Ted Cruz recommends strategy for responding to liberal 'rage'
WE ^ | | September 09, 2019 06:12 PM | John Gage

Sen. Ted Cruz urged conservatives to "lighten up" ahead of 2020 in response to "rage" from those on the Left.

"The Left right now, they’re so consumed with rage," the Texas Republican said last weekend at the Faith, Family, and Freedom forum, according to the Houston Chronicle. "They hate the president. It is all-consuming, it’s all they can see. As conservatives, let’s not respond to that. Like, just lighten up. Just have some fun."

"When one party is going nuts, we gotta respond with joy, we gotta respond with smiles," he added.

It worked very well for George W Bush.

Pretty sure nothing angers the left as much as seeing us outwardly happy.

The other day I told a Liberal in a very friendly way “You need to lighten up. It’s not healthy. When you love your children and their future more than you hate Trump you’ll feel much better”.

Because that’s worked so well over the last half century.

The school system is nearly completely destroyed.
Our governance system is nearly completely destroyed.
Many of our cities are literally s**tholes.
Etc, so on, so forth...

so yeah. Lets just keep politely smiling at it all and pretend that works.

True! To involve yourself with Liberals at THAT level will only seem to validate them and their BS.

To debate them when they do that stuff will make us appear JUST as lunatic, immature and desperate.

They have always been lunatic and immature but, believe me, world-class, blue-ribbon, industrial-strength, pathological ‘desperation’ is what’s driving Liberals right now! And I say... give them all the rope they want.

Anything else is above your pay grade.

A few serious indictments at the top would work very well to shut them the hell up.

It doesn't work if that's all you do. But you start with the smile. The left can start with their sourpussed face...

“It worked very well for George W Bush.”

Laughing at the left is different than ignoring them.

Actually, nothing pysses off a lib more than seeing a happy conservative.

Exactly. And we can do it in the most effective ways.

I make idle comments like that at every opportunity and it can be done in such a way that they’d never suspect I was a conservative. At least, it makes them think.
