With malice toward all
American Thinker ^ | 9 Nov, 2024 | Mike McDaniel

Posted on 11/09/2024 4:16:56 AM PST by MtnClimber

We must not do to them what they gleefully and maliciously did to us.

In his second inaugural address, Abraham Lincoln told Americans they must have malice toward none and charity toward all. At least 620,000 died in the Civil War. It was unimaginably personal. Without that generosity of spirit the republic would not have long endured.

With the re-election of Donald Trump, many Normal Americans of good will are not quite that generous, but are coming close. We have to be kind toward and accepting of the people who not only called us Nazis, fascists, haters, garbage, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists,

SNIP

Now, various talking heads are trying to emulate Lincoln. We must not do to them what they gleefully and maliciously did to us. We must strive to unite, to become one, with the people who refuse to admit the wrongs they forced on us and our republic in the name of “our democracy,” a tyranny of the majority, a one-party state for which they yet long. A few are beginning to sort of admit error, fewer still recognize our common humanity and the need to become, once again, Americans. Can’t we all just get along?

The hell with that—mostly. There’s no question if the republic is to survive Americans must once again come together as Americans, but that means willingly embracing the Constitution, the rule of law, and acknowledging our individual liberties do not impose a duty on others to accommodate our every whim, neurosis or psychosis. The social pathologies of leftists do not require Americans to hamstring their police and to accept rampant crime, nor do they require us to accept and praise the whims of the sexually deranged. They certainly don’t require us to embrace open borders and the horrors that insanity brings.

I agree.

Maybe not go after them through the legal system as they did to us, but certainly go after them with humor and sunshine.

Turn the light on all the things they did. Hold them up to ridicule.

It’s already happening with the FEMA disclosures about “avoiding homes with Trump signs.”

But there are countless other ways to shine the light. Countless. I’m not an expert in the matter, but things done by Fauci and the NIH, with respect to COVID. The banking system “de-banking” conservative companies. The whole DEI initiative, in the private sector and most particularly in government. The whole “lawfare” movement.

Release the J-6 political prisoners. Let’s hear their stories. Let’s hear more about the Mar-A-Lago FBI raid.

Those subjects are just scratching the surface.

And remember Alinsky’s Rule #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.

“Drain the swamp”

This time, it has to be more than just talk. Let’s go.

After watching some of the “liberal tears” vids that are floating around...I will say that the TikTok generation needs a vigorous infusion of Christianity. They seem demon-ridden. You don’t start cleaning house with forgiveness. First you have to get them to sin no more, or at least dial it back. As Vance put it, “Do you hear yourself?” They need some self-reflection so they can begin to purge the hatred from their hearts.

Drop the "mostly". In a Biblical sense, ALL of the idols must be destroyed, not just some of them, and "playing nice" leaves some idols behind.

JMO, YMMV

Nice words from Lincoln that were ultimately ignored as Northern opportunists descended on the South like locusts on a wheat field. It has taken over 120 years for the South to regain it’s power and it has done well.

The treasonous traitors MUST face consequences or their treason will continue.

Personally, I’m all for public executions for those who chose treason.

“ I’ve now watched 72 hours of democrats attempting and failing to figure out why they lost. Let me help.

• You flooded the country with tens of millions of illegal immigrants,
• you blamed inflation on Putin instead of the printing press,
• you locked us down and tried to mandate poison,
• you pushed DEI which created a massive racial fracture which didn’t exist prior,
• you shamed any semblance of patriotism or masculinity,
• you were condescending 24/7 for a decade,
• you put us on the brink of war with Russia,
• you lied about Trump for 8 years straight and even the dumbest people eventually figured it out,
• you ran arguably the least likable candidate possible and yes I know Hillary Clinton exists,
• you called us all racist sexist homophobes when we weren’t,
• you treated the constitution like toilet paper,
• you ignored every valid complaint we had about all of the above.

• Perhaps most infuriating, you did all of this without an ounce of shame. Even in defeat, you still can’t identify even a fraction of the totally valid reasons you lost. Which is all the more reason you deserved to lose.

In summary:

• You’re bad people and I hope you are kept out of power for a generation. Or at least until you have the decency to recognize that everything I said above is true.

The lawfare issues must be dealt with, severely. These were not crimes against Trump but crimes against the citizenry. A “poorer”, weaker man would be destroyed (e.g. Giuliani).

Remember their names, the lies, the physical and mental damage they and their surrogates have done to innocent individuals in this great republic. Many evil individuals never stop until incarcerated or eliminated. When the rule of law is used as a weapon against the innocent, what are their loved ones left with?

That’s bull shite. I will forever call them idjits, and bashibazook socialists, and I will LOUDLY ridicule them all in public for CRT,DEI, transgenderism with boys in girls bathrooms,open borders/sanctuary cities, and woke-ism.

If this radical leftist minority continues, I will wish upon them all that their daughters are raped in their own bathrooms in school , like they made happen in Virginia, and also will wish upon them the murder of their children with fentanyl, and by stabbings by immigrant psychopaths they promoted into America.

The battle is not over, it has just begun.

Chesty Puller approves of this message.

NO FORGIVENESS.

we were told time and time again for 4 years that
NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW

Now we need to Fully Enforce EXISTING LAWS and if they did nothing wrong, they have nothing to worry about. But if they did Break Those Laws, they deserve Criminal Prosecution JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

This writer labors under the impression that Sh*tocrats good people or even still human.

The left are bloodthirsty, zombies. You can’t be nice to zombies.

I say we stick it to them at every possible opportunity. In every way possible. Even if it’s simply to point and laugh. Boycotting their businesses is a good idea (if we haven’t already done that). Make their lives a living hell within the boundaries of the law.

We can expand on that list. My two cents:

- You decimated women’s rights by sending men into women’s bathrooms and sports.

Add:

- You labeled ordinary parents “terrorists” when they objected to perversion and indoctrination in school.

The Left can’t try to kill someone then immediately call for a truce before they face any consequences. They will try to kill again as soon as they can.
