal behavior is the embodiment of their social vision. My two word reply to them when another one of his sexual trysts surface is simple: Bill Clinton. That doesn’t make it right, but he’s the consequence of their decades long effort to dismantle families and push “free love” and it’s amusing watching liberals wrestle with their conscience all of a sudden.
There’s no conservative reputation or legacy to uphold anymore in the public sphere and that’s a problem that predates Trump. Trump’s not a true conservative, true, but it would seem many traditionalists are piggy-backing on him to put their ideas at the front of the flaccid GOP line. Look at CPAC where Marion Le Pen gave a pro-West speech. She would’ve never been invited if more “proper” men like Kasich or Jeb! were president, and that has to count for something.

The article is not arguing that Trump is worse than someone like Hillary. Conservatives supposedly had higher standards.

It’s not liberal kvetching that’s the issue, it’s the reality of his personal life.
I understand, it’s refreshing to see Trump slapping down the media sometimes. And you’re right, sometimes he’s a fighter. He also basks in the attention lavished on him and goes along with media lies. Yes, there is a war against him, but that’s part of the show. He serves as a foil to make patriots ridiculous. I agree, this is not new.

That’s the problem: the belief that there is hope in the GOP. It’s too compromised by money powers. Politics are always corrupt. That’s just the way it is, but this is more dangerous than ever.
Just like Hillary, just like Obama, Trump is a war criminal and a traitor. Christopher Bollyn makes this point in this interview.

As far as Fitzpatrick’s argument regarding Russian involvement, it’s an interesting thesis. I’m not knowledgeable enough to assess it.

Thank you for the reply. I’d like to address your points. I don’t think we’re that far apart on this topic.
“Sensible” Republicans have prided themselves on fighting and “losing with dignity” for far too long and Republican voters lobbed a grenade into the system because there’s nothing left to lose besides gun rights and religious freedom. The Roman Trump was a logical conclusion of this failure on the behalf of conservatives to wake up and realize that the Bush and Clinton families, and their interchangeable globalist agendas, have wreaked havoc on the Western hemisphere the past 40 years.
He also basks in the attention lavished on him and goes along with media lies. Yes, there is a war against him, but that’s part of the show. He serves as a foil to make patriots ridiculous. I agree, this is not new.
His antics are ridiculous, yes, but define ridiculous in the culture we have today. I’m measuring him against the standards in the public sphere now and not my own, because our nation has left my personal vision a long time ago. Please understand that I’m not excusing or endorsing his every word and action, as I’m more often than not left shaking my head over his hyperbolic statements and infidelities, but I see little evidence his existence is doing any further damage to the dumpster fire our government has become.
The Left already thinks patriotism is stupid and their media counterparts have been framing patriots as loons for a long time. Who cares what they think? Archie Bunker was a Marxist attempt caricature the white working man as a cigar chomping, beer guzzling simpleton but it didn’t matter because numerous polls taken during the 70’s showed viewers agreed with the essence of what the character said, not how he said it because at the end of the show, he was still footing the bill for his daughter and her know-it-all husband.
Historians still rank Gen. George Patton as one of the greatest leaders in American history. He was coarse, vulgar and abusive. He leveled some heavy charges against the Zionists and Communists in the media, who stood in stark opposition to his comments on the superiority of the Germans, but he was effective because the tone of the times called for his brash personality. Same can be said for Andrew Jackson, a man who could hardly interact directly with his detractors because he was always on the verge of cold-cocking them, but he managed to bring usurers to a heel and made tough decisions to defend his people.
Indiana University basketball coach, Bob Knight, is another example of someone whose proclivity for four-letter words and rage made him a poor husband but a stalwart leader to male student athletes who graduated at a ratio of 98 percent. All but four of his four-year players completed their degrees in coaching career that lasted four decades. His 1976 Championship team is the last undefeated team in NCAA Division 1 history. He also campaigned for Trump in 2016.
I’m not saying Trump is like these men, but, the barometer that we used to measure great leaders by looks foreign to the “leaders” of the modern world that has gone soft. I have no illusions about Trump’s ability to be the traditional conservative we’d like to have. Trump is a means to an end. I’m sure he’s guilty of many sins but I’m confident he’s clearing the way for traditionalist ideas that may not find a home in the GOP, but they’ll land somewhere. They’ll have to otherwise this country is finished.
