The media is telling us that there is no idealogical differences between the Trumpers and the

establishment. From what I can see this is not true. the Trumpers are extremely anti globalist, anti immigration and anti diversity. Some of them are outright racist. I think that the reason for the pushing of this meme is that the corporations don't want to have any dialogue about globalism. Globalism has facilitated the great movement of wealth from the middle class to the very wealthy.

1. Both the Tea Party and Trump's election were rebellions against

the Republican establishment and its dark-money controllers hiding in the background. They know something's very wrong on their side, but not what and who, and so both rebellions instead were able to be subverted and used to take more power by the very people they were rebelling against.

VP Pence and most cabinet and other high-level appointees, including Gorsuch, were chosen and maneuvered into place by the people they were rebelling against. Trump, like his followers, has -- at best -- only a vague understanding of how his pathological incompetence enables his power to be used by others for their purposes.

2. So true.

I have not seen an ounce of effort toward anti-globalism other than hot air. Even those elected on that basis eventually succumb to the lobbyists, special favors and campaign funds.

Globalism is one of the foundation stones of the GOP, with huge support from multinational corporations and hedge funds, and international media companies.

I seems that big money always wins, in the end.
