How conservatives use ‘verbal jiu-jitsu’ to turn liberals’ language against them
CNN ^ | 8/20/2023 | John Blake

Posted on 08/21/2023 5:28:28 PM PDT by Braak

The two frontrunners for the White House in 2024 are tied in a hypothetical rematch. Congress is paralyzed. Every big election seems to be decided by razor-thin margins.

By almost any measure, the struggle for political dominance in the US seems deadlocked between Republicans and Democrats. At times, the two parties resemble a pair of punch-drunk boxers, slugging away at one another in a contest that neither can end.

We covered this a day or so ago.

The article is just projection after projection.

They are upset that we are fighting back. Good, we must be improving. They don’t like it when we fight back. They go crying to their mommies. Tsk tsk, so sad, too bad.

Wrong. While I’m certainly not calling you a lukewarm conservative, much less a leftist, you’re not seeing the forrest for the trees.

One only needs to look at the events pre-Trump, during Trump (illegal unmaskings), and especially a 100+ day assault on a Federal Courthouse, with ZERO INDICTMENTS, to realize
the US is in a communist coup. That’s three
branches of government.

Pull your head outta your rear.

Misdirection, but it’s not just left-wing media, as even Fox hasn’t kept pushing for the the US to reduce US reliance on countries with a modern-day record of slavery, oppression, genocide and now a pandemic. Who needs Fox?

I've been saying that all along, but they are complaining that we fight back. It's not a mutually exclusive situation, at all. Fighting back is how we will defeat them too.

You only think you are a bright person. But we will defeat them.

Sucks when we actually bring the metaphorical bike chains and baseball bats?

I bring nothing metaphoric. It’s real & it’s an equalizer. 🙂

“Congress is paralyzed.”

Hey CNN, wrong again. Congress is not ‘paralyzed,’ it is a sickly, totally worthless stain on America.

Fair enough, but have you studied Marxism, as it is a top-down, bottom-up logic, which has always failed to deliver on it promises?

Why are Republicans so good at this form of verbal combat, and Democrats so bad?

because we tell the truth and love America where RATS lie and hate her...

I've seen it action for over 70 years, and it always fails. It will fail here before it even has a chance to gain full control. Trump has scared them so badly, they had to show their hand & expose themselves before they were really ready. There was a reason 2030 was the target date for them to expose themselves. They wanted the boomer generation to dwindle more, for we were the last generation they were worried about. The previous generations had been brain-washed to the point that they would rejoice at the thought of socialism replacing capitalism. The boomers were for the most part not very good at raising children, and the generations that followed were even worse.

I actually thought they were going to succeed in 2000, with the hanging chads shtick. But they knew it was too soon, however, even then I could read their designs. I was just 20 years ahead of what was to come down the road. They still needed time to secure more control of the levers of power. They had to back down, but they were really chomping at the bit to pull the trigger.

They used that time well, and decided they had better speed up the time table. that's when the Uni-party went all in, with the theft of the 2020 election.

It didn't quite go off as smoothly has they had hoped it would though, because Trump actually secured more votes than any other Republican in history. That caused lots of mistakes to be made. Trust me when I say they are nervous. If they fail, they know it will not go well for them, at all. That's why they try very hard to disarm us, even though they control far more superior arms. Because they haven't completely emptied the military of patriots. They will fail. 🙂👍🙂

Same way Jason Aldean used their violence against them in his video….. just replay it again and again.
