They're Getting Scared

In its increasingly frantic opposition to Trump, the Republican establishment has shown that its long-running mantra of "winning elections" is false. Here they have a candidate who is wildly popular and possesses the clout to win a general election, yet they are pulling out all the stops to destroy him. They are channeling massive resources to the marionette Marco Rubio. They are dusting off Mitt Romney. They are attempting guilt by association through a transparent endorsement by David Duke. And they are poised to sabotage the convention.

Why? Because the real agenda is, and always has been, for the overall establishment -- Republican and Democrat -- to enhance its own power and continue gutting America's ethnic core so as to usher in a transnationalist utopia with no borders and no obstacles to universal government. Trump has declared war on that agenda, so they must declare war on him.

The present election asks not what sort of nation will America be, rather will it be a nation at all. From the perspective of Trump supporters, it is enough that he promises to preserve the nation even if they disagree with anything and everything else he says. This makes sense because all other questions pale in comparison to the primary one of national survival.

For my part, I will not join the Trump train because America was never meant to be a nation, but rather a federation, and an American Otto von Bismarck is not something I can support (and that's even assuming Trump is being 100% honest). The best guarantor of liberty is to have a multitude of competing sovereignties, for all governments grow as evil and rapacious as possible. Internal limitations never last -- as shown by the disconnect between the Constitution and the mendacious, grotesque body of precedent "interpreting" it out of existence -- so external limitations are the only option. A new cluster of American republics with their own priorities would remove a giant weight from our lives and from the rest of the world, creating a new birth of freedom. No IRS chasing us around the globe. No Federal Reserve dictating interest rates and penalizing the frugal to reward the profligate. No judicial vetoes of every assertion of local sovereignty under the guise of the 14th Amendment. No piercing of bank secrecy. No global military-industrial complex. The list goes on and on.

Oddly enough, perhaps the best thing that can happen is for Trump to be sabotaged in spectacular fashion. After having garnered so much fanatical support, his railroading might be the only thing to convince middle America that, indeed, a revolution "within the form" is impossible.
