Where Do We Go from Here?
If one spends some time examining what has happened between the lead-up to the 2016 election and since then, as it regards Donald Trump, I think it is really difficult to pin any serious wrongdoing, much less actions involving criminal intent on him.
It is very interesting how the media helped Trump with publicity during the 2016 Republican primary campaign, then turned immediately into almost totally biased opposition after that. He still won that election, although the Democrats flailed about in severe election denial. Most already existing mainstream media has been anti-Trump since his election in 2016. Trump has had significant support in alternative media sources.
Democrats, aided by anti-Trump turncoat Republicans, worked throughout Trump’s term to bring him down, mostly with false information and accusations of wrongdoing, nothing ever proven, including claims that Trump’s actions and statements about the 2020 election and during the January 6 protests and riot involved inciting insurrection. Let’s refer to these anti-Trump-Agenda types as Globalists.
There are others, who may actually support Trump’s agenda but don’t like how he conducts himself, they don’t like his personality, so they tend to turn to other Republicans who actually either support the Globalists or do little to oppose them. Trump’s clarion call is to Make America Great Again (MAGA). Globalists’ falsely label MAGA as fascist, a term that describes forms of national socialism. MAGA does promote America’s national sovereignty but certainly not socialism. Trump’s agenda for MAGA has a number of issues to be addressed; trade, border control, and military conflict, lead that list. But his four years in office reveal we are in a real fight for the freedoms Americans are guaranteed under the US Constitution against the Oligarchs pushing for one world government.
Meanwhile, we were learning so many dark things about Democrats in general, and even some Republicans, and our federal bureaucracy, but without generating any inquiry interests in the various departments and agencies of the government. A picture depicting a severe and almost total political divide between the Republicans (Trump-led) and the Democrats (Obama-led) emerged in the 2020 and 2022 elections.
The Globalist movement led by the World Economic Forum (WEF) benefits from a century of groundwork by the Socialists and Communists in America culminating in the last 40 years with the hollowing out of America’s traditional institutions. The MAGA agenda is arrayed in opposition to the Global Socialists (Globalists) and strives to restore the integrity of our emptied traditional institutions. The weapons are money, political power, disinformation, and knowledge. I’m using knowledge here as complete and truthful information as opposed to propaganda and indoctrination.
There are plenty of issues, viewpoints, and characters that will be part of the coming period.
Pay attention and enjoy the ride.

BINGO
Further proof that you don’t study public policy.
I cannot recommend that interview enough.
Exactly. @garyrobbins Notice that a justification for American action in that conflict is not part of Gary’s argument.
I came up with a fairly simple definition of globalism, but I can’t recall it at this moment.
Replying to“@getpaidwriteI am neither conventionally right nor left, but I agree with your point. The woke mind virus has thoroughly penetrated entertainment and is pushing civilization towards suicide. There needs to be a counter-narrative.”
The above is a statement by Elon Musk about the current state of cultural affairs in America. The populist movement is our very first political effort to address this issue and the funding by big donors of Establishment GOP candidates, and efforts to turn more populists candidates towards GOP Establishment goals, needs to be countered and resisted.
This makes me wonder if the current populist movement is really representing the middle of the political spectrum in America and we have allowed the Left to control the narrative by convincing the less aware through propaganda that the we are somehow representing the evil of those labeled far right from the past, i.e. the Fascists.
I never recognize myself in the descriptions of my political posture leveled at us by the Left and the MSM.
I know I’m repetitive on this, but you think exactly like all of the Principles First crowd.
Here’s CNN using their intelligence analyst to go after the free speech support advocated by Elon Musk since it will allow all to express their views on the Ukraine conflict, a clip from RedState:
