The Left Is on a Mission to Annihilate Conservatism

While President Donald Trump is an ideal scapegoat for leftist hatred and demagoguery, the left's ultimate goal is to permanently reduce conservatism and the Republican Party to minority status by indelibly associating them with racism.

Listen to what the Democratic presidential candidates and other Democrats are saying. If you support border enforcement, you are a racist. If you support Trump, who pushes border enforcement, you are a racist. If you don't condemn Trump for being a white supremacist, which he is not, you are a white supremacist.

Democratic Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro, chairman of the presidential campaign for his twin brother, Julian, published the names of San Antonian contributors to Trump's reelection campaign, publicly denouncing them for "fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as 'invaders.'"

Castro's message is clear: Anyone who donates to Trump's campaign is a racist. As there is little difference between supporting Trump and donating to his campaign, Castro is saying that all Trump supporters are racists. Worse, Castro, and others, are trying to tie the mass shooting in El Paso to Trump and his supporters. There is nothing subtle about this. Their aim is to shame people into leaving the GOP.

One of the doxed donors, William Greehey, who incidentally contributed to Castro's 2011 and 2013 campaigns, was appalled at this slander and identified it for precisely what it is. "It is just amazing to me that he would do that," said Greehey. "Then he's calling me a racist because I'm supporting Trump. I mean, this is just ridiculous. There's a lot of things you don't like about the president and his tweeting, but here Castro is doing the same thing with his tweeting."

Wayne Harwell, another Castro donor caught in his doxing web, said: "If someone dislikes you enough to try to affect your business or personal life, I will not support him anymore. Maybe Castro's supporters should look over their shoulder. Frankly, I think the nasty rhetoric coming from the Democratic national candidates is worse than anything Trump has said." Bingo.

Even when called out, Castro didn't back down, other than to disingenuously claim he didn't create the list but only shared it. Seriously, Joaquin? He said it wasn't his intent to target the people he doxed -- an outright lie on its face -- but would like for them to "think twice about supporting a guy who is fueling hate in this country."

Sorry, Mr. Castro, and all progressives who keep spreading this lie, but Trump is not trying to build a wall because he doesn't like Hispanics, and every time you mouth this toxic mantra, you show you are willing to cast all border hawks as racists. More to the point, Castro, you are the one fueling hate in this country, and people are wising up to your scheme.

Sen. Cory Booker is also casting Trump and his supporters as white supremacists. Here's the logic: Trump is a white supremacist because he wants to protect the border. A white supremacist, who may not even be a Trump supporter, slaughtered people. Therefore, Trump incited the massacre. And those callous enough to support Trump must be white supremacists as well.

Though Booker called on Trump to denounce white supremacy after the shooting, when Trump did just that, Booker would not accept it. Moreover, Booker's campaign team called for cancellation of all Trump rallies because they are a "breeding ground for racism and bigotry." Never mind the abominable infringement on people's constitutional right to association that this unserious dabbler in presidential politics is advocating. Consider the malice in his charge that patriotic Americans gathered together to support President Trump are breeding racism and bigotry. No matter how twisted Booker's thinking is, he knows better.

If this weren't proof enough of progressive malevolence, we have the reliably bizarre Joe Biden, who expressly claims that Trump is intentionally stirring up white supremacy. "It's both clear in language and in code this president has fanned the fumes of white supremacy," said Biden. "(Trump's) vacant-eyed mouthing of the words written for him, condemning white supremacists this week, I don't believe fooled anyone at home or abroad. ... Energetic embrace of this president by the darkest hearts and most hate-filled minds in this country say it all."

It's obvious that Biden has lost all semblance of shame. The last person in America who talks in code is President Trump. He is direct, and his message is not about racism or white supremacy but about equal and robust opportunity for all.

Obviously, leftists haven't just gone off the rails with their insane policy ideas (and by "insane," I mean "crazy"). They are now demonizing half of Americans -- the half that don't embrace their insanity -- as enablers of a president who enables white supremacy -- though he denounces it. It's gotten to the point that these intolerant, mean-spirited extremists are trying to harm people simply for having a different political opinion, as shown by their boycotting fitness centers Equinox and SoulCycle because the owner of their parent company hosted a Trump fundraiser.

Leftists are doing incalculable damage to the fabric of society and race relations, but I can't help but believe that if they keep this up -- and they most certainly will -- they will pay a heavy political price in 2020.

Well guess what the Patriots are on the warpath to annihilate the liberals and globalists as well.

[Jonty30]

Make no mistake, the word racism has taken on the catch all term of somebody who does not support the Democrat agenda. They are no different than communists.

[ronnie raygun]

When public support dwindles to nothing they have to resort to violence, bring it on..................

[devane617]

I do not believe the typical Democrat supports socialism and the current looneys running for office. I think this is a media push, and I’m waiting for some on the Left to say, enough...

I’m rubber the Dems are glue.

[DarthVader]

I have been hearing rumblings like you describe coming from several Democrats O know. They are getting seriously pissed.

[jazminerose]

Good luck with that.

They further beclown themselves by the hour, infuriate and annoy Sane America, and will be, once again, stunned when President Trump eats their lunch next year.

The President can pretty much quit campaigning at this point. The rallies are for recreational purposes only.

[Chickensoup]

The leftist Totalitarian Fascist Elite are on a path to eradicate Conservatives.

[Truth29]

This article is very mild on what the Left intends. They intend to take down the country, enslave Conservatives to support their dream utopia of a total government, and kill any of us who continue to resist.

[PLOM...NOT!]

Whomever is advising these dem drones is a blithering idiot. They are all flailing about like Donald Sutherland in Body Snatchers with their arm outstretched screaming and pointing racist racist racist! The dem candidates are a horror show and not a very good one at that.

This study from Pew is a few years old but is spot-on with regard to the "Solid Liberals" that are the noisy lot. They are way out of the mainstream from rank-and-file Dems, more than "Deplorables" are from rank-and-file Repubs. If they have their way, Trump wins in 2020 but not without a fight.

Oh, and by the way, contrary to what they'd want you to think, Solid Liberals have the highest percentage of whites of all Dem typologies. More "normal" Dem typologies have higher percentages of minorities.

Defining values: Highly educated and politically engaged, Solid Liberals hold consistently liberal values. They back a robust role for government and are strong advocates of the social safety net. Large majorities view the current economic system as unfair and see economic inequality as a major problem. They take broadly positive views of immigrants, and fully 99% think being open to people from around the world is an essential part of the nation’s identity. Most say more needs to be done to address both racial discrimination and obstacles to women’s achievement. They support same-sex marriage and believe homosexuality should be accepted by society. Solid Liberals are the most Democratic of all typology groups: nearly two-thirds (64%) identify as Democrats, another 35% lean toward the Democratic Party.

Political attitudes: Solid Liberals are the most engaged Democratic group – 89% say they vote always or nearly always, and fully 97% say it matters a great deal or fair amount which party wins control of Congress next year. Their opposition to Donald Trump is overwhelming: 97% say they strongly disapprove of his job performance, and 91% say they disagree with Trump on all or nearly all issues. A 71% majority identify as liberal.

Who they are: The most highly educated of the typology groups, 57% are college graduates and nearly three-in-ten (29%) have a graduate degree. Non-Hispanic whites make up the vast majority of this group (73%), and the group is more female than male (59% to 41%). Solid Liberals are financially satisfied and among the most likely to live in urban areas.

Lifestyle notes: Most Solid Liberals (72%) say they enjoy going to museums a lot, and 75% say artists contribute a lot to society – the highest shares across typology groups. They are less likely than other groups to have a religious affiliation, and just 15% say they attend religious services weekly or more, by far the lowest share of any typology group.

We must resist and fight every racist slur against conservatives.

[Rapscallion]

Cory Booker is a “black overlord”. How does he like that smear?

[Campion]

It's both clear in language and in code this president has fanned the fumes of white supremacy

You fan "flames," Joe, not "fumes". Sniffing Joe is so addled he says things that don't even make sense, like "truth over facts".

[Rapscallion]

Cory Booker : His behavior style indicates illegal drug use.

[Rapscallion]

Joaquin Castro: my favorite “conquestador”. He needs a smear too.
