This is a paraphrase of a comment I recently heard at a political dinner. The question posed, to someone who's worked in politics since the nineties, was, "Can you distill the opposition's position to a sentence?"
We're in an ideological civil war right now. Trump and the Deplorables versus the Establishment and the Left.
I see no winners emerging from this. The more it goes on, the fewer people believe in institutions, or know what facts to trust. I don't think we have a
"Deep State" in the classic Turkish sense, but this sort of fragmentation will enable a certain cadre of politicians, agencies, and the corporations and other special interests who've captured them to curtail civil liberties in the interests of security.
If you think Wikileaks is the enemy, you're focusing on the wrong battle.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!
I support Trump's removal from office from office, as soon as possible, by any means.
I know, I know, you're going to say something about Pence and piss shivers. Well, if you having piss shivers is the price we need to pay, I'm willing to pay it! What the fuck am I supposedly spoiling here anyway? This place is an echo chamber, inside a circle jerk, wrapped in a trust fall. What??!?
