I really can't yet see what the 'Trump faction' is composed of. Yes, the 'visible' public part is starting to become apparent, but not the Deep invisible part with real power. I think Oglesby's Yankee and Cowboy War might need to be dusted off and re-read, as I think Trumpf fits the Cowboy profile and is likely supported by the Cowboy Deep Political State as described by Oglesby. https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/sho...Cowboy-War
Hmmm. Suddenly he had a blinding glimpse of the obvious. ::
There is certainly a fight to the death between two elite factions. That much is clearly evident. Neither side wish the ordinary guy or gal well, or even care a flying fuck about them. At best they are seen as the breathing meat that pay tax so it can be immediately sucked out again by whichever elite faction has its hands on the state purse. Beyond that, everyone are (attributed, I believe, to Henry Kissinger), "useless eaters".
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
