The Democrat power grab in D.C began during the Nixon Presidency. The grab was complete when Nixon was compelled to resign.
The media was a key player here, they stopped covering occurrences in D.C. instead they became the
propaganda wing of the Democrats and political opponents to Republicans.
Their collaboration had forced Nixon to quit which caused them to be emboldened
The
coverage of future GOP Presidents Nixon, Reagan, George H W Bush, George W Bush, and even GOP
Presidential candidates such as Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt Romney was
overwhelmingly negative.
The
narrative was that Republicans were old, anachronistic, bigoted, insensitive, pro-rich,
anti-poor, onery and uptight.
With
every electoral cycle, they are brazen and unapologetic about their political
proclivities.
The problem
was these Reagan, the Bushes, Romney and McCain didn’t fight back. Some claimed it was because they believed in the dignity of silence owing to their respect for the office of the presidency, while others just
accepted their position as 2nd class citizens in D.C.
Then
Trump came along.
Unlike
his predecessors in the GOP Trump is a fighter, one who could counterpunch as
hard as the punch was delivered.
Surprisingly the Bushes, Romney, and McCain who were recipients of attacks joined their tormentors to attack Trump. Leading many to believe that D.C. has a one-party system i.e. they all reported to the D.C. Establishment.
Trump
was unsparing with those who attacked them during his interviews, rallies, debates and on Twitter.
This
was the first time, GOP supporters had someone taking on bullies and
triumphing. This was one of the factors why Trump won the election in 2016.
Trump
made draining the swamp, i.e. dismantling the nefarious D.C. Democrat establishment
and deep state one of his main campaign promises.
Despite
impediments, he did have success, during the Trump Presidency there were no
gratuitous wars which means no gratuitous spending of tax-payers ‘aid’ or ‘arms’.
The Democrats
and their media partners were so accustomed to ruling D.C like tyrants and
driving the national narrative that Trump’s pushback first was met with shock.
After
multiple counterpunches, the Democrats devolved into a state of insanity which
was named Trump
Derangement Syndrome (TDS).
But it was not just a case of prolonger mental instability
They
had the power and made it their mission to unseat the Democratically elected
President Trump.
They concocted
and promoted multiple hoaxes and misused government agencies to wage a propaganda
war against Trump.
They must have had some success, but unlike before, they were not able to destroy Trump's reputation or drive a wedge between Trump and his supporters.
Trump is still a powerful force in the GOP and the front-runner to win the nomination in 2024.
This
has caused frustration, and consequently the TDS among Democrats worsened.
Twitter
was Trump’s preferred platform of communication and it played a key role
in Trump's amazing victory in 2016, is back. Trump was able to counter media
lies and connect directly with supporters.
Despite
their name, the Democrats do not believe in Democracy, debate, and free speech.
They prefer shutting down all dissidents instead of abusing their power. The Democrats were desperate for an
excuse to remove Trump from Twitter.
That excuse
came in the form of the protests at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Democrats collaborated with Big Tech to suspend Trump from Twitter claiming that he was inciting
violence and hate. They said the ban was
But the human illusion of permanence is

In
just under
a month after his $44 Billion takeover of Twitter, Elon Musk restored
Trump’s account.
Trump
said he
will not return to the popular platform but instead would communicate via his own social media network, Truth
Social, launched after he was banned from Twitter.
Why
is this reinstatement important.
The
suspension of Trump’s Twitter account is the equivalent of a complete
redaction or removal of records which is the equivalent of the destruction of evidence.
This vacuum
gave the Democrats ample space to fabricate. They could claim Trump called for
an armed uprising and that there was no counter because the records
were unavailable. Now all users have to do is search and debunk the lies
This
is exactly what journalist Kyle Becker did.
He reminded
everyone about what Trump had actually tweeted on January 6th, 2021.
He had urged his supporters to respect the police and to protest peacefully

Predictably
Trump’s reinstatement to Twitter caused the standard reactions.
There
was ecstasy among supporters
There was unrelenting agony from detractors.
Despite Trump not tweeting a single word, his
mere presence caused them to lose their minds, and this meltdown made it a more enjoyable experience
for supporters.
We begin with the agony.
