Trump is going to lose, by Sackerson

 How do I know? By listening to Scott Adams, who spotted him as a winner early in 2016 and up till now has been ready to spin events and statements in DJT’s favour. Now, I feel, he’s sidling away, dissociating himself, giving reasons to which, if he thought the tide was still running in Trump’s direction, he would find counters.

The resistance to Trump has come from both sides, relentlessly, for four years, despite the fact that Orange Man Bad has not initiated and prosecuted wars like previous incumbents, and seems to have been instrumental in fostering a rapprochement between various Islamic states and Israel, for which he has been nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize (which the committee was never, never going to award him.) Oh, and Trump’s understanding of how globalism oppresses the workers (how was it that the Russians abandoned Communism in 1989 yet the Western élite continued to cast them as the villains while handing the West’s economies to the largest Communist state in the world?)

DJT’s personal faults are on the surface for all to see, and it drives many peple mad to see how unapologetic he is. There is also – though this doesn’t get much play in the personal abuse sh*tstorm heaped on him via social media and the largely Democrat-supporting news establishment – the traditional Republican right-wing agenda that to British eyes looks like the hard-heartedness of our eighteenth century aristos. 

Having said that, the Left has a stake in never improving the lives of the working class too much, lest the latter get on in life and become independent of their political semi-benefactors (remember how the Labour Party targeted grammar schools rather than private schools?)

Now here comes Biden, with his TV compère’s grin; and an element in the Democratic Party that is looking to pack the Supreme Court and cancel the Electoral College, anything to perpetuate the rule of their faction, at whatever cost to the constitutional fabric of the country.

As HL Mencken said, ‘Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.’
