No Substitute for Victory

Who would have ever thought that the United States could face a coup attempt against its duly elected President? But for all intents and purposes that’s what’s going down. It’s a derivative of an old-fashioned third-world banana republic mob-style coup that is brewing against Donald Trump.

-----

The real issue is that the party of the left -- the Democratic Party -- lost the presidential election and its members lost their minds. The defeat of their seasoned, if corrupt, liberal heir apparent to an inexperienced politically incorrect Republican candidate was shocking and unacceptable, and has triggered new levels of outrage and intolerance. Combined with the Democrats’ losing streak at the state and national ballot box every single election -- for a grand total of 1,042 state and federal seats lost by Democrats to Republicans -- during the Obama years, it’s all just too much to take. And unwilling to accept the outcome of the people’s choice of Trump and fearing the loss of power and control, many Democrats and their base in the mainstream and social media have become desperate -- cranking up hatred and mob-behavior to obstruct and discredit President Trump and to peel off weak Republicans from supporting him.

An emotional mob psychology has been unleashed and is out to get Donald Trump and intimidate and divide his party. The locus of this mob is not among the unwashed masses in the rural areas, but rather it is among the leftist elites who inhabit urban America -- people who shape the culture through the knowledge, information and entertainment industry -- the base of the Democratic Party.

Obama himself was a coup attempt was he not?

The Right needs to get clear: the fight is for

the recovery of our Free Constitutional Republic.

DON'T ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS because anything less is more Leftist tyranny.

I don’t always RTFA, but this time I’m glad I did. I’d recommend it - the article is very thoughtful.

They're going to look good decorating trees.

If they win, they'll go back to using the IRS against us, like the Clintons and Zerobama did, and they'll use government wiretapping against us like Zerobama did.

No quarter.

I have felt for a while the Demoncrats would rather destroy this Republic than lose control of it for 4 or 8 years. Of course I would also have to include the Established Republicans in on that. Collectively they are the Progressive One World Government Party.

Democrats are concerned only with their own appetites.

Thsy don’t care one whit how much permanent damage they are doing to the country.

The Constitution, laws, ethics and morality are nothing to them.

Great and valid points.

But IMO, there is another piece to the equation: Many on the left are guilty of serious crimes (bribery, corruption, pedophilia, murder, treason, fraud, embezzlement, ... ) and they are terrified that the Trump administration won’t protect them and continue to cover up those crimes.

Often when their behavior doesn’t seem to make sense, if you stop to look at it with the assumption that they are guilty of serious crimes and are afraid of being found out and held to account, the behavior suddenly does make sense.

The favored witch drunk didn't win and now so-called 'elites' want to take down a duly elected President of the United States?

It's high treason boys...

The 'deep state' serves at the pleasure of the people - they are NOT our rulers, kings or queens. When they move to take down a duly elected President in a democratic country they' nothing more than criminals - banana republic thugs - quislings... nothing more.

Note to Freepers: You cannot win this war without bullets.

The bullets I am speaking of is a free and impartial press.

Who would have ever thought that the United States could face a coup attempt against its duly elected President?
Anyone who lived through Watergate and the Bill Clinton “impeachment” knows that no Democrat will ever be impeached, and no Republican should face a higher standard.

We know that wire service journalism is “associated” journalism - and that “associated” journalists are not independent thinkers. Journalism is bad news, and journalists sign on for that mission knowing that “if it bleeds, it leads.”

We also know that journalism, knowing that it is negative, claims to be objective. Since "negativity = objectivity” is a fine definition of cynicism, we know that journalism is cynicism.

And we observe that there is a distinction only, and no difference, between a “liberal” and a journalist. Observing that, we realize that neither journalists nor “liberals” have any substantive reason to vindicate the nominal distinction between them. Whether they be journalists or “liberals,” cynics are “birds of a feather."

They are much crazier after this election than ever before because, I think, they thought they had crossed a threshhold with Obama that Republicans could never recover from. They had previously been content to make gains until a Republican administration, keep those gains from being rolled back, then eventually get a Democrat in, make more gains, and so on. Reagan threw them for a loop because he set them back quite a bit, but Clinton got them back in the game and then Obama took them faster and farther than anyone had even contemplated before. Getting things like Obamacare, gay marriage, transgenders in the military, defanging the military (which had always stood as a check to democrat overreach), a foreign policy that empowered America’s enemies, unchecked muslim and mexican immigration to wipe out native Americans—all these were part of the end game for destroying old American and bringing about the new, communist America they have all dreamed of.

They didn’t expect Hillary to lose, and she would have won, against any Republican but Trump. Trump was literally a Godsend, a final, desperate chance by America to remanl a constitutional republic. And what a stroke of fortune! What are the odds that a popular TV personality and real estate billionaire would leave his comfortable luxury lifestyle and take on the powers that be and the people who have literally trillions at stake in the globalization process? Slim to none. Very few would ever do it again, after seeing what Trump had to endure. The nation was this close >< to being over.

Their fury can be boiled down to two things: They thought elections were over, and Republicans were so over. And they thought that progressive gains under Obama were now locked in, and there would only be continued debasement, not rollback. They could have taken one or the other and not been so crazy. Bush II, for example. They were only slightly deranged by his caretaker administration. He only hurt them on taxes, but he couldn’t make them permanent. He tried on immigration, loved unfair trade deals, fought wars half-heartedly. But Trump won, and is rolling them back, and if they don’t obstruct, he can undo everything that Obama did. This they can’t accept.

They do not want another Reagan, who keeps them from their goal for 30 years. They want it all, NOW! So we have to understand that we are up against an implacable enemy, and the gloves are off. The smiles of Bill Clinton while he fooled ‘em are replaced by the brass knuckles and bike locks of the Obama brigades. They are not going back.

Good post.

Also

Trump saved America. Obama was adding government regulations at 100,000 pages of government regulations per year(link is below). How long do you think America could have survived that kind of onslaught with Hillary ? Not long. Trump gave up the best lifestyle to save America. Yes the buck stops with him and we owe him everything. Trump is massively reducing government regulations (linkS below).

Trump saved us from the Abyss. The only reason any of you have freedom , a free Internet, and property is because of Trump who is massively reducing the millions of pages of government regulations Clinton,Bush and Obama added:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/03/27/trump-signs-four-bills-roll-back-obama-era-regulations/99690456/

Obama and Clinton and Bush were adding close to 100,000 pages of government regulations per year . Continuing that with Pence or Hillary will destroy America completely.

Trump gave up his billionaire lifestyle to give America one more chance. We have a chance as long as Trump is president. Let's not let him down

Your points are exactly correct. That’s why it’s so important that we keep supporting this president and his agenda any way we can to encourage him and his team to stay strong.

There's no doubt you are correct.

They were so darn certain that Clinton would be elected and continue the leftist reign of corruption that they just threw all caution to the wind.

Look how brazen they became with their lying, cheating and law breaking during the campaign and how that conduct has continued in their attacks against president Trump.

The election was about getting the country back closer to it’s roots & there was little choice about how to do that as to deciding between Hillary & Mr. Trump. I know some won’t agree with that that,but they are mostly made up of the deluded bunch that had voted for Obama.
