I mean, he proved that he was “The Swamp” all along.

On the contrary, it exposed that the closest thing we have to this is just rich people trying to go back to feudalism before too many people catch on that aristocrats are merely authoritative parasites, and force them into their luxury bunkers

That’s true, but you know he’ll still call some kind of bullshit victory over the deep state while doing absolutely nothing. His followers will lap it up like a starving dog and nothing will come of it. Any highlight of it will just be cast as left-wing-news it more evidence of the deep state at work.

Ahh yes the Alex Jones Strategy:
Claim something is happening or about to happen then
It happens: you were right all along and take credit for it
It doesn’t happen: my mentioning it scared the bad guys away and they wouldn’t even attempt it

his whole purpose is to distract from the global conspiracy

Always remember: The people who apparently faked the moon landing, are concealing the existence of a ruling class of lizard-men, are putting 5G microchips in your water, and have a functioning secret one world government operating in secret tunnels and dark smoke filled rooms are also the exact some chucklefucks who couldn’t cover up the Watergate scandal.
Make no mistake, those in power absolutely are out to get you but mostly for the purposes of making themselves richer and remaining entrenched in power. The one and probably only factor working in our favor is that many of them are in fact working at cross-purposes.

The Obamas produced an end-of-the-world movie a few years ago wherein a character gives the same idea as a realization; nobody’s in charge and we’re just flying by the seat of our pants. In any other context it wouldn’t have stuck with me, but it did ‘cause I saw their names attached to it.

Most of the conspiracy theories involve that shadow group opressing people, removing rights from people, hiding truths, and transfering wealth to the higher classes.
A lot of what trump is doing goes along with that. I think this is not solid evidence against shadow government theory.

THIS IS NOT A SHOWERTHOUGHT. This just an opinion. There already a ton of places to put your banal talking points like this. Why can’t you put them there??
For examples of what a showerthought is, look on the right. Another one was posted 2 minutes after this very post:
“With all due respect” could imply that no respect is due and therefore none is given
That is a showerthought.

Yeah I think it just means whatever covert agency shenanigans are in question support this clown.

Not necessarily.
Trump doing his thing 2016-2020 met with a lot of obstacles and pushback.
Then he was out of office for four years, and while he was crashing around spewing nonsense and vitriol, some very intelligent and very evil people were working behind the scenes to secure some significant Supreme Court rulings and to draw up a step-by-step plan for instituting fascism in the US.
And now Trump doing his thing is met with almost no obstacles or pushback - virtually the entire government is bending over backwards to enable him.
And it must be noted that he’s not particularly smart or sane, but he is a childishly greedy and selfish narcissist. That means he’s incredibly easy to manipulate. All anyone has to do is frame something in a way that appeals to his crippled emotions and drop a few hints to get him going in the right direction, then just stand back and let him do his thing.
Not saying that that’s certainly what is happening, but…
