Just to follow up on what I’ve been writing recently: I have never seen a politician become so alienated, so quickly and throughly, from his own base as what I have seen regarding Trump.
It’s scary. Read the comments section today at any formerly pro-Trump website, like Breitbart. Trump has already lost the support of his base. And the general consensus is that these guys are never coming back. They’re going to “check out” of the United States, after this disappointment. And this is A LOT of people. Breitbart is ranked #54 on the Alexa charts for the most popular websites in the United States. It is the most popular conservative website in the US, if not the most popular politically-focused website overall.
Or if not Breitbart, read the comments on any other conservative news aggregator.
For Trump, it looks like it’s over. Three months into his Presidency, and that’s it, for him.
He has lost way too much support, all at once.
This whole mess is simply beyond comprehension.
Back in November, Trump won a historically unprecedented landslide victory over Hillary. And he was given both houses in Congress and the vast majority of Governorships. To put that particular advantage into perspective, there are more than two times the number of Republican Governors as there are Democratic Governors.
And today, less than three months into his term, Trump has permanently lost the support of his base, and is looking like the most hopeless lame-duck politician ever.
Trump, WTF are you doing?
This stuff spells doom, people.
I want to reiterate the very important point, here, which is that the oligarchy is out of time. Millions of non-government jobs are needed, and they are needed this year.
And that kind of thing can only be created by immediate and massive changes in policy, such as closing off the US from ALL immigration, regardless of circumstance.
The politicians here do not understand that this is not business as usual. This is a crisis situation that can only be rectified with huge and unprecedented changes in the structure of the country. The common thinking must be put aside. All plans for the future must be shelved, immediately, until the current set of problems are fixed. And oligarch heads MUST roll, or this is the end, of everything. Of the life that people (everyone) has had, here, since the end of WWII.
And this may is the last, final chance to avoid a major and horrific, and perhaps unending, internal war. To ignore the obvious at this point may be to enter into a period of unpredictable consequences and violence and instability that may never end.
We are staring into the abyss here, guys.
