Notes on Trump : Comments

By Arthur Dent, published 23/1/2017

So the result in two years could be that the US has shifted from a two party system in which both parties support globalism to a two party system in which both parties oppose globalism.

Hell, Arthur, it's not hard to understand. Enough Americans were sick and tired of the dumb and dangerous crap that has prevailed for too long in America and the rest of the West. The only thing that is hard to understand is how out of touch with reality and democracy are those simpletons whining and waving placards at demonstrations against a democratically elected president; and, there is nothing "interesting" about the "republican side", which was smashed by a single man they thought was an idiot because he wasn't one of them. Well,we all know who the real idiots are now.

It is also difficult to understand how people posing as the intelligentsia still don't 'get it'. They have been, and remain, so unimaginative! They continue to waffle on about things that don't matter, unable to to handle the downfall of the corrupt and incompetent past that they have been led to believe in. As Mark Stein observes, Trump has wiped out two evil dynasties - the Bushes and the Clintons - and, if you didn't see it coming, you cannot expect anyone to listen to you now.

"The big event was Trump beating the entire Republican establishment as a complete outsider in a hostile takeover."

Trump didn't just beat the Republican establishment.
First beat all the other Republican candidates, as well as the Republican establishment.
Then he beat Hillary Clinton and he beat Barack Obama,who campaigned for her.
He also beat the MSM, he beat Silicon Valley and he beat Hollywood, he beat the Bankers and the entire existing US establishment.

One thing that has really become apparent to me over this election campaign is how truly unintelligent the 'so-called highly educated' liberal left actually are.
It's as if they 'think' they are intelligent and that they have some sort of educated moral superiority, when in actuality they don't have a clue about anything, completely by the way they act.

If you ask them why they oppose Trump they will come up with the dumbest arguments that barely even make rational sense. They are basically an uninformed bunch of retards, with completely shallow characters and ethics.

They can't win a rational argument, resorting to screaming 'racism' 'xenophobe' 'pussy grabber' etc. because they don't rally have a real argument. Most of the time they can't even have a rational discussion.

They are in my opinion complete nutcases.
I took the time to look at some liberal left sites, to see what they have to say about Trump's inaugruation, and truly they are a bunch of brainwashed retards still spitting out these half-baked talking points like mindless jellyfish.

How on earth did it come to all this?
How did we all get so damn divided?
I look in somewhat amazement at the collective stupidity.

The stupidity is caused by the ones that did not get their own way. They voted and waited in peace, now they can't accept the outcome.
That is the mentality that causes civil wars. With persons owning multiple military grade weapons legally, the stage is set for action.

The trouble with the lessons of history? Nobody learns the lessons of history!

Thus we had the post war period of Keynesian economics created, unprecedented prosperity, effectively dismantled by the same, regressive conservative troglodytes, whose carved in granite, rigid, unwavering ideological imperatives, austerity, isolationism, anti-immigration, concentrating our finite wealth in fewer and fewer hands, created the Great Depression!

Which was preceded by a couple of recessions, stock market collapses and panic!

The only free market private enterprise business model that survived those economic downturns largely intact, were co-ops!

Like today, massive political unrest and the rise and rise of nationalism! Mussolini, Hitler, Franco and others! Expansionism and the subsequent annexing of other nations sovereign territory, to allegedly right historical wrongs?

And if any of this has a familiar ring? We're too smart to follow where those power hungry, elected tyrants led, surely?

Nobody is going to have a constitution altered (Putin) to entrench them in lifelong power, or target an ethic immigrant minority (Kurd), to curry popular/unstoppable electoral support!

Or bag the hell out of democratic socialism, to the point of having seemingly intelligent folk think it is actually the same as communism and inherently evil!

Joh B. Petersen is on the public record saying, that at heart he was a democratic socialist. And that Norwegian born, former Kiwi, was no commie!

And Under his Leadership, Queensland went from being the depressed redneck north to a prospering debt free economy, with a regular surplus.

And by borrowing like there was no tomorrow and building income earning infrastructure, dams, power stations and beef roads, to name just some, while his complete repeal of death duties and the subsequent southern exodus of cashed up self funded retirees, was a veritable political masterstroke!

[But not the apparent corruption eventually exposed by a royal commission?]

And Donald Trump, Theresa May and other recently elected leaders, could do worse than emulate that example? All while actually taking note of the very real lessons of history, if only to ensure nobody repeats those disastrous mistakes!

A Depression, smoking nuclear devastated planet, more tea anyone?
