Buckle Up: Tough Times Are Coming
By J. Robert Smith
The Stasi's — AKA the FBI's — raid on Mar-a-Lago isn't the Democrats' last attempt to foreclose Donald Trump's presidential run. The Mar-a-Lago raid was merely a salient in an ongoing war. Even if the establishment finds a way of barring Trump from running, the door then opens for DeSantis. You can bet that the establishment loathes DeSantis as much as it does Trump. Perhaps more so, in that DeSantis's success in Florida starkly contrasts Democrats' failures in blue states and across Biden's America. Democrats and their allies would simply unleash their wrath on the governor.
The war, started by the establishment, ramped up when Trump arrived on the political scene in late 2015. Trump's nascent America First movement was, quite correctly, perceived as what's fashionably termed an existential threat. It's been a hot cold war ever since, and it promises to grow hotter and nastier in the coming days.
Democrats and their allies are in their desperate hour. Theirs isn't an ascendant movement, but a faltering one. Resorts to strong-arm tactics, illegality, and conniving are indications. Ascendant movements enjoy broadening popular support. Majorities form around them and create mandates. Democrats enjoy no such backing.
With each passing day, Biden's and Democrats' failures become more apparent and painful to average Americans. The economy is shaky; inflation and energy costs will resume rising. Crime spikes in big cities. Woke and sexual indoctrination of schoolkids is meeting with growing backlashes. Democrats' police state gambits repel people who'd otherwise take a pass on politics. Their sheer incompetence, serial failures, and tyrannical overreach are undercutting their authority. So Democrats and the establishment are afraid and anxious.
Looming ahead is the fall of the establishment's thousand-year Reich. Desperation will drive establishment factions to more and, perhaps, even greater acts of illegally and shows of force — or worse. After all, the ends justify the means.
