Trump & The Rise Of Righteous Fools
The Trump 2.0 regime is attacking education in America, along with a host of other things which have made America great over decades and centuries. Right wing extremists have been marshalled into a force for disassembling stuff. Trump and the rise of righteous fools. Harvard University, an institution of higher education which is much older than the United States itself, is being threatened and attacked by the Trump regime. One of Donald Trump’s sons couldn’t get into Harvard. I mention this in passing because with Trump this sort of thing is usually personal.
The Less Than Stellar Trumpists In Power
Those around Donald Trump, his minions, are made up of right wing extremists and nutjobs. Many of these individuals, also, have axes to grind with elite institutions that represent centres of power diametrically opposed to the world view of Trump. Dumb and born with a silver spoon, thanks to property tycoon Fred Trump, Donald wants his revenge. These individuals want to remake America in their own awful image. They don’t care about the life saving medical research taking place at places like Harvard. They are happy to defund it and cut off its supply of brilliant overseas students. It is some weird ideological mission of theirs to bring down Harvard whatever the cost to the country.
“Harvard University has become the epicentre of a growing row between Donald Trump’s administration and academia, with concerning implications for migration and human rights, academic freedom and research.”
The Trumpian Mediocrity
These bitter folk, I hesitate to call them losers, long to put the blame for their less than stellar lives at the feet of those institutions that rejected them. Mediocrity is their song of songs and they are going to try and force all Americans to sing it. Trump has risen to power on the disgruntlement of those who are unhappy with their lot in life. Social media has fanned the fires of complaint and grievance since 2009. The algorithms in concert with some help from Russian bots have stoked that blaze of discontent. Trump has conducted it like a discordant orchestra ever since. Blaming and denigrating all of America again and again. Everyone feels like shit these days. It must be someone or something’s fault. Pin the tail on the donkey – the Democrats. Now, the champion of the unhappy millions is back in power. The dictator for a day is seeking retribution. Bringing down the tall poppies. Cutting them off at their governmentally funded knees.
Trump Regime Is A Fascist State
Trump and the rise of righteous fools. Oh come all ye faithless. Come all ye losers and left behind. Join him on his tour of destruction. Bringing down the government, department by department. DOGE slashes away education, USAID, and sacks tens of thousands of civil servants. All the good people get shafted to the joy of the perennially disenfranchised. ICE illegally seizes and deports any and anyone with the wrong coloured skin and tattoos. Sloppy Americans destroying the lives of other Americans. Locking up innocence in a gulag in El Salvador.
Make America Great Again. Give me a break. It is a hatchet job on all that is and was exceptional in the US. These lousy lowlifes are the worst of what is ugliest about America. Down with Trump and his minions.
“Imagine for a moment it is you that has been confronted outside your home on the street by aggressive masked men. Brutally grabbed and bundled into a van and driven off who knows where. You know that you have not done anything wrong and cannot understand what the f*** is going on. Denied access to family or legal counsel. Held against your will for weeks and months; is this America? “
