Here is my message to Donald Trump

As someone who didn't vote for you but is from the region chiefly responsible for your victory (Racine Wisconsin to be specific) my message is this.

If you are only going to keep only one of your campaign promises.  It better be ending the Free Trade Agreements, like NAFTA and CAFTA and the TPP, and stuff directly related to that.  Your strong turn out in Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota was chiefly because of people who voted for Bernie in the Primary (I voted for Bernie) and you in the general because they voted chiefly on that issue.  Because we are the most hurt the ramifications of those agreements.

They don't care if you build the Wall or even necessarily want that.  Or about your Muslim Ban, or defeating ISIS.  And certainly not any of the typical Republican positions you espoused.

I was unwilling to vote for because I didn't trust you on this, given how your businesses have themselves benefited from those agreements.  And because I was offended by the Xenophobia you appealed to.

IF however you actually do keep this promise, and the fears Mexicans and Muslims have of your turns out to be unfounded.  You might, just maybe might win my vote for 2020.

But if not, you don't keep that promise, you will lose the people who chiefly gave this victory and have no hope of reelection.

The second promise I personally care about (in the sense of would like you to keep it) is legalizing Marijuana.  But for that I see no evidence many people voted on that.

We're seeing the Hegelian Dialectic in action

There is no doubt in my mind this Orlando shooting was staged, now that I see how it's all playing out.

In this case though it's not a standard Thesis-Antithesis, but rather more Demthesis (Democrat agenda) and Repubhesis (Republican agenda).

Demthesis: Ban guns, or at least require background checks, and maybe throw Hate-Crime legislation in there.

Repubthesis: Ban Muslims, be afraid of Muslims, spy on the Mosques, build a wall, turn away refugees, wage war in the middle east, increase military spending and the Patriot act.

Synthesis: Ban people on the Terror Watch list from buying Guns.

It didn't take long at all for the Dems to make that their starting point.  And now Trump is calling for it saying he's gonna sit down with the NRA on it.  And we got Fox News Pundits saying it's "Common Sense".

Don't forget thanks to the Patriot Act and everything passed after 9/11 how insanely easy it is to get put on the watch list.  You don't have to be a Muslim, plenty of White-Male-Christians have gotten on there for being Anti-Authoritarian.  But if you are a Muslim, good luck staying off it, I'll bet you are on it and don't even know it.

Basically this "compromise" will effectively kill the Second Amendment, the Dems won't need anything else they are calling for.  And the Islamophobes won't need anything else either once they've used this to disarm every Muslim.

This was the real goal all along, don't be fooled, we need to fight this tooth and nail.  Remember the first Gun Law in this country was supported by the NRA and was a law banning the newly freed slaved from owning guns.  So it's not the first time bigotry has factored into restricting gun rights.

Alex Jones has lost it supporting Trump

I should have said this much sooner, not that what I say matters.

But I stuck by Alex Jones long after the trend of calling him a shill started.  

I used bet my own credibility on IMDB boards on him to an extent, saying yes I know on the Radio he gets speculation and exaggerates but the actual articles on his site and material in his documentaries are based entirely on they admit.

But when I heard him come in favor of Trump I just couldn't believe it, how could someone who knows the game as well as he does be so easily suckered in.  Who opposed Islamophobia all through the Bush years suddenly be all on board with it.

I'm Nostalgic for listening to his Radio show during the Ron Paul campaigns.  So I emotionally don't want to believe he'd been a shill this whole time.  But I see no other explanation then he's just simply lost his mind.

That alarm bell helped make me more open to what Terry Melanson said here.

I'm still stewing on this.
