The major point about understanding Alinsky's rules is not "nyey, nyey, nyeh I can't hear you." The rules apply to anyone trying to advocate change. In this case it is patriotic Americans and constitutional conservatives who want change. The tactics work just as well for us as they do for leftists, and that is what the author should have been writing about.
Did you read the full article at Townhall? That’s EXACTLY what he’s saying.
I love the article and, no, not everyone can recite the rules. Only the most famous ones. His entire point is what he writes AFTER the rule - which is how Trump turns the world of the lefties upside down.
The excerpt was chosen to show the style of the article. Rule recitation - followed by how Trump knows how to use it against them. I don’t tend to like to excerpt much because I think a good writer deserves the clicks.
You are one of the few that understand how to push the rules back at them and not stumble when they use them against us.
