He appears brilliantly designed to create the opportunity that is being exploited now. Were it not for him, and his boorish behavior, the powers that be could not have swung the nation so willingly into a trap.

He was the establishment’s sheep dog, scaring the public into the arms of the butcher. Without him, none of this obviously pre-planned fascism would have been marketable.

That just shows that the "DNC leftists" and everyone who fell for it didn't have any principles in the first place. If your principles get eroded by 1 person you don't like, then they don't exist.

Yeah, but everyone got taken. Trump supporters thought he was some outsider, ignoring the fact that he ran in the same circles and depended on their money too. He was a black flag op of the establishment.

He was hired to play the part of "The Heel".

This is just quite the elaborate fantasy to evade taking responsibility for your vote by not admitting that Trump would have been a better choice

Trump was a total shit show. I have no idea what you are on about.

Consider how he served the establishment you seem to think he was opposing. Their entire fascist move at this point depended wholly on his existence, without which none of this would’ve been possible.

Why don’t you take responsibility?

I don’t support trump, or Clinton, or Biden. The fact that you’re trying to find a hero among that pile of trash puts the burden on you to defend your position.

I think that is called a trojan horse, not that I believe Trump was aware of it.

You make it sound like Media and the citizens don't have any responsibility - or power - in this matter.

I think something you might also want to consider is that Establishment has definitively the most experience attaining and maintaining power. Part of that is being ready for random contingencies and adapting to them on the fly, or figuring out how to. I disagree that they expected Trump to win, and I think it shows in how it took them awhile (nearly four years) just to squeak out a win to depose him. EVEN THEN it required a pandemic to come along they could juice into a universal overreaction in order to tank the economy just in the nick of time for the election.

If it wasn't for COVID, do you seriously think Trump loses? After he INCREASED his minority demo?

Establishment aren't omniscient, it only seems that way because they're good at trying to adapt. It's their greed that gets them into trouble.

Except- at least half- the country didn’t fall for it. People need to take responsibility for their actions. If someone fell for it, its on them.

I think you give him too much credit. It was going this direction regardless. Give up your guns and you won’t be long for life.
