The Fix Is In

Many who couldn’t stand Trump, would never vote for him, and have been willing consumers of the awesome amount of propaganda published on the Trump subject, now need to face the fact that they’ve been had. Transformed into the avatar of all bad things — a crude domestic combo platter of Saddam, Milosevic, Assad, and Putin — this vision of the über-villain, Trump, has been used to distract mass audiences from the erosion of “norms” at home. “Protecting democracy” in the Trump context will be remembered as having served the same purpose as Saddam’s mythical WMDs, the shots fired in the Gulf of Tonkin, or Gaddafi’s fictional Viagra-enhanced army. Those were carefully crafted political lies, used to rally the public behind illegal campaigns of preemption.
Voters, by voting, “protect democracy.” A politician who claims to be doing the job for us is up to something. The group in the current White House is trying to steal for themselves a word that belongs to you. Don’t let them.

Going back to beat on the article a bit...The current trend in national politics worries me a bit. Politics ain't beanbag and it's always been a rough and tumble profession, but this concentrated effort to run a microscope through candidate's lives, to manufacture stories if facts don't exist and the willingness of the MSM to absolutely abandon any semblance of fairness and independent research, does not bode well for the good of the Republic.
Trump is once again functioning as a Rorschach test and a mirror for the establishment. A chaos test that shows all the weaknesses in the system.
Whether is he is elected or not, we have some serious problems we need to change, such as the concentration of nonelected power in The Swamp, the abandonment of fairness in the media, the use of lawfare as a campaign tool and the lack of penalty for using government agencies inappropriately.
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

Spot on. The lack of guiding ethics is appalling.
