The Left’s Rhetoric Is Running Into Reality, and They’re Getting Desperate

Labels. Language games. Imagery. Flooding. Keep the people reacting. At all costs keep them from thinking.

That’s the left’s strategy; do they have any other? Do they even need one? This one’s been working just great for them — up until the last week or so. Now it’s failing them. Badly. They don’t know what to do, and it shows.

I’m surprised the left allowed such a drastic shift in tactics that may backfire, albeit for the short-term. At the pace they were going, slowing transforming red states to purple then to blue, it is just a matter of time before conservatives will not be able to win the presidency.

Given what the public schools have done to their students, it’s a solid plan.

The Left Is So Much Better at This

At a certain point people will turn to "violent means" because they just want the godawful noise to stop. The Marxists have crossed the thresh-hold. And that sit on his fancy ass preppy deepster Wray won't lift a finger to move things along. Want to know what white privilege looks like. Wray is the spitting image of it.

Drain the swamp.
Defund government schools.
Open the media to lawsuits for all dishonest reporting.

These things won’t happen, but nothing is really going to be fixed until we find a way to re-establish an honest working relationship with Reality.

I think the strategy to blame the rioting on Trump was always the plan. They were just waiting for a Kyle Rittenhouse to show up. As soon as our side started to push back the plan was activated and MSM is all in of course. Now it is a constant narrative. I expect Wary to come out and say right wing militias have turned the mostly peaceful riots into what we are seeing.

That’s basically the Rats’ message.

“Get rid of Trump and we can make this all go away.”

It’s not like that part of their plan ever really stops. That is still going on, it’s just that their desire for “revolution” can cause a reaction that ends up slowing it down. Their plan is California from coast to coast.

Yep! It's a cancer that spreads quickly and turns into a stage 4 which leads to death...😢 My Texas at this very moment is in stage 3 going rapidly into stage 4! Austin is a mirror image of San Francisco because of the university AND the company boom that moved there in record numbers!! Austin isn't the town I remember when I lived there years ago! The corporation ruined it along with the socialist professors! DAMN SHAME!! The university stripe was so much fun after a longhorn football game victory...now, so sad!! Everything the Marxist rats touches turn into an incurable cancer....😡

When the elderly man was attacked in Michigan, the Democrats lost 2020. They doubled down on the elderly attacks and now the Democrats can’t erase the reality visual of the crumbling culture.Democrats own it due to their silence.

The left can’t meme. I find these more effective than bumper sticker slogans. Tired rhetoric is relatively easy to dismiss. It is used by the left as a deflection when they have no actual argument. Charlottesville, hands up don’t shoot, all proven lies still in common use when arguing with dims.

The left is so used to bullying its way to power that Trump was a shock to them. Democrat unhinged fury began on election night 2016 and hasn’t cooled down a bit since. From the top (BO White House, FBI, deep state, congress, Hillary, network media) to the bottom (college students and progressive soccer moms) the hatred and insanity has been non-stop.

This Summer the tactics are starting to stink like bad meat. Lecturing to us about our racism and xenophobia is tired and looks especially foolish as the riots and burnings are happening. Desperation will drive them deeper into TDS for months to come.

After Trump re-election democrats must call for democrat party reform. They must get this madness out of their system or they will be a raging dumpster fire for a generation.

So what. Those who will vote for Biden do not care about any facts. They know they are right and facts be damned. Their ONLY response is “F-off you racist (Insert white scum or Republican here)!!!”.

“This one’s been working just great for them — up until the last week or so. Now it’s failing them. Badly. They don’t know what to do, and it shows.”

This one’s been working just great for them — up until the last week or so.

Huh? WHEN was it working?

Again, THE FAKE POLLS. The above statement (I’m guessing) is based on FAKE POLLS.

What else has “been working just great for them”? NOTHING!

Biden is a mentally marginalized old perv. “Heels up”, Coma’la Harris (the halfrican ... wait... not “ANY” African, Ho) has added NOTHING to the ticket ‘cept ridicule and non-becoming cool slogans.

Their FAR left (Communist/Socialist) agenda is REJECTED by most Americans.

“Defund the police”? Is THAT a “winning” strategy?

Violence (beating old ladies in wheelchairs, raping women on train platforms in broad daylight, MURDER), rioting, looting, pulling down statues, burning churches, burning police cars, burning EVERYTHING is a “winning” strategy that up until now was WORKING?

Are you NUTS? These “middle of the road” guys are leftists. You are FOR or AGAINST killing innocent babies. Well, I’m “in the middle” on that one. Huh?

“Sometimes” it’s OKAY to KILL babies, but other times, it’s not.

What about Homos? Well, I’m “in the middle” on that one too. (I can’t say what I want to here) So you would be okay with one kind of sex with another man, but not okay with the other?

So, Violence (beating old ladies in wheelchairs, raping women on train platforms in broad daylight, MURDER), rioting, looting, pulling down statues, burning churches, burning police cars, burning EVERYTHING is okay with you?

As long as it started out as a “peaceful” protest.

Indeed.

Well-indoctrinated sheeple, moving as a herd wherever directed by the wolf in the sheep dog costume.

Hearing nothing from DeVos & PDJT on active, patriotic education reform is very worrying. America’s education system is a massive socialist indoctrination machine. It is the root of the social cancer in America.

We are past the tipping point, in my opinion. If we can get President Trump re-elected, that gives me a 4 year grace period before the shtf. I’ll be late 60s by then, hopefully I can weather the coming storm until my time is up.

I am a Boomer in name only, BINO? Boomers, in general, have gotten us into this mess. I’m conservative, I served, I did ok in my career. I did not cater to my kids, I didn’t encourage them to explore their feelings in their search for a career. None of my kids have their own self defined gender with their own crazy pronouns.

In short, Boomers disgust me. I don’t see a fight to be fought, we ALL laid down and gave the public schools to the left. Now, the bill is coming due.
