Today, the great Katie Hopkins posted her column on FrontPage about the Brexit celebrations last Friday. Here’s a part that will likely resonate
with any Trump supporter:
And then the jarring realization:
what we came for could not be delivered.
This was not a Brexit celebration
as advertised in our minds. We wanted to feel it was over. That the monster had
been slain and the white knights were back in control. We wanted to feel elated
by our win.
But we could not. This was not the
end and we knew it. Our adversaries are all still there: the system, the media,
Remainers, globalists, and self-serving politicians. And many of these are now
hardwired for something that feels like revenge.
Gathered here in the mud and rain,
perhaps we also allowed ourselves a moment of weakness, a kind of confessional
that this has been really brutal with scars of the fight across all. We are
nursing bruises from families divided, children fallen silent, Christmases made
awkward, and the loss of friends.
. . .
We have suffered far beyond these
personal or parochial injuries: the politicians, elected by us but unwilling to
represent us; the lawyers, interpreting law to block Brexit and suit their
partisan beliefs; teachers schooling our children that Leave was the wrong
answer and that all Brexiteers are racists.
. . .
This crowd needed the kind of Trump
rally I have seen, a chance to feel triumphant, to feel strengthened by tough
leadership and to be lifted up. They needed refueling with patriotic pride. . .
.
She concludes with a sigh – watching the corrupt media in
action:
I walked away quietly, watching
mainstream news crews try to pick off the most drunk or incoherent of us to
humiliate for their TV shows in the morning.
I posted this as I expect she speaks for many Tea Party
readers. The full column is here.
