Rolling Stone Trumpie?

I ran across a couple of articles aghast that Trump used song when the singers said he shouldn't (Earth to Guardian: they probably sold their copyright ownership for filthy lucre so they shouldn't complain).

But you know, the lyrics of the Rolling Stone song sort of said what the Trump movement was all about

Lyrics HERE




We went down to the demonstration
 To get your fair share of abuse
 Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse"
 You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need 

I believe the Christian version of this is "All things work to the best for those that love God ..."

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need 

and for the Trumpettes, this is what they want:




Lyrics:

And when I go back to the house
I hear the woman's mouth
Preaching and a-crying
Tell me that I'm lying
About a job
That I never could find

 GLENN GREENWALD? Hey, when he’s right, he’s right. Democrats, Trump, and the Ongoing, Dangerous Refusal to Learn the Lesson of Brexit.

Supporters of Brexit and Trump were continually maligned by the dominant media narrative (validly or otherwise) as primitive, stupid, racist, xenophobic, and irrational. In each case, journalists who spend all day chatting with one another on Twitter and congregating in exclusive social circles in national capitals — constantly re-affirming their own wisdom in an endless feedback loop — were certain of victory. Afterward, the elites whose entitlement to prevail was crushed devoted their energies to blaming everyone they could find except for themselves, while doubling down on their unbridled contempt for those who defied them, steadfastly refusing to examine what drove their insubordination. The indisputable fact is that prevailing institutions of authority in the West, for decades, have relentlessly and with complete indifference stomped on the economic welfare and social security of hundreds of millions of people. . . . Trump vowed to destroy the system that elites love (for good reason) and the masses hate (for equally good reason), while Clinton vowed to manage it more efficiently.” 

a lot of this problem was predicted in the 1980's by Robert Reich's book on globalization, He forsaw reeducating those who lost their jobs so they would remain economically viable, but even though he later became Clinton's Sect of Labor, nothing was done...
