This guy mentioned "a peasant's revolt" in a video retweeted by Trump: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1120309471392169984

And it strikes me that that is exactly correct.

The Democrats (and most Republicans) have nothing but contempt for ordinary working people. They try to justify their contempt with 24/7 news about "racism", but it's just a rationalization for the hate for working people that all of the elite are indoctrinated with in elite colleges, the NY Times, and NPR.

The truth is that the people were told who they had to vote for, and they did not obey. They elected a complete outsider. This infuriates the elite, who are now busy looking for ways to undermine US democracy, such as abolishing the Electoral College.

The Gilets Jaunes in France are exactly the same. They are the peasants too. And the Brexit voters. The British elite are dragging their feet, undermining British Democracy as as well.

Eventually, after it becomes perfectly clear that Democracy will not be tolerated when it gets in the way of corporate globalist profits, the elite in all those countries may have to be removed by force by the peasants.

Workers instinctively understand that the masters want to diminish their power by bringing in new workers. This has ever been the case.

The severe shortage of able workers following the plague in England which killed many of them was what led to the Magna Carta; the rulers had to finally make a deal with the peasants or nothing would get done.

Sending workers to another country was a form of economic war engaged by the Japanese against Korea and China; Japan knew it had a lack of land, production and space for the teeming masses and sent more than a million Japanese to settle these areas which Japan actually took over completely for a period.

Trump may or may not remember history but it doesn't take a genius to see importing millions of workers surely can't benefit the American workers.

Classic comic. I remember it from days of yore.

Just like Brexit. They wanted a "People's Vote", even though there was a recent referendum with a firm majority.

Now May pretends she has to get permission from the EU to leave, when there is nothing in the EU laws that demands such a thing. She could literally leave tomorrow unilaterally.

The same French center-left that shrieks if some Myanmar Police uses batons to quell a Muslim Riot is silent - even secretly gloating - over the beating of French Pensioners.

France is the only country where retired people have actually a higher standard of living than working people. You defend state pensions that achieve that?

The "Gilets Jaunes" are not peasants. They are spoiled brats that fail to understand what world they live in, and ask more milk from the Big State Tits.

I always thought Wizard of Id and Hagar the Horrible were like the same style.

Here's the good news in this country, if a worker doesn't like the way they are being treated by their "master", they have the freedom and power to change it. The can quit their job, start their own company, and become a "master"... Problem solved!

Or, that can go on a forum and bitch about the masters instead... (which is the majority of cases)..

There is a fine line between mob rule and a "representative democracy" which most Americans is our form of government.
But we actually have neither here in the USA - we operate in a federal republic. Not a democracy. Just like Germany and other modern countries.
It seems to work ok. 1776-2019 is a pretty good stretch under the same form of government. The FF set things up to be separate. Congress is supposed to respond quickly to their constituents, Senate can deliberate sanely, and the supreme court has the final say. Executive, Legislative and Judicial supposed to be separate. Things change slowly, as have social issues. The internet has pushed the limits of free speech and mob rule has reared it's ugly head now and again. But even the social media masters have all but asked for regulation.

So, for the time being, I think the republic will survive. The pendulum swings back somewhat conservative, but give it 20-30 years, and it will swing again.

With a Liberal Birthrate of 1.6, and a Conservative birthrate 2.4, unlikely!

Hence the unfettered illegal immigration.
