    To put Trump in the proper context just look at the article Far-right leaders meet to discuss ‘free Europe’ vision.

    The end of globalism and US total global dominance both military and monetary/financial was always fated to be followed by governments here and in Europe of the far right. I never envisioned the turn would come before some financial crisis. Which is why I have been cringing for months about the enthusiasm for Trump which has swept through the alt economic world.

    Let me stipulate that Trump is going to be a total supporter of the bankers levering up again and all that goes with it and believes fully that growth will return with a vengeance with just the application of proper policies. Ultimately, economically, he will govern with neoliberal principals. Which makes the enthusiasm for him in these forums all the more puzzling.

    Also the application of state police power against their political foes is going to skyrocket. A thing in itself which portends the very end of democracy.Yes the snowflakes, that disgusting term for today’s ‘Progressives’ that was born by avowed neo Nazi’s’ are oft time ridiculous and perhaps deserve some measure of contempt but not your hatred.

    There is an older establishment in America, the one that hated Roosevelt as a crypto Jew or Jew lover a socialist, and who supported European fascism until it went to far, so to speak and that establishment never disappeared but found new areas of emphasis as modern ‘Conservatism’ of the populist variety emerged. That establishment is now in charge. Trump, mostly unwittingly, is their agent. Trump may break the shackels of the neo conservative establishment but don’t imagine that in any possible way this is going to lead to freedom for citizens, individuals. The rearranged establishments are I maintain not to be just, meet the new boss same as the old boss, but in may ways worse.

    Paul Craig Roberts is an empty name calling alt-right mouth peice. Where does he get ” the $50 per hour paid protesters” from? What a laugh. The people out in the streets today are all the people from the middle-of-the-road to all the Bernie supporters who donated large numbers of small donations to make Bernie’s ideas be discussed. People want change, but only big money can win.

    The demonstrations today will show what strength the opposition to Trump has and the base for the regaining of Congress in 2 years. This is just the starting gun on the race to replace Trumpism. Local state and city candidates will follow where the numbers point them to remove the alt-right from offices.

    What is the establishment?

    What is a conservative?

    Who is in the alt-right?

    It seems like these terms are thrown around so loosely nowadays, it is difficult to know what they mean.
