The Continuing Relevance of Goldstein, uh, I mean Trump

.

I’m not going to miss him once he really is gone – but I suspect Trump in Exile will get humongous ratings. His “enemies” will see to that.

One of the staples of Trump Lore is how the major media outlets gave him so many zillion dollars worth of free publicity in 2015, which enabled him to rout the entire Republican field, including the Bush Family's last best hope.

I don't know how to monetize the "value" of all this crap gleaned from just one day in June, 17 months from the next election, but one thing is clear. Goldstein, I mean Trump ain't done yet. His enemies are seeing to it.

Or are they really his enemies? Seriously? Are all these big time corporate news "sources" writing about him every day because they want him to go away?

Is this a great country or what?

Emmanuel Goldstein is a fictional character in George Orwell's 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. He is the principal enemy of the state according to the Party of the totalitarian Oceania. He is depicted as the head of a mysterious and possibly fictitious dissident organization called "The Brotherhood" and as having written the book The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism. He is only seen and heard on telescreen, and may be a fabrication of the Ministry of Truth, the State's propaganda department.

In the novel, Goldstein is a character rumoured to be a former top member of the Party and an early associate of its leader, "Big Brother", but having broken away early in the movement and started "The Brotherhood". Ostensibly "The Brotherhood" is organized into cells, with each member required to read The Book, supposedly written by Goldstein, The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism. Goldstein is always the subject of the "Two Minutes Hate", a daily programme beginning at 11:00 a.m. at which an image of Goldstein is shown on the telescreen and subjected to extreme contempt. Goldstein is commonly depicted walking among the parading soldiers of Oceania's current enemy – Eurasia or Eastasia – implying that he is not only an ideological opponent of the regime but also a traitor aiding and abetting the national enemy.

I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play too long.

@fire with fire Milovan Djilas, who was a close associate of Tito, #2 man in the post war govt. of Yugoslavia, did break with Tito, turned away from Communism in favor of Democratic Socialism, and did write a lot of books, but never, so far as I know, organized a secret organization.

Democrats, their supporters and the media couldn’t wait until Trump was gone and now that he has they keep covering him. And finding new things that he did wrong. Next up to be rehabilitated will be John Bolton whose book is finally going to come out. He was on the box today about it. And that is the funniest thing about Trump and how democrats ran a huge propaganda scam on their voters that I doubt they will ever see the truth. It’s already been released but they don’t believe it. Heh heh..Rachel asked some journalist how they would ever get their integrity back. And HerHeinous is rooting for Nina's opponent. lol.
