Leftist laughingstocks
American Thinker ^ | 21 Dec, 2024 | Kevin Finn

One thing that never gets old is watching leftists go after each other like the Kilkenny cats. Dan Bongino frequently reminds us that leftism is cannibalistic. Their modus operandi is to divide society into groups and turn them against one another. As this continues the groups become increasingly fragmented until finally, they turn their attacks inward.

There's an old maxim variously attributed to Sun Tzu, Napoleon Bonaparte and others that says, "Never interfere with the enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself." That's terrific advice, and the best part is that it’s so very satisfying to watch.

What I find most enjoyable in these episodes is when one of the leftists actually says something that's objectively true. Bill Maher does that from time to time when he criticizes some instance of leftist extremism. While it's very entertaining, I am under no illusions that Maher or any other leftist will eventually come around and fully embrace conservatism.

The other day Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) shockingly responded with a valid point by way of attacking the media when he was questioned by a CNN reporter on the abominable Continuing Resolution bill in Congress. At first I didn't know what surprised me more, watching a CNN reporter asking a legitimate question or well-known Democrat such as Durbin fire back with an honest response. Then it occurred to me that politicians always get a little prickly when someone questions their perks, so Durbin was just doing what they all do.

Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin, co-hosts of the execrable TV show, "The View" engaged in an argument over the reasons why Americans again voted for Donald Trump. Hostin claimed it was racism while Griffin, a former White House staffer under Trump, argued that...

It would be easier to laugh at them if they were not so pathetic and if their stupidity did not impact me.

The 107-day Harris campaign was nearly flawless.

I've seen videos of someone on The View saying the same thing. How utterly stupid can you be? Harris and her campaign lost EVERYTHING! Harris was a piss-poor choice from the get-go and I doubt that ANY campaign strategy could have saved her, let alone the one where they tried to hide her from the press and her word-salad responses. Flawless? My God, man, whose campaign were you following?

Exactly!!

If we draw a comparison between the DNC and an army, we could say Liberals are in a ‘motor march’, right now! 😏

Here are these pathetic poseurs again spewing their imperious drivel, AS IF they have a dog in this fight!!! Liberals routinely mishandled and abused the power and authority they held, got handed an existential loss in a very incontrovertible and spectacular rout … yet STILL want to pontificate to Conservatives !!

Talk about out-of-touch!!

“it’s so very satisfying to watch.”

I’m sure that liberal meltdown videos from last month will eventually get old. I’m also sure that it will be a while, probably until their next major freak out, which is always just around the corner.

“The 107-day Harris campaign was nearly flawless.”

The above claim shows how far the left is separated from reality.

The Harris campaign appeared to this observer as the worst run campaign in the history of presidential elections, with the worst set of candidates.

There were many, many avoidable mistakes. The entire premise of the campaign was faulty and was unstable.

Was Harris for change or did she support the current policies?

It was an objectively horrible campaign.

Recall that the Brennan Center for Justice claimed that the 2020 election was the most secure election ever. Democrats latched on to that morsel repeating it a million times. Absurd.

During all this, conservatives are sitting back, munching popcorn, and creating memes


That has a role, but we can’t stop there...................

At one time, the Left successfully employed Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals against us, but now we’ve turned the tables on them. Alinsky’s fifth rule states that ridicule is man’s most potent weapon,n and the sixth rule declares that a good tactic is one your people enjoy.


We should be having fun and working toward the goal. There are still too many being manipulated by the media.

When you go to bed at night, one should ask, “Did I have fun today?”

“It was an objectively horrible campaign.”

That is our secret, ok.

We want the Democrats to rinse and repeat in 2028.

If we get really lucky they will hire the same senior campaign staff.

Yet she still received 48% of the vote and 65 some million ballots. These are your friends, family and co-workers that continue to vote rat. I know a few of em. That’s what’s amazing to me.

Love this line from one of the linked articles.

“Conservative Republicans should start an OnlyFans account considering how often we get screwed,” Republican Rep. Kat Cammack of Florida said in a Tuesday post on X. “The CR is a bad deal.”

I heard her interviewed and she said she toned that down to ”screwed” from her original draft version.

Although the replacement bill was not perfect, killing the original 1500 page monstrosity was a big win. I don’t think the Dems and auxiliary Dems like the Speaker ever expected a fight. The fact the accepted the reduced bill in order to go home on time proved they are lazier than they are greedy, if that is possible.

The most absurd chapters in Harris’ campaign——and there were many——
is that she actually believed her ticket to the WH was advanced by:

a. an op-ed by George Clooney
b. an interview with Liz Cheney

Unbelievable.

In the pas,t when Democrats would accuse conservatives of being racists, misogynists, homophobes, Islamaphobes, or xenophobes, et al., we would go to great lengths to gather evidence and construct logical arguments as to why the charges were false.

Now we just laugh at them.

Which should have been the proper response to begin with as leftists are not interested in facts.

All it does is show we're taking them seriously and validate their false accusations.
