I've noticed that RI is anti-establishment until a true anti-establishment candidate has a chance of winning. Then the script flips to 100% mainstream Democratic talking points. I understand the point you're making about Trump being a wildcard. But he's really not. He's pretty transparent about his values and priorities. And more importantly he's the type who can
get things done. Excuses don't fly in the business world, it's all about results. He's already under budget and ahead of schedule with this election. Betting against Trump to get things accomplished, after what he just pulled off, is not a bet I'd want to make. The man just
wins. And now he's going to win on America's behalf.
Trump isn't anti-establishment. He is the establishment. Politics often is the screen the establishment uses to put a pretty front on what is happening behind the scenes. I'm not going to tunnel through all the threads, but look up my post where I lay out how Trump is an elite. And it's not great investigative reporting, its just a list. By any criteria he is. That a white man given all the privileges in the world chooses to be a racist, misogynistic, bullying xenophobe whose only policy is to blame others only to increase his publicity, wealth and control is somehow as seen as an outsider is nuts. He had a show where he humiliated those from the lower class so they could win the privilege of being his daily serf. A billionaire tyrant born to money and has done nothing but increase his wealth through corruption on the backs of the poor now wants to destroy two political parties and bring in ideologues who are all about authoritarian and rapacious programs is seen as an outsider to the establishment, is laughable. And Stalin got shit done, Hitler got shit done, those guys were efficiency experts.
Trump is the establishment figure who said, fuck this telephone game of going through lobbyists and politicians to get what I want. I'll just throw them all out saying they are crooks and then I can just get what I want directly. The plebes will think I'm a hero by destroying the process because I'll destroy it with little truths that add up to one big lie. The lie that I'm an outsider. When I'm more inside than most of the politicians. An oligarch was just made Caesar and you are clamoring for him to get things done?
You are confusing winning, with "winning". That is the same mistake Charlie Sheen made.
