In any other time or place, a country’s population would be rolling their eyes up over the blatant absurdity of what the current president is being put through.

There are certainly more than a few observers’ clarifying arguments in defense of the president. The best, in my mind, being Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin. God help the clueless Democrats who one day have to attend a confirmation hearing for Mark Levin as a Supreme Court Justice.

I’m not going to repeat the many absurdities of the Democrats’ position in this latest attempt to ...”orange man bad.” What I am going to do is note the most significant thing in all of this. It should concern everyone that the most bizarre and meaningless accusations are now looked at as if they are serious points for debate.

A president holds different views regarding policy, and won an election expressing those views. None of the views are extreme or particularly unusual: He sees his own country’s citizen’s interests as his first priority. He believes in actively pursuing economic and trade policies that will result in the most positive good to his fellow citizens. He wishes to enforce his country’s laws regarding immigration and border security, he feels that America’s Bill of Rights must be adhered to and that citizens’s voices and beliefs should not be censored or infringed upon. There are, of course, numerous specifics that are reasonable points of contention but such partisan disagreement has always been the case in past administrations. Again, we’re not talking about an attempt to “fundamentally transform” the country, which was the stated goal of the last president.

So, again, what is so special about now that the most mundane roles of a president are labeled authoritarian, fascistic, Nazi, and...”orange?”

One significant catalyst in all of this is a news media that is compliant in the wishes of the entrenched Bureau-state. The establishment media is for all intents and purposes, state media. Remember, no matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.

Even the issue of media collusion in the coup that has been taking place is just an example of a larger issue.

The leftist industrial complex is not trying to stop Trump from doing something. They’re freaking out because Trump is successfully stopping them from doing what they have directed their efforts toward for decades. Aggrandizement of power by the state seems to follow some basic principles, whatever statist minions may individually seek. The centripetal momentum is beyond the parts which seek to direct it. (Anthropomorphizing) Government “wants” to grow and consolidate power. There are individuals who think they are behind the wheel, but they’re not. An archetype pulls events and actions as much as individual players imagine they are directing them. I won’t claim it is any different for those of us who believe in individuality and freedom. Our support for freedom is certainly a valid personal belief but the principle itself is beyond us and directs us as much as we hope to direct it.

As I have stated many times before; the momentum to focus unbridled centralized power has been an ongoing project of at least a hundred years. The founders knew this would happen. They brilliantly established the country’s framework to make the statist task beyond difficult but, the defenses against emergent tyranny couldn’t last forever.

Donald Trump is an unforeseen obstacle to the state’s intrusion upon individual liberty. Election year soundbites like “free healthcare” and “free college” are meaningless. It is always the myth-like battle between centrifugal and centripetal gods directing the course of history.

So it is that we’ve reached the point where people can seriously pretend that a major scandal has occurred because a president talked on the phone with a foreign leader. Some would even suggest that he “sought dirt on a political opponent (gasp)” — like that never happens. The entire last three years has been an exercise by the Democrat/socialists to fabricate dirt on their political opponent!

An almost amusing side-note in all of this is the Democrat/socialists pretending that they haven’t already been trying to impeach Trump since before he was even elected. They simply can’t accept the outcome of the election. They can’t let their mission to establish socialism in America falter. They can’t let the forces of manifest state authority lose to the forces of individual liberty. And, as usual, they just can’t leave people alone.
