4 pointsPeople don't seem to understand that this election is a battle between Elitism and Populism and so they really don't understand what is at stake in the next election and why this election is the most important election in American history. First of all, let's clear up with the two terms mean. Elitism is not about wealth. Wealth is a secondary issue and a lot of ordinary people are Eltisits. Elitism is the ruling of people through unelected and unchecked institutions. They have power because of their title, and we must trust and obey their authority. Elitist organizations can be non-government organizations (American Bar Associate, American Medical Association), quasi-government organizations (Federal Reserve), government organization (three-letter Executive Branch organizations), corporations (big tech, media, big Pharma), and international organizations (UN, WTO, World Bank, IPCC). Populism is about representing the interests of ordinary people. Generally this means protecting their rights such as free speech, worship, right to petition, self-defense, privacy, unreasonable searches, self-incrimination, jury trial of their peers, property seizures, equal treatment, equal opportunity. The United States foundation was to break away from the Elitism which dominated Europe and the rest of the world. America was not made great because of diversity or even democracy, it was made great because we empowered the individual to succeed and do great at whatever they choose to do and enjoy the rewards of their accomplishments. Trump's popularity has absolutely zero to do with fascism or racism or whatever -ism the Elitists try to label it. Trump's popularity has to do with the ordinary people seeing their rights being squeezed away. Whether it be the Elitist's war of drugs, war on terror, the Red Scare, war on poverty....every single one of our individual rights is under constant assault from the Elitists and most of our rights are hanging on by a thread. The 'undesirables' of America are made largely of the rural conservative American families who 'cling to their guns and bible'. Their trust in every one of those Elitists institutions has gone to zero, and rightfully so. Free Speech is history as big tech through AI is cleansing the internet of speech which does not conform to what the institutions deem to be 'the truth'. January 6th served to criminalize populist-themed protests as 'insurrection' and a 'war on Democracray.' Elitist's approved protests can burn down cities, but even the slightest violence by populist protesters is met with iron-fist prosecutions. The DC court system has become a rubber stamp for all kinds of questionable search warrants for the NSA or FBI. All financial transactions are freely given by the financial institutions whenever asked for by the government. Federal criminal trials are often held in DC, which have jury pools almost exclusively made up of government employees or those supportive or dependant upon the elites. The whole idea that this is a jury of their peers is a cruel joke which gaurentee the conviction of any populist. What is happening to self-defense is sickening. A populist is always prosecuted while anyone that is associated with an elitist cause is always the victim. It never matters that the elitist side started and escalated the fight, it is always the populist who stands trial. Thankfully, the Elitists war on guns has seen many defeats, but they are getting more creative and will eventually find success in destroying gun manufacturers asd suppliers as the corruption of the court system gets worse. This war by the Elitists on individuals has been going on for decades, largely undetected by the masses. Even in 2016, it just seemed like Trump's talking about the swamp and deep state just seemed like political rhetoric to most, and there was still basic trust in our institutions. In fact, I believe Trump grossly underestimated the level of corruption that existed. The last 4 years has opened up a lot of people's eyes as to what is really going on. What is in the ballot this next election is not Republican vs. Democrat, fascism vs. democracy, conservstive vs. liberal. It is not about abortion, education, taxes, economy, racism, or any other single issue. What is on the ballot is if we are going to restore the government to one which respects the basic rights of individuals or cede our rights to the unelected unchecked authoritarian Elitists.

3 pointsThinks trump is a populist. Trump only cares about himself and his family. He's an elitist billionaire using uneducated working class morons to give him money and power.

3 pointsI’ve got to hand it to Trump. He came to Washington with a 40-year history of tax evasion, business fraud and stiffing contractors. His businesses hire illegals and manufacture their products in China. His admin was full of ivory tower elites and consistently pro corporate and anti labor. He literally lives in a country club. And somehow people still think he’s a populist. 100 years ago he’d have been a terrific snake oil salesman or tent revival preacher. Lot of people like being duped.

2 pointsFor home defense purposes only. I’ve never needed a gun, so-far, but this is the one I want. I doubt I’d have one in the car or conceal one in a public place. If I did, it would only be in a natural disaster situation. I’ve been around guns my entire life, but have had zero handguns in my lifetime. In my business, it was a big no no. Insurance adjuster and a PI. Huge liability loss if you use one in the wrong situation. Having one shipped this week. Updates at 11:00.

2 pointsSome elites dislike Trump because he’s a disgusting vulgarian and it is sort of funny watching him tick them off like Rodney Dangerfield at Bushwood. But all of them are happy to have Don play the clown while he gives them exactly the pro rich, pro corporate, anti labor policies they wanted. And he did it while convincing morons that he’s a “populist.” lol

1 pointClueless bootlicker. You are correct that Trump did not do much his first time on office, and I voted third party. But Trump was duped by the FBI, the DOJ, and the CDC the first time around. Then he got attacked by Big Tech, the court system, and Congress. This time around, Trump knows how the elitist swamp works and knows what needs to be done. This has absolutely ZERO to do with tax cuts or policies which give handouts. The is about the corrupt power structure and the collusion between government and corporate giants which has far more power than our elected government. This power structure is amassing enormous amount of power and must be stopped. Bootlickers like you are too f-ing ignorant and are clueless to how are freedoms are being destroyed. People like Trump and Elon Musk are at war with this corrupt elitist/establishment power structure. Elitisism is not about being rich. It is concentration of power in unelected and unchecked institutions. The failure to understand that will lead to us back to serfdom.

1 pointYep, that's what happened. I saw his second to last show, which was in Corpus Christi. Focking Night Ranger was the opening act. I was waiting in line for a drink while Night Ranger was on, and this flashy broad cut in line right in front of me. She turned to me and said, "I'm buying a drink for the artist." I snarled back, "Well, have the artist buy me a focking drink." And she did, buying me a Jack and Coke or something. Kinnison comes out, and a few minutes later the flashy broad walked out on stage and handed him the drink she had gotten him. It was a glass of wine, and this woman was his girlfriend. I don't remember him being all that funny that night. But Sam Kinison's girlfriend bought me a drink, and he died like eight days later.

1 pointFor the vast majority of normal working Americans it’s about jobs, healthcare, education, affordable housing etc. Obviously Don is the candidate for people who think they’re being enslaved. He’s a career victim and you’re his willing dupe.

1 pointHe didn't have enough time. He was too busy getting us into WWIII so he could use the nuke codes to destroy the world so he could rule over it forever.
