Never forget that that they hate us very much

Career politicians in both major parties are indifferent to public sentiment. Our own realities illustrate that. Were establishment politicians of finer character, our circumstances would be better.

Far from taking serious action to relieve our suffering, though, they give every evidence that they find it acceptable. Nor will meaningful advancement of our legitimate interests likely be encouraged by the hideous activist/donor/lobbyist melange that makes possible office-squatting elitists' seemingly interminable Washington reigns.

There is no need to surmise that they regard the common man with 10 foot-pole distaste. 

Reading from docketed offal, 2016 candidate Hillary told donors: "To just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the 'Basket of Deplorables,' right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic -- you name it.'

The contempt for regular Americans to which Hillary gave raspy voice in 2016 has since assumed prominence in both Democratic and Republican utterances. The monster that lurked all along now struts at center stage.

As patronizing, expensively tailored agents of the slothful, sniffing two-party behemoth will seek Americans' votes in 2018 and beyond, be aware of what they genuinely believe of We the People, before assigning to them your precious ballot endorsement:

Ever-sour California Rep. Maxine Waters strode haughtily onto the House floor in March, and issued this opprobrious bombardment: "We're saying to those who say they are patriotic but they turned a blind eye to the destruction that [President 

Trump] is about to cause this country, you are not nearly as patriotic as we are.'"

During an Aug. 19 appearance on MSNBC's Joy Reid Show, a markedly venomous Howard Dean assailed President Trump. Dean warned Americans, darkly, that: "If you want to vote for a racist in the White House, then you better vote for Republicans."

In late August, actor Mark Ruffalo joined in an anti-Trump   march, and as much as spat on common citizens: "Marching into Trump Country to confront white supremacy," read Ruffalo's concurrent Instagram post. To poncy red-carpet revolutionaries like Ruffalo, "Trump Country" does not mean "authentic 

America," but is used sneeringly (and wrongly) as a synonym for bigotry. 

Following President Trump's initial remarks on the tragedy in Charlottesville, CNN host Don Lemon was so beside himself as to stammer out this animus toward clear-eyed Americans: "Anyone who is in that White House, and is supporting him, is complicit in their racism, as well!"

Earlier this month, Breitbart quoted Rage Against the Machine bassist Tim Commerford, from his just-conducted TMZ interview. Commerford first slurred the President of the United States, then spewed toxic vitriol at all regular citizens who'd voted Trump with a desire to reaffirm America's greatness: "Anyone who voted for him is racist! He's a racist! And, as a racist who voted for a racist, you have an opportunity to make it right, and admit that you made a wrong

decision!" The bass player advised Trump voters to apologize by saying: "I fucked up." He further snarled: "That's what they should say! They should admit they voted for a racist, and that's how they can make it right!"

To bring it full circle, consider the fresh unpleasantness Hillary volunteered on Sept.10 to CBS Sunday Morning interviewer Jane Pauley: "Well, I thought Trump was behaving in a deplorable manner. I thought a lot of his appeals to voters were deplorable. I thought his behavior -- as we saw in the Access Hollywood tape -- 

was deplorable. And, there were a large number of people who didn't care. It did not matter to them."

As significant as was our 2016 election of Donald Trump, it was just the first step in our reclaiming democratic control of American government from an undemocratic, permanent, bipartisan Deep State. Remaining faithful to our shared ambition, and expressing the values, principles, and ideals we esteem through incumbent -challenging candidates that are genuinely reflective of them and us, is the multi-faceted crusade lying ahead. 

Addendum: As if progressive Democrats weren't problem enough, there now are old-guard GOP voices counseling that voters abandon the defiant and principled American spirit that was embodied by the historic Trump Revolution, and resign themselves to the Deep State-approved establishment Republican fold. 

During the 2016 campaign, many such GOP dinosaurs could be found on stodgy cable news panels, op-ed pages, and websites, loudly damning table-overturning, outsider candidate Trump and all average citizens of good heart who'd rallied under his banner, 

They failed, of course. Resoundingly so, and to very public and long-lasting ignominy. But, not all Never Trumpers have ceased singing their discordant, anti-citizen air:

An historian formerly in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush White Houses, Bruce Bartlett posted this revealing Facebook vileness on Sept. 3: "There is no longer any doubt -- ALL (100%) of Trump supporters are racists. If you don't like it, fuck you." Bartlett added clarification in  a subsequent Facebook post: "I did not say all Trump VOTERS are racists, nor did I even imply that all Republicans are racists. What I said is all Trump SUPPORTERS are racists. That means the people who support Trump now, today, after all his horrible racist statements and actions. Those people are racists." 

Not only do neither seditious Democrats nor swamp-protective Republicans have anything worthwhile to offer the common man, but, they really do hate us.
