Welcome to another episode of TLAV Political Roundtable where we break down the week of American politics, and discuss its implication on American life, and the world. In this episode we dissect the temporary refugee ban, Donald Trump’s purposed “safe zones,” and many other topics. In this week’s Devil’s Advocate segment we discuss Donald Trump and the division of the alternative community during the election. As it is currently the most heatedly debated topic, we will begin with what is deceptively, and incorrectly, being labeled a “Muslim Ban.” Temporary Refugee Ban On one side, we should be held responsible for the repercussions of our actions as a nation, and no one is more responsible for the issues in the middle east than the US. To not take in refugees that we created seems incredibly cold and does not align with what we are told are “American values.” One the other side, with all the factions–both from within and without the US–that are trying to stoke the fires in the middle east for a number of reasons whether or not Trump wishes it so, and those actively working against Trump in every regard, at the detriment of the American people I might add, for Trump to place a 90 day pause on all incoming refuges so as to reassess the situation, just seems logical. And believe it or not, everyone can see that quite clearly. As we have shown many times on this show, politics in this country have nothing to do with what is best for Americans, it’s about winning, and making the other side look bad in the process. So trump’s opposition is simply capitalizing on a opportunity to make him look bad, and the mindless millions blindly follow. Many of them even know deep down that this is not as bad or unprecedented as they are attempting to make it seem, but they justify that lie with the same “greater good” logic and the purely emotional “Trump Must Go” childish fervor that guides this ill-considered endeavor. However, as previously stated, this ban does not seem to represent what we always tell ourselves are American values. Yet, neither does dropping 72 bombs a day on Muslim countries for 8 years straight, or arming funding and aiding the very terrorist organizations we claim to be fighting. Where was this outrage then? The point being: there is a vast difference between what the public feels are American values, and what the ruling elite feel are American values. So when the entirety of the media incites open rebellion against Donald Trump for actions that are shockingly benign when compared to the many horrendous choices of just the last four presidents alone, during which the media sat quietly dissecting the last pop culture “news” distraction instead of showing even a fraction of the outrage it’s currently showing trump, that should tell us all something. Yet, today it’s something we are all beginning to see on our own: that this is all game, a show, a mirage designed to make us look here, while they create reality over there. Few have yet to recognize the modern US ability to effectively, and quite literally, create and control reality. That recognition grew predominately on the heels of the botched effort that was supposed to be the 2016 selection.
