Flashback: This Civil War
Sultan Knish blog ^ | Jan 26, 2018 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 01/29/2019 8:56:59 PM PST by upchuck

This is a civil war.

There aren’t any soldiers marching on Charleston… or Myrtle Beach. Nobody’s getting shot in the streets. Except in Chicago… and Baltimore, Detroit and Washington D.C.

But that’s not a civil war. It’s just what happens when Democrats run a city into the ground. And then they dig a hole in the ground so they can bury it even deeper.

If you look deep enough into that great big Democrat hole, you might even see where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.

But it’s not guns that make a civil war. It’s politics.

Guns are how a civil war ends. Politics is how it begins.

How do civil wars happen?

Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that elections are how you decide who’s in charge.

That’s the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.

I know you’re all thinking about President Trump.

He won and the establishment, the media, the democrats, rejected the results. They came up with a whole bunch of conspiracy theories to explain why he didn’t really win. It was the Russians. And the FBI. And sexism, Obama, Bernie Sanders and white people.

It’s easier to make a list of the things that Hillary Clinton doesn’t blame for losing the election. It’s going to be a short list.

A really short list. Herself.

The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it’s not the first time they’ve done this.

The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn’t really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There’s a pattern here.

Trump didn’t really win the election. Bush didn’t really win the election. Every time a Republican president won an election this century, the Democrats insist he didn’t really win.

Now say a third Republican president wins an election in say, 2024.

What are the odds that they’ll say that he didn’t really win? Right now, it looks like 100 percent.

What do sure odds of the Dems rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don’t accept the results of any election that they don’t win.

It means they don’t believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections.

That’s a civil war.

There’s no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government.

This isn’t dissent. It’s not disagreement.

This article (actually it was a speech) by Greenfield is a year old. But in light of the 2018 election and the doings of the RATS since then, I figured it wouldn't hurt to read again the words of Daniel Greenfield.

I can tell you that at this point, I will NOT accept any democrat president.

Never again. I’ve been pushed to my limits. Even with Obama I felt that even though he was terrible, the votes spoke. But then this new Democrat party (who dis) popped up and I no longer believe that any vote is safe.

I didn’t like Obama but I accepted that that is what happened when our first “identity politics candidate” showed his face.

I heard all I needed to hear “I never voted before, but now that there is a black man in the running I’m voting for him”. I knew that he won the election due to stupid people voting for him.

But all of that ended after him. Now I’m convinced that there is no legitimate majority democrat vote anymore. There are voters, but not enough to even come close to a legit win.

So I won’t accept any democrat anymore. I simply can’t. I know we are going to war.

As I just commented on another thread:

The left is going to push the decent people of this country to a breaking point which ignites a conflagration that will not end until all vestiges of left-liberalism are eradicated from this country.

Thanks for reposting this. I remember reading it a year ago and thinking how brilliant it was. Re-reading it just now with all the events of the past year makes it even more brilliant. I don’t think any essay I’ve read by anyone articulates the leftist takeover for what it is and how it isn’t just the government — it’s the gigantic assemblage, the network of leftists in government, corporations, nonprofits, NGOs, billionaires, Davos cronies, media, education, statehouses, and city halls that are delivering the tyranny.

The past two years have clearly illuminated the weight of the tyrannical left. It is supported by almost every institution. We have very little on our side, not even many Republicans in Congress.

I think you are whistling past the graveyard if you think you can wipe out all “vestiges of left-liberalism.”

Perhaps, but at the very least, there will be little to nothing left of that debased ideology in America, if it comes to war.

Leftists are cowards at heart. They only fear and respect those who are truly dangerous. If real violence should ever be visited upon them, they'll quickly back down and silence themselves. The sheeple among them will probably snap out of their self-imposed idiocy and experience a true 'reality adjustment'.

However it plays out, a bloody civil war will forever diminish left-liberal ideology in America.

One might define national politics as being one of two distinct types.

"Normal politics" is the kind wherein there is a struggle over how our government will deal with the issues it faces.

"Regime politics" is a struggle over how to change the form of the underlying government itself (i.e. regime change).

Our nation is presently engaged in "Regime Politics." "Regime Politics" is "Civil War."

Nobody’s getting shot in the streets. Except in Chicago… and Baltimore, Detroit and Washington D.C.

They left out Charlotte, NC. A few days ago the Total shot was IIRC, 11 Dead. 1 every 2.5+/- days. Feral Idiots...

<>This is a war over who runs the country. Do the people who vote run the country or does The Network that can lose an election, but still get its agenda through, run the country?<>

Other than the election of PDJT, national elections have become placebos. Plenty of blind Freepers exclaim we live in a republic.

Yeb! would have been less awful than Hillary, but The Network accepted him and wouldn’t be trying today to boot him from office. Make no mistake, probably 80% of GOP congressmen are on board with Mueller.
