As for the list I put together, if I'm missing an item let me know.
Ping.....
Let’s take some stock here. Where are progressives the strongest? Where are they the weakest?
In intellectual capacity.
We were having some discussion about progressives in culture, and I thought it might be useful to try to create a numbered list of weakest and strongest.
If we know the weakest, we know the target.
If you would prefer not to reply, then I apologize for pinging your username and wasting your time.
where are they the weakest? The Truth!!
Talk radio obviously.
At their center of mass. Aim there first.
Physically. They are nerdy wimps.
The left consistently talks about “fairness” yet almost every policy the left supports involves giving disproportionate privileges, resources, or money to politically chosen groups or individuals. Conservatives should be able to win the equality of opportunity versus “fairness” debate. However few self proclaimed conservative politicians are capable or willing to engage in that debate with social justice warriors.
If conservative “leaders” will not engage in the debate, the battle is lost before it begins. The left wins because its leaders passionately, aggressively and in a unified manner engage with the effect of rolling over the passive “opposition”.
Consider the current situation with respect to election integrity. The Republicans can’t even develop a unified message about the need for voter and ballot integrity (Voter ID, inviable chain of custody, a formal audit program after each election), much less rally together to aggressively demand a real investigation into the obvious issue with the 2020 election.
The truth is the Democrats are passionate and unified in their desire to fundamentally transform the United States into a socialist state where the elite defined objectives for the community are imposed by government and citizen “rights” are defined and subject to the whim of government authorities. Most Republican politicians and leaders have no passion with respect to preserving individual liberty. They are pragmatic politicians who are primarily engaged in achieving personal goals for wealth and power. Conservative ideology is a label of convenience they use as window dressing to obtain political office.
As to cultural issues the GOP elites ceded the cultural war to the left years ago in exchange for admission to elite schools for their children, invitations to social events, acceptance at private clubs, to escape being targeted for personal destruction by the media and social justice warriors, and the perks of living the life of the upper class. They have no interest in fighting to bring balance to academia, the media, or the government bureaucracy. Remember, it is all about their personal position in the universe, not about the nation or the people they represent. Republican politicians are actually some of the most self centered people on the planet.
They're weakest with people who have children, work for a living and love their families.
Media and tech are the weakest. What can we do today to fight back?
Dump cable tv. If you are afraid of missing out, I have not had cable since 2007. Between FR and streaming news sites, I am able to stay informed. I am only missing out on the constant BS from the LEFTIST media.
True for Mahatma Gandhi and his dealings with the Brits... true for blacks in the Jim Crow South...
NOT true today.
Protesting in the streets today is a psych oops 'rent a mob' action no different than the folks the Iranian government buys to support their positions ... no different than the state sanctioned parades in North Korea or the Brown-shirts breaking windows on Kristallnacht...Bought and exploited rent a mobs...
'Rent a mob' is NOT 'protesting...it's buying thugs to push an agenda... when a group runs ads to find 'protesters' it's a white trash 'elite' behind it.
I am not denegrating your post, I can see it’s value and why it was asked.
Progessivism is weakest in it political party blind trust.
It is completely exposed to all that the blind generational trust in the GOPe and Republican party to represent We the People has been devastating and it is only now that some are going through the various emotional reactions of finding out that the Uniparty by whatever name has been in charge of the systematic destruction of The People’s Country.
Weakness is a top down flow, you can start any place you like but a fish always rots at the Head.
Next weakness, Communication to the People that it is time to close and lay waste to that which has been party to past, and current premeditated actions to destroy our Constitutional Republic.
May not help, but I like to present top down facts first.
Deepest respects.
Survivability if an EMP hits
They are the strongest at promoting their people to places of power and authority in education, business, law, and government. They don’t have to have a majority in the population as long as they control a majority in key positions. By this means, payoffs in money and power can be made to keep people loyal. By this means, elections can be rigged, laws can be twisted in their favor, and courts can be used to cancel challenges to the results.
Strongest: Feels
Weakest: Logic
Leftists are weakest in counties.
Control the village councils, the schoolboards, judgeships, county boards and sheriff offices and you control the county. Control the counties and you control the states.
Many county elections are held in the spring when the voter turnout is around 10-15%.
This isn’t rocket science.
Talk radio is not dominated by leftists, and cannot be - because the defining characteristic of a successful talk show host is that s/he takes on all comers. Leftists try the talk radio format without treating challenging callers respectfully. The audience for talk radio is in the market for truth - but leftists are not in business of providing it.Leftists in journalism control the topics to be discussed absolutely, and the hit-and-run format suits that fine. Talk radio is, as Rush puts it, “the long form.” In the long form, “Look! A squirrel!” only goes so far.
They are and have always been weakest on the Constitution but strongest on getting around it via the courts and politics.
Add Medical who do un-necessary testing, blood work scamming/Medicare, and Big Pharma. You could add in the liars who work for government like Andrew Kolodney Shrink, PROP COMMITTEE all he does is spew lies about Intractable Pain Patients being addicts. Doubled paid, Feds pay him and states.
Failure of Dem Governors. Goes beyond COVID, as they run the worst states, mayors also.. Lightfoot. https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2021/01/05/democrat-governors-fail-miserably-on-vaccine-distribution-n2582524
Checking my email this AM like yesterday 3 things pop up COVID causes Blood Clots in organs, that newly elected R Rep died of a heart attack while the doc was removing Blood clots. Thinning brain veins, and today is LONG TERM GI ISSUES. Now why haven’t we heard of these factors?
This sloppy crap T’s me off. I work best with hard truthful facts. Don’t need long involved stories just the facts. Once upon a time is not needed.
