Though at first the herd respond with resistance, they already sense his superior strength, and this apparent reluctance is merely a socio-biological mechanism by which they test its authenticity and further temper it, like a sword in a smithy, to finest steel. Thus, today, we see that the only real players still vying for popular consciousness and approval, for our future, are Trump and the Far Left (as a group), respectively the most hated and the most hateful.
