Nazi-Hunting Fantasies Have Unhinged The Left
The Federalist ^ | 08/21/2017 | Robert Tracinski

Posted on 08/21/2017 11:33:51 AM PDT by ForYourChildren

I’m worried that the Charlottesville riots are making the Left psychologically unhinged in the same way that they have been unhinged by the election of Donald Trump, only more so.

The problem with their reaction to Donald Trump is that he seems to so totally vindicate all of their political prejudices that he justifies an even more vicious vilification of anyone who opposes their agenda. Everyone who supports free market capitalism is a rich jerk who looks down on poor people? Check. Anyone who complains about political correctness just wants to be a sexist boor? Check. Anyone who talks hawkishly about Islamic terrorism must be driven by a neurotic need to prove his masculinity? Check. Anyone who doesn’t sign up for the latest iteration of the “diversity” agenda must harbor some kind of implicit sympathy for white nationalists? Yeah, well, check.

These things are not true of the overwhelming majority of people who hold those views. As applied to Trump, they are a bit exaggerated, but close enough to be plausible. So the Left is seduced by the temptation to take this as final proof that everyone who opposes them is just as irredeemably awful as they always suspected. And if that’s true, then there’s no point in making any effort to reach out to the rest of the country, to find out what people really think, to attempt to persuade them, or, God forbid, to learn anything from what they have to say.

“Now actual, real-life Nazis have materialized on the scene, and while the Ku Klux Klan was getting too geriatric to look all that scary, these guys are young and have a stronger sense of the theatrical, what with the matching outfits and chants and torches and all.”

The democrat/leftists creation Antifa are attacking the democrat/leftists creation KKK/Nazis.

The democrat/leftists are attacking each other.

The democrats are in their own civil war.

Let them fight each other.

Have the Democrats in Congress submitted a Bill to outlaw those Patio Tiki Torches yet?

No, they are not.

They are not even "in the same ballpark close".

They are not even "on the same planet close."

That the author would push this kind of lie means that he is not worthy of my time.

Robert Tracinski is a cannibal who rapes children and like wearing women's undies.

A bit exaggerated, but close enough to be plausible.

Due to the nature of its ideology the Left has always been unhinged. Its just more obvious than ever now.

Nazis ARE left, far left and very dangerous

the communist left has always tried to attack the nazi left

and vice-versa

but they are both almost the same in their political platforms (the commies add an internationalist plank while the nazis are nationalistic, but otherwise they are essentially IDENTICAL POLITICALLY and....) very left and very very dangerous

Let them fight each other. .................... Kinda like the remark that Harry Truman made about getting into WW II when Germany invaded the USSR.

So many targets! every person who is noto ne of them is a NAZI! It is merely the word for Them or for Other People. NAZI is to Progressives as Infidel is to Mohammedans.

What the name Nazi means:

Auschwitz: br>

Treblinka:

"Americans" who wear a similar uniform/costume and shout 'Zeigheil' are not unlike 'Star Trekkie's" in as much as adults like to dress up and pretend.....Anyone, Skinheads, White Supremacists, are emulating the worst of the worst vile killers humanity has ever known. Skinheads et al are not just stupid, they are morally bankrupt and brain dead. These terrorist groups must be outlawed in America.

I just looked at today’s Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Aug 21st 2017, it shows Trump has 42% approval.

Then I went back to Obama’s approval in his first year of office for Aug 21st 2009, same date and period of office and Obama only had 31% approval.

So as of right now, Trump’s approval is 11 points HIGHER than Obama’s was after 7 months in office.

The fact of the matter is, don’t believe the psyops coming from the dino leftist media, nor from the cheap labor open borders interests and their “Antifa Five” McCain, Graham, Collins, McConnell and that out of office Romney. While these Five go from despised to hated by the Republican base, the Democrats are literally putting a suicide belt on and destroying themselves while thinking they are gaining a winning ticket by becoming the voice of the anti-semitic communist Antifa, BLM terrorists and cop killers, adopting Kim Jong Un as their NeverTrump ally, putting up paintings of police with pig heads in their halls and offices, paintings of the Statue of Liberty with a hijab, hanging with the pro-NK World Workers Party that WANTS America nuked, on and on.

The Democrats think this is a winning ticket?

I can tell you right now it will only be a surprise to them when they lose more seats in 2018 because more losses are coming for the Democrats and CNN anchors will again look shocked at the cameras and ask “What happened?”...

Oh, as for McCain, Collins, McConnell - there is a reckoning coming. The Democrats started off early from day one of the primaries saying Trump is a rapist, a racist, fake news didn’t help this narrative and they failed in the end. After the election it was Trump is a communist Russian agent. We had the cheap labor Republican establishment join in on this one. Didn’t work. Now the line is that Trump is a member of the KKK. We even had the same handful of cheap labor Republicans touting communist Antifa lies thinking this will end Trump and the Growth Agenda and end the wall. But it won’t work, this is not only going to cost the Democrats more seats but likely cost the NeverTrump GOPe deadenders their power as well.

All the while every single Democrat and these handful of GOPe obstructionists have been trying to destroy the enomy by delaying tax cuts. But even that isn’t working out for them, deregulations by Trump have been enough to prevent that.

They won’t even see it coming, that is how deluded the NeverTrumpers are - they are screwed by screwing with the American people, and more losses for them are coming soon.
