Something! must be done.
In the wake of the BREXIT vote where the great unwashed rose as one and stuck their thumb in the eye of the globalists America needed to be sure that such a thing would not happen here. What's the point of ruling after all if you can't have a ruling class?
After all, ruling classes are above the law, in fact, they have no law to follow. That said they do their level best to ensure that all of the non-ruling class members suffer equally under the law. Choosing to regulate as if everyone is a dishonest lawbreaker, and not just punishing the dishonest lawbreaker.
In fact, quite often, the goal of the ruling class is to take large sums of money from those who circumvent the rules and let them skate free. We used to make fun of countries such as this in America by calling them Banana Republics, a derisive term that is now turned inward on the former "greatest country in the world". I wonder if they're all sitting back having a chuckle at our expense?
The Media, always in for a little authoritarianism and strong-man sucking up, has gone whole hog in defending the Anointed One with some of the dimmer lights (such as Sally Kohn) suggesting that it's "unreasonable" to suggest Hillary did "anything wrong at all". It's an amazing bit of mental gymnastics that takes place in for-profit companies who present themselves as the guardians of the public trust and who are desperately trying to not get on the bad side of the new American Monarchy.
In his, reliably solid, piece today, Kevin D. Williamson of National Review makes the case that there is good news. Namely that Americans will use this election, and the rule of the Anointed One after that, to come to a grand conclusion that they don't really need the government, and that it really doesn't matter to their lives.
While I believe this is true, to a certain extent, I also believe that the best thing to do in order to survive in the current political environment is to stay off the government's radar. In fact, I believe that either staying unnoticed or political patronage are pretty much the only two paths forward for American business owners now.
If you get on the bad side of the tin pots, they will regulate you into oblivion,.
We are now, more than likely, going to see at least 4 years of a Hillary Clinton Presidency. They say that the best person for the job of President is someone who doesn't want the job because they understand the responsibility it contains.
Hillary Clinton wants, and has wanted for a long time now, to be President in a very bad way.
That should tell us all we need to know about her, but it won't. And even if we did most people would ignore it.
Because handouts or something.
We are on the verge of electing the most incompetent, corrupt, vindictive President in history (no matter who wins) and there's nothing you or I can do about it.
God save the Queen.
