A guide to conservative passive-aggressive resistance
American Thinker ^ | 9 Feb, 2024 | Nick Lopez

Posted on 02/09/2024 4:37:10 AM PST by MtnClimber

Last year, I had to go to an IRS office. I was subjected to a humiliating pat down for weapons. It was uncomfortable, invasive, and intimidating.

The guard wouldn’t just pat me down, either. He had to announce the nature of each pat before he did it...which further irritated me. After all that, the office couldn’t even handle my trust and estate tax questions.

Never again. If I ever have to visit that IRS office again, I’m putting on a dress (not shaving anything), slapping lipstick on my teeth, putting on a blue wig...and arriving like Jim Carrey in Vera DeMilo drag. “Hi, big boy, I’m ready for my pat-down now!”

If I’m going to be made uncomfortable with a pat-down, everybody will be uncomfortable. And if they complain, I will scream “transphobia” at the top of my lungs.

The Democrats want speed governors on cars. Fine — all Republicans need to start driving the exact posted speed limit...at all times. If being on time is “white supremacy” and 45% of the population starts to drive the exact speed limit all the time, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

But as someone who’s driven in large liberal cities, I can tell you that Democrats seem to be late for everything. Simply driving the speed limit is a much more effective protest than gluing yourself to the pavement...and it can’t be targeted by law enforcement.

Yes, driving the speed limit in Atlanta or Indianapolis is dangerous. But when you get rear-ended, the wreck is automatically the other guy’s fault, and you already can sing the accident injury attorney’s phone number.

Better yet, get a “Biden” bumper sticker on a magnet strip to slap on your bumper while driving the speed limit in a liberal city.

Just go straight to ACTIVE aggression.

That’s where we hunt down and smash the commies and assorted pieces of $**t who caused this.

“Just go straight to ACTIVE aggression.

That’s most definitely in the future. Just a question of “when”, given the left’s continuing drive to jump over the tipping point.

Just don’t obey unreasonable laws.

That passive-aggressive resistance is already well under way.

Walkaway. Cut the cable. Avoid certain manufacturers' products. Simplify life. Reduce debt, or have no debt (the better choice). Remain skeptical of headlines and scare tactics and more.

Conservatives and their buying decisions are already having significant effect. Walk away. Take your wallet with you.

Well written, mostly:

Better yet, get a “Biden” bumper sticker on a magnet strip to slap on your bumper while driving the speed limit in a liberal city.
Liberals don't drive trucks (the only vehicles which might have metal bumpers).

I like the piece, but I'm more inclined to be a covert, subversive saboteur and punisher.

Leftists/marxists/progs/rinos deserve punishment, pain & ___ until they no longer squeak and/or leave the country.

Doing all that as much as humanly possible......

Cute essay, including tongue/cheeky remarks like this:

In other words, waste their time, energy, and money. If you can’t vote them out, waste their time with things they said were important.

I think I've got one to add:

"Dear ladies and gentlepeople of the board: (holding up tampon) I went to the men's room and saw a tampon machine. I dispensed one. Being that I'm a man, I'm wondering where I should stick it?"

See what sort of responses that might evoke.

I get the intent, but go back and read the Cloward Piven Strategy again, and realize you’d be doing exactly what they want. They are not here to fix the system, they are here to break it by overwhelming it.

I suspect when enough of us do that which is "humanly possible" in so many small ways, the ground will shake.

As someone observed, an anecdote is just an anecdote, but a hundred million similar anecdotes is hard data and statistical truth.

Best wishes.

Also, ... NO discretional spending. When “O’Bozo” was in the WH, I spent on nothing that was not essential

When we convince government to cut spending, the whole nation will benefit. Profligacy was never a reasonable economic plan, anymore than promiscuity was a reasonable moral plan.

With Yellen the fiscal idiot suggesting the debt will continue to climb massively, this time is one in which the grasshoppers of Aesop fame will rue not having been like us diligent ants.

The old tales ALL tell truths, which the American Communists reject in favor of ideological lunacy.

Exactly. We always have to have the Cloward Piven strategy in mind and be sure to do things that disrupt only the leftist constructs, not our overall society.
