| This Civil War |

| [SultanKnish] This is a civil war. There aren’t any soldiers marching on Charleston... or Myrtle Beach. Nobody’s getting shot in the streets. Except in Chicago... and Baltimore, Detroit and Washington D.C. But that’s not a civil war. It’s just what happens when Democrats run a city into the ground. ...But it’s not guns that make a civil war. It’s politics. Guns are how a civil war ends. Politics is how it begins. ...The shadow government is an ideological network. These days it calls itself by a hashtag #Resistance. Under any name, it runs the country. Most of the time we don’t realize that. When things are normal, when there’s a Democrat in the White House or a bunch of Democrats in Congress, it’s business as usual. Even with most Republican presidents, you didn’t notice anything too out of the ordinary. Sure, the Democrats got their way most of the time. But that’s how the game is usually played. It’s only when someone came on the scene who didn’t play the game by the same rules, that the network exposed itself. The shadow government emerged out of hiding and came for Trump. ...This is a war over who runs the country. Do the people who vote run the country or does this network that can lose an election, but still get its agenda through, run the country? We’ve been having this fight for a while. But this century things have escalated. They escalated a whole lot after Trump’s win because the network isn’t pretending anymore. It sees the opportunity to delegitimize the whole idea of elections. ...America was founded on getting away from professional government. The British monarchy was a professional government. Like all professional governments, it was hereditary. Professional classes eventually decide to pass down their privileges to their kids. America was different. We had a volunteer government. That’s what the Founding Fathers built. This is a civil war between volunteer governments elected by the people and professional governments elected by... well... uh... themselves. Of the establishment, by the establishment and for the establishment. You know, the people who always say they know better, no matter how many times they screw up, because they’re the professionals. They’ve been in Washington D.C. politics since they were in diapers. ...We’re in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and leftist professional government. The pros have made it clear that they’re not going to accept election results anymore. They’re just going to make us do whatever they want. They’re in charge and we better do what they say. That’s the war we’re in. And it’s important that we understand that. Because this isn’t a shooting war yet. And I don’t want to see it become one. ...What we have in America is a representative government. A representative government makes freedom possible because it actually represents people, instead of representing ideas. The left’s identity politics only represents ideas. Nobody gets to vote on them. Except with a gun |
