The Trump presidency, spanning from 2016 to 2020, was an undeniably polarizing period for the United States. The political landscape seemed to be split right down the middle with unwavering support on one side and unbridled hatred on the other. The extreme hate directed towards Trump did not go unnoticed by the U.S. government, and the aftermath of his tenure saw a substantial change in the country's direction. This article will explore how the U.S. government has weaponized the extreme hate of Trump to drastically alter the course of its administration and policy decisions.

  1. Capitalizing on public sentiment

The Trump administration faced substantial backlash over various policies and actions, such as the Muslim travel ban, the family separation policy at the border, and the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recognizing the strong public sentiment, the U.S. government, under new leadership, seized the opportunity to use this outrage as a catalyst for change.

As Trump left office, the incoming administration implemented policy reversals in several areas that had been contentious during Trump's term. These reversals were seen as a direct response to the public's dissatisfaction and were often framed as an attempt to rectify the perceived harm done by the previous administration.

  1. The rise of progressive politics

The intense opposition to Trump and his administration's policies resulted in a surge of progressive activism, which has had a substantial influence on the U.S. government's course. The Democratic Party, in particular, shifted further to the left, with progressive leaders like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gaining prominence within the party.

Key issues such as climate change, racial justice, and economic inequality have taken center stage, with the U.S. government embracing ambitious policy proposals like the Green New Deal and comprehensive criminal justice reform. This change in focus has been attributed, in part, to the extreme anti-Trump sentiment that provided momentum to progressive politics.

  1. Social media as a tool

In an era dominated by social media, public opinion and discourse can be easily swayed by carefully crafted narratives. The U.S. government leveraged the widespread anti-Trump sentiment by using social media platforms to emphasize their contrasting stances on key issues.

By promoting policy changes that directly opposed Trump's positions, the U.S. government has been able to garner support from the vocal anti-Trump faction. The constant reinforcement of these contrasting policy directions has been instrumental in driving the government's agenda and retaining public support.

  1. The dangers of polarization

While the U.S. government's use of the extreme hate for Trump has proven effective in pushing through changes, it has also deepened political polarization in the country. By exploiting the existing divide, the government risks creating an environment in which collaboration and compromise become increasingly difficult, which may have lasting repercussions on the nation's political landscape.

Conclusion

The extreme hate towards Trump has undoubtedly played a significant role in the U.S. government's course correction. However, the weaponization of this sentiment has raised concerns about the potential long-term impacts on the nation's political environment. As the country navigates the challenges ahead, it will be crucial for the government and the public to find a balance between addressing past grievances and fostering unity for the greater good.

This is the Chris Abraham show. Hey welcome back. This is Chris Abraham. Chris cast formerly known as but now it's the Chris Abraham show and it's windy here. I don't know if you can hear me, but I am doing this episode season 5 episode 6 from the Walter Reed Community Center Park. And I am right here at the pickleball court. So you might hear pickle bawling in the background. I would love to be a pickle baller and I hope to become a pickleball or this summer.

If not next spring, we'll save maybe this fall. Who knows? Got to get into it. But today's episode is going to be about how when I can't believe how long it's taken me to figure this out, but Trump is Lee are new. And I know this might be so obvious to you guys, but Trump is America's 911.

Trump is America's 911 and like the Patriot Act, it has enabled America to behave extremely badly. Too extreme to act extreme to behave, extremely, fistic, extremely to tell latarian extremely authentic. Authoritarian and even extremely despotically under the guise of by any means necessary, right? And it's the kind of behavior that I don't even know how to deal with because there have are some people that I've idolized my entire life, who have been weaponized and who behaved so badly with the understanding that they are having a type of democratic. Jihad against against what they consider to be.

All those things I just mentioned, they're fighting fascism with fascism. They're fighting despotism with despotism. They're fighting to tell at arianism with the totalitarian ISM. They're fighting identity politics with identity politics. And it is, there's no such thing as a high road.

It's all low road, it's all this understanding that while Jihad exists, and while there are enemies in our own country,

anything is acceptable. As long as the war is won against tyranny, this is a terrible thing that's happening because this has been a conservative playbook for years as well, right? The conservative I guess I don't even know but there's been this idea of the second amendment being a tool to be used in order to fight off tyranny. And there's this idea that Christianity is being victimized and in the same way that there is a strong belief that Jews are being Victimized in America. There's also an increasing belief that Christians are being victimized, and of course, trans people are being victimized in Asian.

People are being victimized and lgbtq people are being victimized and gay people and lesbians are being victimized and women are being victimized and everybody's being victimized Trump in the interview with Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night. Spoke as though he was being victimized both everybody in associated. With the January 6, Insurrection is believes. They're being victimized. The people who were in Congress in their day, believe that they were literally literally killed and assassinated, and hung, and the people who were there, They're believed that they that they were being empowered and just in order to be caught up as victims in a kangaroo court, in a false flag that was manifest and weaponized. Originally, just stay a protest against what was considered to be a Stolen election into being.

If you will a Lynch Mob that literally killed Pence and hung Pence, and killed dozens and hundreds of police officers, who up until that moment were the evil. Part of society are now receiving Medals of Honor by the same people who tend to want to They were be being beatified on one hand when it comes to responding to January 6. And then being demonized on the other in response to Black lives matter and other other Progressive and Democrat Riot. So everything's being weaponized, everything's being counter weaponized and I see Trump, who's going to be amazingly Successful at least when it comes to primaries. Is going to Jin everybody up. And who knows there are?

There are no rules anymore. People are very willing, I believe to. I mean I'm I'm surprised that there and knock on wood, but I'm surprised there haven't been any, you know, any suicide bombings. I'm I'm surprised that there haven't been any bomb vests. I'm surprised that there's been, no.

I mean, obviously the transgender person who killed six people in, In Tennessee last week or so.

I'm pretty sure that has resulted in a sort of de facto martyrdom of the, of the person who the trends person, who entered the school and killed Christian children and teachers. I believe that that is going to be painted as the first martyr Adam against Crystal fascism. So since there's no limit on anything. And since both sides are using the totalitarian authoritarian, And even like both sides are using identity politics. Both sides are using to radical methodologies. Everybody's using various and Sundry CIA books for de stably to stabilizing governments.

Gotta buy those things off of CIA like everybody's using playbooks from the color revolutions domestically. I mean, it's really exciting to watch. The only thing we don't have is we don't have a Frenchman's

intensity, we do not have. There are no Workers in the streets. There are no brawls between ride control cops and, and normal people who, you know, deliver or or teach or any of that kind of thing. So, with that understanding, and that lack of commitment to taking the streets, and, you know, the French have Twitter and the French have Tick-Tock and the French have Facebook, Luffy's book and so forth. There's no excuse.

We can't just say that were, you know, stuck in a world where all we care about is, you know, Tucker Fox News or whatever, like the French have Loop n, right? They have Marine Le Pen. They've got blue pen, the Elder. So, I mean, The only benefit we have is everybody's waiting, everybody's keeping their powder, so dry, and everybody's waiting for the whites of the eyes, and everybody is just locking and loading, and prepping, and fidgeting and nobody's doing anything. The fact that America is at least domestically all bark and no bite has really benefited.

the burning down of of the Cities, the burning down of the

Of the powers of control, right? Like I personally think that

January 6 was a molehill, right? Like there was no burning. There was no permanent damage at all, there was a little bit of shit on the walls, a couple broken things. But to me it's not an Insurrection until bodies are piled up under the hail of gunfire and the entire You know, the entire Dome of the Capitol building is incinerated from fire or bums or or whatever, right? Until until the capital is literally a reichstag.

It was really just just a protest and some breaking and entering, right? So my expectation of domestic Terrorism is bodies in the streets. My expectation for riots are city blocks burnt to the ground. My expectation for for all those things are extremely much more than your tolerance ones. Tolerance Americans tolerance for antisocial behavior is I mean I mean, especially since we're completely normalized on hundreds of people dying every labor and Memorial Day in America in Chicago and the streets of New York and streets of DC, and so on and so forth.

So, there's literally There's 400 million privately owned guns. I'm jacking it to 400 million because I'm not saying legally owned guns. Maybe 500 million guns in general owned by people, whether it's legal or illegal. Any any altercation that looks like it's going to be any semblance of a, of a coup d'etat, or anything like sedition or anything, like an Insurrection and so forth. If there aren't bodies being and not dying of Shame, three or four or five or six or seven days later from Strokes, or Heart attacks or whatever, right? Not from the you humiliation, or from being freaked out by the news or any of that sort of thing. If, if the only person who dies was shot in the face, Ashley Babbitt being shot in the neck, I'll be more precise being shot in the neck by of fed through a door, if that's the only casualty and people aren't Being you know stacked up like cords of wood under hails of bombs, burnings fires and the hail of lead from gunfire.

Then it's just it's it's it's um it's Hill & Knowlton, it's Edelman its public affairs, it's State Department. It's It's CIA, its public affairs from various and Sundry groups, and I don't believe it at all. So we'll know when it's real and I never wanted to be real. I'm so happy that Americans are in general either cowards or unwilling to shit where we eat or are just not nearly uncomfortable enough or our expectations are so low that we are not willing to take to the streets and and really make people extremely uncomfortable to the point where there's either real, not figurative, but real martial law and you know, at least Echoes of Les Miserables or Echoes of let them eat cake or, or one legislator, you know, in a world where judges and lawyers are being piled up like, like cords of wood and Latin America and around the world, the level of anti-government behavior is mostly verbal and I believe that most of the active The active antisocial behavior in the terms of shootings and prevented terrorist attacks, and other domestic terrorist attacks in the beginning when it was sexy to be oppressive towards Islamic Americans. Muslim-americans, the feds fomented mentally ill.

People into becoming radicalized and I believe, you know, In the world of, in the world, it's called the six week cycle, right? Every six weeks, the FBI has to do something. That makes it implies that makes it look like they are. Earning their keep that the Patriot Act deserves to be re renewed and renewed. And so, you know, the thousands of see eyes and the thousands of Of federal cops, go out there and sting people into behaving badly, and then stopping them right before, blowing up a fake bomb made of fake fertilizer. So, so it's, you know, it's it's it's Thea, it's its safety theater, it's it's, um, It's security theater. It is a series of of It is a way of controlling an uncontrollable populace because as my spooky friend agent KO, he says, you cannot, you cannot control a public. That isn't willing to control themselves, right? It's been proven, you can't, you can't make people who've signed, nda's, not reveal things.

You need to make them afraid. That if they reveal something, they'll lose everything in a world, in a modern world where people have nothing to lose because they don't own a house, they don't have any kids. They don't have parents that they care about, they might not even have a girlfriend. They might not even have a partner, they might be completely alone. They might be a They might not even have a Brotherhood or a fellowship or religion.

They might not have an association with people who, you know, in a world. These are the people that are often times recruited by Spire organizations. You know, if you aren't an orphan but you live in orphans life and you have nothing to lose your extremely dangerous. Luckily, these in cell people tend to be extremely conservative. Cowardly as well, if you're scared of your own shadow and you're completely permanently in a position where you are, are convinced that you're the victim and that you're traumatized, and that your power is in your vulnerability, then you're not going to do anything, right?

And if you're afraid of guns and frayed of anything like that, then you're not going to arm yourself. And if you are completely balkanized, you're not Going to be a jointer either. You're not going to join any group you and if you're completely sure that there's a pen Opticon over, all male groups, including Catholicism and Christianity. And Islam, if you believe that there is ubiquitous AI digging into every corner. Like they couldn't get into, you know, the Like, they couldn't get into the what is it called? The server like, nobody's watching anything right there. In fact, there's so much.

Ubiquitous panopticon ISM that nobody can track anything. Doing anything. Everybody can figure out what happened after a crime happened, but there's no way like pre-crime is a pretty much an inexact science and it's not small. It's not a small world after all anymore. But like my buddy Agent K said to me, he's like, there's not a one-to-one ratio, right?

The Stasi did an amazing job of turning all children into narcs and turning all neighbors into narcs and to turning all old people into narcs and to making sure that people were not allies with their Or their parents or their children that they realize that the value and power. And righteousness of the state transcends, the concept of snitches get stitches, right? That's the constant libertarian ethos that the state of America if it's going to become a maoist socialist, Utopian future one needs to seed the trust from that of in God that of family and that of community and not come from an ethos of snitches get stitches. But what is the term? If you see something, say something that, the only way we can keep things safe is if You actively hammer down the protruding nails, so, so there's that, like I do not believe I do believe that there's lots of people dying in the city's inner cities, but I say that when it comes to gun crime, I don't include suicide. In terms of gun crime.

If you, if you, if your crime is only against yourself, then it's not criminal and I don't believe that. It suicidal people are criminals. I do not believe that suicide is a criminal Behavior. I do not believe that committing suicide is morally.

Even morally, uncool, I believe that anybody who wants to check out, you know, especially if they believe their brain is broken and they don't feel like they fit anymore and they've been When I mean, you know it's a three-strike rule, right? Like if you if there's been interdiction on your tendency to want to be suicidal, and you've been, and there's been an interdiction on your or an intervention on your behavior several times. And you are Inconsolable then your decision is your own and you know, nobody man. Even dated a girl, pretty recently who scrolled up. She doesn't do it anymore but she she squirreled away.

What she called. Her magic yellow pills, right? Like they helped her sleep, but she also Squirrel them away and made sure that she had a death dose, right? A fatal dose. There's a lot of people who do that like recently a family friend took her life via hanging which is an extremely aggressive personal act, right?

Like there's no it's a painful thing, right? Like unlike a professional hanging, which is in a Gallows where you fall 10 feet, and break your neck. This is something where you fall maybe off of a stool and it is 100%, it is 100% asphyxiation, God, right? I mean, I believe that you should be allowed to take your own life. I don't believe that the numbers of people who take their own life by a firearm should be included in the number of gun crime deaths in America.

That said there are 400 500 million legal and illegal guns in America. Maybe even a billion and The restraint that garden-variety Americans have in their day-to-day. Considering that, I think that, you know, most of these shootings are federal setups. I mean, obviously school, shootings, and so forth. You know, are less suspect, but, you know, things where people things are discovered in the nick of time in though, so forth. Like considering that there might be short of a billion firearms in this country and 783 or similar 93 million privately owned legally.

No, sorry, sorry, I take that back. Three hundred three hundred eighty three or three hundred ninety. Three million privately owned legal firearms. I would say that this is a country of extreme amounts of Restraint, right? Like it's not like the movies where cops are going into the streets after a bank robbery and mowing down using fully automatic AR-15s and machine. Pistols or ubiquitous Miami Vice Uzi or Ingram 10 or Ingram 11 or, you know, canine is that right? Or the ubiquitous MP5.

Nine millimeter or the sexy little 380 Scorpion or 32 Caliber Scorpion CZ. Scorpion like this is not this.

There are, it looks like according to the media, there might be more and more full auto Glocks. Now, that seems to be popular using the third party chinese-built Seer called, I think they call it a Nora or something. There seems to be more of that, but I've never heard it. I've heard gunshots, I live in the greater DC area. I've never heard burp, burp, burp. What up, what up?

What up, what up? I've never heard bursts of three. I've never heard full-auto in the streets. I've only heard some automatic guns fire, so, I don't even know. Did I stop this at all? Or did I do an introduction?

Who knows? Anyway, yeah, I think I'm done but I do think the the the source of this conversation is a lot to do with what I was saying before, which is to say now that everything has become so life or death and you know there's then 9/11 might have been against against might have allowed Jihad against the Muslim world or against the Middle East or against Afghanistan or this thing called terrorism. The One is is a Jihad against Americans, right? And and the biggest danger though is that anybody who proves extreme can end up under the extremists under the extremists Spyglass some of the the the microscope, right? You if you are If you are antifa, you are not immune you are tomorrow's Target, right? You there might be a Cristo fascist focus at the moment. But in a world where by any means necessary, it means that anybody who takes You know, this is not a sweet generous, this is not a self-defined mission, this is a a larger command and control hearts and command and control hearts and mind mission. Right?

So this isn't just BLM this isn't just Trends right? So this isn't just lgbtq or this just this isn't just pro-choice or pro-life and this isn't just that Min ISM against Key like no matter what the situation this will be as shape-changer that will always change its shape in order to foment and exacerbate and can certify and mutate. And what is the term for malignant, fi anything that will distract stabilize the government in a way that there can be better control over the populace and the populace can be coerced or manipulated and even better than that decide to. Because going back to Agent K, it's much better. If the people the people who follow think they're the leaders, it's much better.

If the sheep and I hate to use that word or it's much better when the flock already knows where to go. Go. So that the, so that the shepherd doesn't have to work so hard and And so you know what's going to happen if by any means necessary, what is the next? What are the next? What is the next 18 months going to look like right? Like I assume that there's just about 18 months between now and the election?

And I want you to know that Trump is always been a foil. Trump is always been a manifestation of something. He's always been trumped up, he's always been a trump card, he's always been someone who is a what is the term? A Goldberg from 1984. He's a, he's a, he's a, he's the manifestation of a false flag. He's the manifestation of, they of Boogeyman, he is a manifestation of a Hitler of a Mussolini of a now, of a Stalin of a Lenin of a, of a, Of a despot like charge Fescue or whomever like he is he is America's Putin, right? He is the heel in a wrestling match. He is the, he is the wrestler ug rat, while the face and I assume that the face is Joe Biden. the face comes out swathe, in an American flag and while in comes the evil, Devious terrifying. Monstrous caricature that is That is that is Donald Trump. Donald Trump leans into his caricature. Donald Trump has never tried to remake himself into anything but a reduction of Donald Trump.

He is, he is the he is the low class version of the Monopoly, man, right? He is. He is the Monopoly, man. And with a bad 10, bad dye job and zero spectacle zero spats zero-waste Coast, 0, Whitetail Blacktail black tuxedo, right? He is the floppy-haired 1980s villain in any sundry movie where some douchebag sleeps with your wife. Wife.

For closes your your house. Destroys your credit and fires you. So, all that said, this is going to be fun to watch if there are no rules during a time of jihad, I'm surprised that things haven't gotten much more terrifying. I think that a periodic school shooting is nothing. 1969. 1968, they burnt down Washington d.c.

they burnt the fuck. In place down, not, not just a couple cop cars, but they burnt down what most of you street, right? When I started college in 88 here, like that whole neighborhood was still POS man, still not smoldering literally, but smoldering figuratively.

Anyway, I thought I'd go ahead and record a very sweet and loving and kind and generous Blog podcast to keep everything light and uplifted and I'll talk to you soon. Love you guys. Bye.
