Now We Know: ‘The Resistance’ is the Establishment

McCain funeral further exposes true political axis

So now we know what ‘the resistance’ really is.

It’s the establishment. It’s the old political order. It’s that late 20th-century political set, those out-of-touch managerial elites, who still cannot believe the electorate rejected them.

That is the take-home message of the bizarre political spectacle that was the burial of John McCain, where this neocon in life has been transformed into a resistance leader in death: that while the anti-Trump movement might doll itself up as rebellious, and even borrow its name from those who resisted fascism in Europe in the mid 20th-century, in truth it is primarily about restoring the apparently cool, expert-driven rule of the old elites over what is viewed as the chaos of the populist Trump / Brexit era.

  1. Yes 1:16, I stayed away from FOX when they mentioned the old dude by name. But I did catch pieces and the offspring surprised me. I didn't think poorly of her until now. Guess she couldn't help herself coming from his loins.

  2. Those hanging on by their fingernails. Same sort of thing happened in Salisbury and look at the mess we’re in now. As voters and citizens we are lazy and week minded...folding to the messaging and smears perpetrated by the likes of Barrie Tilghman, Mike Dunn, Ireton, Heath, and the DT...Those with a vested interest in maintaining or ramping up the status quo. Give aways for friends, redrawing election district maps, etc. As voters we really messed up when we elected Jake Day (the Realtor and GSC candidate).

  4. What really shocked me about McCain's funeral was the Busch friendliness with Obama's. They were acting like children. Barbara Busch mocking the Trump's with their candy stunt. Michelle you need to eat what you preach. A little fat there - I mean a lot of fat there. Disappointed in Busch's. Did these people really run our country.

  5. 8:41...they are pissed that Trump ran slow energy Jeb off the stage. He was third in line for the family dynasty. I loved them when in office, but they have shown their colors.
