Blue State Blues: Democrats’ Mob Tactics May Be Working
Breitbart ^ | Joel Pollack

Posted on 10/20/2018 5:46:25 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Last month, a few days after my six-year-old daughter started first grade, I was standing in the schoolyard, having just watched her walk off to her classroom, when I was accosted by another parent.

She told me that, given my conservative views, I should leave liberal California and move to Kansas, where I’d learn how they treat Jews like me.

I asked her if she thought she was being “tolerant.” She replied: “I am tolerant. I just hate you.”

I have hesitated to write about that incident until now, because I did not want to escalate the conflict. But in the past several weeks, it has become clear that conservatives around the country are having similar experiences.

*snip*

Scott Adams, the Dilbert cartoonist who has become a widely respected political pundit thanks to his understanding of methods of persuasion, often notes that fear is the most effective form of persuasion.

Trump has warned voters that Democrats are an “angry mob” — and voters seem to agree, pushing up Republicans’ poll numbers. But polls do not vote — and volunteers may be too afraid of the mob to do what is necessary to make sure Republican voters turn out on Election Day.

There is already anecdotal evidence from the field, where Republicans are reluctant to canvass their neighborhoods, or even put up yard signs, lest they face retaliation.

>>Don’t be the last to leave California. Come to MD we tolerate conservatives and respect the Jewish religion. it’s far from perfect but our Republican Governor has been great.<<

Our “Republican” Governor is a backstabbing RINO and a disgrace to all Conservatives. That said, there are a number of counties on the Eastern Shore and in the western part of the State where the majority of citizens have thus far rejected the socialist governing ideology of the loons in the Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington areas.

I believe there are some on the left who would literally kill us if they could get away with it.

Some you say? I think there are WAY more than just some. There are tons of those kinds of ass hats 🎩 I was in California about 8 months ago, and I felt like I was in a foreign country. I left as soon as I could. 👎
My sister, is always inviting me to Texas. 😁

The editorial closes by saying; "If Democrats win, there may be no turning back from the abyss."

I believe we have already passed the point of no return. The undeniable power of the media and our or unrecoverable loss of the government run education system is writing the recipe for our demise.

It will be interesting to see if polling stations in blue states will be `guarded’ by Antifas. If the police are ordered to stand down as in Portland, this could happen.

But a huge backlash by Deplorables is growing and will manifest itself on Election Day.

>>How much more from the MOBS are we folks going to allow the draft dodgers to get away with?

For the good of the country and the safety of those who are not in the mob I certainly hope the backlash will not be long in coming. One of the reasons there has not already been a strong physical retaliation against the mob is the fear that law enforcement will side with the mob. In some areas they have already been instructed by the political establishment to “stand down” and not interfere with the unlawful attacks by the leftist mobs. And that, my friend, is exactly how the Nazis were able to take control of “Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles” in the 1930s.

Exactly. I will not reveal my opinions and votes. It is a secret ballot for a reason: Intimidation. Like the tactics used in the blacks in the south. Democrats have not changed at all.

and another election cycle is coming around

And the power brokers haven't improved. Here in OH, the official Republic Party is dominated by Kasick and equally vile pols. They've done NOTHING to support candidates (including US Senate and Governor) who don't support their anti-Deplorable agenda.

What are the Democrats offering the American people? Is their agenda more hate and mob violence? It is hard to understand what we are going to get in return for voting Dems. back in. Is it anti-Trump hate and investigations wasting tons of money?

White genocide is real but murder is not the means. Mass invasion of black and brown skinned people into Europe and America for the purpose of white genocide by interracial breeding is the goal of the Kalergi Plan. The goal is to lower the IQ of the masses, making them easier to control by the globalist elites (who will remain racially pure) under a one world government. This plan goes back to the early 20th century and has been the basis of the formation of the EU and the UN. Angela Merkel is a proponent of the Kalergi Plan, which explains her actions with regard to mass migration from the Middle East into Germany, and the EU’s insistance on mass migration as well.

>>Although the liberal idiots in Boulder and the Denver suburbs will probably install the Obama Mini Me Jared Polis as the next Governor.<<

Californians and wealthy leftists from elsewhere have moved into Colorado and, to no one’s surprise, quickly turned that beautiful State into another socialist “paradise”.

Congratulations.

You’ve just defined the point where government loses its monopoly on the use of force; thus, the Second Amendment....

I’m as conservative as they come. I have never, and will never, put a bumper sticker anywhere on my cars. I don’t do yard signs. It’s not from fear, I just don’t do it and never will. yet I’ve voted in every single election since I turned 18. Politics is NOT my life.
I think people like me are the majority.

Democrats are the real racists. Look a their supporters insisting on apartheid. Separate but equal. In The USA the real dream was blending together. We were to keep,the best from all cultures and blend to make Americanism. But, Democrats divide us with multiculturalism.

“Man, that is one sh!tty way to discover you’ve wasted your life socializing for years with shallow people you thought were your bff’s.”

Never thought of it that way — the “wasted life” angle — but you’ve got a point.

How did this unnamed woman know who he was or anything about him? I had to go look him up and still wouldn’t know him if he knocked on my door.

Was this a planned confrontation or fake?

well, you have hit on one of several reasons the pubbies are going to win 5-9 senate seats, keep the house and likely increase their hold on many state houses and governorships.
