NYT: Anti-Trump 'Resistance' Groups Pulling Big Money From Establishment Dems
Newsmax ^ | October 7, 2017 | Solange Reyner

Anti-Trump resistance groups are attracting big money from major liberal donors, creating a challenge to respected liberal institutions according to a report in The New York Times.

Groups like Flippable, Swing Left, Sister District, Women’s March and Indivisible have seen an uptick in donations since July when the Democracy Alliance gave its donors a “resistance map” with their names. Democracy Alliance is a network of progressive donors who coordinate their political donations to groups that the Alliance has endorsed.

“We’re in a disruptive period, and when we get through it, the progressive infrastructure landscape may look different,” Gara LaMarche, president of the Democracy Alliance, told the Times. “There may be groups that have been around that don’t rise to the challenge, and there may be some new groups that do rise to the challenge, while others fade away.”

Indivisible, created by two former congressional aides, started as an online guide for anti-Trump protestors on how to influence Congress.....

Another day, another Political Correctness scam for the deep state benefits. Now it is pronouncing the word Trump will result in a pogrom. The climate of fear and intimidation against the citizen by the deep state continues on.

The communists are back, in force. Their goal is not to win elections, but to violently overthrow the government, By Any Means Necessary (BAMN). They have the social justice movement as their “cause,” and 100,000 useful idiots to cause violence and mayhem. Their tactics will get worse. Alinsky is their guide. Fear and violence is their method, not winning elections.

Why do I have a gut feeling this is an attempt to fool lib’s into giving money to causes hurting for money?
Oh everybody is doing it so should you.
We don’t really need it but we will take it.

All the stuff about ‘grassroots and small donors - what a load of crap. Solange Reyner should know it’s all TOP DOWN in the democrat party - other than the short lived ‘bernie people’...

"You think the 50,000 new employees will all come from other states than Texas?"

Poor fools. They don't understand, that's not how you win.

You win by selling the voters on a more positive vision for the country - not hate and 'resistance'.

At the (OFA Affiliate) Community Organizing Institute in Chicago, you can learn how to spark riots, get arrested to make a political statement, organize lynch mobs and voter fraud on a massive scale, intimidate and shake down corporations, blackmail lenders, race-bait public officials and businesses into submission, smear and terrorize your opponents, shield illegal aliens from law enforcement, lead squatters to invade foreclosed homes, encourage welfare fraud, and use tax dollars to promote cockamamie social-engineering schemes.

Two little-known men had enormous influence during America’s runup to revolution. Algernon Sidney (1623-1683) and Saul Alinsky (1909-1972) were students of history and political science. Both advocated revolution when necessary, but toward opposing ends.

“respected liberal institutions”

Respected defined as the ones that throw fancy-dress, high-dollar manhattan parties, and invite them.
