feel sorry for leftists.
I realize many of my readers are leftists. I have to make a distinction here, because “Democrat” and “leftist” are not synonymous terms, as the whole flap over the Rizzo statue makes obvious to people now.
There’s a lot of them in Philadelphia and they pretty-much signal off each other like cattle moo-ing their way across a pasture. Few of you realize what is coming, but I already see the winds blowing. You will feel that wind turn gale force as the months go by.
The people I’m feeling sorry for are you guys, gals–and other–who have been out marching in circles around City Hall hoping Trump would give a shit about your Magic Marker signs. Standing next to you in those crowds were miscreant humanities students and flunkies otherwise known as AntiFa and Black Bloc. Unfortunately for you, even though you didn’t don AntiFa garb you are going to be lumped in with them; because you’ve been winking and nodding at them and quietly accepting the normalization of extra-judicial unconstitutional violence as if it were protected speech.
That is soon going to come to an end and it’s not because of Charlottesville. Sorry, that’s how it’s going to be spun. Own it. The backspin has already started:
[bunch of tweets, excerpts from other sources etc] The Great Disavowal Has Arrived
You see, there are quite a number of Democratic senators in Congress who are up for re-election next year. Our very own U.S. senator Bob Casey is considered vulnerable being located in a state that voted for President Trump. One of the most vulnerable Democratic senators in Congress is Missouri senator Claire McCaskill. Her state voted for Donald Trump by 57% to Hillary Clinton’s 38%. She has to desperately look as moderate as possible, her Republican attackers will put up ads “Clare’s people think every last one of you is a racist Nazi,” and pair photos of her in ballrooms with Nancy Pelosi set to dramatic music. See how this works?
This obviously has Democratic strategists in a pickle.
It’s very obvious what next year will be like. The worst footage from protest demonstrations will be put on display in campaign advertising and all the claims that Democratic pundits and authors have made claiming America is festooned with 64 million gas-chamber-murdering Nazis. Everyone who voted for Donald Trump is a Nazi. They’re all Nazis. Every [bleep] last one of them is a [bleep bleep] Nazi.
There are few Republicans up for re-election in 2018 who are really vulnerable. Those 64 million Trump voters still have access to ballot machines and they can still vote. Calling every Trump voter a Nazi, as so many of you have done, is not going to be forgotten. That projection is going to come back to haunt people. It terrifies people who actually do politics as part of their career; namely pundits, campaign strategists and party officials.
Bye Bye Black Bloc
For those of you who love putting on black bandanas it’s going to get interesting as most of your conformist liberal friends grow from disagreement to disavowing political alignment and then that may even contort into a clear divide and perhaps even separation and you two blocking each other on social media. The liberal voting mass will listen to their “smart friend” who is trying to help out Senator Casey or Save Claire! and feel less inclined to march with you. It may turn into complete ostracization at political rallies and events. Political expediency will demand this. It’s a political singularity that is a certainty. You will not be able to escape it. For those of you who are liberal and hold down a corporate job: as you’ve been more than welcoming to extremism these last few months your new-found discovery that extremism is bad and unproductive in politics will force you into logic pretzels you never thought possible. You’ll cope by ignoring most of the shit you’ve said or done because there’s a ring on the merry-go-round that needs to be grabbed. You can’t have any of your more far-left and green friends holding you back.
The mass within American Leftism will fracture over the 2018 midterm election cycle: die-hard Marxist shits will be left out in the cold and the DSA folks (I see ya, red rose labour folks… hi! 😜) struggling over the rift and process-trusting neo-liberals flock like geese to the calls of pundits and media and mags for another uphill electoral challenge.
Protesting in general might alter course–going on about traditional things. Like, you know, what were those things called again? Oh yeah… issues. And protest organizers–those of the more organized variety–may even be more forceful at keeping the little shit-stirrers out. You don’t need any more embarrassing YouTube video clips of AntiFa protestors chanting “NO USA AT ALL“.
.... and so on (more at the site but you get the idea)
The left & Nancy Pelosi might be disavowing Antifa, but I haven’t heard Paul Ryan or Gary Cohen, or Jeff Flake, John McCain or Mitt Romney disavowing anybody - anybody other than President Trump.
Just remember that President Trump was the first to denounce them.
Winning.
I’m glad most of them are nowhere near as prescient as this writer. They’re going to get whacked next year unless something big happens.
Maybe some of them will actually grow up?
Naaaahh... Just kidding.
I hope Antifa keeps on smashing windows, lighting fires, and throwing urine bombs, just as this author points out - its great publicity.
Hell, we can really get them riled by having Ann Coulter or Milo Yiannopoulous simply schedule talks in places where they congregate. The Conservative speakers don’t even need to show up - just get the Antifa clowns out on the street.
The other hammer that is going to drop on ANTIFA will be the terrorist/sedition prosecutions backed up to audio/video from infiltrated FED agents within their ranks.
Would be great to be able to pin some RICO on their financiers also.
Well I won’t be holding my breath.
exactly, we’ll see.

““Democrat” and “leftist” are not synonymous terms”
It’s a distinction without a difference!
Y'all are no fun.
I kind of with Bannon hadn’t told them. I don’t think they would have figured it out for a while yet if he’d kept his mouth shut.
Something big is happening right now in Texas. And it's not to the Lefts liking.
Texicans of all stripes are pulling together to help each other. They are not dividing along leftist odained lines. When the waters recede they are going to continue to work together to clean up and to rebuild in an effort much like that of WWII. And the results will be better than before.
Being libertarian? What does that mean?
Axelrod 'figured it out' after Bannon went public with the idea... WOW I'm like soooooooo impressed. /s
