Distracting political theater — Democrats' 'don't give up the ship' video — followed by President Trump's asinine response to it

The Democrat-Republican US Uni-Party . . .

 

. . . excels at distracting the American public from indulging in critical thinking.

 

 

A particularly good example of this . . .

 

. . . recently came from feigned furor over six Democrats' provocatively aimed — 'Don't give up the ship' — video.

 

Where — arriving at its 0:48 and 0:52 minute marks — these Democrats advised US military forces that:

 

 

Our laws are clear, you can refuse illegal orders.

 

You must refuse illegal orders.

 

 

The video intentionally inspired partisan provocativeness . . .

 

 . . . over rational persuasion.

 

It presented no specifics — as to substance, situational context, or law — regarding the supposedly illegal Trump administration behaviors that the Democrats were referring to.

 

This being so, despite the existence of at least a few Trump administration illegalities that really are blatantly evident to anyone already knowledgeable in constitutional and international law.

 

For example, the now numerous instances of the Trump administration's due process-lacking serial mass murders of South Americans riding in allegedly drug-running boats.

 

 

Equally unhelpfully and divisively

 

Our impulsive President intemperately lashed back:

 

 

It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.

 

Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL.

 

Their words cannot be allowed to stand - We won’t have a Country anymore!!!

 

An example MUST BE SET. President DJT

 

 

If one were to act upon Trump's Truth Social recommendation . . .

 

. . . even practicing attorneys would be barred from alleging unlawful acts by government.

 

Despite Democrats' intentionally delivered divisiveness, it is impossible to be seditious — when one is literally quoting constitutional law with respect to the administration's clearly unlawful boat murders.

 

And perhaps also, though less clearly, when addressing President Trump's arguably questionable uses of military force in domestic policing situations.

 

 

In sum

 

Trump's explosively silly response to the Democrats' video ploy again provided his political opponents with the kind of overreaction to circumstances that Democrats had (ostensibly) been referring to.

 

In turn, these same Democrats gave Trump supporters a perfect example of the kind of bad faith-generated political maneuvering and system-disruption that the Democratic Party has been — also illegally — targeting Trump with, since 2016.

 

 

We can reasonably conclude  . . .

 

. . .  that temperate rational analysis — and well-meaning societal good faith — escape virtually everyone, who populates influential ranks of American government and culture.

 

 

This is all by Establishment design

 

Control of We the Rabble requires our 'betters' to keep We the Sheep mindlessly head-butting each other.

 

 

The moral? — The Uni-Party's goal is to fragment . . .

 

. . . the American public.

 

By these faked-controversy methods, the reigning Oligarchy — which owns and controls both prongs of the Democrat-Republican Uni-Party — advances the Fat Cat Establishment's lucrative parasitism of all things American.

 

If We the Sheep were to wake up to the mechanics of Blood-Suck Central's mind-manipulation — a sea change in the United States' nihilistic behavior would follow.
