Is there someone who can actually think about Trump and what he means – rather than weeping and calling the gods like some old minstrel in romance novels?

I know. This, among many other causes, has led me to abandoning identification with and expression of “progressive” thought. Seeing people flagellate themselves and rend their clothes, moaning about Trump’s election being the worst day of their lives has been infuriating. Many of these people were alive on 9/11 and around for the Iraq war in 2003, which were both far larger tragedies. Even Obama’s abandonment of the middle class and embrace of the banksters was far worse than anything Trump has done (though his tax cut for the rich comes close).

Though I don’t support the impeachment of Trump mainly because then we’ll get Mike Pence, I do support the idea in principle. However, Bush. Jr. and Obama should’ve also been impeached as both were war criminals as well.

People (mainly idiot progressives) see Trump as some sort of abnormality, some sort of divergence from the norm. However, the sturm und drang associated with Trump is the new normal around the world.

There are no systems thinkers in the media or in the progressive camp, so both have no clue at all what’s going on and probably never will.

We need those new minds. So far, I see scant evidence that enough of them are being created to matter.
