The Trump Guy Sincerely Loves The Common American

Donald Trump draws half the town to a BILOXI, Miss rally. The malfunctioning media, having abnegated their mandate to report the news, harp on why ISIS prefers Hillary (by which, I imagine they mean to suggest Hillary should be president). Here’s the WaPo lead:

“Forty-five minutes into his first speech of 2016, Donald Trump finally talked about the video. …”

What sophisticates (and such rotten journalists).

The role of media is to report the news, not advance an angle, or make consumers of news products “think,” as one CNN bimbo once put it. “Make the viewers think” was her incomplete sentence. What she—Brooke Baldwin or fellow fem Anderson Cooper—meant to say is, “Make the viewer think … the way I do.”

From these mass, under-reported rallies it emerges, moreover, that The Trump guy sincerely loves the Common American. Unlike Obama, who described small-town Americans, derisively, as clinging to their guns, God and other bigotries. Or Britain’s Gordon Brown, who famously called a perfectly decent English biddy “horrible,” “old woman,” and “bigoted.” (Poor Mrs. Gillian Duffy had been trusting enough to air her perfectly proper worries over deficits and immigration to the pompous, two-faced ponce, Brown.)

Trump insults The Powers that be; never the common man. That’s a good personality trait. (Donald J. Trump ought to be, however, very careful on these rallies. The establishment will do anything to maintain its privileged position.)

In addition to Ramadi and the ubiquitous media insults to Trump’s America, Jim Webb and Christmas made a comeback, sadly, so did S.E. Idiot. The Department of Homeland Insecurity made history, KrauthHannity were found to have shared amnesty aspirations, Bernie found, then quickly lost his male bits—perhaps Tulsi Gabbarad has them?—and much more.

Special-Needs Media Six Months Late To Recognize The Trump Revolution

Chris Hayes’s MSNBC replacements did a token mea culpa for themselves and their brethren across the malfunctioning media, for dismissing the political staying power of Donald Trump.

Whether they’re missing the Trump phenomenon or the bogus casus belli for war in Iraq (see “Iraq Liars & Deniers: We Knew Then What We Know Now”)—these stupid establishment types only recognize truth once THEY arrive at it, sometimes years later.

Just like we identified the wrongness of the Iraq War in 2002 and not in 2012; very many of us marginalized writers of America also recognized right away (6/19/2015) that Trump was “a candidate to ‘kick the crap out of all the politicians’” and that he “could send the system’s sycophants scattering” (8/14/2015)

Alas, truth is arrived at officially in American public life only once the special-needs media get it.

It’s The Silent Majority, Stupid: The Revolution Mainstream Is Missing

From The Atlantic comes a wide-ranging and thorough analysis of “The Great Republican Revolt: The GOP planned a dynastic restoration in 2016. Instead, it triggered an internal class war. Can the party reconcile the demands of its donors with the interests of its rank and file?”

While the author, David Frum, anchors this keen analysis in fact, he cannot help but smuggle into his exposition mantras designed to hint at the ludicrous nature of the so-called “Republican revolt.” For instance, he states that “In a society that is and always has been multiethnic and polyglot [really?], any national party must compete more broadly than” identity politics for white voters would allow.

But the central conceit that currently defines the media, the writer of the Atlantic article included, is this in my opinion: The Trump revolt is not exclusively a Republican revolt, although the right is always more courageous in bucking authority.

I get the sense that the Trump revolution encompasses left and right. And I don’t believe I’m wrong. The polls are certainly underestimating Trump’s support.
