Eerier similarities starting to take hold. We're targeted, terminated, shunned, branded, cut out from the public square
Wow, what a bunch of total cowards, just like their leader. Targeted? For what, being totally stupid. I thought those MAGA hats were badges of honor, proudly worn by the Trump supporters. I guess you now realize what total fools you all were. Terminated? Yeah, if your stupid ass participated in that attempt at overthrowing the government, YOUR FIRED. I mean, like who didn't see that coming? Shunned? How the hell would you know. You Trump supporters stick together. You only read news sources, well, if you could call them news sources, that support your point of view. Most of you spend an inordinate time on Facebook and will quickly "unfriend" someone that would dare say something negative about the great orange one. Your social circle is devoid of any diversity, all white, all uneducated, all blind supporters of the idiot in chief. Hell, you probably were glad that Thanksgiving dinner was cancelled so you would not have to interact with "non-believers". If anyone is doing the shunning it is you flippin morons.
You Trumpsters claim to be all about "the founders". One of them, Alexander Hamilton, accurately predicted this whole Trump bullshit 220 years before it happened.
The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion. Tired at length of anarchy, or want of government, they may take shelter in the arms of monarchy for repose and security.
Those then, who resist a confirmation of public order, are the true Artificers of monarchy—not that this is the intention of the generality47 of them. Yet it would not be difficult to lay the finger upon some of their party who may justly be suspected. When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may “ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.”
It has aptly been observed that Cato was the Tory-Cæsar the whig of his day. The former frequently resisted—the latter always flattered the follies of the people. Yet the former perished with the Republic the latter destroyed it.
No popular Government was ever without its Catalines & its Cæsars. These are its true enemies.

Wow, so impressive. Let's examine Hamilton's words.
that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is,
The only path. And it is really simple. A wealthy man will never, ever, instigate a "revolution" for democracy. I would quote Henry George here but paraphrasing, why would the wealthy revolt against a system that ensures their continued wealth. The wealthy purchase their "democracy". But back to Hamiliton,
by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion.
Hello, that right there is EXACTLY what Trump has done for four years. Flattering the prejudices of the people, yeah, they were some good people on both sides at Charlottesville. The Proud Boys, stand ready
, they have hidden their racism behind the praise of the president. Excited their jealousies and apprehensions. Jealous of Obamaphones, health care, even food stamps. I mean that one always got me, jealous of someone on food stamps purchasing steaks. Apprehensions--hell, look right in this thread, the poor misunderstood Trump supporter now likens himself to the Jews of Hitler's Germany. Hell, that would be comical as hell if it wasn't serious. As it is, it is just sad.
Now Hamilton kind of nailed Trump, unprincipled in private life, despotic in his demeanour, and in a latter Federalist paper Hamiliton provides an even better description of Trump as he returns to this theme. But lets just skip to
to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day—
I mean who knew Hamilton knew all about Q? Guess child sacrificing demoncrats controlled the government even in Hamilton's time. I mean I actually love "flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots". Trump has done just that, his followers, with no actual will or mind of their own, dutifully follow alone. I mean Hamilton is calling you out, warning you, still, after being shot by the one person who may very well have been the closest to Trump in American history more than two centuries ago, he is still "fighting" to protect the American union.
