<p>In part one, I dealt with the Trump supporters as one of the three forces that keep former President Trump in the center of the political galaxy – and at the top of the news virtually every day. ; This leaves the role played by those on the left who have a visceral and obsessive hate for Trump … and later in Part Three, Trump himself. ; In Part Two, I deal with the Trump haters and their role and reason for keeping Trump as the biggest political news story every day.</p>



<p><strong>The Trump haters – Democrats, the media and Republican (conservative) apostates</strong></p>



<p>No group in America has been more responsible for the power and evergreen presence of Trump at the center of all things political than those who hate him – and his policies. ; They see it as self-interest.</p>



<p>Naturally, the Democratic Party is at the core of that opposition. ; Their role is to defeat Republicans in every election. ; But it is the change in the Democratic Party – from center-left to radical left – and the depth of their obsessive hatred of Trump that makes today’s politics unique in modern times. ; ;</p>



<p>From the time of Trump’s upset victory in 2016, Democrat leaders have been obsessed with destroying Trump politically and personally – and in their crazed obsession, they have expanded their irrational hatred across the Republican landscape with incessant broad-brush attacks.</p>



<p>While the American media is generally thought of as a balancing agent – a political governor on the excesses of the political fringes – today’s media has joined in common cause with the radical progressives. ; They now serve as the endorser, communicator and amplifier of the Democrats’ political obsessions – kicking to the side all devotion to journalistic ethics, standards and norms. ; The media is a key element in the Trump-hating political force.</p>



<p>Major figures in the Fourth Estate no longer offer even a pretense of fairness and objectivity. ; One major media personality after another on MSNBC and CNN calls for the end of balance and objectivity. ; It is now their corrupt mission to “crush” the GOP, as the Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson often states. ; For them, the American public deserves only one narrow interpretation of events – their interpretation. ; Other views are deemed to be dangerous and must be censored and cancelled. ; In their arrogant and dangerous view, only the radical left has a right to influence public opinion.</p>



<p>In the Trump-hating category – and by extension Republican/conservative hating – are those who were once dedicated and principled conservative Republicans. ; They say that their abandonment of their long publicly-held political and philosophic principles was due to Trump – just Trump. ; But like the Democrats and the media, the Trump-hatred of the GOP apostates has spread to opposition to the generic Republican Party.</p>



<p>Even as they now essentially support Democrats and the hardcore left agenda across-the-board, many one-time Republicans claim to have retained their conservative Republican values. ; Folks like MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough left the GOP because of Trump, but claims to still be a conservative. ; Actually, he drifted far from his conservative days in Congress long before Trump. ; He seems to have lost them after moving to New York and being taken to progressive obedience school by his professional and personal partner Mika Brzezinski. ;</p>



<p>The apostasy of folks like Bill Kristol, Michael Steele, George Conway, David Jolly, Joe Walsh &#8212; and the others now making their fortunes as contributors, analysts and hosts on the most extreme left-wing platforms &#8212; was not just an anti-Trump reaction. ; Through such false-flag operations as the Lincoln Project and <em>The Bulwark</em> media platform, this group evolved into a left-wing progressive subsidiary of the Democratic Party &#8212; working against all that is Republican and conservative.</p>



<p>Because the cabal of Trump-haters believe that demonizing Trump to the max – and by extension, all that is Republican – they will scare the public into their confining ideological corral. It is a massive fearmonger strategy – and central to that strategy is to keep Trump in the news every day, 24/7. Keep him in the news solely so they can vilify him – and the GOP by extension. Vote Democrat, they say, or the American Republican will fall – democracy will be lost. </p>



<p>Their Draconian narrative places Trump at the head of an expansive ongoing insurrection … coup … against American Democracy. ; They believe they need Trump as the personification of a corrupt and evil Republican Party. ; He, according to MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, is the “ringleader.” ; Vote Democrat, they say, or the American Republican will fall – democracy will be lost. ; It is a strategy of desperation and so far, it appears to be failing.</p>



<p>Having covered two of the three forces that keep Trump at the center of the political galaxy – his supporters and his haters, Part Three will turn to the third force – Trump, himself.</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Getting it straight on Trump — Part Two
