>>Especially regarding its active corrosion of foundational moral values. Starting with that of truth telling. And the worst thing normal Americans can do is to try to beat the left by becoming the left.
You obviously don’t know Alinsky’s Rules except in an abstract sense. You don’t have to lie to use them. The Left has to lie because the only way the rules work for them is through strawmen and absurd absolutes. We can use them with absolute truth.
But using them does require us to come down off our high horse and fight in the mud. We can stay up there on that horse and they will pull us off when it is convenient for them. Your high morals mean nothing to them. Those morals do not impress them or make them want to be better people.
They are calling for impeachment and assassination and you are acting like this is a freaking board game in a living room.
Well then, now this sounds very different. Maybe you’re talking about some strategy that didn’t really originate from Alinsky. Seems to me he used old ideas and mixed them with a anti-morals philosophy.
As for the rest—here are two basic and extremely different reasons to speak of morals. One, morals for the sake of appearance. Two, for the sake of the morals themselves. My usual assumption is that everyone knows the second is the only consideration.
