Who is this document by and for?
We: Are former progressive congressional staffers who saw the Tea Party beat back President Obama’s agenda.
We: See the enthusiasm to fight the Trump agenda and want to share insider info on how best to influence Congress to do that.
You: Want to do your part to beat back the Trump agenda and understand that will require more than calls & petitions.
You: Should use this guide, share it, amend it, make it your own, and get to work.
...
Together, we have the power to resist - and we have the power to win.
We know this because we’ve seen it before. The authors of this guide are former congressional staffers who witnessed the rise of the Tea Party. We saw these activists take on a popular president with a mandate for change and a supermajority in Congress. We saw them organize locally and convince their own members of Congress to reject President Obama’s agenda. Their ideas were wrong, cruel, and tinged with racism - and they won.

I'm posting it because I think that Trump supporters need to be aware of what's out there.
RE Posting it:
Absolutely. Know your Enemy.
I’m all for keeping them on the ropes and pummeling them further.
The democrat party has become more of a threat to our way of life than the Russians are.
They: Don’t have an IQ point to share.
They: Have “degrees” in applied nothingness.
They: Have never had a REAL job.
They: Are the enemy and should be treated appropriately.
Well, SOMEBODY'S ideas were wrong, cruel, and racist. I'm not sure it was the Republicans' though.
And they won.
I'm going to repeat that, just because it tastes so good.
And they won.
Yummmmmm!
“...What they all have in common is a deep hatred for you,...”
That’s fine. It’s good to despised by the despicable. Mission Accomplished.
And you are entirely correct oh8. Any shred of “democrat” in that party has long since been locked in the cellar.
The Taxed Enough Already Party didn’t get Obama to cut taxes. He expanded them with Obamacare and made them confiscatory.
Stalinists lie. Always
“ROMMEL... YOU MAGNIFICENT B*STARD I READ YOUR BOOK!!!!”
Great line and perfectly delivered by GCScott!!!
(Except it was Heinz Guderian who wrote “the book”... “Achtung! Panzer!” (1937) and “Mit Den Panzern in Ost und West” (1942)).
Yes, we need to know the rules too.
They: cannot win on ideas
They: can only win with treachery and criminal acts
They: can never become organized, because at root they are fractured and undisciplined
They: can only depend on having enough Soros money to hire the work that needs to be done
Conclusion: We: don’t have to worry about Them as much as we have to go after criminal shadow money enterprises that fund Them
This kind of stuff is needed to keep the leftists from actually coming around and seeing the common sense and effectiveness of Trump’s (our) agenda. You have to keep them fighting against racism and stuff so they don’t get turned.
Apparently not, if you look at the state of the Democrat Party and how many elected seats have been lost since Zero became the President.
The Tea Party’s ideas were wrong and their behavior was often horrible. Their members:
•Ignored reality and made up their own facts
•Threatened anybody they considered an enemy
•Physically assaulted and spat on staff
•Shouted obscenities and burned people in effigy
•Targeted their hate not just at Congress, but also fellow citizens (especially people of color)
We are better than this. We are the majority, and we don’t need petty scare tactics to show that our cause is just.

My god! These people are completely delusional!
From 1996-1999, I served as press secretary for our local Republican Congressman. I was one of a rare breed, in that I was located in the local district office, not the Washington, DC “swamp.” And, unlike my peers, I was NOT a party member (I remained a registered independent, and did NOT get involved in election campaigns.
It is laughable that these alleged “Progressive congressional staffers” claim they have based this “practical guide” “to replicate the Tea Party’s success in getting Congress to listen to a small, vocal, dedicated group of constituents.”
The Clinton Campaign, the Obama Administration, the Democratic Party, and various Leftist interest groups have advanced a bewildering series of “explanations” as to why Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential election. In this silly document, “congressional staffers” actually CREDIT the so-called “Tea Party.”
But Donald Trump was not the “Tea Party” candidate. This reads like a first-draft written in case Ted Cruz had become the Republican nominee. Someone must have decided to dust it off, edit the first few paragraphs, and put it out there in the absence of any other coherent “plan” to oppose the Trump agenda.
Good luck with that.
The document reveals that these “congressional staffers” have no clue why and how the “Tea Party” movement formed and why it has been successful. The “Tea Party” was an organic, bottom-up movement of Constitutionalists.
But this “practical guide” is just one more re-write of the same old top-down “community organizer” playbook the Democrats have been using for more than a century. Leftist agitators employed every single one of these tactics in our congressional district during the years I served (and that was at a time when “their guy,” Bill Clinton, was President).
Moreover, during the 2016 campaign, the Left employed all of these radical tactics to guarantee victory ... and they LOST not only the Presidency but also both houses of Congress. So, here’s hoping this playbook is circulated as widely as possible and adhered to faithfully by the Progressive Majority. Anything that helps their side become further marginalized is just fine by me.
Just came across this as well.
It’s helpful to know the tactics and mindset of America’s (delusional) enemies.
The GoogleDocs link is being overwhelmed and may go down so here is their website https://www.indivisibleguide.com/
Yeah they do want an email address but that’s why you should have a throw-away one for things like this and signing up for democrat party updates.
Ya gotta know what the enemy is up to...
