The key takeaway here is that Trump refuses to extend even the tiniest of olive branches to anyone not a part of the government.<\/p>\n
The oil companies ARE the government. It’s not a coincidence that our recent history includes a litany of Presidents and Vice-Presidents that have had extensive ties to oil. Rockefeller, of course, the two Bushes and Cheney. And the Clintons owe a debt to the Rockefellers for their political careers as well. They came up through the Arkansas Democratic machine that was headed by, who else, a Rockefeller.<\/p>\n
So of course the oil companies get their way on everything.<\/p>\n
And the veterans get their way as well, and so do the police. <\/p>\n
But what about the people who AREN’T a member of the government? What do they get from Trump? <\/p>\n
They get nothing at best.<\/p>\n
It is telling that their needs are most obvious, and the most easily fulfilled, and yet they get nothing.<\/p>\n
All they want is a wall. Literally, that’s it. A fucking wall.<\/p>\n
Overall, of course they want a reduction in other kinds of immigration. But right now, they want a wall.<\/p>\n
And they ain’t getting it, or anything even close to it, or even a hint that there might be something close to it coming up in the future, at some theoretical point in time.<\/p>\n
Everyone else gets everything they want, but Trump’s actual base is treated as though they should feel lucky if their needs even get a mention from anyone associated with the government on any level.<\/p>\n
It’s sick, and obvious proof that the government here doesn’t try anymore to even look like a democracy. <\/p>\n
At any rate, I think I’m done for today. We’ll see what horrors tomorrow brings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
