Trump is a puppet master

“Whoever can conquer the street will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street.”

A writer last week mentioned this quote by Nazi Joseph Goebbels and Trump lives by it very well. No one can deny that Trump openly goes after the everyday person, and by everyday I mean Conservative white people that claim to be Christian. Trump goes out of his way to play it up that he has nothing to do with the elite culture from the northeast where he lives. The same elite culture that tends to be rich, white and donated to the Clintons … just like Trump. But Trump conquered the street with little resistance, which was no surprise.

For eight years, people that now hail from Trumpland, couldn’t stand having a liberal African American being President. They whined and prayed for someone like Trump to come along.

The writer also mentioned the Rules for Radicals by Alinsky. To be honest, Trump is a true disciple of Alinsky. Alinsky believed in ridiculing his enemies, use tactics that the sheep will love, keep the pressure on and use fear to keep the people following you. Trump is an excellent puppet master and makes his hard core followers dance to whatever tune he wants.
