“We May Be Nearing” when “the Resistance Looks Completely Different”: Democrat Leaders Ramp Up Resistance Rhetoric

Despite calls for many Democratic politicians and pundits to temper their inflammatory rhetoric, this week has proven a further escalation in this dangerous form of rage rhetoric. DNC Chair Ken Martin just told MSNBC’s “The Beat” that “we may be nearing” the moment when “elections don’t matter and then the resistance looks completely different.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on people to “forcefully rise up.” With political violence on the rise, these leaders are clearly fueling the mob in hopes that they and their party can ride the wave of rage back into power. History suggests that it is a foolish delusion. Today’s revolutionaries quickly become tomorrow’s reactionaries.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who pictures himself brandishing a baseball bat has previously called upon people to “fight in the streets.”

They need a new George Floyd to rally the races and stimulate rampant violence to show Trump can’t rule and MAGA are just Modern KKK/Nazis. They see this as their road to power—Total Obama like power. Remember the Obama Flag? With his face where the stars should be? Remember calls to change the name to the Republic of Obama? Hillary Clinton dreamed of such things. Not a democratic nation but a one party state (Like California is today—it is a Democratic-Socialist Republic with ironclad laws that favor just the victims and the upper level power families).

“They are also hurting because the free flowing USAID and NGO dollars they were abusing for their Marxist evil has now been shutoff at the spigot.”

Probably explains the Democrat attempt to get more funding through extortion (the government shutdown). The healthcare funding that they are looking for is administered by the states. Abusing those funds to fill state budget deficits are already a thing.

“They are losing on every front and are in danger of becoming a permanent minority party.”

I’m not so certain. The sure thing is boomers are a passing generation. Gen Z is the (small) replacement generation. They are pretty radical and going for Bernie, AOC & Mamdani. Which way Gen Alpha goes is anybody’s guess.

Agreed, and it wasn’t just in the USA the money was being flooded out.

USAID could fund their evil Obama/Soros/Samantha Power wishlist’s at the same time they overwhelm and bankrupt America right into the WEF’s ‘Great Reset’ where no one would be looking in the burned out ruins to audit their receipts.

America and its constitutional freedoms proved too resilient for them. They are now just waiting out President Trump, running out the clock to try again.

They will be back if they are not held accountable.
