“Stolen from Mexico”….
The Bull in the China Shop
It occurred to me that those partisans who either love or hate Donald Trump would both confidently proclaim the anology that he’s a “bull in a china shop.” So, how is it that two completely different perspectives could use the same description for one man?
The answer is actually quite simple. Much of the divide in American politics today stems from those who are more or less satisfied with the entrenched establishment’s slow but steady march into socialist/globalist dystopia or those who want to see active disruption to the system for the sake of returning to sanity. Virtually every cultural and political institution in America today is a relic of traditional grasps for power — disguised as something novel and rebellious.
Real rebels don’t need neck tattoos, nose rings, green hair, or devotion to safety for violent criminals in the country illegally. Real rebels seeking constructive repair don’t need to parrot Marxist college professors or incompetent public school teachers or honor an ossified, corrupt, and fraudulent government.
Making “America Great Again” and holding a bias for “America first” isn’t a particularly radical idea, but it may initially require a rebellious “bull” in a china shop.
