Salon: Trump Supporting Friends Should be Dead to You(LOL! NOH8!)
newsbusters.org ^ | 6/15/2018 | Rachel Peterson

You can’t be friends with people who disagree with you about politics. At least that’s what Salon wants you to think.

Salon political staff writer Chauncey Devega commands you to cut Trump supporters completely out of your life, saying that, “If you have friends or relatives who support Donald Trump you should confront them. Explain to them that they are complicit with Trump's cruelty and sadism.”

Then he tells her readers to, “communicate that you will no longer speak with them, nor will you offer them emotional, financial or other types of support until they denounce Donald Trump and what he represents — and make amends through speech and action.” A public confession, rending of the garments, self-flagellation, etc.

Chauncey sounds nice, doesn’t he? No wonder progressives are so miserable -- they’re incapable of compartmentalizing. Just ask noted hockey fan and parade enthusiast David Corn.

“OMG- I told my husband ‘we’re changing the will!” Same thing- we worked too hard to give our $$ to people that don’t like us.”

Have I told you lately how much I appreciate you and like you?

“...move away from attacking the President directly and demonizing his supporters instead...as a pretest for CWII.”

If that’s what the Dems are up to, it’s a strategically stupid move and only warns us Deplorables to arm up, buy more ammo, make those already staggering NICS statistics soar even higher, and make it clear that CWII will be a very messy affair for them, complete with armed resistance.

[Not unrelated: GVRO/Red Flag laws are a frontal assault on due process as much as `civil asset forfeiture’, only worse. If a GVRO bill comes up in your state, fight it tooth & nail. Look what’s happened to NJ in the last two days.]

Pres. Trump needs to tweet out, “To those who voted for me, remember I’ve got your back and that we’re all in this culture war together, whether we want to be or not. Because they hate me, they hate you even more for making me your President. Don’t ever forget that and keep situationally aware. God bless America!”

“It could be anything from Republicans sweeping the mid-terms to Trump’s re-election. But I have little doubt the left will, when they come to grips with their utter lack of political power, act out violently. Worse than 1968 Chicago.”

I’m older that a lot of you and can remember the 1968 Dem Convention very well. That was when there were real “conservative Dems.” Scoop Jackson was a patriotic Dem senator who opposed the Lib tide that was already beginning to fight to take over the Dem party.

Anyway, the riots that took place were just scattered, even the race riots. Most of the country had no violence and was disgusted by it. This is what brought Nixon to power. I am afraid that the violence will be most more widespread if Trump wins a second term.

This is actually incredibly dangerous, and frankly, EVIL.

They've said over and over again, that they don't want to "normalize Trump." But what they're doing here is actually dehumanizing those with whom they disagree. Former friends are relative are "dead to you?" Gee, that's exactly what Mao, Hitler, and Stalin demanded of their people in order to slaughter them by the tens of millions.

I have never "unfriended" the hard core leftist "friends" I have on FB, though I rarely go there any more, and when I do, I have to admit I do enjoy tweaking them at times. But I have been "unfriended" by dozens of people on FB. I am dead to them. That's find. But when I was unfriended by a couple of family members, well that got me to thinking that was exactly how it starts. Children informing on their parents. Neighbors and co-workers informing. Then the short walk to liquidation.

Chauncey Devega must not be familiar with the Western construct of inheritance and how potential beneficiaries should watch their p-s and q-s at the risk of being left out in the cold over shows of disrespect.

But his mindset does give a glimpse into why there are so many ongoing conflicts in places like South America and Africa - everybody’s walking around with chips on their shoulders and are taught to unconditionally hate anyone who disagrees with their viewpoint. 100 politicians shot in Mexico this election season - by people who think like Chauncey - and it’s not even primary day.

Liberals can’t take jokes or sarcasm. CBS went crazy when Trump made the remark about “his people” being attentive to what he says the ay Rocket Man’s People do.

Of course he was joking around, but context means nothing to a Leftist on a mission.

BTW, it was Obama who told his Supporters when “they” (that would be us) bring a Knife, you bring a Gun.

Imagine POTUS Trump saying the exact same thing.

Proper English Composition isn’t very important when you want to Slander the POTUS.

I know. The depth of their vitriolic rankings are at least tempered by them using the "NOH8" stickers. What morons. Back to the show! 📽

Saul Alinsky’s Rules from Rules for Radicals

Saul Alinsky describes 24 rules in Rules for Radicals. Of those 24 rules, 13 are rules of “power tactics”:

1. “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy
thinks you have.”

2. “Never go outside the experience of your people.”

3. “Wherever possible go outside of the experience of the
enemy.”

4. “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.”

5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

6. “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.”

7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”

8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and
actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”

9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing
itself.”

10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of
operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”

11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will
break through into its counterside.”

12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive
alternative.”

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

The remaining 11 rules Alinsky describes are concerned with “the ethics of means and ends”:

1. “One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue … Accompanying this rule is the parallel one that one’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s distance from the scene of conflict.”

2. “The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.”

3. “In war the end justifies almost any means.”

4. “Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.”

5. “Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.”

6. “The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.”

7. “Generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.”

8. “The morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”

9. “Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical.”

10. “You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.”

11. “Goals must be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’ ‘Of the Common Welfare,’ ‘Pursuit of Happiness,’ or ‘Bread and Peace.’”

So many leftists are just extremely intollerant and closed-minded (while laughably claiming to be the opposite). This one from Salon also seems to be delusional on top of that.

Works for me. I’ve already cut anyone who supported obama and the hildabeast out of my life. Now if we can decide who gets what part of the country ...

You are very welcome. I wish I would have the patience and talent to actually respond quickly to nonsensical statements by liberals.

But it really is true that most of them abhor the name of God or Jesus, and smiling at them may just be the thing to really get their attention.

Rachel has this backwards. It's not that many of Trump's supporters are dead to Rachel and her friends, but it is Rachel and her friends that are dead to many of the Trump supporters. Yes, they are dead to God and Jesus' followers, therefore they are the dead.

1John 5:12 - He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
