The lesson they “learn” will not be the one you think.
Exactly.
When Republican voters are “rebuked” they won’t tuck their tails and crawl home.
Oh, they’ll go home alright...and open their gun safe, and retrieve its contents.
These guys have no idea how lucky they are this revolution is being done at the ballot box.
The message they will hear is that they only way to get results is to do like Black Lives Matter, La Raza, and other leftist groups: riot in the streets.
God help us when the silent majority stops being silent and takes up the methods of the left, but if fools like this WSJ writer continue to eliminate their other options, the silent majority will take the last option available to them.
They keep speaking of this “lesson”, as if we had an infinite amount of time for a do-over, and failure to learn the consequences of the “lesson” would not be catastrophic.
There are only a few ways to get out of the way of an avalanche, and I do not believe this course of action would be effective.
Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. General George S. Patton would have gotten to Berlin a WEEK before the Russians, if, after the first crossing of the Rhine, he had not been called to stand fast by no less than FDR himself. The order was to PAUSE the advance near Oppenheim along the Rhine, and wait for Montgomery to catch up. Patton said later he should have smashed all his radios and made the surge anyway.
Patton would have utilized the captured German troops, armed them as provisionals, and not stopped the advance until he was in Moscow. Darned right the Allied High Command were collecitvely crapping their pants.
