Trump the exorcist
From the start the Trump litmus has worked in a remarkable way on the Deep State. Enforcers of orthodoxy, accustomed to ruling without opposition, accustomed to living in a perfect structure of lies, have been unable to stop Trump by the usual insinuations. Their normal reversed sentences have no effect. So they start vomiting imprecations, spinning their evil heads at gyroscope speed and spraying green toxin across the landscape.
Latest puker is Brooks. I'm sort of surprised; until now Brooks had seemed capable of observing a limited slice of reality. As in Usher Syndrome, his vision was blocked except for a few degrees at the periphery. Once in a while he was able to observe and describe a truth outside of Deepstate World.
Even in the middle of this LP puke-anthem, Brooks emits a scrap of truth.... but this time the truth is reversed, used as a lie.
[Trump] has already shredded the unspoken rules of political civility that make conversation possible. In his savage regime, public life is just a dog-eat-dog war of all against all.
Clever. Civility of behavior, enforced by custom, does make it possible to discuss a range of ideas. Unfortunately we no longer live in a world where civility exists. We are in Savage Regime. Trump didn't create and impose Savage Regime. You did. Alinsky defeated civility a long time ago. Unorthodox ideas are instantly shouted down by all sides, INCLUDING BROOKS, as Brooks demonstrates in this column. So invoking civility is just a sneaky trap.
It won't work. Trump doesn't give a fuck. He is not locked into the normal rules of careerism. He enjoys saying true things and watching the gyroscopes respond.
