I just want to briefly document some of the ways I\u2019m seeing the 2015\/2016 anti-establishment sentiment of Trump\u2019s base being hijacked and re-routed into supporting some highly conspicuous pro-establishment interests this year.<\/p>\n

In 2016 and 2017, much of the anti-establishment sentiment on what passes for America\u2019s political \u201cleft\u201d today was co-opted and re-routed into supporting longstanding establishment agendas against WikiLeaks, Russia, and Syria. I watched many Bernie Sanders supporters I\u2019d fought alongside in 2015 and 2016 succumb one by one to the establishment Russiagate mind virus; it felt like watching a zombie apocalypse unfold, infection by infection.<\/p>\n

Fearmongering about Trump was used to herd people who support peace into cheering for ancient neoconservative agendas against Russia, making everyone terrified of a country they\u2019d previously never thought much about using still-unproven and plot hole-riddled claims<\/a> about hacking and election meddling. This in turn was used to create narratives about \u201cRussian propaganda\u201d, which was used to poison the well against anyone who questioned the warmongering establishment Syria narrative. It was also used to turn people against WikiLeaks who had supported it since its publications about Bush administration war crimes, and in the case of Berners even during the 2016 DNC\/Podesta email drops.<\/p>\n

In exactly the same way, I\u2019ve been watching a lot of Trump supporters herded into supporting longtime neoconservative agendas they would surely have claimed to oppose in 2016. Because of the establishment psyop known as \u201cQAnon\u201d<\/a> and Trump\u2019s near-total abandonment of the anti-interventionist platform he campaigned on, a good chunk of Trump\u2019s base who in 2016 would never have been on board with attacks on WikiLeaks or another regime change agenda in the Middle East are now fully on board with both of those things.<\/p>\n
