In 2016 Trump was a white nationalist, then a misogynist and pervert, then unfit for office, then he won in a landslide victory.

In 2017 Trump colluded with Russians, then he’s a dictator, then he’s unfit for office then he only won because of Nazis and KKK.

Rinse and repeat...liberals are as broke in ideas as Hollywood.

Normal American’s are getting very pissed at the demeaning mindless propaganda. And shocked at how many morons are actually out there.

The public doesn’t give a sh!t anymore.


It’s all static background noise...not one of these crisis issues impacts American lives in the least. Instead CNN/MSNBC/WAPO/NYT are just ginning up fanatics on the left to act out against those they don’t agree with.

Yet the media makes it inescapable. I picked up a WaPO the other day - first time in years, I just wanted to read the sports with breakfast - and what is one of the lead stories? Wizards player John Wall’s opinions on race in the US. John Wall is one heckuva b-ball player but I don’t think anyone would call him a deep thinker. Just to show.... you will be made to care.

Don’t get me wrong cause I truly believe these anti American groups were bused in.....I have no doubt the vast majority were paid actors, agitator scum....most likely paid by Soros & Clinton money, BUT in this day and age of everybody with phones recording everything......WHERE are the pictures of the buses? Where are the pictures of the 2 hate groups getting off those buses? Yes, I also have no doubt Youtube prob scrubbed anything posted there proving this. But you would think somebody who witnessed this has the pics on their phone....and would post it on social media...where no doubt, it would be shared and shared to the point that these lefty organizations who run FB, twitter, and the rest of social media could not keep up deleting them. We need proof...we need actual pictures and or video. Somebody has to have it?.....

Say that to George Clooney as he eclipses Pelosi and Schumer to become leader of the Democrat Party.He likely will be the next president of the United States, and will put the fiorst Muslim 1st lqady into the White Hut.( Alah Wahoo Whackbar.)

All of it a result of Bannon’s ouster.

Great article all the way through.

Except.... I didn’t get the last sentence. Can someone explain it to me? Was that what he meant to write or did he mean to say : “ the person you think is going to be wielding the power isn’t necessarily the person who *IS* wielding the power”.

What am I missing?

That’s what I assumed, but that’s not what he said.

I'm thinking that doing this for 8 years is going to look darn silly.

I remember they went overboard lunatic on Reagan, too. And I was quite liberal at the time--the MSM kept up this constant drumbeat of how bad Reagan was, how he was about to trigger WWIII at any second, etc. etc. At some point, I began to realize that the MSM was predicting all kinds of bad stuff that never happened. That was not what finally convinced me to reject liberalism, but it was a strong life lesson that did lay a good foundation.

I can't help but think that a lot of young people are going to have a similar realization when they see that the media breathlessly expounds on the evils of Trump over and over, and nothing pans out. The Russia narrative never had substance, and the media has suddenly dropped it. Trying to blame Trump for Charlottesville looks to be a flop, as well. The calls for impeachment are just plain silly--articles of impeachment filed for the reason that President Trump did not condemn Charlottesville events the way that some Democrat senator thinks they should have been condemned? Who can possibly live up to such a standard? And so on. Some young people are actually smart enough to figure out what's happening, and they will also drop their liberal indoctrination.

Well said.

I was in college when Reagan was elected. I knew Reagan was bad because everyone said he was bad. After awhile I realized that Reagan wasn’t bad — Reagan was great! Had a huge impact on me.

My daughter is in college now. Smart, disciplined, National Guard, focused on a medical career, Churchgoer. But, like many young people, she found Bernie Sanders attractive (free college tuition! Yee Haa!) Now that Trump is in office, she has commented that he is much better than she thought he’d be. I think the next 8 years will have a huge impact on her.

The media tries to wash a lot of brains — but sometimes young people wise up.

“ the person you think is going to be wielding the power isn’t necessarily the person who *IS* wielding the power

Schlicter has written a few articles about this in the past. Mostly on Harry Reid, who used the "Nuclear Option" - getting rid of the filibuster - to ram something or other through the Senate, only to have Republicans turn around and use the rules Reid put in place to get what *they* wanted, once they were in charge.

In this particular case, liberals are making free speech rules with the assumption that they'll always be the ones holding the whip. That's not the case, as we found out in 2016.

It's roughly the equivalent of "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."

Capice?
