President Donald Trump crushed his sole remaining opponent Nikki Haley among registered Republicans in the New Hampshire Primary, beating the former governor of South Carolina among that constituency by a three-to-one margin. Yet Haley got around 43 percent of the primary vote, which the media is touting today as Haley having earned the right to “fight on,” while exposing Trump’s “November weaknesses.” How did Haley reach this unlikely number? In the open, operative Democrats manufactured an illusion.
The candidacy of Nikki Haley, the favorite of the globalist donor class, is emblematic of the elite drive to make the United States more like Canada (see exiled Canadian trucker Gord Magill explain to Tucker Carlson how darkness has descended on Canada). This is how the transnationalists operate: they control the opposition by selecting candidates subservient to the neoliberal / neoconservative project and then flood the zone with dollars and voters. They manufacture the perception that the race is competitive, while forcing the Trump campaign to spend time and money on an inevitable victory, as well as bidding time for the lawfare project to do its work.
This strategy dovetails with the project to indoctrinate the youth in anti-American and anti-Western sentiment. The indoctrination program yields zealots who, by command and confluence, vote to keep “fascism at bay,” i.e., entrench the corporatist establishment. This is the army of woke progressives who no longer believe in the American Republic, young Americans who have been trained to loathe their country, the West, and the Enlightenment. (Some of them have been conditioned to loathe themselves. Their race. Their gender. Their religion.) At this point, the parallels between this development and the Cultural Revolution under Mao Tse-tung is so obvious the comparison needs no justification or elaboration.
The elite learned a lot from Antonio Gramsci’s observation that to dominate a society it is not enough to solely focus on suppressing the opposition. A social logic must be installed that brings people to pitch with the force of instinct. The ruling classes maintain their dominance not just through force or coercion but also by shaping the beliefs, norms, and values of society. Gramsci argues that to establish and maintain control, a ruling class needs to gain cultural and ideological leadership in addition to political and economic control. Achieving and sustaining power requires engineering the consent of the governed, influencing their thoughts and values to align with the interests of the ruling class. This involves establishing cultural and intellectual dominance, controlling key institutions—education and entertainment—and commanding the prevailing ideology in society.
This is Gramsci’s concept of “ideological hegemony.” It involves maintaining power not only through achieving control of the administrative apparatus and party machinery but also by influencing the way people think and perceive the world, creating a cultural framework and installing a social logic that supports the goals interests of the ruling class. The elite interests become the perceived interests of the class whose organic interests it objectively opposes. This involves revising the history of a people, replacing it with a pseudo history, and distorting the national ideals, supplanting these with an ideology extolling the virtues of the ruling class and technocratic rule.
TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is a popular expression of fear of populist-nationalism across the trans-Atlantic space. Populist-nationalism seeks to reclaim the governing philosophy, i.e., democratic-republicanism, and the rights-based system, i.e., liberalism, that marked the period of the greatest awakening and progress of humanity in world history. The popular irrationalism opposed to this reclamation is amplified by the corporate state media and the culture industry and perpetuated by substantial establishment control over the electoral machinery and the means of intellectual production. The transnational elite understand that the United States is the last bastion of the robust expression of democratic-republican spirit in the trans-Atlantic space. They have to undermine that spirit.
Right now, our unique Constitution and Creed are sustaining us through a very dark period. But for how long? If we fall, then the West falls, and the global elite, with their barbarian hordes, finally take over. Then it’s corporate state neo-feudalism and the permanent establishment of that dark period—the New Dark Ages. That will be character of Orwell’s boot stamping on a human face forever.
