12/28/17, "Trump Ends 2017 Residing In His Enemies’ Heads," Kurt Schlichter, Townhall
"...Slowly, it’s dawning on Trump’s enemies – on our enemies –
that this isn’t just an unfortunate, temporary bump in the road to the
Californiaization of America, but a U-turn. The people who elected
Donald Trump were something his allegedly conservative Never Trump
opponents never were: serious about being conservative. It’s easy to
grift the donors with big talk about culture wars and policy initiatives
when you never expect to be in a position to actually pull them off.
But the Normals finally got sick of election year bomb-throwers morphing
into pliable puffboys once their reps crossed into the Beltway.
And
that’s how you got Trump.
Suddenly, the fake hardcore facade of Conservative, Inc., was revealed for what it was – a pose, an act, tiresome political voguing.
When someone finally showed up who actually wanted to act on all the
things the pro-cons had been talking and writing about for decades,
well, that didn’t leave a lot of room for those who only wanted to talk
and write and luxuriate in being insiders.
Never Trumpism spends a lot
of time whining about how Trump is “vulgar” and “unfit,” but what these
guys really resent is that he has embarrassed them. He showed them up.
He did what they had been yakking endlessly about doing, and they hate
him for it. They much prefer the quiet dignity of losing under a Bush or
a Romney to obscurity under a Trump.
It’s crisis time for
Conservative, Inc. The Eagle Liberty Forum of Conservative Freedom and
Liberty can’t fill its annual dinner tables anymore, even with a keynote
speech by Ben Sasse on how “True Conservatism™ Morally Obligates Us To
Lose And Not Offend The Elite Rather Than Win And Displease Our Betters.
That’s why they hate Trump. He didn’t make them irrelevant; he
just showed the world that they were irrelevant. And that’s
unforgiveable.
Trump’s kickin’ it old school in his enemies’
heads, chillin’ in their cerebral crib. His foes defined themselves by
not being him. The Democrats’ tax policy? Not Trump. Their regulatory
policy? Not Trump. Their foreign policy? Not Trump. And it’s the same
with the allegedly conservative Never Trumpers. How do you get an
alleged conservative to oppose moving our embassy to Israel’s capital?
Get Trump to finally do it.
They are all about Trump, 24/7. CNN,
and its silly Don Lemons and Tater Stelters, need Trump. They obsess
over him, for without Trump they are nothing. The Resistance? They have
nothing but Trump to fill their empty lives, getting giddy every time
some media outlet reports that someone who knows somebody who heard
somebody say that maybe Mueller is investigating someone who met Trump
once for felony jaywalking. The Supreme Poo-Bah of the HIPAA Court is
readying his Grand Warrants of Arresting – it’s gotta be true cuz I read
it on the interwebs!
Trump owns his foes. They are mere
satellites orbiting around him, and his gravity is all that keeps them
from spinning off into space.
They have willingly submitted to the
reality of a Trumpocentric political universe. It’s hilarious.
Their
impeachment fever dreams are fading, so they look at popularity polls
and take solace at the numbers. They took solace in them on November 8,
2016, too. It’s a bit over 10 months to the midterms, and there is a
growing, gnawing fear in their guts not that tax reform will be a
disaster but that it will succeed. They look at their swelling 401(k)s
and mourn their prosperity. They take cold comfort in the fact that with
a zillion dollars they managed to beat by less than two points an
accused strange-o whose campaign strategy was to ride around on his
horse. But they fear that the Republicans won’t oblige them again by
nominating more weirdos.
And Trump rolls on, not seeking their
approval, not conforming to their demands, ignoring them when he isn’t
mocking them on Twitter. He refuses to acknowledge their superiority,
their right to rule over us Normals. Because while Trump makes a
wonderful avatar, he is really only that – a symbol, a representation of
something more terrifying to the elite than any one man. Trump
represents Normal Americans, the ones the elite on both the right and
the left look down upon with contempt and fear. They don’t really hate
Donald Trump. They hate who he represents. They hate us. And they hate that they can’t do a damn thing about it."

"...It's only because Trump crossed the railroad tracks and identified with the unwashed masses that he became so hated.

"Once again, the man nails it. For me, THE sentence in this article is:
They much prefer the quiet dignity of losing under a Bush or a Romney to obscurity under a Trump.
Bingo. While Schlichter doesn't say HOW Trump succeeds in this article, he did so, when he wrote...[2/13/17]:
...The Leftist mafia godmaleidentifyingparents pulling the strings of the
Marxist Muppets know the score – they are losing. And it’s awesome.
Because, finally, the Right has taken Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals
and shoved it up where #TheResistance don’t shine.
...
Trump is clearly willing to use all his powers to beat the living
liberalism out of our enemy. Wait, this is where the Fredocons loosen their bow ties and stutter, “Why…we can’t…Professor Wellington
Wimpenheimer IV would not approve…it’s so mean…oh, well I never!”
Wake up. Man up....They hate us, and we either win or we spend
the rest of our miserable lives as Boxer the Horse, slaving away to
fund the welfare state under the lash of the Left until it decides it’s
time to pack us off to the glue factory.
Thank you, Andrew Breitbart. You yelled “Follow me!” and led a movement that had
previously been dominated by doofy wonks and bow-tied geeks over the top
in a glorious bayonet charge against the paper tiger liberal elite.
For Donald Trump and the revitalized conservative movement, Alinsky's
book isn’t some dusty old commie tome - it’s a lifestyle.
Best. Election. EVER. Thanks again for the posting.

Note: The above Townhall article excerpt is via Free Republic. I wouldn't otherwise see articles from Townhall. Mr. Schlichter fit well with Townhall in the past but has outgrown them in recent months. PS. Thanks to Schlichter (per above excerpt by Free Rep. commenter) for rightly including the late Andrew Breitbart in Trump's victory.
