Those of us who remember the protests surrounding the Vietnam War will remember the humorous term "antidisestablishmentarianism" when referring to those in favor of the industrial-military corporate-political complex that was being protested against.
In this application, Trump is very much a champion of the same group of people (who do not necessarily believe in the separation of the church and the state), a group that wants to reassert their beliefs in a world changing both globally and at home. Most of their beliefs are valid. Others, maybe not so much. For example, just as we no longer sacrifice burnt animal offerings as in biblical times because Jesus Christ freed us from that custom, modern hygiene and science has allowed us to ensure the propagation of our populations without perpetual unprotected sex. Lowered infant mortality rates and increased life spans have made contraception [I did not say abortion] a desirable practice to prevent the world overpopulation that is causing environmental degradation, famines, mass migrations and other havoc that will only worsen as the fossil fuels these people burn (especially us) will lead to detrimental climate change.
By the time Trump believers realize that global warming is real, it'll be far too late. Even if we stopped burning fossil fuels today, the ice caps would continue to melt and oceans continue to rise at a faster and faster rate because the rate of CO2 absorption by the ocean is dramatically slowing down and saturation limits achieved (ocean acidification). Weather patterns will change much more dramatically. Crop failures will become a problem in a world steadily losing its topsoil where agribusiness (e.g., Monsanto) dominates. Etcetera. Believe it; don't believe it. But, what if I'm not wrong?
Trump believers are now becoming the ones in charge. They are the new order aka The Establishment now. So, back to my original question:
How long before Trump is seen as the proverbial Establishment and becomes a target of the somewhat 'anarchistic' Wikileaks? Even if Wikileaks does not target Trump, it's inevitable that some spillage will occur during future data dumps that will embarrass Trump and his cronies. Will it then be my turn to be a fan of Wikileaks? Or will the new
"antidisestablishmentarianismist" shut them down? [Remember Nixon -- Trump will make Nixon look like a 'wuss'.]
P.S.- The second part of a Chinese curse trilogy may soon become applicable in our "brave new world":
