   Susan,

   I think, in some ways, the whole ruling class is a big cabal. They go to the same schools, they marry each other, they all live in the same circles. Oh, people like to deride the “Georgetown cocktail parties”, but that is a shorthand for what is going on. They swim in water they cannot see because they swim in it. Everyone outside is deplorable in some way. This is not a party thing, but a class thing. And is is not a class thing in the American sense of who has money, but in a more social standing. Trump is not part of their class and never will be.

   I don’t think Sam Walton would have been either.

   This is a very interesting way to describe it. I’ll need to think it over.

   This didn’t start with Obama, or even Clinton. The democrat left has had a ruthless power hunger for most of my life, and probably before. They believe in the end justifies the means, and they believe in socialist central planning.

   In other words, they are everything that we were warned about in the red scare Joe McCarthy era. They are trying to undermine this country, its constitution, and individuality itself. They have no tolerance for opposition. You must think as they demand, you must consume as they demand, you must submit, or you will get crushed.

   It’s not only the democrats, I realize, there is plenty of statist thought to go around. “What? You think you should be able to do something I disagree with? There needs to be a law!”

   But the democrats have made it their playbook to follow Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Alinsky. They have infiltrated the government and the education system. And they are willing to do whatever it takes to impose their will. The law is a tool for them to destroy their opposition, and it does not constrain them. They, after all, are trying to do the ‘right’ thing. It’s for the children, for the oppressed, and for the greater good, don’t you know?

   Amen brother! This transformation started in the sixties. The march to the left was joined by the teacher’s unions, college faculties, labor unions, the civil rights movement, the liberal press, feminists, illegal aliens, and the democrat party. Why are we surprised when the FBI comes on board. If you oppose the march then you must be destroyed. Only Trump has the cojones to take them on but even his own party will not support him. Sad.

   And we still have Republicans who swear the Deep State is a paranoid myth.
