This is not the hill for the Democrats to die on.
I haven’t written about it here at The American Spectator, at least that I can remember, but I’m becoming a subscriber to the theory that Donald Trump is the kryptonite to Saul Alinsky’s Superman.
What I mean by that is the Alinskyite Left, which encompasses basically the whole of today’s Democrat Party ever since Barack Obama took it over in the mid-2000s, is built on a definite roster of political tactics and principles, and those tactics and principles are calibrated to defeat a certain type of opponent.

Specifically, the corporatist Bush Republican blue-blood types who would buckle in the face of an impolite opposition and, most of all, spend their time cowering in a defensive position. Against folks like that, whether in a labor negotiation, political campaign, or a legislative setting, Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals work like a charm.
Of course they do.
When your opponent can’t stomach the idea of having mean things said about him, the threat of saying mean things — and that’s better than half of the essence of Alinskyism — is potent indeed.
Along comes Trump, who not only is unmoved at the idea he might be defamed by community organizers and others of their ilk but actively seeks their reprobation so that he can expose them for the radicals they are, and the entire edifice upon which the modern Democrat Party is built begins to collapse.
We can examine this in multiple contexts. Sending in federal law enforcement officers and the National Guard to Washington, D.C., and thus illuminating just how simple it actually is to bring law and order to cities Democrats have intentionally kept lawless for decades would be one example, and it would be a good one.

Never in an elevator, that’s for sure.
Well, from what I see, there is no low the democrats won’t support if it is against President Trump.
They have supported actual pedos and mutilating children. I fail to see how they can go lower.

Au contraire.... When it comes to Satan’s spawn, NEVER underestimate them.
Just when you think you can’t despise these demons enough, they’ll come with even worse BS.
Unfortunately, true.
That was a good read. Thanks!
but they have to, because her M.O. is what they’ve all been doing. T$ knows this and if she’s the 1st domino to fall, then they all can. So they must prop her up no matter what
I would phrase it slightly differently, “laws are for the little people”. Trump’s big advantage this term is that he has put in key positions those who have been treated like little people.
Once one of the self appointed betters falls, they are afraid of the reduction in living standard and the loss of the ability to lord over others as they are required to live by the laws they promulgated.
