The middle class has always been the enemy of the marxist elitists. The middle class were the victims of genocide in the Soviet Union and China. Our new leftists must just want to honor tradition.

The political class hates Americans and wants to import millions of people who will be more compliant.

[DOC44]

Those better than thou feel they look taller when standing on those they feel should be considered beneath them.

[Mark17]

Vilificators gotta vilificate. Are those real words? 👍😀

[Oscar in Batangas]

I attribute it to demonic forces in the Cosmos, who are totally opposed to the Judeo-Christian foundation of our country and are speaking through the democrat part of the political spectrum.

[TheThirdRuffian]

They call us names because they hate us. No mystery.

It’s a larger question of why they hate us.

Mainly because we won’t submit, I think.

Same reason muslims hate Jews.

[Qwapisking]

it isn’t just the political class of the liberal minded but their rank and file that take bullying to a whole new level in deed AND in word. most Americans who are conservatives just want to enjoy life and relish peace and above all just want to be LEFT ALONE. truest statement on the state of the leftist mind...”Conservatives seek agreement while liberals demand compliance” L.Star

[EBH]

Objectify the enemy. It is one of the steps in genocide.

Unfortunately, we will be the first victims of their wrath someday.

First they came for the bitter clingers, and I did not speak out—because I was not a bitter clinger.

Then they came for the deplorables, and I did not speak out—because I was not a deplorable.

Then they came for the ultra-MAGA, and I did not speak out—because I was not a ultra-MAGA.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Jennifer Lopez was crying the other day at a speech saying Trump couldn’t get into office. Sure she doesn’t want that to happen. She is scared her Diddy sex tapes will be released. Tapes of Diddy with young boys. Have you noticed he can’t close his mouth? Diddy is incapable of closing his mouth. Just a fact.

The middle class has always been the enemy of the marxist elitists.

Absolutely and unavoidably. The middle class is comprised of those who make their own decisions. The elite make decisions for others. The freeloading subsidized let others make decisions for them.

And under Marxism, only the state (i.e. the elite) can be allowed to make decisions, or the authoritarian socialist state would not be able to control everything.

And since authority (to make decisions) and responsibility (consequences of those decisions) always balance in the end, if the state ('society') is making all the decisions, then criminals are breaking the law because 'society' made them do so.

The whole 'global warming', 'anthropogenic climate change' scam is about extending state control into every aspect of our lives. They're already using it for not only what sort of jobs we can have, but how we set our home thermostats, what sort of vehicle we use (ultimately to become mass transit), what sort of food we are allowed to eat, and every other decision.

They're not really after Trump. They're after the middle class, and he just stands in the way.

[Sirius Lee]

It's not just the left. The neocons that infect this site refer to us as WMA dummies and Trump cultists.

There's not a lick of difference between obama and a country club republican.

On my way to the Trump rally I met some irredemables, haters, garbage, fascists, evangelicals, deplorables, bitter-clingers, and an authoritarin.
new game for long car rides.

[RoosterRedux]

Why the vilification? It’s the Alinsky treatment.

[cgbg]

Yup—in a few years the leftists and Neocons get to take all that hate and focus it on Vance.

I think he can handle it.

It will be a reminder (for anyone who needs reminding) that the leftist vicious smears and slander are not about President Trump.

They are about you.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

But it will likely be defined by those who are not just tired of being smeared as the underbelly of America but, far more unforgivably, are beginning to enjoy and mock the disparagement from those who have never earned the right to smear anyone but themselves.
