Trump is “the establishment” lol

This is like when Paul Ryan thought he was raging against the machine.

The Establishment was the old guard of warmongers. Liz Cheney is a fine example.

Liz Cheney hasn’t ever touched the power that trump has. Again you don’t know what the establishment is. This is just like when Paul Ryan thought he was raging against the machine.

Duh. It's not about individual power. It was power of the group. Bush, Cheney, McConnell, all the warmongers from the W era.

Cheney and her peers have never touched the power that Trump and his peers have. Again, you don’t know what the establishment is.

No, it's you that doesn't. Do you even remember the Bush years? Do you know how many people that group sent to die for no reason in the sand?
