From Eric Peters, on a guest post on theburningplatform.com:
Whatever happens, it’s going to get ugly.long hot summer
If Trump is nominated, there will be riots – the Perpetually (and professionally) Aggrieved will take to the streets.
If Trump is denied the nomination, there will be riots – as the people come face to face with the true nature of the system they were taught to respect since childhood.
Not since 1861 has America been so clearly divided. These divisions transcend mere political differences of opinion over this or that policy. There is a fundamental schism. Irreconcilable differences. The two sides detest each other, have almost nothing in common. And so can no longer live together.
Trump has been likened to Hitler – which is unfair. He is no Hitler. He is a crony capitalist and some other things, too. Mussolini, maybe.
But he isn’t Hitler.
However, he is riding a wave – make that a tsunami – similar to the one that led to the chancellorship of the German Reich (as it was styled in those days) falling into the hands of the former gefreiter. The people of Germany had been driven to a state of desperation and frenzy by decades of economic evisceration of their country and thus, of themselves. Their country had been ruled over by a revolving, insular cabal of greedheads and frauds, some nothing more than puppets of financial interests, who milked the cow for their and their masters’ benefit.
Sound familiar?
People lacked jobs – and those who did have them felt insecure in them. Depraved elements seemed to be having a field day. Things appeared to be falling apart all around them.
The people had had enough … genug.
And in their desperation, elected Der Fuhrer.
People forget this – or never learned this.
Hitler did not seize power, He was freely elected by a majority in an election whose results are not and never were disputed insofar as whether ballots were stuffed or otherwise rigged. They weren’t. The people turned to Hitler because there was – as they saw it – no one else to turn to.GOP Establishment
When one is drowning, one tends not to be picky about the life preserver one grabs.
Today, the life preserver – as he is seen by his supporters – is Trump.
