Note that democracy’s problem is an oppression, not a freedom. It becomes forbidden to defer to authority. It becomes forbidden to be productive. As we see right now, acknowledging differences becomes forbidden. In short, organization becomes forbidden. In attempting to destroy dominance and command, prestige and leadership are caught in the crossfire.

He skips that it is those Plato calls the “drones” that support the tyrant. The drones are basically the underclass and are far more likely to support Obama than Trump.

Yes, Andrew Sullivan, another CON-servative RINO crypto liberal, to put it mildly, who endorsed Barack Obama back in 2008, largely because he believed that he would restore “the rule of law and Constitutional balance”; he also argued that Obama represented a more realistic prospect for “bringing America back to fiscal reason,” and expressed a hope that Obama would be able to “get us past the culture war.” Sullivan has continued to maintain that Obama is the best choice for president from a conservative point of view. During the 2012 election campaign, he wrote, “Against a radical right, reckless, populist insurgency, Obama is the conservative option, dealing with emergent problems with pragmatic calm and modest innovation. The same Andrew Sullivan who wrote in another recent column, Don’t you dare call it fascism: Andrew Sullivan on why Donald Trump’s ideologically incoherent movement doesn’t even deserve the epithet, At least “fascism had, in some measure, an ideology and occasional coherence that Trump utterly lacks”. In 2006, Sullivan was named as an LGBT History Month icon and also stated that he has always been a Zionist. If Sullivan is a conservative, like he states that he “absolutely” is, then I’m Rumpelstiltskin. He is refuted in Salon, of all places: Andrew Sullivan is wrong again: His mainstream liberalism has become scarily anti-democratic

“Andrew Sullivan’s ballyhooed debut in New York magazine, he presents the candidacy of Donald Trump as a unique, “extinction-level” threat to the United States of America. One does not have to read far beyond his headline, however, to realize that Sullivan’s real purpose is to malign his usual antagonists on the left. His argument is an example of just how bankrupt the mode of liberalism he represents has become. It’s anti-democratic and culturally elitist message, however, reveals an opportunity for the left to reinvigorate its politics through an engagement with the humanities – an engagement that mainstream liberals like Sullivan have abandoned.”

It’s so funny, people call Trump fascist but then support Hillary, who doesn’t have one skeleton in her closet, he has a whole graveyard, not A scandal, but one scandal rolling into another for decades…

Like Scott Adams, I also predict a landslide for Trump, not just because I want to see a Slovenian first lady, which Melania would be, but because every time the establishment insults him, they also insult the average joe; they project the disdain for the commoner on Trump without even realizing it, but the voting public does! So the more they scream “Hitler!” the bigger the turnout and the win will be.

Speaking of Adams, he just did a great interview on Trump:

“I think it is a hybrid of spontaneity and talent that is baked into his personality from decades of practice. Remember, he wrote the book The Art of the Deal. And even if you think his ghostwriter wrote it, I’m sure he at least read it. Negotiating is persuasion. It is psychology. He tells us in those words.”

Text or YouTube version of this.

The mentioned Salon article almost warrants its own post, so negate this one, it’s a great piece.
