Doing as the Left does
American Thinker ^ | 29 Jun, 2021 | Tyler Jordan

Posted on 06/29/2021 4:23:31 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Is it time to start using the tactics of the Left?

Do you ever wonder how establishment media can go about not even pretending to be objective, or how Democrat politicians can tell you the current surge in crime, illegal border crossings, and rioting last summer are all a figment of your imagination? The CNNs and leftist politicians can do this because it’s not their goal to get you to tune in or get your vote. The Left now has enough of a coalition of immigrants, racist blacks, young morons, self-hating whites, perpetual victims, and government freeloaders to enforce their ideology on you.

This means they can cancel you out, spew fake news 24/7 and say whatever the hell they want no matter how outlandish and there’s nothing the Constitution or winning in the “marketplace of ideas” is going to do about it. So, conservatives -- quit living like it’s the 1980s and quit treating the Left like they’re still just the crazy uncle. Politics is the end all be all to the Left and they hate you with a passion. It’s time for conservatives to go against our natural inclinations, get out our comfort zone and enforce our ideology on the enemy.

Our fight starts with our words. Quit using their language and quit being soft on them. Maxine Waters shouldn’t be referred to as "congresswoman" but rather as a racist demagogue. Hillary shouldn’t be referred to anything other than a crook, and the FBI should be called traitors or brownshirts. CRT is racist indoctrination, abortion is murder, a journalist is a propagandist. When we use their language, we legitimize it and in turn desensitize otherwise moral, upstanding people.

Our fight starts with making them know we’re here. I believe in our silent majority of legal voters, but let’s stop being silent. If you see someone in Target wearing a Biden-Harris hat let them know they’re ruining this country. If you recognize a politician, CEO, or propagandist in your neck of the woods get in their face and confront them. We’ve been getting our butt kicked for 40 years taking the high road and being the peaceful good guy. Make Them Scared Again!

I don't think the Right has the stomach for the tactics of the left:

Nazis prepare to shoot Poles as part of a mass execution in Piaśnica in 1939. This photo was stolen from the SS member who took it by Polish workers and later made public.

We wouldn’t go that far. A little tar and feathers would work.

Is it time to re-start using the tactics of the Left?

The most important way the left has won is control of our youth. Once they have that all they need to do is wait.

I’ve heard leftists boast about how their future is assured at each hospital. Just about every older American who passes away there is a Christian and a capitalist, while almost every new baby being born is expected to become an atheist and a socialist.

The left’s rules (Alinsky’s):

1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.

2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.

3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.

4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.

8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.

11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

The tactics of the Left are to lie, murder, and commit treason.

The tactics of the Right should be justice - the trials, convictions, and sentencing of members of the Left to be publicly hanged.

"Just about every older American who passes away there is a Christian and a capitalist, while almost every new baby being born is expected to become an atheist and a socialist."

Communists have succeeded well here over the decades. So sad we've allowed it.

Actually I’m taking the opposite tact. I’m embracing the most radical extremist liberal positions with my liberal neighbors

I tell them I’m for even more late term after birth abortions up to age 5

I flash the antifa fist abs say “all cops are bastards”

We only have nine years left. Party up a storm

Or. I challenge to live as if climate change is the most aggregate threat and turn off those air conditioners. Walk to the store

I suggest we bring in all of Central America and give them $5000 a months

Reparations for blacks. $5 million each

For decades I believed we would win in the "marketplace of ideas" and eventually turn back the Leftist movement in this country.

Now, I realize that is not to be. The "marketplace of ideas" is only relevant where truth, common sense, logic, and reason are honored. There are so many living in this country now for whom these have no meaning. They simply keep charging forward with their agenda.

It’s about “The Triumph of The Will”.

We saw where that happened before.

I have debated a leftist on the abortion issue before. When I asked him how late is too late for late term abortion he just shrugged. Then I asked...Well, how old are you?

I’ve accepted that we don’t have the stomach to fight the left. We have lost and we will just adapt to what the left has in store for us. It’s pathetic but it is reality.

Funny, nobody in that picture looks or is dressed like a Nazi. Plausible deniability at work.

“A little tar and feathers would work.”

For some. Maybe even most. But others...

You are using Alinsky’s rules 3, 4 and 5.
