[Peace-discuss] The Angry Arab sez

[Carl G. Estabrook]

"It’s official: Donald Trump is the 45th president of the United States. But far more concerning than the inauguration of this authoritarian charlatan, this pussy-grabber-in-chief, is the hysterical response to him. From congressmen to celebs to the CIA, all corners of the elite are in open revolt against democracy. The smearing of ‘low-information’ voters, the whisper campaigns about Russian meddling and the refusal of the great and good to accept Trump as a ‘legitimate’ president reveal an elite contemptuous of the masses for the free choice they made at the ballot box. That’s a far bigger threat to democracy than the potential excesses of President Trump. And all true democrats must take up arms against it.” [spiked-online.com <http://spiked-online.com/>]

And the reason for it is the overriding necessity for the Democrats/neocons/‘deep state’ to keep Obama’s vicious war-making going and their fear that Trump may interfere with it.

I thought their bias against Trump would change after the transition, but it has not.  You may say: but isn't bias warranted? Bias against Trump is warranted if there was such a bias against Obama and Bush. But the bias is not what some of us wish to have: it is basically a protest by the establishment against the arrival of someone from outside the establishment.  I mean, could Weekly Standard's anger against Trump be well-intentioned and well-motivated?
