The Left's Ongoing Campaign to Denigrate Trump Supporters
Townhall.com ^ | January 29, 2021 | David Limbaugh

If the first week of leftist insanity gushing from President Joe Biden's executive pen doesn't vindicate Donald Trump's supporters in full measure, I don't know what could. Scratch that. There is much more to come.

Trump supporters have long touted the former president's impressive policy achievements as proof they were wise in supporting him and correct that an outsider could get results.

We've learned in the past few months who is running this country: the media, the social media oligarchy, cancel culture and leftist dark money being poured into the system. These forces have weaponized identity politics and empowered the Democratic Party to regain control and move this country leftward at warp speed, which means destroying prosperity and jobs.

Trump haters have been salivating for years over an opportunity to finally bring him crashing down in disgrace, and take his allegedly evil supporters along with him -- never to rise again and impede their progressive agenda.

They tried for Trump's entire term to overturn the results of the 2016 election. They engaged in a coordinated effort to undo what the voters had done, corrupting our security agencies and our government institutions to lead a soft, sophisticated coup that makes Jan. 6 look like amateur hour.

With assists from the media and the rest of the leftist political and cultural establishment, these forces escaped accountability and proceed as cavalierly as ever, as if nothing ever happened. In a particularly in-your-face move, these bullies have designated one of the central players in the coup, Rep. Eric Swalwell, to be an impeachment manager in their post-term impeachment gambit.

This Trump-hating cabal is convinced it finally hit pay dirt with the events of Jan. 6. With ferocious intensity, they're pushing the narrative that Trump himself incited an insurrection to violently overturn the government.

Feel free to debate Trump's culpability in all this (and ignore his express words calling for a peaceful march), but you should take a moment to reflect on this bad-faith attempt to tie rank-and-file Trump supporters to this event and viciously depict all of them as radical white supremacists.

The overwhelming majority of Trump supporters have consistently condemned violence no matter the source. They did not and would not support the storming of the Capitol. No matter how vociferously the left claims otherwise, the millions of Trump supporters are still America-loving, Constitution-respecting, rule of law-advocating patriots. Despite the left's best efforts, Jan. 6 does not discredit Trump supporters. This is not merely a technical point, because Trump haters want to vilify all of us both as a matter of pride and to render us impotent as a political movement.

As part of this, they seek to malign the millions of Christian Trump supporters as having sold their souls and betrayed their faith. Certain prominent Trump haters have viciously and personally denounced the Christian right. Meanwhile, they have little to say of Biden's already unveiled leftist extremism and his dedication to a godless, pro-death agenda.

These Trump-loathing Christian bashers speciously complain about our poor witness for having supported Trump. But what of their own witness in categorically slandering Christian Trump supporters who, in good conscience, supported him for the good of the nation -- and still have no apologies for doing so, especially considering the undeniable alternative?

In his recent piece, New York Times columnist Thomas Edsall cites the book "Taking America Back for God," by college professors Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry, who describe Christian nationalism as including "assumptions of nativism, white supremacy, patriarchy and heteronormativity, along with divine sanction for authoritarian control and militarism."

Edsall cites another recent book, "The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism," by Katherine Stewart, in which she describes the Christian right as "a political movement" and says "its ultimate goal is power. It does not seek to add another voice to America's pluralistic democracy, but to replace our foundational democratic principles and institutions with a state grounded on a particular version of Christianity."

According to Perry, "The Capitol insurrection was as Christian nationalist as it gets." Perry points to "the use of sacred symbols during the insurrection such as the cross, Christian flag, Jesus saves sign, etc." and "the language of the prayers offered by the insurrectionists," presumably to show all Christian Trump supporters are white revolutionary anarchists.

The glaring irony is that Christians are not the fascists in this equation. They do not support a Christian theocracy, though they believe they should have a voice along with other individuals and groups in society. They oppose authoritarianism and fascism, which is actually the calling card of the Trump-hating left, and they would never attempt to silence others who disagree with their politics or religion. They are not the victimizers in this war on speech but the victims of the very leftists who falsely accuse them.

Neither white supremacists nor any other kind of rioting misfits from the right represent anything but a minute fringe of the Trump movement. To suggest otherwise is grossly disingenuous.

Fellow Christians on the political right and fellow Trump supporters: Don't be disheartened or defeated by these efforts to stereotype us as violent and authoritarian. It is just another one of the abominable lies these fascist forces are disseminating to dispirit and weaken us and thus greenlight their ongoing assault on our values and institutions.

These are the enablers of the denigration campaign:

Its chilling as a photo, but it is who they are, liberal fascist oligarchs.

This described back in 2008, what was going to happen:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html)

During Obama’s Arab Spring , especially in Egypt, Google, Facebook and Twitter were active in providing the platforms which resulted in the Muslim Brotherhood seizing power there and organizing the massive demonstrations and protests against Mubarak.

The movers for this on the ground were Muslim grad students from Libya, Syria , Egypt, Gaza and many other places, Hillary Clinton’s State Department conducted seminars and courses at various Universities that educated these students on the use of internet platforms to create the subversive networks which resulted in the chaos and deaths, which in Egypt were put down by the military. They lost in Egypt , Syria to the dictators and to the Russians who were acting to secure the soft underbelly of Russia from the millions of Muslim refugees that would have entered there through Crimea, which is why Putin annexed Crimea.Instead the Muslim refugee masses were forced to enter Europe. Libya was destroyed on a Progressive whim and a grift by Obama on NATO. The Great Man Made River , the greatest hydrology project in the modern era which led to massive food supply for the country was destroyed.

Yet no one really speaks of these disasters brought about by the liberal fascists of America as they plied their sordid politics throughout Africa and the Middle East.

Now these internet oligarchs ply their sordid trade here in America, and they are the greatest threat to our Liberty and Civil Rights this nation has ever faced in the modern era.

Chilling is exactly the right word. But it is a true descriptor as we surrender US infrastructure to China , encouraged by these oligarchs.

They can and will take down and cancel Trump supporters without a twitch, unless we fight back.

Polly connects some dots as usual. (however, was surprised when she brings up Clinton-connected Chef Jose Andes & Pelosi that she forgets to include the recent story about them joining up to feed the National Guard, because Polly mentioned that in a recent video). probably worth digging more into this story though:

I couldn’t believe what I read in a little story about a restaurant located a block from the White House...

I really don’t think the Left “denigrating” Trump supporters is the big problem here.

They’ve been doing that for years.

They are now using words like “reprogramming”. You don’t even need to know much history to understand THAT.

Their fear and desperation is yet more proof of the steal.

We have to hope that the Biden coup screws up big time. I would bet a severe financial or a foreign crisis would divert energies from a domestic pogram on Trump supporters. Our best strategy is to withdraw our support from the government and sabotage its policies as best we can.

Who is John Galt.

With the rank of only SS-Obersturmbannführer (only four collar tabs)? That's equivalent to "Lieutenant Colonel."

Sometime ago, two years into the O administration, I wrote we were in the midst of a communist takeover and we were very rapidly reaching the point where terror on the citizens was going to be needed to keep moving it forward.

It took a little longer than I anticipated (only because of normalcy bias, lack of American memory and ability of humans to get comfortable with less, well, comfort)

But, here we are.

Its an old photo, from 2013, and since then they have been promoted to Generaloberst at the order of der Fuehrer Obama-Flügel.

A rank which didn't exist in the "regular" SS, but rather only in the "Waffen-SS."

Interesting.
