If it weren’t for the effectiveness of lies and the gullibility of the masses there would be no democrat party.
As Jamie Glazov, a student of the left, has observed in an article about the middle-class defenders of recently captured Seventies terrorist Kathy Soliah: if you can successfully camouflage your own pathology and hatred with a concern for the poor and the downtrodden, then there will always be a progressive milieu to support and defend you. Huey Newton, George Jackson, Angela Davis, Bernardine Dorhn, Sylvia Baraldini, Rubin Hurricane Carter, Mumia Abu Jamal, H. Rap Brown, Rigoberta Menchu and innumerable others have all discovered this principle in the course of their criminal careers............The first truth about leftist missionaries, about believing progressives, is that they are liars.
One must observe the steps the lying swine composed of a coalition of Democrats and pro-socialists proceed through on the way to their objectives. Build a Potemkin village, of imagined problems, then exclaim with horror of the very worst things that could happen.
“We have to fix this NOW!” is their first proclamation, and when inquiries are made as to how, invariably, the “solution” is always to “tax the rich”, as if that action alone will solve the problem. As is soon to be made clear, it won’t. The “rich” merely take strategies to preserve and continue to multiply their wealth, and short of outright confiscation or expropriation, there is no way to tax wealth. Income, yes, and tangible property, yes, but wealth is more a state of mind than actual possession of goods and services.
So once they have managed to gather a sufficiently large coalition, get “public opinion” on their side (sometimes this takes years, but what’s time to a pig?), and finally establish some kind of regulatory authority to (a) collect even more taxes, this time from the “less than rich”, and (b) severely punish those who cannot or will not comply. This is sure to bring a ringing outcry from those great multitudes now burdened with the new rules (and taxes), and the rage takes some very drastic and sometimes highly articulated form. Pitchforks and torches are not the only means of raising protest.
The Democrats and associated pro-socialists know they are surrounded and probably much outnumbered, but they have not left themselves without defenses. Their first line of response is “So what? We won!” This is clearly inadequate as a long-term strategy, which leads to a lot of not-so-subtle propaganda and refutation of the accusations being made. In many places in the world, this is enough, if the military and paramilitary forces are brought in to squelch the unrest. But supposing they do not have the physical police power on their side, they are driven to another tactic.
They dance from one foot to the other, their hands over their ears, loudly proclaiming LA-LA-LA-LA in hopes that people will just go away.
Then, in a most ingenuous manner, they say, “nobody has complained, most people must LIKE what we are doing.”
The Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut (or “Spite Hut”) comes to resemble a combination of both LBJ and Richard Nixon in their last days. Impotent, isolated and presenting every appearance of being incompetent.
