Neaqr the end of the Roman Empire the people in power used simular tactics to bypass the growing citizen dis-satisfaction with their rulers....
How the left wins?
Well, when you nominate both the Democrat and Republican candidate, it is pretty hard to lose.
they are also experts at herding the sheople through social psychology. I learned a lot in that class.
I keep pimping “The Language of the 3rd Reich” by Victor Klemperer. In the book Klemperer lays out how the nazis manipulated the German Language as a means of manipulating society.
We see the same every time the left tries to change or eliminate a word from the English language. Illegal aliens became illegal immigrants and now they try to ban the use of the word “illegal”. Look at what they’ve done to the word “Militia”. It used to denote honor, duty, and patriotism but now most people think anti government, racist, and violent.
And when your base smartens up and demands change you just import 20 million new members to your base and there you go.
The money quote:
“To win the future, the Left doesn’t have to win every election; all it has to do is keep changing the demographics until either the right cannot have any hope of winning any more or until the right is so far left that there no longer is anything that can be described as an opposition.”
Speaking of Latvians, the other day a Latvian tennis player was asked whether they should have umpires in the game. He said "no" and tried to explain why. Then he stopped and took it back...he had just realized they had asked about umpires. He thought they had asked about vampires.
