What does Trump Represent that So Worries the Left

9/18/22

New York Times columnist, David Brooks writes this week that the left needs a strategy to defeat Trump. He finds it “astounding” that Trump is still polling strongly despite “…the American establishment over the past seven years [having] spent enormous amounts of energy trying to discredit him”. He of course says the establishment, of which he proudly includes himself, “correctly identified Trump as a grave threat to Democracy”. The new slander having come into vogue with the left especially after January 6^th when that talking point was distributed.

Yes, there have been multiple attempts to quash this man. They spied on his campaign. They made up lies about his attachment to Russia and spent years keeping that lie in the media only to be found empty. They tried impeaching him for a phone call that will likely prove to be prescient on the involvement of the Biden family in a corrupt Ukraine. They tried impeachment again over his holding a political rally where he exercised his constitutional right to speak.

While Biden and the left vilify everyone with whom they disagree, Trump has never disenfranchised other citizens. What Trump does espouse is the scum he found lurking behind the curtain.

Its clear that there are a lot of people who have a lot to lose should information come out on what has been going on in Washington for decades. The sweetheart public employee union deals, the way legislators cash in on their positions of power, the backroom lobbying that results in a tax code of nearly 74,000 pages, the legislation on campaign financing and election laws that inhibit new entrants, why climate change advocates are running the asylum, etc. The list is long and ripe for light to shine into the depths of the swamp. Trump the disruptor must be stopped or the house of cards crumbles.

If for no other reason, every American should want Trump or some other bull in a china shop to shake up the “establishment”. The cabal that is so strongly united (media, big tech, big business and the full weight of the Federal government) is scared of one man? No, they’re worried about what he represents. The thirst of millions for the country where you can safely walk the streets, say what you think without retribution and feel that the government works for you and not against you. Some call that democracy.
