THE ESTABLISHMENT ❤️ TRUMP
To those of us who fight him daily, Trump is an abomination, an unhinged racist who has disgraced his office, who tortures migrant children, who incites neo-Nazi violence...
But to media and political elites of both parties, he's just one of the gang.

The GOP considers Trump a hero. Smug thugs like McConnell, Pence, Barr, & Pompeo suck up to him because he openly expresses what they privately think. Trump mastered the language of hate that Limbaugh, Hannity, and others spent decades honing. A quintessential modern Republican.
Corporate media see Trump as a cash cow, a ratings gift that keeps on giving.
They gave him billions in free coverage, helping to elect him.
Supposedly "liberal" outlets like the NYT continue to glorify his voters, treating them as the "real Americans."

Now let's talk about how establishment Dems have normalized Trump.
As Trump tortured migrants, Pelosi said: "We had hope to give Trump a signature infrastructure achievement ... I pray for the president."
She and her colleagues have given him several legislative victories...

Pelosi, Obama, Biden, etc. have gone after the left, as though THEY are the bigger problem. The constant refrain among centrists is that progressives are #TooFarLeft, which frames the most intense opposition to Trump as overly radical.
Meanwhile, they extol "bipartisanship..."

Impeachment was narrowed to the point of farce, giving Trump a pass on 95% of his most egregious offenses.
While pretending to oppose Trump's recklessness, Pelosi and Dem leaders have given him the Patriot Act and a massive military budget with a Space Force.
Some "opposition."

Perfect example: Media calling Trump a "wartime leader" after his #Iran fiasco.
