Response To Trump Covid Diagnosis Shows His ‘Opposition’ Always Saw Him As Part Of The Club
"If you ever had any doubt that Democrats will one day regard Trump the way they now regard George W Bush, you can set that doubt aside."

The Joe Biden campaign is reportedly taking down all negative ads against the US president due to his recent positive test for Covid-19, despite no indication from the Trump campaign that it intends to do the same.

This would be the same Trump that Dem politicians and pundits have been assuring us is both a Russian agent who is trying to destroy America on orders of Vladimir Putin, and a white nationalist who is trying to eliminate minorities from the US to create a white ethnostate.
This same man who they’ve been saying poses a unique existential threat to human lives will receive no attacks from his only viable political opponent.

This tweet is after years of Maddow staring at the camera and weaving ridiculous narratives about Russia having taken over the highest levels of the US government. Night after night after night after night.

Do these seem like the sentiments of a media class who believes Donald Trump poses an urgent existential threat and must be defeated at all cost? Or do they sound like a media class who promoted Russiagate and Trump hysteria for ratings?
Do these seem like the sentiments of a political class who believes there’s an urgent existential need to defeat Donald Trump at all cost? 
Would you stop fighting someone who was trying to kill you with every weapon at your disposal just because they got sick? If you actually believed they truly pose an existential threat to you, would a positive Covid test cause you to let up at all?
Of course not.
Of course not.
It turns out all that unprecedented hysterical shrieking about a Russian Nazi in the White House was just political hyperbole. It was an act. They’ve never seen Trump as a uniquely menacing threat, they see him as what he is: an unremarkably evil standard Republican president.
They see him as a part of the establishment they serve, advancing more or less the same agendas. They see him as a part of the club, just covered by a thin layer of narrative to the contrary.
If you ever had any doubt that Democrats will one day regard Trump the way they now regard George W Bush, you can set that doubt aside.
As George Carlin famously said, it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

The responses to Trump’s diagnosis from the liberal political/media class show that they’ve never actually been afraid of Trump. In fact, what they have been afraid of is you.

All these admonishments toward civility, from the subtle like Maddow’s heartfelt prayers to the overt like Tribe’s “This is no time for cruelty, schadenfreude, or any other form of small-mindedness,” are the result of an establishment that is secretly terrified of the public.
These admonishments toward civility are always anti-populist in nature, and are always the result of nervousness about the public turning toward their rulers with hostility.
This sudden pivot from portraying the US president as a unique and unprecedented threat to finger-wagging about politeness exposes what’s really going on here.
Their job isn’t to resist Trump, their job is to resist you. He’s in the club, you’re not. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
