Robert Spencer in PJ Media: The People — and No One Else — Have Spoken

Nov 9, 2016 12:37 pm By Robert Spencer

No elites, no media. This is a REAL uprising. My latest in PJ Media:

donald-trump-supporters

The establishment media and the political elites are reeling, and we have every reason to believe they will never recover.

Considering the massive coalition Donald Trump and his movement had to fight against, it may truly be said that the people — the people alone — have spoken more clearly than they have at any time in recent memory.

Against the always shrill, often hysterical opposition of the establishment media and the leaders of both the Democratic and the Republican parties, the American people have made it clear: they’re tired of politics as usual. It is time indeed to drain the swamp.

Trump’s victory shows that the hegemony of the globalists, the internationalists who have held sway in Europe and North America for decades, is decisively weakening. The Brexit vote in the UK and both the Trump candidacy and his victory show that huge numbers of people on both sides of the Atlantic are fed up with lies, hypocrisy, and self-serving corruption. The free world is fed up with the suicidal policies of the political elites, and their bought-and-paid-for mouthpieces among what are supposed to be objective news outlets.

Not that those elites are going quietly into the night. The upset win, they say, is proof of America’s deep-seated “racism” and “xenophobia.” It’s a sign that Americans are misogynistic, unwilling to countenance a female president and all too forgiving of Trump’s tasteless locker room bluster.

This is the line they took throughout the campaign. Few who opposed Trump — either among the Democrats or among the neo-mugwump NeverTrump faction — ever grasped what made him popular in the first place. They still (still!) have no idea what enabled this man, who had never been a politician and had all sorts of negatives regarding his personal behavior, to defeat sixteen Republican challengers, including several movement conservatives, and then to defeat the Clinton machine.

Trump’s success isn’t a sign that America is “racist.” It’s a sign that significant numbers of Americans want the United States to survive as a free nation. Among all those who excoriated Trump for his proposed temporary moratorium on Muslim immigration never addressed why he actually made the suggestion: not because of their lazy charge of “xenophobia,” but because of the real, rational concern that jihad terrorists will enter the United States among peaceful refugees.

The Islamic State has vowed to embed jihadis among the refugees; refugees were among the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015.

No one who opposed Trump’s proposal ever offered an alternative way to keep jihadis out of the country. (Of course, the problem of those who learn jihad inside the U.S. is also acute, and must be addressed). Some glibly opined that Trump should ban “Islamists,” not Muslims as a whole, yet never suggested a reliable way to distinguish “Islamists” from ordinary Muslims. Indeed, the Islamic State has instructed its operatives to appear secular — to avoid ostentatious displays of Islamic piety that might arouse suspicions of “radicalization.”

Hillary Clinton promised that the refugees would be “vetted,” but in light of her refusal to acknowledge the Islamic doctrinal roots of Islamic jihad terrorism, it was unclear how she proposed to do this. How could U.S. officials vet for an ideology that they don’t admit exists? Tashfeen Malik, the Islamic jihadist who, along with her husband Syed Rizwan Farook, murdered fifteen people at a Christmas party in San Bernardino last December, showed how effective this “vetting” is: she had passed five separate background checks from five different U.S. agencies.

A majority of the American people saw through the same-old, same-old hollowness of Clinton’s proposals, and opted for a real choice, not an echo.

    It is amazing that Donald Trump could win at all despite the massive MMS bias and trickery.
    If not for that Trump would have won by a landslide against such a beast as Hillary.

      Yes, most of the MSM was united against Trump, but he made so many mistakes and alienated so many people that it was a surprise that he kept it close. Also, about 120m ballots were cast for the presidency. That’s only slightly more than 50% of people aged 19 and over. (I estimated this from the Wikipedia page about US demographics.) It appears that >100m stayed on the sidelines. So I think it correct to claim that more finesse on Trump’s part would have better divided the left, greatly increased turnout, kept more nominal Republicans on Trump’s side. It would have been a crushing landslide against the Evil Party.

        Not quite. Of all adults eligible to vote, only between 55 to 56% actually registered. Over 88% of registered voters actually cast a ballot yesterday, the largest in American history!

        Well as that egotistic Obama said, “Elections have consequences. We won.” And, IMO, we won against massive voter fraud. It was just that so many patriotic Americans voted for Trump that it overwhelmed the evil empire of the Clintons and their ballot-stuffing minions.

      “It is amazing that Donald Trump could win at all despite the massive MSM bias and trickery.”

      Agreed, however, as difficult as this election process has been, Mr. Trump hasn’t seen anything yet.

      The same MSM will micromanage “every” aspect of his Presidency, they will do everything possible to discredit him and beat him into the ground.

      Not only that, but he will have to deal with the “Republican Elite” those who tried to discredit him and have him removed from the election process.

      The next four years will be very, very, interesting.

    ……………………

    True–I have never seen the media so blatant in their bias. Even in small matters: the images on the page where I was checking returns coming in last night featured a picture–from at least ten years ago–of Hillary broadly smiling. The image of Trump showed him with a scowl, and was unflatteringly lit.

    Burning, smashing windows, and scrawling pro-Communist graffiti. Morons.

    These are not “protesters”–they are rioters.

    In San Francisco, masked thugs gathered threateningly outside GOP headquarters.

          Yes I watched the voting result coming in from about midnight on, and observed the Media people.

          The elitism in their saying “voters without college degrees“, irked me, and showed the superior mindset of the elites and what we really are up against.

          This belief that government or control should be in the hands of a small group of privileged, “right people”, or the active promotion of such a system, is sickening.

      I noticed that too: I was reading a report in our ABC online, and it was using phrases like ‘hundreds’. And the report was trying to make it look really significant, so if there had been larger numbers, they would certainly have mentioned it. In fact I kind of wondered whether even ‘hundreds’ might have been somewhat exaggerated. Given the sheer size of America’s population, and the size of the crowds that have been mustered in the past (e.g. the rallies against the Vietnam war) it is telling that, despite the hysteria in certain circles, and the non-stop hysterical anit-Trump propaganda not only in the US but right across the Anglosphere and beyond, these ‘protests’, or rather, riots, have been pretty underwhelming.

        In Oakland–which has gotten most of the attention–the “protesters” were described as being “several dozen”.

        By the way, that same single dumpster has been photographed from every possible angle. I imagine many people think the whole city was set afire.

        And here are a handful of self-described Clinton supporters *burning a flag* in Portland. If someone were genuinely concerned about maintaining American freedoms, would they be burning a flag? I *think not*.

    I wish to congratulate all my American brothers and sisters for electing Mr. Donald Trump as your 45th President. Just as Mr. Narendra Modi in India had to face personal attacks, character assassinations and baseless allegations especially from majority of the media houses, Mr. Trump too was up against unimaginable odds. But the brave and true always shine through. I’m sure both Modi and Trump will work together to make the world a much better place. Congrats once again from an Indian.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Nov 9, 2016 at 3:15 pm

      I would encourage you, and other Islamosavvy Indian citizens, to send that same message you just posted, directly to Mr Trump.

      Let him know that you want to see your two great nations – two of the world’s great democracies, despite their many flaws and failings – teaming up.

      Ask him to make an official state visit to India, as soon after his inauguration as can be managed.

      Obama, after becoming President of the USA, rushed off to Cairo to fawn on and capitulate to the Mohammedans; whereas Trump should visit India and Israel as quickly as possible, and – from Delhi, and from Jerusalem – throw down the gauntlet to the Ummah – “If you mess with us Infidels anymore, you. will. get. FLATTENED.”

      Mother India is a logical ally for Uncle Sam… *especially* if Uncle Sam gets his head straight about the Global Jihad.

    “….the American people have made it clear: they’re tired of politics as usual. It is time indeed to drain the swamp.”

    Indeed. Amen and amen.

    Clearly, the 2016 primary, on the Republican side, was a total forthright rejection of the GWB fool-headed failed costly policies and all tied to them.

    The general election of 2016, resulting in the election of Donald J. Trump, was a total and forthright rejection of the fool-headed anti-American failed policies of the Obama Administration.

    Therefore, as Trump has stated, GWB gave us Obama. Now, Obama has given us Trump.

    May God’s blessing richly rest upon and encompass this Trump Presidency.

    http://omojuwa.com/2016/11/trumps-victory-first-time-feel-homeless-america-thomas-l-friedman/

    Perhaps he is having second thoughts about arrogance and insight being one and the same. His notion of “The World Is Flat” depends on nations agreeing to it. Much like Muslims, he assumed his ‘Ummah” would support or have no ability to resist a distribution of wealth and power that brings the world to one low equivalent level – a mediocracy.

    Stay homeless for a while Tom, and meet some real people, away from centers of power. Try scaling down from promoting the decline of your own country and find a way to contribute to a rebuild.

          Glass ceiling. In this case, that is the lamest excuse ever. If Hillary had Trump’s positions, and Trump Hillary’s, would I have voted Hillary? Absolutely. If Hillary really believes she was excluded because of gender, it just shows how utterly clueless she is about the world today. The people who opposed her simply did not believe she was informed enough about the threats facing world freedom — and perhaps she did not care enough about those threats to become sufficiently informed. Freedom is an issue that transcends gender and has to do with the purely individual aspect of human existence. If Hillary more than Trump had been the vigilant eagle guarding against the spread of totalitarian Islam (a redundant expression, I know), I’d have voted for Hillary in a heartbeat, and been happy to elect the first female president to boot.

    I got a positive vibe from it, touch of weak light blue light in there, like a weak form of the Christian or Hindu light, but could be other, I presume he should feed that light.
    Don’t know why. Else a positive vibe, bit edgy, on the edge of teetering, which i guess also needs reinforcing.
    Don’t know what.
    Things have changed.
    Where i live is usually busy. All is quiet. Maybe coincidence.
    It feels different, like it has affected the spiritual atmosphere over all Earth.
    F— knows.
    We’ll see.

      It was a good Diwali. It will be a fantastic Hanukah, a terrific Christmas, a lovely winter solstice, and a kickass November. May all of us rejoice in being a little safer!

    It’s unbelievable to see the rejoicing here. This is the same man who condemned Pamela Geller and the free speech event in Garland! Has everyone forgotten that already? What basis do we have for believing he’s changed his views on this at all? Has he repudiated his prior statements?

    I’m all for people changing their minds on issues. But I need to see EVIDENCE of it! If he has, then great. But I’m not aware of it at this point.

      Mo, you are quite right–Trump is uneven on the Islam threat at best, and Robert Spencer has always noted that. I have cautioned Anti-Jihadists from overestimating what we might expect from him. But he has at least expressed concern over the influx of hordes of Muslim invaders.

      It is not so much that Trump is so good on Islam–it is that his appeasing opponent was so much, much worse.

        I have sent e-mails to the Trump campaign pointing them to JW and Mr. Spencer in particular. I urge all of us here to do that. At the very least we have someone who will listen as opposed to someone funded by Muslims.

      Ok, but remember that before Lincoln emancipated the slaves, he countermanded the emancipation orders of two of his generals. Lincoln did so not because he was against emancipation, but because he had to coordinate all kinds of things in order to come to a successful outcome in the end. Timing was everything. Had Lincoln pushed for emancipation too early, he would have faced rebellion among Northerners, and lost the Civil War, and that would not have helped the slaves.

      I’m not remotely saying Trump is of the stature of Lincoln. My point is that Trump, like Lincoln, was seeking (already at the time of the Garland event), to start asserting some control of the transformation process he wants to lead, orchestrate, and coordinate to a successful conclusion. A war cannot be won if generals are all going in different directions and there is zero coordination as to timing.

      I’m not saying this analogy is entirely accurate or fair. Just that there might be some partial validity to it that puts the Garland matter in a slightly different light.

      I agree with you, Mo. I’ve argued with some here that there’s no evidence to say that Trump changed his views regarding what happened in Garland. With that said, the candidate that wanted to bring more “Syrian” “refugees”, promoted the narrative of “islamophobia is turning moderate, patriotic muslims into jihadis” and had her pockets lined with islamic dollars lost, so I’m more than happy to go to Hillary supporters and tell them to suck it.

    Good article Robert.

    Any chance the Trump Administration will reinstate you as a trainer for the FBI, Homeland Security and other federal law enforcement agencies?

    Chartism’s spirit and opportunity has arrived in 21st Century America. It will reinvigorate plain speech and help give substance to civilised values in the modern world. Thanks to all who turned out to vote in this Presidential Election.

    Great post, Robert.

    As usual, you say exactly what I am thinking. We could be twins separated at birth, except that you are far better looking than me;) Keep it up, Brother. We love you!

    Just to be factually accurate Hillary Clinton actually had more votes than Donald Trump.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Nov 10, 2016 at 2:26 pm

      Yes, I guess it was about 100,000 votes more. But this was one of those cases where the electoral college result differed from the popular vote result, and thus we have President-elect Trump. Did not the same thing happen with GWB and Al Gore?

      • Mr. Sagacious says

        Nov 10, 2016 at 4:32 pm

        Yes it did. But the electoral college vote was much closer in Gore v. Bush.

    It was a pretty darn close to a landslide for Trump taking PA and MI, look at the map today. Cooky Cali voters and some dead people are the only reason Clinton appeared to win the popular vote. Trump got 305 electoral votes when said and done.

    Clinton Clinton Bush Bush Obama Obama. I like Trump better than any of that which (to me at least) makes him the best Presidential candidate in 28 years effectively purging the same power constructs that constantly regurgitate the same ole Hillary’s and Jeb’s cycle after cycle. Great thing number one!
    Great thing number two! President Trump sent the Clintons out to pasture.
    Great thing number three! Obama has to eat crow and shake his hand while being replaced.
    Great thing number four! The MSM is eating all kinds of crow, same with idiotic liberal entertainers and actors.
    Thanksgiving is gonna be good for me this year!
