Will a Hard-Left Turn Lead to Pushback?
National Review ^ | 2/4/2021 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 02/04/2021 5:03:47 AM PST by Onthebrink

The corruption of the Renaissance Church prompted the Reformation, which in turn sparked a Counter-Reformation of reformist, and more zealous, Catholics.

The cultural excesses and economic recklessness of the Roaring ’20s were followed by the bleak, dour, and impoverished years of the Great Depression.

Judging by the nonsense about mask wearing and social distancing being required even after the vaccine, the LEFT is preparing for another mail-in election.

Yea, I read that. To be perfectly honest about things it scares the crap out of me. What scares me even more was the talking head no doubt nodding its head in solemn agreement.

The killings will start in earnest soon, coming from one side or the other. Won’t matter which side starts it, either. Just enough to get the ball rolling so to speak.

Then like that one pebble that starts the avalanche all that pent up potential energy will go kinetic, as you like to say. Once that happens, well, be somewhere else if you can.

The trouble is we are fresh out of someplace else.

We are fighting for our Constitution. We are fighting against a controlled media; big tec; election fraud; importation of voting puppets; open borders; orchestrated planned replacement of legacy culture and white Christians under false premise; nullification of Constitution and Bill of Rights via court packing. Does the “left” and their globalist oligarch masters want full authoritarian control? Does a bear.......?

I’ll give the conservative media people a hint - and please, naysayers jump in here, prove the point I made yesterday - Trump operates on a let’s fix this model. It is a model in which all those who do not want to help must go- their choice. Sometimes the helpful are there for the team to learn about the people who would stop him from helping.

Trump appears mean to many an onlooker. Certainly to those listening to propaganda about trumps actions. Pundits rarely notice who it is to whom Trump is/seems mean.

Do the pundits notice what voters want? They should. They’ll be forgotten. The landslide - increased- majority who voted for Trump Is growing. Certainly not countering their own movement

The political class told the voters to shut up and do what you’re told. As insane as it is.

VDH thinks the people are going to ...what? Join this and turn against Trump

These are people who watch too much fox and newsmax. The fraud occurred.

Repugs may be in trouble in the midterms. I will not support or vote Republican again. They did not support or back DJT, so I will not support them. Many others feel this way, too.

At least if we get rid of the Repukes, it cuts the number of enemy parties in half.

I agree. The GOP is fully controlled by the GOPe.

Let them go the way of the Whigs.

I agree 100% what you said. We are being set up by the proverbial 1% who are provocateurs promoting the divide, internal anger and a false left right narrative.

“VDH is a talker and not a doer.”

Not to be a smart alec and a serious question, what would you have VDH do? Other than vote, run for office and/or protest if able, what can anyone do?

Correct.

That’s the problem with eggheads. They think the rules remain the same and we can achieve a victory or a rollback within them.

The rules have changed. That path is closed, unfortunately.

The trouble is - as soon as you walk into an area that does not allow open carry... you are in jail for a long time.

In a few Congressional districts, maybe... but nationally... nope. Too many in this country love Big Brother.

Too many in this country are so weak I wonder if the will to fight anything any more.

A country of puppets. Trained by the indoctrination system called education.

Yep... they’ve been trained to love, depend on, and place their very existence on government.

Well Jesus will come back someday but for now he’s going to send Trump. Be patient. Watch and listen to everything that is happening.
