A reminder that the only thing standing between us and the left's neo-Cultural Revolution is...Trump
By Monica Showalter

Want to know why we got Trump?

The answer can be found in a brilliant column by Peggy Noonan, who describes what happened in China during its utterly vile Cultural Revolution of the 1960s, and compares the feel of it to the current behavior seen on the left around the country.  It's not just the Democratic maniacs in Congress fueling the phenomenon; it's politics of political correctness in academia.  It's the Twitter mob forcing publishers to pull books.  It's in the destruction of Confederate statues, the covering up of Columbus pictures, and the renaming of airports.  It's also in the groveling of the current Democratic presidential candidates over past positions, and it's in House speaker Nancy Pelosi's continuous bowing to the fresh new socialist revolutionaries elected to the Democrats' ranks — the ones who want to take away your cars and force you onto government health care and, more disturbingly, openly promote Jew-hatred which up until now has been the province of social pariahs.  In short, the mania of the socialist left seen today has a valid parallel in China's Cultural Revolution and will lead the same place: a state-dominated hell.

When she is right,she is right.

In a way, Mr. Trump is providing a respite and renaissance for America in a way similar to that of Rudy Giuliani's tenure in New York City in the 1990's.

He will keep the Republic going for a while longer, extend its "usable lifespan", hopefully for a decade or perhaps two at most.

But we must realize that ... eventually... the democrat-communists are going to gain full power of the government once more. They -almost- had it with obama, but not quite. But next time, they're going to take steps that will make it difficult to wrest that power from their grasp again.

And then we will be hit full-force with the leftist/communist cultural revolution right here at home.

American-style communism, plain and simple.
If you don't see that coming, you'd better look harder.

What will the people of the red, traditional-freedom states do then...?

What complete and utter horse crap.
Yet another messianic screed.

Yeah, I'm sure it has nothing to do with 100 million gun owners and their 300+ million guns.

What did we expect?

From Noonan?

Yes, it's a real good thing we have a president who is well versed in the constitution and the principles of conservatism and can explain them to the public like Reagan could.

Shirley you're not serious.

I thought the Supreme Court interpreted the Constitution. How has that worked out?

I agree with the author and it be almost any of the GOP candidates who were running in 2016, I would give them support.  But the thing is, victory in 2016, very unfortunately, was not expected by many including myself.  No president has been perfect. I do think this administration has done very well, I'm not always happy if something like General Mattis or for that matter, Rex Tillerson leave but the general picture has been good.
