It’s time for the ‘Deplorables’ to become the Unconquerables
NY Post ^ | 17 Dec 2020 | Glenn Reynolds

Posted on 12/17/2020 6:06:25 PM PST by Rummyfan

Democrats won the election, but they don’t seem very happy about it. And with reason: The election failed in its main purpose, which was to shut down the Deplorables.

The Deplorables, in Hillary Clinton’s infamous term, are working- and middle-class people who haven’t bought into the progressive agenda. They’re people who don’t see the rise of the tech oligarchy as a plus, who don’t think “woke” politics make sense, who have jobs that produce tangible outputs. They’re nearly half the country.

This election was supposed to demoralize them, crushing President Trump and his supporters in a double-digit landslide that would give the Democrats solid control of the White House and Congress — and, with a little judicious court-packing, of the judicial branch, too. The Deplorables would be made to realize that they aren’t in charge, that if they want to ride, they’ll have to (in Barack Obama’s famous words) ride in the back.

Only it didn’t work out that way. The big congressional victories turned into lost House seats for the Democrats. And the presidential election was hardly a crushing victory. For an election to really take, the losers have to admit that they’ve been beaten. And to admit that they’ve been beaten, they have to think they actually lost fair and square. Not many Trump supporters think that.

That’s nice. But Pelosi will still be Speaker in 2021. So I’m not quite jumping for joy here.

Money quote from Peter Navarro today:

“Hell hath no fury like a DEPLORABLE scorned!”

I like “ungovernable” but the author is correct, we need to start acting like a political and economic block. You re not talking just about half the country, you are talking about the majority of earners and producers.

Look at the RAT population, perverts, pedos, poor minorities or free riders, out of touch actors and arrogant woke business men.

In the end we are way more powerful then we understand. Because those free riders, woke actors and business men need our money!

The only reason they didn’t gain in the House was they made the same mistake as 2016 and thought it was in the bag. They focused solely on Orange Man Bad! For all their voter fraud. They will not make that mistake again. And now since the feckless and cowardly GOP has shown they will not fight blatant fraud the Republic will be over in 3-4 election cycles. It may come down to another civil war before it’s all said and done. All because our “leaders” refuse to do the right thing.

Trump needs to do whatever it takes to conserve our nation, even if it means martial law and arresting those who conspired to steal the election. Arrest them, try them, hang them, all of them.

No quarter, no half-way measures, public hangings.
