Boogeyman elites, and other stories

[Tranquillus in Exile]

The Daily Telegraph has published an op-ed piece by Donald Trump Jr, drawing the usual fallacious parallel between the Brexit referendum and the election of Trump.

Some highlights:

When my father beat the Washington establishment in a historic outcome in 2016, just a few months after the Brexit vote, we mistakenly presumed there would be a peaceful and respectful transition of power from the Democrats to the Republicans, just as there has always been in this country. [Like the Republicans' respectful transition of power to Obama, with Lying Don whipping up the conspiracy believers?]

Instead, the Democrats and deep-state operatives in our justice system have been colluding to subvert the will of the American people, with high-level officials even discussing a scheme to try to remove him from office using the 25th Amendment of our constitution. [Were those high-level officials Democrats?]

In a way, you could say that Brexit and my father’s election are one and the same – the people of both the UK and the US voted to uproot the establishment for the sake of individual freedom and independence. [A majority of British electors voted for Brexit;
a majority of American electors did not vote for Trump.]

Those who support my father’s “America First” agenda should rest assured: the battle for independence isn’t over; it has only just begun. [If the original "America Firsters" had succeeded, the world would be utterly different - most likely a hell hole.]
