OK, OK — That’s right, I read the whole intestine’s worth of tripe, just so I could see if, anywhere, the writer would find a little truth in her crispy-fried, blackened heart.

Nope! Not a word about “maybe working-class whites (gag on the nomenclature, yech!) woulda voted Dem if we’d have put forth (ta-dah!) a better candidate”! Ya think?

These people are so stupid. They couldn’t find their ass with both hands and a flashlight.

Democrats: Just go away. Permanently.

We wish. Dims are like herpes. You never get rid of it!

Maybe those voters are figuring out that the Left wants to exterminate them. Literally.

They still don’t get it. And that’s a good thing.

That’s why we need to do everything possible to seal the bond with the crossover Dems whose party left them before the Left’s Reagan/Bush/Trump is Dumb narrative coalesces.

They’re starting every war they can think up to de-legitimize his win (false-flag violence/terrorism is next), but this time around the MenSeekingMen don’t control the narrative anymore, we do. The perfect storm for their final destruction if we do this right, a big, shiny silver bullet right through their brainpan.

If the degenerate marxist animals continue to spread lies and black propaganda in a ceaseless attempt to undermine Trump and by extension white Americans, there is no downside to actually doing what they accuse the right wing of doing.

Destroy the domestic enemy without mercy.

The white working class IS voting its own interests. Why vote for Hillary who supports amnesty and mass immigration? Immigrants take jobs and depress wages.

But there seems to be universal agreement, at least among the Democratic politicians and strategists I’ve interviewed, that the party’s actual ideas are the right ones.

The echo chamber agrees. Of course it does.

>>Why the white working class votes against itself

Straight out of the Communist Manifesto. Marx rants about the petit bourgeois as being the traitors in the class struggle because they should side with the “workers” (who were actual workers in the 19th century and not the Gibsmedats the Progs call “workers” today), but they choose to side with the capitalists because they want to be capitalists one day.

They rejected those policies because they did not work and would not work.

Five reasons why Shrillary lost:

1. Shrillary spoke to teens--the worst voters in the world.

2. She spoke to Hispanics, notoriously conservative, though they will always accept free tacos at any rally. So they DIDN'T vote for her.

3. She assumed that since she had the press in her pocket she was a shoe-in.

4. Her hubby DIDN'T SOAK the media with: "Vote for mah wife; she's the BEST!"

5. She totally ignored her Democrat male base.

**I didn't make this up. This was the consensus from BOTH sides.

The opportunity for the Final Solution for the Left is here, right now, if we plan the shot right.

99% of Trump voters just said they’d do it again, only 96% of HRC voters do. They’re still convulsing, end them before they re-load.

I’ll never cease to be amazed at the capacity for libs to completely ignore facts in front of their face while simultaneously convincing themselves that they are smarter than any one else. This cognitive dissonance makes them unstable and agitated.

I always wondered why they voted for the Democrat, oh she is talking about voting Republican. It’s a very simple answer. We like lots of opportunities for employment.

Dreaming..Cut the federal budget in half and tell individual states to make up the difference.
Would give states a lot of power and keep the federal government in check.

You and your comrades on the Left first need to open your eyes, take your hands off of your ears, stop shouting la-la-la-la and for crying out loud, quit the stomping of your feet.
