When they attack Trump, regular America is their real target                    

                             
In 1984's Tank, James Garner played a principled military retiree facing off against a corrupt, small-town system. He sought to meet with the governor and discuss his son's judicial railroading. He became a national folk hero, the little guy against the callous ruling class.

Toward the end, Garner slowly maneuvered a tank through a block-long, sustained hail of gunfire from snipers tactically arranged on building tops; their passion was to obstruct justice and truth. 

Since Donald Trump announced his candidacy, pressbox pipsqueaks unfit to carry his copy of the Constitution have maintained without pause an attack on him remarkable for viciousness worthy of MS-13, cartoonish spectacle, and unapologetic unethicalness.

But while President Trump may be their ostensible target, it is the American people who are under assault. Our 'crime?' Daring to think we can determine our own nation's course and choose a president who reflects our values, wishes, and intentions.

Every hour, they attack us -- the common Americans who thronged to Trump's campaign rallies, stormed voting booths across the country to endorse him, and who believe a government selected by citizens can exist and fight for our interests every day and in every way.

Our country. The way it was in the classroom history books we grew up reading, when hardscrabble men and women from all walks of workaday life forged a new land, created a glorious experiment in liberty, built great industries, raised an economic powerhouse, and defeated terrible tyrannies like Nazism and Communism.

When we boosted Trump on our shoulders and carried him to the Oval Office, we were standing up for ourselves, for the ideas real America represents: Fairness, equality, and a patriotic faith that is rightly proud and pursues American interests before any others.

The war against the president and common Americans is waged not by media vermin alone, but also by an amoral, entrenched political bureaucracy and more psychologically tilted Hollywood deviants than you can shake a Roman Weinstein at.

Evident from their words and actions is that the sneering poobahs of the ruling, propaganda, and entitled classes hate anything that imperils their death-clutch on power. 

Of course, their neverending witch hunt against Trump is often within the rules. They designed those rules for their own, opportunistic employ, to solidify their authority and crush popular dissent. T's are crossed and i's are dotted.

And when their evil crusade dictates they pursue obscenities beyond on-paper propriety, they simply rely on their beholden judiciary to grant them indulgence. And proceed on their merry, grotesque way.

It's monstrousness, refined.

There is a way in which upper crust-bombardments can be turned to our advantage: Let each enemy's attempted knife-stab make more resolute your determination that we the people will stand strong in defending the president we chose over the disapproving sniffs of the powdered and pompous. 

Lending to President Trump the popular support he needs and deserves, we can keep the faith, fight the good fight, and advance real America on to its manifest destiny.
