David and Goliath: Story With a Powerful Message for 2016 Elections

GOLIATH (Donald Trump) is coming.  He is big. Very, very, big.  He aims to fight us (David) and win.  He always wins.  We need to be afraid. Very, very, afraid.  The odds are mightily in his favor.  If he wins, he will take everything of any real value for himself and his loyal minions.  Then his elite corporate associates will be set free to exploit the world’s resources.  People who are different or unable to follow the biddings of the oligarchs in charge will pay a dear price.

Trump’s numerous lies have gone far beyond credibility.  His threats have far exceeded the boundaries of propriety.  He has been sternly admonished for his crass behavior by numerous celebrities from Cher to Colin Powell.  The best job by far was the rant by Keith Olbermann on the GQ web show, The Closer. Olbermann recites 176 actual behaviors that demonstrate Trump is grossly untrustworthy and unfit to be the President of the United States:

However, Trump keeps on pushing the envelope with erratic and ordinarily damming acts.  It seems as if, for some secret reason, he is absolutely convinced that his skills and methods will prevail.

Despite his obnoxious behavior, Trump is no dummy.  He regularly wheels and deals with elites, oligarchs, and possibly even criminals around the world.  That can’t be done with only three watts of brain-power.  He is an accomplished showman.  He can assume and play out various roles, including that of a bumbling miscreant.  He has sensed the angst of a large number of disturbed people and adapted his behavior to mobilize it.  Using the same tactics that Hitler did in Germany, he has fanned the flames of fear and prejudice to create fanatic groups of supporters.  That could even be dangerous to him as the perpetrator, unless he has powerful elites ready to help leverage his win into the kind of control Hitler seized with corporate assistance the moment he became Chancellor.

What are the hidden factors that convince Trump that he is GOLIATH and will be the winner?

• His tactics have mobilized a large number of angry and ignorant people who can be counted on to vote for him.
• Republicans now control 68 of America’s state legislative bodies, including 23 states where they control the governor’s office and both legislative chambers.
• Most of the nation’s voting machines are programmed and serviced by corporations that can manipulate the recording of vote tallies.
• The multi-billionaire Koch brothers and associated oligarchs are funneling many millions of dollars to presidential, congressional, and other candidates who are willing to embrace their self-serving agenda.
• Hundreds of zealous paramilitary “militias” are armed and ready to help “make the country great again.”
• The remnants of Blackwater, the world’s largest private military organization secretly established during the Bush administration, might be joined with the “militias” to declare martial law, if that becomes necessary.

With all of those resources and his time-tested savvy, it might seem that the odds are definitely in Trump’s favor.  He is clearly huge.  Really, really,  huge.  As a privileged insider, he would find it easy to believe he is truly invincible.  He has overwhelming resources at his disposal to simply squash us without even straining himself.

However, we Davids have a simple and special weapon that can be used to defeat GOLIATH’S brute power.  We can join hands with our compatriots, move in quickly for the advantage of surprise, and vote him into oblivion!
