The Left Wages War On Donald Trump, Its Godzilla
Forbes ^ | January 29, 2017 | Ralph Benko

Posted on 01/29/2017 12:10:50 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Last week, in downtown DC, I was treated up-close-and-personal to Greenpeace’s banner unfurled -- two intrepid activists dangling from it to provide ballast -- from the top of a 270-foot-high crane rising above the crater of the old Washington Post building proclaiming RESIST. It was a picturesque manifestation of the War on Trump with some of my own snapshots ending up being featured on Facebook's The Trump Revolution page.

I promptly called up my old arch-nemesis, Patrick Reinsborough. He is one of the Secret Masters of the Anarcho-Populist Universe, one of the chief architects of the epic “Battle in Seattle” against the WTO and of the massive protest against the World Bank and IMF, Washington A16, 2000. Since then he, presumably, has been systematically mentoring new generations of aspiring Sith Lords.

This is how we met. The World Bank and IMF then were as much demonized by the right as the left, and rightly so. So, I joined the protest. I failed to recruit other conservatives, leaving me, after the departure of one pal, the only visible suit in a sea of denim. I was enthralled. And determined to figure out who was orchestrating that massive protest.

It is no simple thing to figure out who's “in charge” in an ocean of anarchists. But I noted a tall young man dressed in a sharp blazer and well-pressed slacks carrying a walkie-talkie. This, testimony to my antiquity, was in 2000, before cellphones.

I approached him and said, “Pardon me. I covet one of those batik flags lashed to the lampposts and propose to liberate one for my collection.” To which he replied, “Oh sir, please don’t do that. They’re private property and promised to the Smithsonian. You can purchase one on our website.”(continued)

Ralph Benko was a big pusher of “immigration reform.”

A RINO.

Therefore the left wages war, at their peril, on the millions that voted for DJT.

This was a preemptive move against terror. It encourages moderates to cooperate and the actual terrorists to either not get here or perhaps second think their action.

Europe will follow.

So the left hates Trump, but underestimates him.

That could be said in under two pages.

This is as much click bait as any spam sites. Maybe someone needs to tell Forbes also that what they sell is not worth the price.

It was a just a joke......lame maybe, but just a joke. You don’t remember 1956? ‘Godzilla’? Where in the movie during the/his radio broadcasting scenes, actor Raymond Burr describes to his listeners, as he sees it live, the big guy taking it heavy to the Japs!

And then came along Trump, a guy just ripe for demonization by the left. I think it's fair to say that even his early supporters worried that the Democrats would successfully make him toxic to the general voting public with his boorish behavior, vulgarity, multiple bankruptcies and very public divorces.

But something strange happened. Not only did Donald Trump not care about attacks on his character, neither did anyone else. We saw this new paradigm assert itself over and over during the primary throughout repeated media predictions that this time he's gone to (sic) far and he's cooked.

This same indifference that helped Trump carry the election has continued into the early days of his administration. With it comes a refreshingly freeing state of mind. Personally, I don't feel in any way responsible for Trump, nor do I feel compelled to defend him against attack.

Why? Because I voted for retribution.

Ralph Benko's right. The truth is we don't give a damn about liberal tears,or feelings, or threats anymore... liberal elites have played those cards once - or a thousand - times too often.

We see liberal elites as liars and manipulators... people who cheat ... people who will do whatever it takes SHORT OF BEING FAIR AND DEALING WITH US HONESTLY to win. The left can NOT be trusted. No one gives a damn about their tears or about their passionate calls for empathy when they offer none in return - ever. We're done with them.

Need to take that song by the Blue Oyster Cult and make a music video with it starring Trump showing him destroying the Left.

Oh no, they say he's got to go go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of men

How did the Nobel committee ever pass over Blue Öyster Cult?

Injustice!

I agree that the left has declared real war on Trump. Indeed some of them have implied or actually threatened Trumps assassination.

The war will become better organized and more savage as the left recovers from its surprise at Trumps election. I think we are really going to fight and break things. The precise date when it will break out I don't know.

“That could be said in under two pages.”

Thank you! That is exactly what I was going to post. I read every word of those two pages. Two full pages of verbal diarrhea which translates to “the left is going to fight Trump”. Does anyone actually have anything to say any more? It is getting increasingly difficult for me to read anything nowadays because I know before hand that NOTHING will be said!

“the left is going to fight Trump”.
_________________________

Has it not occurred to them that 1) Trump can and will fight back and 2) so will we?

I guess I know the answer: they expect him and us to fight back and then they can yowl about fascists and reap the rewards when all of America revolts against this civil war our side has been itching for.

Fools.
