As I’ve been having conversations the past few weeks regarding the upcoming Presidential nominating and election cycle, I’ve been struck by how many people truly feel that the country is about to hit the shits if Donald J Trump is elected President of the United States. The second thing that I’ve realized is that many people are sounding the alarm that the country may be silently supporting Trump while outwardly promoting outrage.

One of my co-workers I spoke with today echoed that exact sentiment. She seemed to indicate that because of the massive amount of support Trump is receiving all across America, more people are really supporting him than what they want to admit to. I also want to submit something that many don’t want to accept or may not cop to.. the Establishment Wing of both parties are really smiling right now. Don’t believe me, lets explore.

Donald Trump is a modern day mainstream Republican if I ever saw one. Have you heard his speeches? He wants to send troops to foreign countries to war, he wants to reinstitute enhanced interrogation tactics, he wants to repeal Obamacare, he wants to double down on gun rights, he will continue tax breaks for rich people, he wants to decentralize the Federal Governments power, he wants to deport all the illegal immigrants and strip federal dollars for Planned Parenthood. These are just the stances he’s taken publically that I’m talking about. Does it sound familiar? It should.. It’s Republican 101 talking points for the past 16 years.

Hillary Clinton is right out of the Democratic Establishment Wing. I mean her husband is a former President, she is the former Secretary of State and Senator from New York. She was the first lady who tried to push Universal Healthcare in 1994. She has been apart of politics for more than two decades. She is what the Democrats look at as the polished candidate. And we as a nation have been led to believe that we are experiencing some sort of revolution. Ha! I wish that were true, but the truth is the leading candidates in both parties are as Established as you can get.

America the media has fucked you again and you didn’t even notice. I’m happy to see voter turnout is high, but I hate that we have such old, stale candidates leading these parties. More to come as we head to election day.
