Did Trump ever intend to follow through on his campaign platform?

The Irish Savant:

Shortly after Trump was elected in 2016 I asked if he actually believed in his campaign rhetoric or alternatively had he just spotted an opportunity to deploy it to win the Biggest Prize Of All. The answer surely lies between those extremes but equally assuredly must tilt massively towards the latter. While he did some good things (some immigration restrictions, court appointments, no new wars, pulling back from international bodies) he delivered on almost none of the promises he made to his base. And how could he given he appointed people to key roles who hated both him and  the deplorables he supposedly represented? Above all his decision to make Kushner his right-hand man must have doomed the project from the outset. (This is not 20:20 hindsight, regular readers will know that I've flagged this from the beginning.) It's hard to conceive of anybody more viscerally hostile to Traditional America than this Chabad Lubivicher snake. It would be hard to imagine anybody less suitable or willing to implement Trump's campaign platform.

Yet Trump made him his right-hand man. He was privy to everything, feeding the poison, undermining the few Trump loyalists in the Administration such as Bannon, Sessions and the early speech-writers. All of whom were quickly dispatched. And replaced with the likes of John Bolton and Nikki Haley. This suggests another thing: Trump seems neither to extend nor inspire personal loyalty, appearing instead to be largely transactional. 'You don't like this policy? Here, I got plenty more'. Such a person was never likely to take on the project of saving Heritage America. 

And most certainly is not the one to lead a new "Deplorables" third party. (Speaking of which I hope said deplorables abstain en masse in forthcoming elections. Let the Republican Party die. They're useless RINOs.)  But personalising a party around Trump would be disastrous, tempting as it may be to capitalise on his personality. First he's proven himself incompetent in that he has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. (Had he taken on social media and Big Tech early on in his Administration he'd have coasted to victory.) And we now know that he'll throw his base under the bus again in the unlikely event of a successful comeback.

Am I being unduly cynical? Well his final act as President in many ways defines his legacy: using his Presidential pardon powers to set loose a rancid gaggle of Jewish crooks, Israeli spies and black murderers while Assange languishes in captivity. 

But seventy million Americans voted for him. That constituency is still there and crying out for an inspiring and effective leader. 

Trump is not that man.

Definition of twenty-twenty hindsight

: the full knowledge and complete understanding that one has about an event only after it has happened

With 20/20 hindsight we now see where our strategy went wrong.

"cum ar vedea (la final) orice om obişnuit"

As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20, but what do those numbers mean, anyway? Basically, it refers to the normal visual acuity of a person, the sharpness or clarity of their eyesight. Let me elaborate by giving an example:
A ‘Snellen chart’ is an eye chart that measures a person’s visual acuity. Somebody with 20/20 vision has normal acuity, meaning if they were to stand at a distance of 20 feet from the eye chart, then they would be able to clearly see each row of letters.

So what happens if instead the person has 20/40 vision? Well now the person’s acuity is worse, so the letters they see clearly at a distance of 20 feet, someone with normal acuity can see those same letters with just as much clarity at a distance of 40 feet.

Anyway, the point is that someone with 20/20 vision has good eye sight; they see things clearly.

Interesant blogul lui Irish savant. White power, antisemitism, apologist imperial-colonialist și el și comentatorii. Măcar din perspectiva coloniei, nu-mi trezește nici simpatie nici empatie, dar e o lectură interesantă.
De-asta îmi place blogul tău: nu știu unde le găsești, sunt lecturi pe care nu le găsesc decât la tine.
România se află de partea cealaltă a istoriei, nicidecum nu ne regăsim de aceeași parte a baricadei cu imperialismul alb occidental, exceptând elitele alogene și/ sau trădătoare de acum și dintotdeauna.

N-am remarcat (foarte mult/des) o linie "apologist imperial-colonialist/ă" la autor, am mai vazut la comentatori. De-o fi şi linia asta, n-o cred definitorie şi nu pe ea o "promovez".

Cu "albii", cred că n-ar trebui să ne jenăm, având în vedere atacurile care vin mereu inclusiv din partea eschimosilor sau a #quasarilor, abuziv consideraţi "albi".

Gabriel spunea...

Albi ne considerăm noi, dar nu suedezii de pildă sau alți occidentali. Până și turcii au început să-si dea ifose rasiste față de noi, parcă ei ar fi prototipul arian al lui Hitler.
Chiar azi am citit despre o carte din Suedia rasistă la adresa românilor, "Copii căpșunarilor". Am scris-o cu ani în urmă și pe blogul pe care-l țineam cândva și o repet: mai ușor cu rasismul, că într-o lume rasistă s-ar putea să avem surpriza să nu fim rasă superioară cum ne credem.

Riddick spunea...

Nu mă gândeam la "rasism", ci la "ţinutul-aproape"* cu cei asemănători, deci la o atitudine defensivă şi afirmativă. "Unapologetic", nu "jingoistic".


* Am început şi eu să scriu cu cratimă, luîndu-mă după stilul lui Paul Goma, care astfel "încarcă cu sensuri" expresia. (se face anul de la moartea lui şi n-are încă o stradă în Bucureşti care să-i poarte numele)

Referitor la DUDA ZILEI: "Deci democraţia "liberală" este incompatibilă cu creştinismul. Booon, mai rar vezi asemenea confirmări venite chiar din partea lor."

Păi, da, sînt complet incompatibile. Asa e! A zis-o și Ezra Pound: ”Democracy is now currently defined in Europe as a 'country run by Jews,'”. A mai zis el multe, că vedea bine și îi funcționa creierul. De exemplu asta: ”America is a lunatic asylum.” (vezi https://is.gd/lhmhwC )

Ioniță e un mercenar complet amoral. Ar face orice pentru niște bani. Și la fel ca el sînt toți lacheii lui Soros, propaganda anti-creștin-ortodoxă la foc automat fiind una dintre primele lor îndatoriri.

Dar de unde ura asta isterică și istorică a evreilor față de creștinii ortodocși?

Povestea urii e veche și e bine ca românii să afle adevărul, fiindcă istoria le-a fost ascunsă prin aceleași metode prin care, de vreo 50 de ani, copiilor americanilor le este ascunsă istoria strămoșilor lor:

"
Throughout the history of Byzantium, as it was known, by imperial edict, no Jew was allowed to hold any post in the Empire, nor was he allowed to educate the young. The Byzantine Empire finally fell to the Turks after twelve centuries of prosperity, and the Jews have attempted to wipe out all traces of its history.

Yet its edicts against the Jews were not cruel; in fact, the Jews lived unmolested and prosperously in the empire throughout its history, but here alone the vicious cycle of host and parasite did not take place. It was a Christian civilization, and the Jews were not able to exercise any influence. Nor did the Orthodox priests bewilder their congregations with any vicious lies about Christ being a Jew. No wonder the Jews want to eradicate the memory of such a culture. It was Ezra Pound who launched upon a study of Byzantine civilization, and who reminded the world of this happily non-Jewish land. From the Byzantines, Pound derived his no-violent formula for controlling the Jews. “The answer to the Jewish problem is simple,” he said. “Keep them out of banking, out of education, out of government.”

Au venit acolo şi din Spania, alungaţi după Reconquista, fiind "exasperanţi". Nu m-aş mira ca "fanarioţii" să fi avut ceva comun cu #quasarii.

Mulţumesc şi pentru acest mesaj (privat). Ca şi pentru cel ceva mai vechi, "citat" în cel de acum.

Am salvat textele şi linkurile, dar "cam atât". O să şi încerc ce-i trecut acolo, parţial chiar o făcusem deja. Voi continua.

Mulţumesc mult!


Citate din gândirea profundă a europeiştilor RO

Adrian Papahagi, 2012: "Nu mă voi ascunde după deget: suplimentul FCD este într-adevăr un manifest, fiindcă socotim că Uniunea Europeană este un proiect neterminat și că doar desăvârșindu-l, creând adică Statele Unite ale Europei, putem să evităm perspectiva deloc încântătoare de a deveni un vulgar apendice al Asiei, un muzeu al civilizațiilor sau o simplă piață de desfacere pentru economiile emergente. Înainte de toate, doream să subliniez, prin contrast cu îngustimea identităților naționale, care sunt niște constructe relativ recente, larghețea identității europene și universalitatea celei creștine. Creștinismul transcende națiile, cu tot tribalismul și triumfalismul lor războinic".
