Are Trump and His Supporters Ready for a Fight to the Death?

• https://www.paulcraigroberts.orgPaul Craig Roberts

In recent articles I have emphasized that President Trump and his supporters are in a life and death fight with cultural marxists who are dedicated to America's destruction and who are institutionalized in every American institution—media, universities, law schools, Democrat Party, feminists, DEI contractors and corporations, Wall Street as epitomized by Blackrock, and the bureaucracies of every cabinet department and every federal agency.  Essentially, it is President Trump and a few appointees at war with the entirety of the US government and educational and media establishments. Trump has arrived at the fight late in the game when the long march through the institutions is essentially complete. 

In an article in the current issue of the City Journal, "Counterrevolution Blueprint," Christopher F. Rufo, describes the extent to which the US government is in the hands of the enemy.  In the 2020 presidential election  employees of the Justice (sic) Department, gave 86 percent of their political contributions to Democrats. Labor Department employees gave 88 percent to Democrats. Health and Human Services 92 percent, and Education Department employees gave 97 percent.  Rufo reports that these one-sided political donations are mirrored by tech companies and universities, bastions of left-wing ideologies and activism. 

To give you an idea of just how bad the situation is, the Treasury Department, the task of which is economic policy, financing the debt and raising revenue, during the Obama regime added a new bureaucracy, "The office for Minority and Women Inclusion," that is totally outside the Treasury's responsibilities.  This office continued under Trump's first term, Rufo reports, and proselytized "critical race theory as an operating ideology, hiring consultants to conduct training programs teaching Treasury employees that America is a nation of systemic racism with a 400-year history of racial terrorism" that continues today. 

During the Biden regime another activist left-wing bureaucracy was created in the Treasury, an Equity Hub with a Counselor for Racial Equity. Janet Yellen, the Jewish Secretary of the Treasury, and Kamala Harris, the black Vice President, quickly announced a $8.7 billion fund for lending only to minority-owned businesses, a blatantly discriminatory policy in violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment.  You can imagine how many "minority-owned" firms were quickly created  so that "deserving" people could be made millionaires by the US taxpayers.  And you can rest assured that neither Yellen nor Harris were held accountable for violating law and the Constitution.

Not even this was enough. The Treasury forced federal contractors to implement DEI and monitored tax returns to make sure that tax-exempt donations to charities were racially balanced.

Rufo describes the efforts of Nixon, Reagan, and Trump 1 to get the bureaucracy in compliance with the President's policy.  All failed.  Nevertheless, Rufo has hope for Trump 2, and he sets out the necessary elements for taking back the President's and the people's power from a hostile civil service that is united against American values and are substituting the values of cultural marxism in their place.
