6 thoughts on “Trump Is No Messiah”

1. younger, more educated populations

   Does anybody consider the implications of this? These are the people with no experience, swallowing the lefts indoctrination.

   More education is better defined as less real world experience.

   I say you don’t get to vote until you’re a grandparent!

2. So it’s the dumb malcontents that support Trump, the same people who support all the populist dictators who turn out to be a disaster.

   The 2nd link goes on about the positives that can result from ‘disruptions’, but normally the consequences of disrupting systems are negative, especially when the cause of the disruption is reactionary rather than a push to establish a clearly more productive system, and that especially applies to political disruptions built around personality cults.

3. They used to call someone a ‘reformist’ i.e. someone who could change the system. So now the system can’t be reformed? It must be destroyed? Interesting to say when you are in one of the longest lasting democracies in the world. Sounds to me like they are part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

   1. Longest-standing republic, not democracy. Democracies never last long. And if they’re French, republics don’t either.

      The problem with Trump is not just that he’s a long-time Democrat, but that he’s also a democrat.

   2. Democracy can’t last long when one side keeps importing masses of new voters to keep electing them no matter what they do.

4. “Trump Is No Messiah…and neither was Barack Obama. I eschew personality cults”

   From your posted link Rand the last sentence:

   “If it’s salvation you seek, you won’t find it from a politician of either party. They’re pretty much all very naughty boys. And girls. Vote accordingly.”

   I think that says it all; about Trump, Obama or any of the rest of the lot. Although some may turn out to be more competent/useful in a given circumstance than others.
