Leftists may be in a pickle right now, but when the time comes next year, they’ll close ranks and march in goosestepping unison to defeat what they perceive to be the greatest evil of all: MAGA Republicans

The left has been pounding the idea that Diversity is our strength because they know that in reality, those who don't agree can be labeled bigots and can be publicly ostracized. They also know that diversity creates a division, if not spoken, at least felt, and they expolit that division to imply chaos.

But when we compare places that are stable with those that are not, we find that overcoming diversity is the real strength. When we subjugate our differences ( our diversity) and emphasize our shared values i.e work ethic, morality, or values), we are more likely to peacefully coexist.

“But in the case of the former, they’ll be back to their old selves once they perceive the danger has passed.”

Sad but true.

Here’s the way Kipling put it in his “Gods of the Copybook Headings”..

“As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man-—
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began:-—
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return! “

It is my firm belief that all Asians will eventually vote heavily Republican.

They work hard and succeed because of it, they have no interest in being victims and sitting on welfare, they do what it takes to win in life and will naturally gravitate to our side more and more.

There is nothing in the Democratic Party for anyone not black or gay or who wants more than a government handout.

Trump will ride in on a while horse.

Only to find a country in ruin. A smashed economy, 33 trillion in debt with increasing inflation. 30 million unscreened illegal aliens waiting to strike.

A military unable to project power. A deep police state playing for globalist poppet masters. Hot wars around the globe.

They will leave Trump with nothing but ash.

This is how the left ruins things.

Until the scumbags are forcefull removed from every public office and bureaucracy they infest it doesn’t matter who is elected. First things first is to stop the invasion. There is no recovery with the millions and millions this child sniffing chomo is importing and the democrats know it.

I have a few libtards I have to deal with. They don’t want to hear of Biden’s child sniffing daughter molesting ways. And when pointing out how horrible the economy really is all they can say is “BUT TRUMP.” They actually think the world walking all over Biden and America is because he has such universal respect from the rest of the world. They don’t respect Biden. They love Biden, because he is weak and easily purchased.

Why would an illegal immigrant show any respect for a country that doesn’t respect itself? They are garbage people coming for free stuff knowing full well they are breaking the law. Why show any respect by simple things like throwing garbage in a garbage can or not trashing the FREE luxury hotels the taxpayers are giving them?

I remember in college we had a huge influx of Hmong, Laosian, Cambodian, and Vietnamese refugees (REAL refugees who were being exterminated by the commies). After They were respectful, clean, and industrious. There were English courses in all the churches and adult education programs for them and the classes were always packed. Now, the democrats demand the illegals completely destroy America for the democrat party benefit.

They are not western people and do not identify with western culture. Indian Americans have the highest levels of education and wealth after Jewish Americans yet vote Democrat at a rate of 65-70%. I live in a state where Indian Americans are about 8% of the electorate and have higher turnouts (relative to share of the population) versus Hispanic Americans. It’s not about capitalism, “hard work,” etc, it’s about cultural affinity, outgroup/in group, etc. There are cultural barriers especially for Hindus and Muslims to say nothing of race/culture that prevent affinity with Indian Americans for the Republican Party. We need to minimize all non-western immigration no matter how “bougie”/white collar some of these immigrants are. Race/culture/religion and the pull of the tribe cannot be ignored no matter how successful a racial or religious minority is.

We will have to agree to disagree, I have no issue with anyone from any race or country who comes to this country legally, loves America, works hard, follows the law and makes all their dreams come true. Because while they are making those dreams come true they are improving the country for everyone.

Did not Mao-tse-Tung say that “power comes from the barrel of a gun”?

“Did not Mao-tse-Tung say that “power comes from the barrel of a gun”?”

Yes he did, but he didn’t tell the whole story - power comes from the WILL to use that gun, or whatever you have at your disposal. Without the WILL to use it the gun is useless.

So “will” comes first in the pursuit of power. Means are also nececessay, but as the old saying goes “where there is a will, there is a way”. It’s absolutely true.

That’s why, even though conservatives are armed to the teeth, the unarmed leftists are wiping the floor with us in this culture war. We have the means but not the will or conviction to use them. They have the will and conviction... and find many ways to impose it.
