A Tyranny Perpetual and Universal?

Is the leftist dream now within reach? If President Trump loses, we will find out.  After “Is 2020 another ‘Flight 93 election?’” the question I most often hear is “What happens if Trump loses?”   The answer to the first question, unfortunately, is yes, but more so.

The tl;dr (Editor's Note: I hate it when they do internet slang in articles. Initialism of too long; didn't read.  RK) summary of the answer to the second is: much more of the same. More of all the trends, policies, and practices that revolutionized American life in the 1960s, that enrich the ruling class and its foot soldiers at middle America’s expense, erode our natural and constitutionally guaranteed rights and liberties, degrade our culture and its people, and dishonor our heritage and history. The war on those who self-identify as Americans, and only as Americans, who love their country despite its flaws—who are certain in their bones that its strengths and glories vastly outweigh its historic and present shortcomings—waged by those who hate America and Americans, who want to destroy the former and crush the latter, will go on.

Two important questions are whether that war will intensify or abate and whether it might abate overtly but intensify covertly. Those questions will be explored in what follows.

First, though, a necessary caveat. A tiresome, sophistic, bad-faith, and inevitable rejoinder to my argument will go something like this: “Trump is the president; therefore, you guys are in charge; this ‘ruling class’ of whom you speak includes him, and you. So you’re lying and contradicting yourself when you criticize an alleged ‘ruling class’ running the country in ways you don’t like.”
No. The only accurate statement in the above summary is “Trump is the president.” And thank God for that; we’d be much worse off if he weren’t. ...........To Read More............

My Take - It's clear the only way to fix the Deep State is to eliminate the agencies they work for. As for the intelligence agencies, they need to start firing people.  It's amazing how the rest will find they really like the President.  At least until the next President emerges.  Then they'll like him if he's willing to fire anyone out of step with his policies.
