Dems are smarter than we are.
They play the long game.
For us it’s 100% or nothing.
So we lost the war for America.

Well either Trump will win again or he hastened the civil war by decades maybe.
Or both.
We owe him for making us see how many are actually against the constitution and against us.
And boy are there a lot.
With msm as a wing of the dem party, I think no dem that wins a seat should be recognized by us.
Especially the presidency.
I also think that regardless of who wins there will still be violence and perhaps an all out war will come.
Better now than 20 years from now when another generation is brainwashed.

Yes, and I feel theres a corollary to this regarding repeating of other peoples slogans. Take the nature of the slogan Black Lives Matter. Out of context, its a simple statement.
But Ive been asked - so why wont you say it?
And I say - I dont repeat other peoples slogans, as it means Im allowing others to do my thinking for me. words affect the structure of reality.
The Reply I get is: Perhaps - but theres nothing wrong with the slogan. its true, isnt it?
To which I say: OK, but first, you must repeat a similarly simple slogan I give to you. Ready? It is Make America Great Again.
At that point, they either laugh, or I get a F*** You!”

We are such idiots. We deserve what we get.
A lot of us see it all happening and don't do enough about it.
But a lot of those around us already have their frogs fully cooked and have bought in completely.

This is how bribes are done in the United States too. It's why ethical newspapers don't allow reporters to accept even as much as a cup of coffee. First it's the coffee. Then a small pastry... Then a book or a favor... then tickets to a concert...then money. Big money. And it's over.
People who do government inspections are set up with small bribes first - same with other government workers. It all leads up to getting $5,000 a minute for 'speeches' given to Arabs. A la Hillary - then compromised crooks changing laws so their 'bribes' become 'legal'...
Yes, the Chinese did this... but the technique's as old as time and evil.
If you read a story about a person arrested for taking a $10,000 bribe it's NOT his first. No one starts at the $10,000 level...
The first time a man's unfaithful to his wife he sweats the first kiss... later he won't give two thoughts to being unfaithful. Incremental degradation of the soul... wait 'til you see the end result of the concessions to black lives matter...

Ping. Here is an example of how constant pressure and propaganda combine to get people to adopt ideas which the government wants them to adopt.

[This is an interesting thread on how small compliance leads to complete ideological domination.
It was shared by a guy on Twitter identified below. Please comment if you’ve studied the subject of compliance. ]
I’m skeptical. The Chinese starved recalcitrant Americans to death. A higher % of American POW’s died in Chinese custody than under Imperial Japan. It was, IMO, the #1 reason Eisenhower should have bombed and strafed Chinese forces across the Yalu river - to deny supplies to the Chinese military and roll up their entire army on the Korean peninsula.

Its because we are open about goals, the left isnt
because if they were open about them no one would support them
so they need to get there slowly, incrementally

its like being tempted by satan
if he just comes out and says he wants all people to suffer and die the vast majority will not join him
but if he does it incrementally and doesnt say his end goal, people happily join in

One of the better vanities, really makes one think and take a hard look at where we’re going. Thanks for posting.

Exactly. That’s how we got here: all of those “The conservative case for ...” articles.

Im taking this back to the other thread where it belongs. Did you grasp the primary point of this thread? That forcing small concessions can eventually get people to concede everything?
Pressure works. Especially government pressure with threat of jailing if you disagree.

This thread is about how effective manipulations of opinion are. It seems reasonable to discuss examples of that same phenomena here.

This thread is about how effective manipulations of opinion are. If it's any consolation, your confederacy apologetics have done nothing to convince me of anything.
