Obama's third term

At Bookworm Room, Bookworm writes,

Keep in mind that Hillary’s will not be a brand new presidency, one in which she starts from scratch, changing the previous administration’s status quo. Instead, she will be Obama’s third term (and that’s separate from worrying about whether, thanks to the blackmail potential from the dirt in her hacked emails, she’ll also be Russia’s and China’s first term in the White House). Think of what Obama has already done, all of which Hillary will continue to do:

Pretended that Islam isn’t a problem, a position that goes beyond merely refusing to admit the problem, but which has also extended to destroying national security databases containing information about radical Islam within this country.

Weakened our military by shrinking it in terms of both troops and arms, changing its focus to social justice and climate change, and removing higher echelon officials who can’t get with the social justice, climate change, anti-God, pro-Islam paradigm.

Erased our Southern borders and doing everything possible to turn illegal immigrants into voting citizens.
Corrupted the Justice Department, which has become a completely politicized institution.
Placed two young, hard-Left justices on the Supreme Court.

Dramatically increased the reach of the administrative state (e.g., the EPA’s new legislating ability).
Weaponized the IRS, both in terms of actual weapons and in terms of using it as the mafia arm of the Democrat party.
Enriched the Iranians and effectively promoting their ability to have nuclear weapons.

Isolated Israel, putting her at imminent existential risk.

Destroyed our existing medical insurance infrastructure, thereby creating an opening for socialized medicine (which has long been Hillary’s dream)

Relentlessly promoted the idea that America is a racist, sexist nation, filled with rapey, hate-filled white men.

Obsessed with climate change, to the detriment of our economy, our military, and scientific integrity.

Attacked the Second Amendment as an illegitimate doctrine that the government must destroy.

Reinstated welfare to pre-1994 levels, to the detriment of generations of Americans.
That’s off the top of my head. You can add to the list.

To date, Obama has been way too effective in implementing the fundamental transformation he promised. Hillary will complete this transformation. The likelihood is that Trump will not. He may have goofy ideas, but he also has asserted good values tied in to core constitutional issues or national security:

he supports the Second Amendment;

he believes a sovereign nation should control its own borders (although, as we all knew he would, he’s backing off from his primary stance regarding Muslim immigrants);

he has not backed off his list of genuinely conservative judges for the Supreme Court;

he’s actively (indeed, aggressively) hostile to the mental Marxism that is political correctness;

he challenges the relentlessly hard Left mainstream media, which too often sets the tone for America’s social and political discourse;

he recognizes that Islamists are an enemy and a threat to Americans at home; and
he supports Israel, the only liberal democracy in the Middle East; and he genuinely loves America.
If you like Trump, I’m sure you can name other values he espouses.
