A thought repeatedly occurs to me with all the outrage I see about almost everything Trump does.
Imagine how these people would respond to a President Ron Paul. Based on some of the relatively minor changes from Trump vs Paul's I can't even imagine how they would respond to a principled liberty focused man that has character.
When you strip away the outrage related to Trump's personality and ego you are left with minor shifts. I mean, yeah when your world view is about as wide as a pencil he's extreme but when you view the whole of political though he's pretty mild.
I can't shake the sense that this is more about defending the elite. The system. The deep state. The status quo. Whatever term you are comfortable with.
I'm not convinced Trump isn't owner by these groups but the reactions to him are more telling than anything he has done.
He's not ideological at all. He's a bull in a china shop. His ability to make stuff happens is what scares these people. I still think these people think they are smarter than they are. They don't get the actual problem.
