Sky Views: For all his flaws, Trump makes some powerful points
I found this interesting....more a commentary on modern politics than anything else...and for me certainly rings true
"Ed Conway, Economics Editor
Donald Trump has already won this election. Sure, if the polls are to be believed, he may not be elected president tomorrow. But the phenomenon he represents isn't going away. It is a phenomenon that can no longer be ignored.
Whatever the result, politics - both in the US and elsewhere around the developed world - will surely have to change forever.
If that change does not come, we can only expect more disaffection, more chaos and more unhappiness in the years to come.
Why? In large part, because Mr Trump has a point.
Donald Trump was nominated in spite of his well-established faults, in spite of the distaste so many Republicans have for him. It emphasises how powerful some of the points he is making are.
He has a point that politics has become too dominated by vested interests, by lobbyists, by cynical, professional politicians.
He has a point that, for years, the spoils of economic growth have been shared too narrowly.
He has a point that many blue-collar workers have been treated unfairly; that they lost their jobs through no fault of their own.
He has a point that low interest rates and quantitative easing, or for that matter free trade, have benefited too few.
In many ways - his misogyny, his deceit, his bullying, his racism - Mr Trump is the most repulsive White House candidate in living memory.
But that rather underlines my point: he was nominated in spite of his well-established faults, in spite of the distaste so many Republicans have for him.
It emphasises how powerful some of the points he is making are.
Over the course of decades, politicians - on both sides of the Atlantic - have forgotten who they are supposed to represent. In truth this was more cock-up than conspiracy, more down to ignorance than intent. "

There's nothing new there. It's the same old RW minimal government = good government, dressed up in new clothes. Saying that Washington should oust the slick insiders is the same as saying no one should be minding the store. It's just a revamped, extreme laissez-faire political philosophy.
Laissez-faire politics, like laissez-faire economics, inevitably reduces to monopoly. Been there/done that.
What Trump really represents is the passing of the guard, from old white men, with their sexist, racist--Barack Obama followed by a Hillary Clinton, OMG--can't let go, to a young, more tolerant generation. What is it that Trump says? Make American Great Again...don't be stupid, we all know what that means in Trump's back rooms: No nighas, Jews, wimmen or wetbacks.

Donald Trump is one of the worst offenders among those he criticizes. He's nothing new or refreshing...he's more familiar with smoke filled back rooms that any politician. Plezzze...don't try to sell Trump as an angel.
We fight corruption, just like we fight Donald Trump. Lies and corruption come from the right. Iraq war? Lower taxes = another depression, comes from the right! We keep policing the edges, and watching the RW'rs. Look at the magnificent job done by Obama. We continue at it.

How does reading the article as a WHOLE differ from reading it paragraph by paragraph? He make the same points, either way. The whole exercise is vacuous.
If I thought you, or anyone, was really serious about where the themes of international politics and economics are going, I would point you to the following article:
The Nation wrote: Inverted Totalitarianism
How the Bush regime is effecting the transformation to a fascist-like state.
By Sheldon Wolin
The war on Iraq has so monopolized public attention as to obscure the regime change taking place in the Homeland. We may have invaded Iraq to bring in democracy and bring down a totalitarian regime, but in the process our own system may be moving closer to the latter and further weakening the former. The change has been intimated by the sudden popularity of two political terms rarely applied earlier to the American political system. “Empire” and “superpower” both suggest that a new system of power, concentrated and expansive, has come into existence and supplanted the old terms. “Empire” and “superpower” accurately symbolize the projection of American power abroad, but for that reason they obscure the internal consequences. Consider how odd it would sound if we were to refer to “the Constitution of the American Empire” or “superpower democracy.” The reason they ring false is that “constitution” signifies limitations on power, while “democracy” commonly refers to the active involvement of citizens with their government and the responsiveness of government to its citizens. For their part, “empire” and “superpower” stand for the surpassing of limits and the dwarfing of the citizenry.
The increasing power of the state and the declining power of institutions intended to control it has been in the making for some time. The party system is a notorious example. The Republicans have emerged as a unique phenomenon in American history of a fervently doctrinal party, zealous, ruthless, antidemocratic and boasting a near majority. As Republicans have become more ideologically intolerant, the Democrats have shrugged off the liberal label and their critical reform-minded constituencies to embrace centrism and footnote the end of ideology. In ceasing to be a genuine opposition party the Democrats have smoothed the road to power of a party more than eager to use it to promote empire abroad and corporate power at home. Bear in mind that a ruthless, ideologically driven party with a mass base was a crucial element in all of the twentieth-century regimes seeking total power.
Representative institutions no longer represent voters. Instead, they have been short-circuited, steadily corrupted by an institutionalized system of bribery that renders them responsive to powerful interest groups whose constituencies are the major corporations and wealthiest Americans. The courts, in turn, when they are not increasingly handmaidens of corporate power, are consistently deferential to the claims of national security. Elections have become heavily subsidized non-events that typically attract at best merely half of an electorate whose information about foreign and domestic politics is filtered through corporate-dominated media. Citizens are manipulated into a nervous state by the media’s reports of rampant crime and terrorist networks, by thinly veiled threats of the Attorney General and by their own fears about unemployment. What is crucially important here is not only the expansion of governmental power but the inevitable discrediting of constitutional limitations and institutional processes that discourages the citizenry and leaves them politically apathetic.
No doubt these remarks will be dismissed by some as alarmist, but I want to go further and name the emergent political system “inverted totalitarianism.” By inverted I mean that while the current system and its operatives share with Nazism the aspiration toward unlimited power and aggressive expansionism, their methods and actions seem upside down. For example, in Weimar Germany, before the Nazis took power, the “streets” were dominated by totalitarian-oriented gangs of toughs, and whatever there was of democracy was confined to the government. In the United States, however, it is the streets where democracy is most alive–while the real danger lies with an increasingly unbridled government.
Or another example of the inversion: Under Nazi rule there was never any doubt about “big business” being subordinated to the political regime. In the United States, however, it has been apparent for decades that corporate power has become so predominant in the political establishment, particularly in the Republican Party, and so dominant in its influence over policy, as to suggest a role inversion the exact opposite of the Nazis’. At the same time, it is corporate power, as the representative of the dynamic of capitalism and of the ever-expanding power made available by the integration of science and technology with the structure of capitalism, that produces the totalizing drive that, under the Nazis, was supplied by ideological notions such as Lebensraum.
In rebuttal it will be said that there is no domestic equivalent to the Nazi regime of torture, concentration camps or other instruments of terror. But we should remember that for the most part, Nazi terror was not applied to the population generally; rather, the aim was to promote a certain type of shadowy fear–rumors of torture–that would aid in managing and manipulating the populace. Stated positively, the Nazis wanted a mobilized society eager to support endless warfare, expansion and sacrifice for the nation.
While the Nazi totalitarianism strove to give the masses a sense of collective power and strength, Kraft durch Freude (“Strength through joy”), inverted totalitarianism promotes a sense of weakness, of collective futility. While the Nazis wanted a continuously mobilized society that would not only support the regime without complaint and enthusiastically vote “yes” at the periodic plebiscites, inverted totalitarianism wants a politically demobilized society that hardly votes at all. Recall the President’s words immediately after the horrendous events of September 11: “Unite, consume and fly,” he told the anxious citizenry. Having assimilated terrorism to a “war,” he avoided doing what democratic leaders customarily do during wartime: mobilize the citizenry, warn it of impending sacrifices and exhort all citizens to join the “war effort.” Instead, inverted totalitarianism has its own means of promoting generalized fear; not only by sudden “alerts” and periodic announcements about recently discovered terrorist cells or the arrest of shadowy figures or the publicized heavy-handed treatment of aliens and the Devil’s Island that is Guantánamo Bay or the sudden fascination with interrogation methods that employ or border on torture, but by a pervasive atmosphere of fear abetted by a corporate economy of ruthless downsizing, withdrawal or reduction of pension and health benefits; a corporate political system that relentlessly threatens to privatize Social Security and the modest health benefits available, especially to the poor. With such instrumentalities for promoting uncertainty and dependence, it is almost overkill for inverted totalitarianism to employ a system of criminal justice that is punitive in the extreme, relishes the death penalty and is consistently biased against the powerless.
Thus the elements are in place: a weak legislative body, a legal system that is both compliant and repressive, a party system in which one party, whether in opposition or in the majority, is bent upon reconstituting the existing system so as to permanently favor a ruling class of the wealthy, the well-connected and the corporate, while leaving the poorer citizens with a sense of helplessness and political despair, and, at the same time, keeping the middle classes dangling between fear of unemployment and expectations of fantastic rewards once the new economy recovers. That scheme is abetted by a sycophantic and increasingly concentrated media; by the integration of universities with their corporate benefactors; by a propaganda machine institutionalized in well-funded think tanks and conservative foundations; by the increasingly closer cooperation between local police and national law enforcement agencies aimed at identifying terrorists, suspicious aliens and domestic dissidents.
What is at stake, then, is nothing less than the attempted transformation of a tolerably free society into a variant of the extreme regimes of the past century. In that context, the national elections of 2004 represent a crisis in its original meaning, a turning point. The question for citizens is: Which way?

DO THE MATHS, though -- some 60% of the Repub's don't like Trump...
However, using good ol' "divide and conquer " tactics, that 40% or so 'schism' within the GOP still managed to knock off their competition one-by-one, getting their man up as the Republican candidate..
ALSO, around 60% of Americans,don't want a Repub' president.
With voting being non-compulsory over there, though, a few of those may well not be bothering to vote..
IF Trump does manage to squeek through and steal the election, that would mean that he only has the support of roughly 40% of around 40% of those voters -- or roughly only 16% of potential American voters !
CLINTON should win -- and it will be much, much better for Britain, Oz, and the world in general that she does -- but even then, she only has genuine support of around 60% of 60% of those voters, maybe 36% plus..
Those that carry Hillary over the line, will likely be those that consider her "the lesser of two evils" ???
IF the Dumpster does win the election, than both the USA and the Republican Party will be in big, big trouble..

Re: Sky Views: For all his flaws, Trump makes some powerful points
Ben Reilly wrote:Here's what I want to know, though -- are they listening for the reasons listed in the OP, or are they listening because of the bigoted stuff he says?
Ok, let’s go through them and I’ll make the case, one-by-one, as to either there is nothing new to those points, or Donald Trump has no interest in fixing them.
Conway wrote:He has a point that politics has become too dominated by vested interests, by lobbyists, by cynical, professional politicians.
In a fairly balanced system, lobbyists are actually a help. If they are established, they have the money and resources to back-stop the arguments of the representatives, either pro or con. But, keep in mind when your Aunt Mildred writes to her congressman, she is lobbying.
What is a perversion of the system is when the representative allows the lobbyist to step into his decision-making shoes, write the legislations, and devise underhanded methods to deceive the public as to what is going on.
So it’s not the lobbyists who are the problem, per se, but the methods that allow deceit to enter into the game. Who does this? Well, who has been in control of Congress? Not the Democrats. Yes, time and time again, you will see that the flaws articulated by disgruntled people are the flaws employed by the elitist Republican Congress.
Conway wrote:He has a point that, for years, the spoils of economic growth have been shared too narrowly.
Those spoils are the result of Republican legislation. In 1999, the Republican Congress, led by Newt Gingrich and the paedophile Dennis Hasart, passed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which forbade regulation of derivatives, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or Financial Services Modernization Act, which eliminated New Deal barriers to mergers of stockbrokers, commercial and investment banks and insurance companies. Combined, these laws had the effect of abolishing all of the significant rules put in place at the time of the Great Depression designed to prevent a repeat. In 2008, we were on the brink of another Great Depression, which the Democrats had to come in and fix.
Concomitant with these get-rich-quick laws for the wealthy, were immense tax breaks…for example, Donald Trump, as wealthy as he his, paid no taxes during this time. Tax breaks have the effect of pouring a nation’s wealth into the pockets of one class, and only one class. Hence, you see today that 1% of the nation controls the wealth of 99% of the world.
You guys: what have I been saying all along? While Democrats represent the interests of the people, Republicans represent special interests. Republicans have been in control of Congress since 1994, except during the period from 2008-2010. Congress writes the laws. Guess what happens?
This article attempts to amortize the blame over all politicians. It's not all politicians, it's RW'rs and Republicans, and we've been saying this for years.
Conway wrote:He has a point that many blue-collar workers have been treated unfairly; that they lost their jobs through no fault of their own.
True. The fault was the Republican Congress, writing tax loop-holes that allow manufacturers to invest overseas and hide money in Swiss and Jamaican/ Cayman islands bank accounts. This has drained not only money, but jobs overseas. Even the ersatz hero, Donald Trump, manufactures his clothing line overseas. Democrats represent the interests of the people, Republicans represent special interests.
Conway wrote:He has a point that low interest rates and quantitative easing, or for that matter free trade, have benefited too few.
And you think Donald – the Overseas King – is going to fix that? Look at his so-called tax plan: big breaks for the rich, small ones for the middle class. Look at his child care plan: tax breaks for child care that only the wealthy can take advantage of—that’s like paying Koreans with Iranian Drachmas…they can’t use it.
Conway wrote:In many ways - his misogyny, his deceit, his bullying, his racism - Mr Trump is the most repulsive White House candidate in living memory.
But that rather underlines my point: he was nominated in spite of his well-established faults, in spite of the distaste so many Republicans have for him.
It emphasises how powerful some of the points he is making are.
That’s like the bank robber arguing: Look how safe I’ve made your banks…you now know where the weaknesses are. Always be suspicious of an argument that tries to sell yourself, to yourself.
Let's speak plain truth. These are not good Americans. They are white-supremacists, motorcycle gangs, and meth dealers. Donald Trump taps into a bad side of the American public, what Hillary called a basket-of-deplorables. They are for the most part, southern racists and xenophobes, who have become politically active because the Republican Party awakened them when a black man was elected president. There is no positive spin you can put on Mr. Pussy-Grabber. You want racist, sexist uglies, move to Paraguay and Argentina, where Nazis go to retire.
Conway wrote:Over the course of decades, politicians - on both sides of the Atlantic - have forgotten who they are supposed to represent. In truth this was more cock-up than conspiracy, more down to ignorance than intent."
Nice sales job, but it doesn’t work. The pains the crazies suffer are not from politicians, but from Republicans. The only fault to be laid at the feet of politicians is to let the crazies in, in the first place. And that’s where McConnell, Boehner and Paul Ryan. But they are only acting consistently with the logic that I’ve spelled out in, Why Elephants Lie.

There's a natural bias in the press, that tries to legitimize any person or trend that falls into the mainstream. It has happened with both Trump and the Trumpsters. The term used for this is, new normal.
The Conway article is such an attempt to normalize the Trumpster movement. But you have to remember that Nazism was once in a position to undergo normalization. It got past, and then look what we had on our hands.
So you have to go jaw-to-jaw with this type of article, and describe its bile, drop by drop. Let it get past scrutiny, and who knows what enemies of civilization you are letting in.
