Why Liberals Don't Understand Donald Trump
I'm not entirely sure Conservatives do, either...
Note: This article was drafted prior to the Trump raid, and was planned for publication when the raid occurred. In order to avoid confusion where readers might have thought it was a commentary on the raid, the article was temporarily postponed whilst people cooled down. The Daily Beagle have since drafted their in-depth response to the raid here.
Attempting to shoehorn Donald Trump into the oversimplified left-right divide, many Liberals tried to pigeonhole Donald Trump as something akin to Hitler reincarnate, with insane titles like:
And this particularly unintelligent one from academia at Boston University, no less:
Where the article goes on to say to not compare him to Hitler… but to compare him to ‘Joe McCarthy [hardline anti-Communist], George Wallace [segregationist], and David Duke [KKK White Supramacist]’.
So… basically Hitler, then?
The Daily Beagle has their own criticisms of Donald Trump, but those mostly revolve around his failure to do what the voter base elected him for, namely, draining the swamp, as well as pointing out the media’s over-the-top rhetoric is overwhelmingly suspicious (who pays them to keep making Hitler comparisons all day anyway?), although not for the reason Conservatives think.
Liberals Didn’t Do Their Research On Trump
And I’m not entirely sure the Conservatives have either. Has anyone done a meaningful background check? Liberals only seem to be able to ask ‘is this fascist?’
Conservatives seem to only be able to ask whether it is RINO [Republican In Name Only]:
If both sides had done a background check into Donald Trump and stopped holding onto media foisted left-right divides, they would have found out the shocker that Donald Trump, is in-fact a…
Moderate
Surprise! Moderates and centrists represent the disappointing compromise between two positions - often Neo-Liberal globalism and Neo-Conservative globalism, which for the general public means ‘same old, same old’.
That’s why nothing happened. No ‘concentration camps’ and ‘mass racism’ as the liberals freaked out about, and no swamp draining clean up service or mass deportation of crooks as the conservatives had hoped.
You got exactly what you voted in. Another stooge.
If you asked me to name the difference between the two types of Neo, I’d be hard pressed to distinguish. Which topics they lie to you differs between the two “parties”, I guess? Representative democracy is dead, after all.
How can we tell he’s a boring old moderate? Well, if you look at his history, it is all there…
Reform Party 2000
Contrary to popular belief, the Simpsons didn’t actually predict Donald Trump’s presidency. The claimed ‘prediction’ occurred in Simpsons episode “Bart to the Future”, which was the 17th episode of the 11th season of the Simpsons, and aired in March 19th 2000.
In the episode, a scene involving Lisa Simpson as President (in Bart’s hallucinogenic vision of the future) comments:
As you know we've inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump, how bad is it Secretary Van Houten?
Glossing over the fact it doesn’t mention Donald’s first name, The Daily Beagle had previously read the basis for the Simpsons was Donald Trump’s earlier presidential campaign attempt, where back in July 18th 1999, Newsweek speculated that Trump was toying with the idea of a presidential campaign:
[…] a close friend of Donald Trump's tells NEWSWEEK that he's also toying with a bid. Trump apparently thirsts for revenge on Weicker for blocking a casino in Bridgeport. […]
Trump would later take running for President seriously on October 1999 and joined the Reform Party, going so far as to even organising it. Trump would hire Roger Stone as part of his presidential committee.
This would later go on to inspire the Simpsons March 2000 episode, where Matt Groening (accused of sexual abuse and ties to Jeffrey Epstein) was “staunchly opposed” to Donald Trump (also accused of sexual abuse and ties to Jeffrey Epstein) and considered the idea of a Trump presidency to be the most absurd thing that could happen, hence the episode’s single line throwaway gag.
As a result of Trump seriously contending as president back in 2000, and in-fighting resulting with Pat Buchanan, Jesse Ventura - the man who originally tried to help expand Reform Party with Ross Perot - stepped down his candidancy in Feburary. After Jesse Ventura did so, on Feburary 14th 2000, Donald Trump folded down his own Reform Party campaign.
Jesse Ventura was a known TV figure - yet another SAG-AFTRA actor, who, like Trump, appeared on wrestling, and had even originally asked a former WWF board member, Lowell Weicker, to run on the Reform Party 2000 ticket. The Wrestling Heel indeed.
Trump’s proposed cabinet for the Reform Party included such globalist figureheads as Oprah Winfrey (as vice president), and Ukraine-war sparking, now dead, John McCain (as secretary of defence).
At the time, he declared he was Republican registered, and admits he’s “somewhat liberal on social issues”, all of which scream ‘moderate’:
Moderates In Moderation
Showing how ‘moderate’ his position was, Donald Trump met with then President Bill Clinton at Trump Tower on June 16th 2000:
For the years between 1989 to 2010, according to Ballotpedia, Donald Trump donated more to Democrats than to Republicans, including donating to the child trafficking connected Clinton Foundation. His donations to Democrats only significantly decreased from 2011 onwards.
Donald Trump changed his political affiliation more than 5 times, which the Washington Times noted back in 2015:
He was a Republican between 1989 to 1998
In 1999 he switched to Independence Party
In 2001 enrolled as a Democrat
In 2009 switched back to Republican again
And in 2011 marked he did not wish to enroll in a party
Obviously he switched back to being a Republican in 2016 having run as a Republican Candidate. Prior to becoming President, he had spent nearly an equal amount of time between Republican (11 years) and Democrat (8 years).
Despite being registered Republican from 1989-1998, he continued to donate to Democrats as well, as noted above. All of this, again, screams ‘moderate’.
This explains why as a “Republican” he banned gun bumpstocks, pardoned drug smuggler “Christopher II X” (alt. Christopher 2X) with offences in three states (something Rand Paul weirdly congratulated the drug smuggler on; the drug smuggler was also bizarrely pardoned again by Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin), why Truth Social censors both liberals and conservatives, why Trump says Ukraine should have done a deal with Russia whilst having shipped anti-tank equipment to Ukraine and telling Germany to avoid doing economic deals with Russia.
Liberals are mistaken when they call Trump “Hitler” or “Nazi”, and Conservatives are mistaken when they call him either “Conservative” or, more brazenly, a “Hero”. Trump is a fence sitting moderate, neither here nor there. Self-interested? Maybe. But moderate, no qualms with pandering to and attacking both sides.
Trump isn’t here to do anything anyone expects of him. Representative democracy is dead.
