When I see the media coverage of large number of protesters in England who are protesting -- I'm not sure exactly what -- Trump, I have to stop and think, "Why are they protesting?" I suppose it came to me as a bit of revelation that is isn't really about Trump, it is the Left's fear of what he represents. They have a stronger hold in the U.K. and Europe than they have in the U.S. in spite of the constant media bombardment in support of their agenda. They don't want the grassroots conservative movement to catch fire in Britain.
Brexit is one of the few conservative moves in the "Old World" that could become the platform for even more conservatism to take root there. It threatens the movement toward a One World Order -- a unified global governing body. Individual countries can't exist in a unified world because it divides loyalty. To some extent it was the basis for the U.S. Civil War many years ago -- state's rights vs. a unified Federal power. (Some day I may write about my thoughts on a unified global governing body -- i.e. One World Order -- but not now. It might require a book.)
Trump is magnetic -- definitely not charismatic -- but, he draws attention. It is an interesting style that is effective. When you lack charisma you must rely on other things to move the crowd. He does it through controversy and confrontation. It works. In this country the "Right" is more engaged that it has been in many, many years thanks to Trump.
Love him, hate him, or whatever your feelings toward him, he is effective at bringing the deep issues into focus.
