Fighting the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

WELCOME TO THE GREAT AMERICAN fun house, where nothing is as it seems. The standard election narrative is that millions of hard working, ordinary, middle class Americans got fed up - fed up with the government, the economy, the establishment, the whole ball of wax, because they realized they are going nowhere, fast. They wanted a change. So, they looked for an outsider, someone different, someone with new and different ideas who would drain the swamp and say the things many Americans feel. Like many a standard narrative, this one is nothing but fecal matter. Instead, let's try this, the truth: There is, as Hillary Clinton said long ago, a vast right wing conspiracy in America, led by a small number of billionaires and their associates, who have spent hundreds of millions of dollars over the past thirty years or so building a massive, ubiquitous infrastructure of media and advocacy organizations to brainwash the American people with right wing dogma, extreme right wing dogma, the kind favored by people such as Charles and David Koch, and to gain control of local, state, and national governments to implement their bizarre, backward agenda. This machine has been seeking to destroy the Clintons, the government social safety net, and liberalism in general for thirty years, and it caught up to Hillary, just in the nick of time. The Tea Party, Fox News Channel, the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, right wing talk radio, the Spectator, are all manifestations of this well oiled and very effective right wing machine, but merely the tip of the iceberg. You see it beautifully manifested in the election of Donald Trump, the people he is appointing to government positions, and the agenda his administration thus far espouses. Outsider, my foot. Drain the swamp, my ass. Fortunately, mainstream America is not as extreme right wing as the American Christian conservative community, and in fact has a strong progressive orientation, as witnessed by Hillary Clinton's huge victory in the popular vote. The fact that the millennial generation is highly progressive is also encouraging for those on the side of sanity. We the people have not yet begun to fight. Trump'll never know what hit him in popular opposition, and just think how sensitive he is to criticism. He aint seen nuthin' yet. Maybe we'll get lucky and avoid millions of women aborting their fetuses in back alleys, and squads of volunteer citizen alt right militia stepping down our city streets, seeking illegal aliens and dope smokers, and handing out guns and Bibles.
