TO PROGRESSIVES:
I'd just like you to consider one fact: some people who you and your comrades have really liked and admired – people who are sociopolitically super-awake and -aware, who fight the Deep State with a level of engagement and commitment that none of us probably ever will – have sided firmly with Trump. From early on in his candidacy until now, a liddle over a year into his presidency, people like Kim Dotcom and Julian Assange have supported him and his efforts to take power away from the dark agencies and programs that work to surveil and control Americans.
When people like the internet's biggest freedom fighter and the world's greatest thrower of light on government's darkest duplicities are telling you something loud and clear, don't you think that maybe you should listen and think about what they're saying, and why they're saying it?
Trump may be against some things that you're for, but here's the bottom line: at the end of his presidency, the American government will be more transparent, more responsive, and more principled than it's been in decades, and we'll be a freer, more prosperous, safer, and yes, quite possibly even prouder people. Yes, we – because you, too, will see the benefits. And if you'll stop parroting and start truly thinking for yourself, you'll realize that what we're saying about the Deep State IS true and it IS the enemy of ALL of us, and Donald Trump is literally risking his life to bring it down. The last President to do this was John F. Kennedy.
All I'm asking of you is that you realize that people like Kim Dotcom and Julian Assange understand the stakes, and that you look into what they know that you don't.
