"The problem is, the Mexicans who are hearing and understanding are not the problem. The ones who are the problem will never hear nor understand."

I really like that McGavin.

It's that "never hearing" part that makes the Left such a disruptive force in politics wherever they are. It's never about dialogue, it's only about forcing everyone else either to think the way they think or accept that they're the only ones permitted to think. And that is why the Left is a threat to democracy everywhere.

This tactic of challenging the results of elections is a long time Communist tactic. It first appeared after the fall of the USSR and the first truly free elections in Eastern Europe. Any time the Communists lost they went to this tactic.

It goes like this:

Before the election accuse the other side of planning election fraud.

Commit election fraud while accusing the other side.

If that fails, demand a recount.

If that fails, continually declare that the government that was legally elected is a fraud and is illigitimate.

Repeat at next election cycle.

We saw this here with the 2000 election and again in 2004. It is a staple of the left so get used to it.
