‘We are at war – bring it on’: Democrats ready to fight dirty to stop Trump

Republican push for gerrymandered congressional maps triggers down-and-dirty from new generation – will it work?

It was a stirring speech that brought Democrats to tears. “When someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don’t stoop to their level,” Michelle Obama told them in Philadelphia in 2016. “No, our motto is: ‘When they go low, we go high.’”

Fast forward to Ken Martin, chair of the Democratic National Committee, speaking in Chicago this week. “This is not the Democratic party of your grandfather, which would bring a pencil to the knife fight,” he insisted. “This is a new Democratic party. We’re bringing a knife to a knife fight, and we are going to fight fire with fire.”

It was a brutally honest acknowledgement of what a decade of Donald Trump’s politics has wrought. Out go the courtly and courteous playing-by-the-rules Democrats convinced that Maga is a passing phase, a fever that will break. In come a new generation of pugnacious Democrats prepared to take off the gloves and fight dirty.

The trigger for this scorched-earth approach is Trump’s push to find more Republican seats in the House of Representatives ahead of next year’s crucial midterm elections through gerrymandering, a process of manipulating electoral maps to benefit one party over another.

At the president’s urging, Texas Republicans have proposed new congressional districts aimed at flipping five Democratic-held seats, diluting the voting power of millions of people of colour and further skewing an already deeply partisan map in that state.

Trump also dispatched his vice-president, JD Vance, to Indiana to discuss redistricting with the state governor and legislative leaders in the hope of gaining one or two Republican seats. Separately, a top Republican leader in Florida announced plans to begin redistricting efforts in the...

Note to the folks at the Guardian, you might want to watch this first...

Benny Johnson just uploaded a 12 and a half minute vid on Crockett on his YouTube channel...

https://youtu.be/Ijwa1KsXk0s?feature=shared

He compares where Crockett grew up to her district...

He just lays waste.

Watch and share.

What a hoot!

It's hard to imagine that even they can write that with a straight face!

Maybe they didn't.

Meanwhile....

During a 'Pedos Out' protest in the U.K., this man said this, "it's just a shame we haven't got a great man in charge like Mr. Trump, we need Mr. Trump in charge over here to be honest with you."

Can't wait for Pres. Trump's visit to the UK next month...

They write what their Deep State tells them to write.

I can’t think of a single newspaper in the UK that isn’t their Deep State’s.

The level of delusion here is astounding. You CANNOT OT go beyond possibility . The democrats ran two bogus impeachments, four bogus trials, two attempts at assassination , a fake ginned up conspiracy and on and on. In my humble opinion They only have violence left. Terrorisim . Period.

“No, our motto is: ‘When they go low, we go high.’”

Well they must never have gone low then because the Democrats have NEVER gone high.

Remember we're talking about the Democrat Party--viz. the party of slavery, the Trail of Tears, the ku klux klan, infanticide, election fraud, and every other evil ever devised by man or the devil!

Their motto is "Accuse your enemy of what you are doing."

‘We are at war’ with WHAT? A duly elected by the people President of the United States who is doing lawful things and protecting his citizens from the crime and lawlessness caused by NOT enforcing the law to protect American citizens?

Skewed logic.

“It’s said you should never bring a knife to a gunfight. My view is that you should bring a bazooka to a gunfight."

Has it occurred to you that your opponent might show up with several bazooka?

"They fear that Democrats will sacrifice the moral high ground"

The party of the ku klux klan, slavery, the Trail of Tears, election fraud, and infanticide is going to sacrifice the moral high ground???

If theirs is the moral high ground, pray that they never reach the moral low ground.

“bleach blonde bad-built butch body”

'Trump is “a piece of s--t”'

That's all they have: ad hominem attacks and vulgar personal attacks but no substance whatsoever. They have nothing to offer. That's why failure is their destiny--and good riddance.

The party of debanking opponents; of bringing multiple lawsuits over lies and no offenses; of using the courts to screw your fellow Americans; of stealing money through NGOs funded by their cohorts in Congress; of trying to lock you don’t like up for life; of associating with pedophiles; of using the FBI and CIA to help you spread felonious lies about the opposition; of putting people like Tulsi Gabbard on the no-fly list; of bringing in rapists, murderers, drunk drivers, terrorists without the slightest background check and spreading them around the US by air on taxpayer money; of padding your districts with illegal aliens; of putting Marxists on the courts. So just what harm to us can they do by going low when they’ve been this low for decades?
