Trump’s Socialism: Bribing voters with their own money
- The Senate majority – the alleged “deliberative body” of the Constitution – continues rubber stamping the whims of their Party Leader (much like the Parties of his “Great Friends” Communist North Korean leader Kim Il Sung, Russian Communist dictator and internationally convicted mass murderer Vladimir Putin, and his best business partner Communist Chinese leader Xi. Trump is the first American president in history to have as his closest friends – only Communist dictators.
It seems Trump’s base has dwindled to the myopic MAGA, his mewling, sychophantic staff & Cabinet members; his communist cabal of dictators and his retinue of pardoned fraudsters, embezzlers and drug cartel captains.
Much like latter Caesars’ base depended on the barbarian hordes from the North.
And yet, Trump threatens to remove Castro from Cuba. That’s sociopathic projection on a massive scale.
Trump believes there’s room in the Western Hemisphere for only one dictator who can siphon off its’ natural resources and wealth.
The wealth of-the Roman empire depended on foreign conquests and taxing (Tariffs) their oppressed neighbors.
When Rome’s neighbors threw off the yoke of “tribute” (tariffs) the empire couldn’t continue paying its citizenry for political, economic or social loyalty. Trump’s promised “Great!” tariff windfall for every American due to his arbitrary abuse of constitutional authority was doomed by a clear-thinking U.S. Supreme Court.
As in Rome, America’s inflation skyrocketed, the oligarchy continues grabbing up the resources depriving the masses of the means to maintain their expected standard of living.
As in Rome, America’s, political corruption runs amuck, the Treasury coffers empty, Caesar creates fake currency, and social entropy increases exponentially.
In ancient Rome, the resulting societal chaos resulted in civil war and the dissolution of the Republic.
Trump has never been a conservative. Neither has most of the GOP. Neither Trump’s nor New York City’s DNA has ever been conservative or patriotic in general.
- – The Federalist Papers were written to counter the New York Times and NYC mayor’s ad campaign discouraging the colonies from ratifying the new constitution.
- Despite several brave New York battalions raised during the Civil War, NYC experienced several anti-draft riots by thousands of protestors. The richest men in NYC committed the most heinous fraud against the federal government’s war efforts.
- During WW II union dock workers held the government’s war supplies hostage until usurious labor rates were granted.
There’s a difference between Goldwater (R) and Proxmire (D) “conservative” principles and today’s GOP (Chamber of Commerce/ corrupt capitalism) and DNC (DSA) corruption of capitalism (see: David a. Stockman, The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America, 2013)
Real economic conservatism is called Free Enterprise – the principles of Bastiat and Hayek.
True conservative principles cannot be separated from Christian principles any more than the laws of physics can be separated from the ordered nature of the universe.
And yet politicians and their Party acolytes continue trying – to their eventual destruction.
Just like Rome.
“What is past is Prologue” – Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act 2, Scene 1. (inscribed on the base of the statue at the northeast corner of the National Archives Building, Washington, D.C.
“A great man can be good provided that, while exercising power, he fulfills two conditions. First, he must deny himself all the personal advantages of power. Second, he must realize that the accident of possessing temporal power does not give him Spiritual authority.
A society in which the boss is mad enough to believe he is a prophet is doomed to destruction.” – Aldous Huxley, The Perennial Philosopher, 1944; p 124.
