Hate to sound too Alex Jonesy or blackpilled, but does power ever change hands?

I was thinking this as I was typing, but also this:

If Trump was never a real threat to The Establishment, why have they been unrelentingly working to destroy him for the past six years?

I think Trump could have done much more, but he made mistakes. He chooses allies based on their flattery of him, and thus surrounded himself with swamp creatures. He lacked focus to get specific things done (like the wall).

Even so, the endless anti-Trump hysteria tells me The Establishment is not comfortable with him around.

I like to think that most right-wingers would not be happy if Barack Obama was arrested on some trumped-up charges, but unfortunately, human nature being as it is - I think they would react in precisely the same way.

I agree with this. In fact, I think most people don't really think, they just rearrange their prejudices. There's definitely the crowd on the right that would probably cheer if Trump personally popped a cap in Hillary.

But generally on the conservative side at least the pundits and politicians still recognize the importance of the Constitution and rule of law. I've seen high ranking Democratic lawyers basically posting "lol cry more" to legal criticisms of the raid.

He's in the pit. It's not left vs. right. It's the establishment vs. the pit. Long live the pit.

Just because someone's in the pit doesn't mean I trust them. A slimeball like Cuomo is only in the pit until he can find a way to get back into power.
