You\u2019re A Sucker For Not Believing That The System Is Rigged<\/h1>\n

Imagine you spent two years completely screwing up at your job, I mean not merely getting every single thing wrong but loudly, proudly getting in everyone else\u2019s face about how right you are. You\u2019d get fired, terminated, 86\u2019d, and Schiff-canned. But not the mainstream media. The media hacks failed for two years-plus, nonstop and without equivocation, but are they ever going to be held to account? No, they\u2019re just going to gather in a big circle and Pulitzer each other.<\/p>\n

Imagine you committed a racial hate crime where you falsely accused people who didn\u2019t look or think like you of a horrible atrocity, and that you\u2019d have gladly picked some poor saps with the wrong skin tone out of a line-up and sent them to prison for decades given the chance. Now imagine the two half-wits you hired to help you managed to get caught on video buying their stereotype get-up and spilled it all to the fuzz, though the fact you paid them with a check \u2013\u00a0because you\u2019re a criminal mastermind\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 was already enough to get a grand jury to indict your sorry AOC. Now, what are the chances the DA is going to transform your 16 felony counts into a $10K fine and a couple days community servicing? Your chances of said outcome are poor. They are poor because your pals are neither Mrs. Obama or Willie Brown\u2019s gal pal.<\/p>\n

Now imagine that you studied really hard while the rich kids partied and smoked dope and splattered water on you by running their BMWs through puddles as you walked home from high school. Imagine your last name is \u201cChang,\u201d or that your dad is a soldier and not a hedge fund manager, or that your mom is a waitress and not a TV bimbo. Now imagine how you feel when Durwood Richguy IV gets admitted to Harvard when he can\u2019t count past 10 with his Gucci loafers on and you get slotted on a waiting list for Gumbo State.<\/p>\n

Imagine you handled classified information and you took it home and put it on your iPad. Do you think the FBI would be super-concerned with your feels about it and give you a pass, like Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit got from Jim Comey, or would you be bunking with Michael Cohen? And speaking of that Looming Doofus, if you lied under oath in front of Congress, do you think you\u2019d be free to wander the country, posting stupid tweets of yourself staring at trees and beaches?<\/p>\n

Yeah, sure, that would\u00a0totally<\/em>\u00a0happen.<\/p>\n

The American dream has morphed into the American grift. And we normal people are the marks.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s stop pretending. Let\u2019s stop accepting the ruling class\u2019s lies. And let\u2019s stop lying to ourselves. America has changed. There used to be one standard, one set of laws, one set of rules. Now, there are two.<\/p>\n

The one set of rules for normal people is designed to jam us up, to keep us down, to ensure that the power of the powerful never gets challenged.<\/p>\n

And the one set of rules for the elite can be summed up like this:\u00a0There are no rules.<\/em><\/p>\n

The media howls about the rule of law. Democrat poohbahs cry about the rule of law. The\u00a0Fredocon<\/a> gimps whimper about the rule of law. But the \u201crule of law\u201d they aspire to is merely their rule over you. To them, the rule of law is not some transcendent principle. Its purpose is not to ensure equality and fairness in our society. It\u2019s a weapon designed to make sure nothing disrupts their scam.<\/p>\n

Why do you think our elite is so eager to pass new laws and regulations? Is it because normal people like you and me are running wild in the streets? No, of course not. They don\u2019t want to regulate political campaigns to make sure elections are fair. They want to regulate them so they will always win and we never will again. They don\u2019t want a Green New Deal because they care about the weather in 2219, but because they want to take our power and our money for themselves. They don\u2019t want to ban our guns because we\u2019re dangerous to other Americans but because, armed and ready to defend our rights, we\u2019re dangerous to their power.<\/p>\n

Do you, even for a second, think any of the rules, regulations, statutes or laws they propose are even going to be applied to them? Do you see the DOJ ever indicting some liberal Dem or some pliable submissivecon for \u201ccampaign finance violations?\u201d We know the answer to that because Hillary is wandering around the woods, with a goblet of screw-top Chardonnay glass in her withered paw, free as a bird.<\/p>\n

Do you see them giving up their SUVs and trudging to work on foot or riding in some greasy, stinky bus? Will they give up their air travel? How about their beef? Tofu veggie burgers are for peasants. And their minions will always have guns even as you are rendered disarmed and defenseless.<\/p>\n

Our elite is not elite. Instead, it\u2019s a bunch of bums who somehow got a little money and took the reins of power and are now shaking-down our great nation for every penny they can wring out of it. We owe them\u00a0nothing<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 not respect, not gratitude and certainly not obedience.<\/p>\n

If you still wonder how we got Trump, just look around you. He\u2019s a cry for help, a scream against the injustice we\u2019re surrounded by. This injustice is poison to our country. This injustice is what makes republics fall apart, when the worthless ruling class pushes its contempt in the people\u2019s collective face so hard and for so long that the population finally screams \u201cThe hell with this!\u201d<\/p>\n

It can\u2019t continue. It won\u2019t continue.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the essential message of my novels\u00a0People’s Republic<\/a>,\u00a0Indian Country<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Wildfire<\/a><\/em>, about an America split apart into red and blue nations and going uphill and way, way downhill, respectively. Check \u2018em out so that when the consequences of our failed elite\u2019s venal, stupid decisions arrive, you won\u2019t be surprised.<\/p>\n
