South Korea’s liberal party just gave the our GOP a masterclass in raw political power…

Have you heard? South Korea pulled a “North Korea” and just crushed their enemy into dust.

...

It all started when the liberals impeached the right-wing president. Then, they triggered a new election, which, of course, they won. And now, they’re feverishly working to expand their high court to lock in a permanent liberal majority.

Steve Bannon saw it coming back in May; he knew our South Korean allies were headed for serious trouble.

...

Would Republicans ever pull something like this? Oh, heavens no. We’re still stuck operating under the Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney battle plan: “That’s not who we are.”

But maybe it should be.

...

South Korean libs impeach Right-wing President >Win Presidential election they triggered >Immediately expands the court to give themselves a permanent majority

For those of you who don’t know, this is what wielding power without apology actually looks like.

All of this was legal. None of it would ever be even considered by the Right because our side is largely dominated by losers who view playing to win as a violation of their own principles.

...

Just like that. Done and dusted. Well, not quite…

Korea’s ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) opted, Thursday, to delay its controversial push for legislation that would dramatically expand the Supreme Court, proposing to increase the number of justices from 14 to 30. The move came amid escalating concerns over the potential impact on judicial independence.

Referred to by critics as “court packing,” the proposed bill, if enacted, is widely feared to swiftly recalibrate the ideological balance of the nation’s highest judicial body. Opponents contend such an expansion would align the court’s composition more closely with the political views of President Lee Jae-myung, who took office just this Wednesday.

The Assembly’s Legislation and Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jung Chung-rae, approved that bill on Wednesday amid opposition from the conservative People Power Party. DPK officials said it may try to pass the bill during Thursday’s plenary session at the Assembly.

Keep in mind, this was all legal. Brutal, maybe, but legal. And that’s the point. And the ramifications could be very far-reaching.

...

People don’t understand how serious it will be if South Korea has a CCP puppet as President.

And people should be more mad that USAID and A-Web are as shady as dominion when it comes to running an election.

...

Once again, China comes out ahead thanks to chaos and a controversial election. Sound familiar?

...

The left scores its biggest wins when the right’s caught napping or with its political pants around its ankles, never seeing the ambush coming.

So, while the South Koreans duke it out over the court, this is what the Right needs to understand about our situation at home: the enemy doesn’t care about your principles. They care about power. And while conservatives here keep begging for a “return to normalcy,” the Left has already bulldozed normal into oblivion and torched the map on the way out the door.

So what’s the plan – keep pretending it’s 2006 and the old rules still apply? Or wake up and realize we’re in a new era now, one where masks are off, gloves are off, and the enemy is operating in broad daylight?

The shady players were forced out of the shadows, thanks in large part to Donald Trump. His presidency shook the foundations so hard that the tyrants panicked and revealed their true face. And once you rip off the mask, there’s no putting it back on.

So again, we ask, what should our side do? Try to politely negotiate with people who don’t even believe in the game anymore, or fight back with the same unapologetic fury they’re bringing to us?

Because this is the new normal for us and the world.

Is that what the left wanted all along? To shove the right onto a playing field where we 1) didn’t want to play and 2) didn’t even know how? Yeah, probably. The real irony here is that we could’ve stopped this bullet train to hell a long time ago… if only we’d unleashed our righteous fury without apology.

The conservative leader erred big, big time when he tried to declare martial law. Anyone who knows and understands South Korea’s political history KNOWS what a bad move that was, recalling the years under South Korean dictators. That doomed the Conservative leader and the conservative party in the recent elections.

Which is exactly why doing what the author suggests in this article would backfire. He says "None of it would ever be even considered by the Right because our side is largely dominated by losers who view playing to win as a violation of their own principles.

No, its because the tradition of not doing what he advocates is strong enough that it would backfire against whichever party tried it.

He supports expanding the composition of the Supreme Court to lock in a permanent (as if there really is any such a thing in politics) conservative majority. Well, some Democrats had the same idea, but didn't end up doing it. Why not? Is it because they were too soft, or not interested in power? No -- it's because they knew the massive blowback from doing that would wipe them out. And of course, as soon as the other side happens to get in power, they'll just expand it yet again to put their majority in power.

It's idiots like this author who actually weaken the right by proposing stupid crap that gives the propaganda fodder to our political opponents.

Election theft.

Nothing our Deep State doesn’t know well and hasn’t done here and in most countries on the planet.

Romney, Ryan, the Bushes, John McCain, and many more, did all sorts of strong arm tactics against conservatives.

They know exactly how to be strong. Against us.

ugh. This is so discouraging. Trump deserves stronger Asian allies and it’s horrifying to witness any so called free country teeter tottering into outright tyranny. Hopefully some sanity will ensue soon…

He belongs to the CCP. Things are about to get interesting.

It wasn’t long ago that there was serious instability there. IIRC the President declared martial law and the Parliament overruled him. It was a big problem.
