Between "power" and "influence," the line has never been more divided.
Trump has the influence from charisma, fans, followers, first-time voters, former and current Democratic voters, and everyone from all walks of life. I spoke with other Trump fans yesterday who traditionally would have never supported an assault on the Capitol, but yet...they were all fine with it. When you have the ability to change the world, you have power. When you have the ability to change minds, you have influence.
The swamp (R+D) only has power. They intimidate, they force corporations and universities on their side, and 2016 was the ultimate wake-up call. The past four years was not a cohesive operation by any means - all they had to do is act like the fair and well-behaved party, but they instead were headless violent chickens. They defrauded the election likely as a last-second move of desperation.
And now the swamp sees this period as "reconstruction."
And who did they pick?
Biden and Harris.
Arguably the two worst and least inspirational leaders possible. The mechanisms that have and will continue to prop them up are now the equivalent of an emperor with no clothes.
Biden and Harris will never be truly seen as legitimate by this silent majority, but at most they will only be known by the same term used to describe African dictators who stay in power from fraudulent African elections: DE FACTO.
Even if you don't believe Biden is your president if your in perpetual lockdown with a diaper in your face for the next 4 years and you get taxed 60% you'll damn well know their your president
