One of the most striking things about Donald Trump's victory and subsequent transition is that the people who have been right all along are actually moving into positions of power and prestige.
That almost never happens in my experience.
In the ordinary course of events, the people who fight bad policies, bad arguments, and terrible decisions and who finally win over public opinion and win the important arguments are forgotten and left behind. What usually happens is that the establishment changes its policies and takes credit for returning to common sense, and the activists who made that possible remain in the shadows and are forgotten.
Often, the establishment rushes to paper over their mistakes and commits similar ones when the opportunity arises. The establishment almost always wins.
Think of the crimes committed and the hoaxes pushed to destroy Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. Time and again, we learned about establishment figures who violated laws, norms, and the American people's trust, and they were rewarded. Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, James Comey, Anthony Fauci, and too many others to count are lauded by the left. At the same time, the Establishment still slanders people like Kash Patel and Jay Bhattacharya.
Only this time, the Establishment is not going to win. Patel and Bhattacharya were right, and they will have the last laugh. It is easy to ignore how important a change that is. We now have the opportunity to tear down the Establishment, root, and branch. This is the most important moment in American history for decades because the Establishment if we are lucky, will not remain in power and be able to rewrite history.
This will only happen, though, with a Herculean effort that exposes all the corruption and lies. Whether people who deserve it go to jail or not is hardly as important as humiliating them before the American people. That humiliation must be relentless and continuous. It can't come in the form of reports that come and go, getting buried by the media. We need to drag through the mud each and every one of the malefactors on a daily basis.
Total humiliation must be the goal, of both the Deep State actors who are trying to replace our Constitution with the rule of technocrats and of the cultural institutions which cheer them on and enable the process. The media, academia, major corporations who collaborated, the nonprofits, and especially the nameless bureaucrats must be dragged through the mud, tarred and feathered, and put into metaphorical stocks to be pelted with rotten tomatoes.
Of course, there are some people who must be criminally investigated and charged where appropriate. People like Alejandro Mayorkas deserve every day in jail we can impose on him for his crimes. Don't be surprised if Biden pardons him prior to January 20th because there are a LOT of crimes hidden in his files. If Biden leaves him open to criminal investigation and charges, the Justice Department should seek to put him in jail. He has much to answer for.
But legal remedies are hardly the point in most cases. Destruction of the corrupt establishment is the most important task for the Trump administration because if the Establishment survives unscathed, it will have won. Surviving a Trump administration would enable it to continue on the path it took under Biden.
Complete and total destruction of the transnational elite must be our goal. Humiliation is the most powerful tool at our disposal. A humiliated elite--an elite with no persuasive power--is no elite at all.
