The GOP has crafted an advertisement around the "unhinged mob" theme in a Thursday video which quickly went viral
The GOP message going into midterms is simple; the left is an “unhinged mob” full of “radical Democrats” who shouldn’t be allowed to govern the country.
The mob-mentality began last Saturday after President Trump said that the Democratic resistance to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was an attempt by an “angry mob” to hijack the proceedings “in their quest for power.”
“They threw away and threw aside every notion of fairness, of justice, of decency and of due process,” Trump said of the anti-Kavanaugh efforts. “What he and his wonderful family endured at the hands of Democrats is unthinkable, unthinkable.”
Trump then said “On November 6 you will have the chance to stop the radical Democrats — and that’s what they have become.”
To that end, the GOP has crafted an advertisement around the “unhinged mob” theme in a Thursday video which quickly went viral:
Others have created similar videos, such as conservative political consultant, Harlan Hill:(I can't post the video)
The MSM “resists”
To combat the phrase “mob” from being attached to leftists, the mainstream media has begun to push back against conservative guests who utter the word. This was immediately picked up on and turned into yet another viral video of reporters telling people not to say “mob” juxtaposed with more of the “unhinged left.”
Inciting the troops
During a Sunday campaign event in Georgia, former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder suggested violence against conservatives; telling the crowd “Michelle [Obama] always says ‘When they go low, we go high.’ No. No. When they go low, we kick them.”

yes, and these kids fought the Great Meme War of 2016 to success. Currently they have launched the NPC meme and it has a devastating effect when used.
“GOP seizes” — drink!
Thanks. Not a big reddit user myself. Actually, almost none at all.
You're right poconopundit - great slogan.
I like all of the Jobs NOT Mobs slogans! I also think it is time that Republicans take back the color blue and color everything that is Democrat red. It used to be that way until the lefties realized it was too much of a give-away.
It’s better that way for your sanity.
Most of us are banned from other forums on the site by sheer virtue that we post on the_donald. Many times libs totally discount any opinion you have by looking at your comment history and see that you post there. As if that is an argument.
its pretty amazing the GOP is finally starting to get it.
Unthinking, programmed characters in video games are called Non-Player Characters, or NPCs. Typically, they just have a limited routine that they carry out again and again.
Someone observed that these rent-a-mob radicals, like black lives matter, antifa, and many others, behave so much like NPCs that this is what they should be called. Alternatively with unhinged mob, of course.
Typically, they don’t understand what they are attacking, or why, and can only say or scream their pat phrases. This is why they sound like such tools when somebody tries to debate them.
That’s where I’ve been getting 90% of the memes I post...with 667,000 subscribers, 30k added during Cavanaugh confirmation, they are fast, and more often than not, very witty. With that many people scouring the net, news items frequently show up there first.
With hat tip to Scott Adams.
How many Freepers do you think lurk or subscribe to r/The_Donald?
Hard to say. I see it mentioned on FR here and there, so I can at least think it gets a few hundred people here are reading it at least. It’s more fast-paced, edgy, and very youth-oriented so many on FR are likely lurkers. Very different environment.
It has 665 thousand people subscribed to it, so I can only assume that maybe 500 - 1K are regular FR posters or are visitors to both.
I saw that and the gray heads on Reddit. What does NPC mean?
Yup. I want the color blue too.
