“FOR THESE and many other reasons, it ought to be crystal clear that Trump cannot win 2020 and will likely withdraw from the race.  He was able to scam the Patriot Movement in 2016, but the Truth Movement has caught up with him and his circus show in 2019.  And, his dog and pony show only gets more ridiculous by the week!

“The Left has so much damning evidence on him which was acquired during the Special Counsel investigation that he must know he’s toast…or soon to be toast if he does not withdraw sooner than later.

“The electoral analysis above clearly indicates that a vast swath of voters who voted for him in 2016 will either not vote in 2020 or they will vote against him. Many of them only voted to reject Clinton, and she’s gone. Others saw in him someone who would drain the swamp when in reality he filled it up with some of the worst swamp creatures inside the Beltway.

“Trump’s fealty to the Military-Industrial Complex has also made him a particularly dangerous POTUS. His zealous backing of some of the most tyrannical regimes on the planet such as Saudi Arabia and Israel make his warmongering administration even more dangerous, especially when they kill and destroy using these US-armed proxies.

“Enough of Trump! He’s toast in so many ways it hurts to look at him now.

“And, please, someone take away his Twitter account. Early-onset dementia, extremely bad diet, coupled with highly toxic psychoactive medications have turned this guy into a full-time freak show. Someone, please get him off the stage by yelling: You’re fired!”

Do not be fooled by Trump’s apparent compromise over Israel. He favors Israel no more than anything else. Every move he makes is part of a strategy, therefore he uses the religious sentiment of the world regarding Israel as a tool for some other goal. There are four wacky leftist female politicians he can eliminate quite easily by playing on the world’s regard for Israel and showcasing these women’s hatred for Israel. Everything is about strategy and winning, etc. and he is not deranged, on pharmaceuticals or out of his league. Everything he does is carefully planned like an ancient history military leader, and not one jot or tweet is carelessly made.

Lots of pundits and commentators are saying that Trump can’t be re-elected, and for the very reasons cited in the essay from whence you excerpted the passage. Not that their reasoning as to the various points they make is bad, nor that it would surprise me in the least did they turn out to predict rightly. But anyone who thinks Trump will lose because his brand is so tainted now that he can no longer procure a “critical mass” of voters, I think to be at least slightly deluded. Such people seem to place a lot more faith in the pretended legitimacy of the electoral system than I, for one, do. The “shocking” results of the 2016 election seems to have convinced certain people that “hey!, my vote actually does count for something; I really can make a difference.” It’s not my purpose to insult people whose faith in the electoral system (which was perhaps otherwise waning) was restored by the “historical” result, but I cannot not say what I think about that, and what I think about it is that it is just pure nonsense borne of wishful thinking.

In 1882 Robert Lewis Dabney was invited to give an address to the “Young Gentlemen of the Philanthropic and Union Societies” of Hampden Sidney College. Below is a relevant extract from that speech, titled “The New South.”

“That popular suffrage does not now really govern this country, that it is notoriously a marketable commodity, that the United States have really ceased already to be what they pretend, a federation of republican States, no clear sighted man doubts. Under a thin veil of radical democracy, the government has already become an oligarchy. Are not State conventions traded off by the magnates as openly as blocks of railroad bonds? Are not legislatures bought as really and almost as openly as cargoes of corn? Are not “corners” made in politics by which the weaker capitalists are sold out, as really as in the pork market?

It is Washington or Wall street which really dictates what platforms shall be set forth, and what candidates elected and what appointments made, not the people of the States.

Some of you may have heard of the incident which happened in our neighboring town, in that year when our Southern conservatives, in their wisdom, made Horace Greeley their standard-bearer, hoping, it seems, like the superstitious Jews, to “cast out devils through Beelzebub, the chief of the devils”; to retrieve the cause of order and right through the arch incendiary and agitator of the country. Several hopeful souls were arguing his success from the many signs of his acceptance with the people. It was said, whole radical towns, whole Union Leagues in the northwest were coming over to Greeley. A sagacious banker standing by quietly shook his head. Our friends, almost vexed at his skepticism, asked: “Why? do not all these accessions, with the Southern support, promise him success?” His answer was: “Gentlemen, I do business in Wall Street, and Wall Street does not want Greeley.” And so the country did not have Greeley, and Greeley did not have the presidency he coveted, but went aside to die of chagrin.

So Wall Street saw in the third term imperialism thinly masked, and as its oligarchs preferred to be masters themselves, rather than have Grant their master and ours. Wall Street sent to Chicago and nominated Garfield as its convenient lay-figure. But having carried its main point it really cared very little about the choice between him and Hancock, and for a time did nor trouble itself. So the people were about to elect Hancock. But one fine morning this simple minded “beefeater” perpetrated the faux pas of endorsing the greenback victory in Maine. And now that Wall Street saw that the Hancock regime was committed to “soft money,” it did trouble itself, and woke up and put its hand to the canvass. It would none of Hancock and his soft money, and so the people could not have Hancock nor he have the presidency.”

If the Jews and Wall Street want to retain Trump, he will have a second term in spite of his having broken all of his promises and alienated his “conservative” base; if not, he’ll drop out or otherwise be defeated, and elements on the “right” will congratulate themselves for having withheld their support en masse, and thereby defeated him. The only “saving grace” for someone like myself in all of this MAGA nonsense is that I live in a thoroughly “Red State,” and as such never had the slightest temptation to vote for “the lesser of two evils” in either of the last several presidential elections, including 2016. I don’t claim to have any special kind of insights as to such a man’s character, but believe instead that being a native of Oklahoma (a state that consistently votes Republican by a 2/3 majority, with or without my vote, and will do so again in 2020) gives me the advantage of keeping a clear head about such persons and their clownish, circus sideshow antics. Good thing, too, because I have enough to answer for without adding voting for the likes of Trump or of the traitor John McCain to the list.

To become emotionally invested in this race is a huge mistake. To do anything but occasionally glance at its circus acts is a huge waste of time. To be dazzled by the sinister powers of the puppet masters is a huge distraction from the power we all have for good.

Don’t give your soul to politics.
