TTIIY - The Continuing Failure of the Establishment to Get Rid of Trump. On December 9, 2015 I wrote the linked post. At that time I wrote the following, "There are a lot of pundits writing about why they believe people support Trump and none of them seem to get it. Now the media has gone as far as to compare Trump to Hitler, that is irrational hysteria and demonstrates their fear of Trump; but, more importantly their fear of American opinion." Nothing has changed
For the past two years I have been pointing out how the media lies and manipulates in order to achieve political goals and those goals are anti-democratic, authoritarian and pro-globalism. In 2016 the corporate mainstream media began saying that if Trump were elected they should immediately impeach him for basically any reason and nothing has changed except for the excuse, which changes every week based on each new claim they make.
The truth is that I didn't vote for Trump. In fact, back in 2015 I pointed out that because of superdelegates and rigged primaries, Sanders, my preferred candidate, would lose. For the past two years I have pointed out that no matter what Trump says or does, the media will call for his impeachment and they have. The attacks are not really about Trump, the attacks are on the idea of people choosing to change the establishment. The real fear is that people will stop going along with the media and the establishments controlling public opinion.
Over the past two years I have written numerous articles about corporate mainstream media saying that democracy was bad. Over the past two years I have pointed out numerous articles that said that the people were too dumb and evil to pick their leaders. The calls for Trump's impeachment for using Twitter to get around the media and for his liking his steaks well done as proof that he is unfit for office and the desperate cries of the media to make sure that populism does not rise any more. Remember the opposite of populism is elitism.
Here is a prediction, I bet next week they find a new reason to impeach Trump and they will continue doing that every week until the next Presidential election. Who wants to bet that I am wrong?

Elitism is anti-democratic.
