Fear. They needed to create fear to drive people away, and against Trump. Remember early on, Hillary said Trump would start WW3 with Russia. Being a Clinton, their internal polling data must have said that wasn't resonating with voters, so they switched it to Trump being in too close to Putin, and basically a Russian asset. That's what they ran with. That's why they created all the fake Russia Russia Russia BS. They needed to create fear, and the fear of Trump being the enemy within worked, for many.

Thing is, they know all about the enemy within, because it is them. They know it is them. They have always been the enemy within. Projecting it onto Trump was easy, because they knew all the nefarious details and ins and outs of being that enemy within. That's how they could convince so many people Trump was that enemy. He was the one to be feared. He would be a dictator. Worse than Hitler.

Now, years later, they want to go to that playbook again. I just can't see as many people falling for it, again. People are seeing who the real threat is. More and more, every day, people are slowly waking up.

Trump was never a threat to start wars, and he was certainly never the enemy within. That enemy is, and has been, the DC establishment.
