The Left's Bungled Revolution
American Thinker ^ | J.R. Dunn

Posted on 11/13/2021 2:00:01 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The two major political elements in play over the past year are closely intertwined. Those are the new left-wing blatancy, in which the American Left scarcely attempts to hide its actual agenda anymore, and the vast number of enemies the left is lining up against itself throughout American society.

In hindsight, this makes perfect sense. How could the Left hope to maintain the support of the mass of Americans once its actual goals and methods became evident? In the past, leftists made a serious effort to shield their true agenda from scrutiny using a wide range of methods – wrapping itself in a veil of “compassion,” claiming that all opposition arose from throwback “right-wingers,” and using the most ignorant and ill-informed members of the public (teenagers and suburban matrons) to spearhead its public-influence campaigns. Overall control of the media rendered this strategy workable.

But as of 2021, that appears to have gone by the board. Instead of hiding their goals or even sugar-coating them, the left is shouting them through bullhorns: you’re not going to get Christmas. Get the jab or starve. We’re turning your kids over to the tender mercies of sexual deviants. Get ready for the Jihadi terrorists coming to your neighborhood.

It’s as if the Bolsheviks spent all of 1917 racing from village to village telling the peasants, “When we take over, you’re all being sent to Siberia. Yippee!”

Why is this happening? It can be attributed to arrogance, stupidity, historical blindness, or any other factor you’d care to name. That doesn’t matter. What does matter is that it is happening, and is, by its very nature, one of those things that can’t be unhappened once it does.

One question that arises is “if the American Left bungles its revolution, will its foreign benefactors (like China) step in to help out with force?”

I like it.

He may be right, there is evidence he is.

I certainly hope he is.

An excellent question.

It illustrates the danger we are in.

My question is when can we enact a serious retribution on these people. Some vigilante justice is in order and in Washington, DC enough lampposts to make a good start.

Just leave them in the rotten places they have created and let them live in forever without cash from ither atates. The problem is, they dont want to live in it. They want us to. Socialism isnt for the socialists.

Yep.

The Left has wounded itself and backed into a corner.

Very dangerous.

I'm often confused by the category of: "Police."

Sure, they are defunded and maligned and mistreated. But they also, to a T, are more than willing to enforce the diktats of the extreme Left.

They are surely an enigma in this equation.

good point, this could be their end game and why they are so blatant and out in the open, they have backing. A foolish move placing bulls eyes on all their backs if it ever happeneds

"None of this is going to happen. In fact, nothing at all will. It was something far more than simply a stupid move. It was an impossible one.

There are nearly 700,000 cops in the U.S., 3.5 million truckers, nearly ten million health-care workers. But the number of parents, at over 63 million dwarfs them all. The Biden administration has made enemies of every last one."

Don't be lulled into complacency. I read Orwell's "1984" in High School. 1984 seemed forever in the future. It's now twice as far in the past. I said many times that the dystopia of the book was impossible, because there would forever be far more people being watched than there ever could be realm sycophants watching them.

The error of my thinking was that I never even imagined that computers could do the watching and simply report only the 'domestic terrorists' conspiring among the 'deplorables'.

That's all that's needed now.

With approximately 17 million veterans and twice that many American Patriots, all armed to the teeth....I don't think so.

“Parents, particularly parents of school-age children, tend to inhabit a particular space along the political spectrum. They are quintessential moderates, middle-of-the-roaders who loathe extremes and yearn for stability above all, a steady environment in which to raise their families in peace and security. “Independents” is not the word – they are largely vote-splitters who cast their ballots for the least radical or frightening candidate of either party. They are easily gulled, easily led by platitudes and bogus promises. Many likely voted for Grandpa Joe as opposed to the fiery-haired monster knocking down buildings and frightening the horses. All this is now ended.”

I agree with everything except the last sentence.

“They are easily gulled, easily led by platitudes and bogus promises.” That is the definition of “useful idiots. All the left has to do to get them on their side is moderate, or obfuscate their message a bit and they will again get their vote. And with all the propaganda organs helping them out, it won’t be hard to do.

You’re already starting to see this as more and more of their outlets are saying that CRT doesn’t exist, is not being taught, and it’s just a figment of racist right wingers imagination.

But I hope I’m wrong and the author is right.

We shall see. The 2022 elections will tell the story whether this republic can survive treachery from within on a massive scale.

Exactly, the people who want socialism plan on being the benefactors, not the victims.

China won't meet our patriots on the battlefield. They will merely neuter our existing military and then choke off our supply lines.

But then, our military is now flying the rainbow flag.

And our supply lines?

When does Revolution 2 start? When our grocery stores are empty and our kids hungry, when the start dying of the Jab? Government now controls nearly every aspect of daily needs. When illegals and refugees have full control of jobs, government. Did I not read here on FR that for the first time MUZZIES held full city elected office?
