Here’s what Trump wants [View all]

He wants the same thing the Koch brothers want, the same thing that Sheldon Adelson wants, the same thing that those who have virtually everything, (that “notorious” 1%), want.

They want More.

And, no, they will never have enough. If they owned the entire planet and everything on it, they would still want more. They would drive the peasants to find new worlds for them to own, and then search for even more.

It’s really that simple and that complex. It’s simple because it clearly explains what they want. It’s complex because it doesn’t explain why they’ll never have enough. (Perhaps it’s a basic human trait that exists in most of us.)

But at this moment in our evolution, we peasants don’t really need to understand the “why.” All we need to understand is that we are nothing more than cannon fodder in their quest for more. It has always been thus since the first civilization appeared on this planet. And it is still true today.

Most people don’t understand this and there’s virtually no way of getting through to them. They will follow their “Great Leader” of the moment, and there’s nothing we can say or do that will change their course.

So it really comes down to one question. How can Donald Trump be stopped? The answer is easy to state, but hard to implement. There are far more people (voters) who want to see Trump stopped than there are those who want to see him elected. The answer is to show up and vote against him. In numbers “yuuuge” enough that the election can’t be stolen. I understand that this may not happen. But for the “naysayers,” think of a world in which Trump is “King.”
