Now that Trump has won, how to talk to your liberal friends
American Thinker ^ | 19 Nov, 2024 | Stephen Helgesen

Posted on 11/19/2024 4:02:22 AM PST by MtnClimber

For many if not most of your liberal friends (that is if you have any left) the world has just come to an end.

Many are either in a state of deep depression, even deeper denial or worse.

This is especially true of your older friends who were so looking forward to seeing the sun set on their lives under a Democrat president – proof that there was indeed a God that they could meet as they took that last step towards eternity.

Your younger friends are suffering from a similar depression, but theirs will subside more quickly as they will trade it in for a place on the picket line and the barricades and become the new freedom fighters, mobilizing to stop Trump and his loyalists

SNIP

Aided and abetted by social media and rich liberal donors, Democrats will embark on a crusade to topple the orange man and strip power from or character assassinate any of his supporters. Their actions will make Occupy Wall Street, Seattle's Chop (Capitol Hill Occupied Protest) and Black Lives Matter look like a 1950s 4th of July parade on Main Street. They perceive the Trump threat to be an existential one to their very way of life which includes: legalized recreational drugs, multi-genderism in sports, the right to occupy government buildings or vacant private property, reparations to slave descendents, forced national acceptance of DEI, CRT, and Marxist ideology, abandonment of merit in favor of racial quotas, free and unfettered abortion on a national scale and other radical demands.

You will not be able to talk to these activists. If you try, they will shout you down, refuse you entry to their campuses, protest your home and cancel you in social media. They mean business. These are not peaceful people.

Not surprising when you consider Saul Alinsky and the dedication page in his book “Rules for Radicals”.

Same here. They are opposed to the Ten Commandments in school, but are OK with after school satan club. A thing that makes me go hmmmm.

That sure seems to go hand in hand......are there any Christian democrats on capital hill?.....if there are I don’t know of them.

So what we’re left with is dealing with Godless people.

not really possible.

the intellectual lefties I try and communicate with are still failing to connect the dots:

here are some of the responses I get when simply trying to get them to acknowledge that Trump won:

1) “The Trump train will hopefully derail by the Democrats before it crushes democracy”

2) “Lies and name calling belongs to the Trump’s side...
Just like here Bibi’s supporters ...
Who said a lie that has been repeated many times becomes true...?
All dictators finally have fallen...
The dumbest People when oppressed strong enough finally realizes what has to be done....
All Blacks and others of the like will understand...Same here...
How long that will take...Have no idea...But it will happen...”

3) “The American people? You mean a small majority of it. Your way of reasoning is an example of national populism. Democracy insists treating minorities with respect. Democracy is not the dictatorship of the majority. That is hysteria. Real democracy is constitutional democracy, that is not something Trump believes in, and it looks to me you neither.”

4) “why argue with him. He loves what is happening and is not interested in a democracy that we care about. He loves that there are no guardrails, doesn’t care who gets hurt, disregards lies and he feels better with overturning judicial review and relishes on being on the side of dictators. He doesn’t care about you or Moshe. He believes ‘might makes right’and a ‘love it or leave it’ definition of patriotism. He’s toying with you. Forget him!”

One of the great things about Trump is that he uses Alinsky even if he doesn’t consciously do it and the Left can’t handle it when they are confronted that way.

“rich liberal donors”

The Trump resistance is going to have trouble raising funds. After all, Kamala just squandered billions. I’ll be surprised if they throw good money after bad.

The author has some valid points.

I believe we should show our strength in the states and cities where the law is respected. It is, after all, most of the country.

Our enemies need to know and believe the truth: They are a small minority.

I talked to a middle-aged woman the other day. I have known her for decades. She is left leaning. She believed Trump is a danger. I asked why. She said he was a threat to everyone's civil rights.

I asked why do you think so? She came up with Trump's actions at the Lafeyette square protes. I told her she had the facts wrong.

In the process, she pulled out her phone and checked my assertions. She learned I was correct, and what she had believed about his actions was not true. I think it was a good start.

She is a very logical thinker, extremely busy with job, husband, house, and three young children. She has no time to follow politics closely. Her group of close friends tends to be leftist.

She is not a committed far-left activist. She just absorbed the general beliefs about Trump from her friends.

We can reach those types of people.

I don’t have any liberal friends. Usually you’re friends with people who have similar interests. We have distant relatives who are liberals and we ignore them. Again…nothing in common. Life’s too short to spend it being stressed over every word you say and hear.

Libs don’t believe in freedom of speech. They believe Islam is a religion. They gasp at the thought of the 2nd amendment. They lie and cheat and have little to no moral compass or belief system. They’re fully aware of the voter fraud their party is committing and they support it. They won’t admit it but they do. Why spend time with them?
