Let's talk about Trump, down south, and the establishment.... - Belle of the Ranch

Well, howdy there internet people. It's
Belle again.
So, today we're going to talk about
Trump down south and the establishment.
I've referred to Trump as an
establishment figure recently. That's
led to some push back from people who
believed the billionaire who for years
donated to candidates on both sides of
the aisle, who aligned with both parties
as it suited him.
who appointed establishment billionaires
to his cabinet, who seeks to strengthen
the establishment at the expense of the
working class at every turn. I think you
get the point. Anyway, they think he's
anti-establishment despite, you know, all
evidence.
But I found their reasoning interesting.
Quote,
"You keep saying Trump is establishment.
He's an outsider. That's his whole
appeal and so obvious. Name another
president who isn't fighting wars for
oil in the Middle East. But is fighting
to keep Americans safe from drugs and
cartels.
Nothing tells you more about how
effective Trump's messaging is than
this."
Granted, this message came in before
Susie Wiles basically admitted that the
strikes on the boats were simply a move
to quote, "Keep on blowing boats up
until Maduro cries uncle and that
Maduro's days are numbered."
In other words, it's a regime change
operation thinly veiled as something
else. Aside from that, he continues to
frame it around fentanyl, something that
doesn't actually come from Venezuela.
And now he's declared fentanyl a weapon
of mass destruction.
So we have a president engaged in a
regime change operation long desired by
the establishment in an oil and
mineral rich country while framing it
around WMDs that aren't actually there.
Yeah, he is super different than the
establishment presidents of the past.
And just like most right-wingers, you'll
support the run-up to a war you don't
understand. And then, just like I rock,
when it goes sideways or drags on too
long or becomes politically
inconvenient, you'll pretend like you
opposed it and that you always knew
it wasn't necessary.
Let's also just acknowledge that you
can't know what's going on because
they're withholding it from you. The
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has now
stated the public won't get to see the
footage of the second strike on
September 2nd, which is the subject of
criminal allegations.
The withholding of this video
realistically only serves to convince
people the allegations are true. Hegseth
said, quote, "Of course, we're not going
to release a top secret, full unedited
video of that to the general public.
The administration has engaged in
widespread releases of this sort of
video from this campaign.
The decision to withhold the video isn't
about means, methods, and tech concerns,
which could be obscured.
It's about the content of the video.
Nobody is buying this.
Trump is the establishment.
Right-wingers will agree that rich
people donating to politicians is what
leads to a lot of bad decisions for the
country because politicians then just do
the bidding of the rich.
Electing Trump didn't stop this. It just
cut out the middleman for the rich.
Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have
a good day.
