Specious nonsense. You think there is a bona fide leftist movement? Let me tell you, there is a massive movement on the the other side. You just don't know it's there because of the echo chamber that is the media, the arts and the bureaucracy.
Middle America is very ####ing angry, and they are ready for civil war, believe me on that one. Trump embodies that anger and though he will most l likely not be truly representative of them,
You watch, if as the left prophesized (and even implored in some cases), Trump coos a bullet to the head, the poo will really hit the propeller.
I for one hope Trump serves as catalyst for the de-gradualism of the poisonous gradualist brain washing and social engineering, the awakening of critical thought and escewing of the pathological "virtuenza" that is plaguing the West and handing economic (and eventually military) hegemony to the Far East.
This is the panic evident in the socialists, that people are staying to wake up.
There's never been a "left" or a "right" movement. There's only ever been revolutionary ones.
Show me one example of a Leftist movement and I'll show you how it's just your ordinary "People are pizzed off" movement.
Yes, Middle America are angry, but they're not angry because they're Left or Right. They're pizzed because they've been screwed by the establishment and that is the only reason "an outsider" like Trump who seriously have no business running anything other than some scam, managed to become president.
So while Trump and his other jokers want to think that he got in because of his racist, protectionist speaks. He and the DNC, RNC and media got it horribly wrong thinking that as long as they beat up on Mexicans and Muslims, business can carry on as usual. It better not. But for some reason it's about to be accelerated.
Again, it's not "Socialism" or hippie dippy welfare state and abandoning Christian value, or migrants and refugees, or PC and the "liberal" mainstream media... those are not what brought America (and Europe, Australia and other great and noble Western democracies) to its current position.
It's the same old problem of centuries and empires past that does it. i.e. the established power elite and their courtiers are screwing over the stupid plebs and peasants - putting them in their place, showing them who own the dam place.
Just that in multi-cultural democracies, these psychos have ready-made, weak and defenceless scapegoats to blame. i.e. the poor (welfare cheats), the poor coloured coolies who come over to steal jobs, the poor refugees who flee from countries our masters of war are liberating coming over to blow us all up.
So while they tax and take from the plebs, their own skin and blood, point their fingers to the other impure parasites... well, how long can they keep doing that before people wisen up? Or if not wisen up, just upset enough to just burn something.
That's how Imperial Russia got burnt and their Czars family got shot and burried somewhere; that's how the the last Manchurian Emperor became a common gardener (and thankful for it)... and that's how Theodore Roosevelt got smart enough and be convincing enough to his fellow blue blood that they better cut this bs corporate welfare fat cat stuff before they too are stuffed.
A democracy is great in that it permit the peaceful transfer of power between parties - to better serve the need of the common people.
What this system has become of late is simply a bait and switch between the same single party, doing the same bs under different branding: serving the corporate monied interest at the massive expense of the poor and working class.
Can't keep pulling that off forever.
