It is time for the Republicans to immerse themselves in Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and use his tactics on the rats and other leftists.

Wish it were tree but the Democrats are utterly tone deaf and their ideology is their religion. I believe they will pursue and intensify these tactics until there is serious violence in the streets and a bunch of people are dead and another bunch of people are on their way to prison.

“Alinsky” is largely a set of amoral tactics and methods, not connected inherently to one or another political ideology.

There have been totalitarians, authoritarians, and charlatans since the beginning of time and the beginning of humanity and sin, and so there will always be Alinsky tactics for as long a humanity remains sinful and resources are scarce.

Alinsky tactics are a portion of the larger body of political tactics, which in turn are, by definition, all the various means of gaining power and what you want by means other than the merits of the thing of interest.

The corollary to Alensky is,
“There’s a sucker born every day.”

So, no we’re not done.

You must be joking. Most of the country did get their info about Palin from the left. They still think she chirped, “I can see Russia from my HOUSE!”

And they successfully palinize everyone they attempt to. Trump? You’re kidding, right? It will take a new generation being born for the people who believe him to be dumb and racist to die out.

Alinsky tactics work because of human nature. People would rather starve to death or be torn limb from limb than to be outcast and shamed. That is why “voodoo death” was so successful in primitive cultures 3000 years ago, and fear of ostracism is one of the most primary motivations in life today.

No, their tactics will have to fail 20 times or more before they stop using them.

Alinsky won’t end until states wise up and repeal 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments imo.

I think Alinski tactics work initially but will simply wear themselves out if not followed at a certain point by a full blown armed thug takeover.

No, communism/totalitarianism is all propaganda, all the time. Names change, names of sub-movements change — but the outright lie of communism will be with us until the end.

DeGaulle wrote the original manual on Tank Warfare and how to use this new technology to exploit a breakthrough.

Guderian and Rommel read it and used it, and refined it

Patton learned from Rommel.

Mao had at least an understanding of how George Washington won.

The Kavanaugh fiasco is only a warmup for when ruth gin passes on during President Trump’s watch.

The left owns US education, US media and half of US population mentality values socialism.

Also important here is they lost on the USSC Janus decision that started the end of the flow of government union money to the Democrats.

The Dems are in a panic because they know this is their last chance to get power again for a generation.

No way. Alynsky’s ilk represent a portion of the population that is mentally deficient and/or evil, which will always be around us. It is the age-old struggle of good versus evil. It is the same with criminals and crime in our society. It may ebb and flow but because it is endemic to humanity, it is reality. We must never get discouraged and we and our progeny, with the guiding hand of Devine Providence must keep up the good fight for humanity’s sake.

No.

Alinsky is hardwired into the Dem playbook. They will continue to use it. Once they ever get Trump out of the WH, things should return to ‘normal’.

Trump!

A Republican who fights back!

The nerve of him!

He sure has messed things up.

NO! Leftists/Commies NEVER give up or get discouraged. They will just adapt to changes. They always push, push, push. That means we have to always push, too. No quitting.

They are like the worst weeds in a garden. They throw out thousands of seeds and they all come up. They send out amazing roots that spread the plants. Some of them grow all day, all night, summer, winter, floods, drought. I can go out in my yard when it is 10 below and find green things. Some of them take multiple sprays of the best herbicides and they snap back. They aren't going extinct.

We have to continually fight. I read an article about weeds. A woman ask a gardener why he doesn't have any weeds. He pointed out a tiny little weed sprout. He pulled it and told her that that's as big his weeds ever get, every day. Vigilance and good work.

Leftists only quit when they are dead, but their names will live on as democrat voters.
