Of Course The Liberal Mob Is Real
Townhall.com ^ | October 14, 2018 | Derek Hunter

There are few things that get liberals riled up like exposing them for exactly who and what they are. They hate it, almost as much as they hate people who don’t fall in lockstep with their every demand. So when President Trump started talking about the “mob” liberals have become, “journalists” leapt to their defense, naturally. But there is no defense from the truth; no matter how earnestly a CNN or MSNBC personality insists the Sun rises in the west, that doesn’t make it so. The Democratic Party is the party of the mob.

It wasn’t that long ago that the fringe of the political left was just that – a fringe. They’d used mommy and daddy’s credit card or their trust fund money to congregate at a G7 summit or meeting of the International Monetary Fund, then go back to whatever college town they refused to grow up in. Now there is no afghan of the party left, it’s all fringe.

What used to be ignored as it smashed the windows of a Starbucks and set trashcans on fire in the streets every couple of years is now what the Democrats are counting on to deliver them a majority in the House of Representatives.

So where did this mob come from?

The simple answer is they’ve always been there, only they’re emboldened now.

The spirit of the mob in inherent in the left, what they want requires something from others – either their money or obedience, and often times both. But the realities of life tended to keep this instinct in check outside the ballot box. Then millennials entered the scene.

A generation raised on unearned self-esteem has spent their college years destroying the governor that most people solidify in childhood controlling their worst impulses. Temper tantrums in the quad and shouting down speakers who might say something they don’t like were rewarded with success for four years, it’s only natural they’d maintain that mentality in adulthood. Add in funding – both in salaries and bail money – and you have an army of social justice warriors with an inflated sense of entitlement and a willingness to shoulder aside accepted norms.

Being desperate for votes, Democrats saw where the energy was in their base and encouraged it. The rhetoric was turned up to 11 immediately after Trump won, knowing they’d have to keep that November 2016 rage simmering for 2 years, and that fire sucked in more people.

With any simmer that goes on long enough, it’s become a rolling boil.

The outrage Democrats have been living off of has morphed into pure rage, and it has to directed somewhere. That’s why no Democratic Party leader will seriously condemn the chasing of Senators down the hallways, out of restaurants, or harassing them in their homes. They will literally tolerate anything short of violence from their base before the midterm elections, and depending on the level of violence, they’d likely tolerate some of that too.

But the label of “mob” puts a bright light on each and every transgression, and on the fact that the “leaders” of the party are condoning them through silence. That’s why the serious pushback on the label from the Washington Post to the cable networks. Even if people haven’t seen the footage the mainstream media has tried to bury, that label brings those images, and worse, to mind. Democrats can’t have that, it goes against their plans.

So you have an “all hands on deck” situation where anchors are insisting that what is actually is not. It’d be professionally devastating is journalists had any credibility left, or even shame. They don’t.

But make no mistake, the mob is real and it’s not spontaneous or accidental. This is their plan – to keep their core voters as angry and afraid as possible so they go to the polls. I wrote a book about how the liberal mob came into being and how it infected all aspects of the culture, it was only a matter of time before the party as a whole co-opted it. Part of co-opting it requires ignoring its worse aspects, and the mob is littered with worse aspects.

Expect the mob to continue to rage, well-funded and emboldened by the passive encouragement from their leaders. But a word of warning, if you are vocal with your politics you should keep your head on a swivel. Any child lacking discipline will inevitably test boundaries and cross lines, but a child is one person and will eventually tire. A mob feeds off itself, off its members, and people in a group will go much further than any of them would alone. In other words, no matter how insistent the likes of Don Lemon Brooke Baldwin are that they don’t exist, the mob is here for the foreseeable future. And it’s only going to get worse.

The dems learned long ago to keep people uneducated so they can be lead around by the nose. That’s why they designed and built the public school system.

“A generation raised on unearned self-esteem”

Some are currently serving in the US military, so maybe there is hope.

Disagree. The public school system was in it’s conception designed and built with honorable intentions.....To educate the masses.

But the left learned early on that to ultimately control a society one must start with the very young. They therefor made complete control of the public schools there number 1 priority.

They have been amazingly successful in that endeavor because the vast majority of the public has let them.

Right, but it also serves to drive away centrists from the Dem party. And there are a whole lot more centrists in America than rabid leftists.

Yep...... the mob has always been there

At the last Bush innauguration, the mob swarmed the DC streets preventing us and lots and lots of others from entering the area designated for ticket holders.

Even then there were many covering their faces with black bandanas.

They did not however, prevent us from attending the FReeper innaugural ball and meeting our FRiends

Great quote I ran across here:

“The Democrats used to be the party of the working man. Now they’re the party of the screaming woman.”

There's another reason for these mob types not growing up; they never had jobs in high school. Seeing your first paycheck going to the government first and then you was the most consistent path to being a grownup.

Now that paycheck goes to illegal aliens, who minimize the income tax withholding because they don't file tax returns anyway, unless of course they can scam the government to get refundable credits from the 1040.

So, like every other problem this country has, the solution here starts with getting the illegals out.

Seeing the door pounders at the Supreme Court, I developed a very politically incorrect joke about Midol not working any more and needing a formula reboot and an FDA audit, but I have avoided using it because it might be too politically incorrect. So I will save it for another time.

Wow, some classics in that early paragraph...
...return to the college town they refused to grow up in
...all fringe, no afghan

LOL
