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

Posted on 10/14/2018 6:39:58 AM PDT by Kaslin

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 public education system is an unchecked bureaucracy with lots of money.

Classic government run, top down organization where the few dictate to the many and the rank and file fall in line and do not question what they are told.

They waste money on programs that do not help the kids or worse actually hurt the kids. They treat the kids like little experiments in social engineering.

What little coverage was given to people being terrorized by the mob is going to stop. The MSM knows it’s killing the Rats at the polls so they will simply not run any stories short of someone getting killed.

DEMOCRAT Party, not ‘democratic’.

Back in the day, I actually voted for a Democrat. He had been the sheriff in our county in TX and ensured that every inmate in the county jail had a Bible placed in his cell.

Today’s ‘democrats’ are a perversion. My 2 senators (VA) are perfect examples. I’m voting for Corey Stewart.

democrat

That mob is already has caused several cases of serious physical violence. I’m afraid that a Conservative talk show host or commentator will be next.

It wasn’t originally Dem’s, but social Marxists (progressives) that infiltrated education. Dewey then Wilson in the 1910’s, then The Frankfurt School in the 1940’s. Feankfurt’s social Marxist operatives infiltrated teaching colleges, then teacher unions, then the D party. Columbia U was/is their HQ (check how many rats and deep staters attended there, like Barry did).

From there, the indoctrinated infiltrated news/media/Hollywood and churches, and most recently social media.

Frankfurt School’s approach was to get to American children, over time, and flip them.

They’ve largely succeeded, imo, because after WWII ended, so many were so happy it was over and wanted to have peaceful lives again, they just ignored the 1960’s radicals as a ‘youth thing’ blip. But, they were the onset of socialist cancer. And it is now systemic.

Maybe the days of the left controlling the language is over. They label evil good and good evil. Time to strip the veil away.

No, this is a huge problem.

For many years now, the military has been inducting historically and economically illiterate, anti-American youth, and has allowed them throughout all ranks. Our NCO’s and Officer ranks are absolutely riddled with left wing guns for hire.

This was happening well before the Obamanation. However it went into full on libtard and social engineering with his purges of many patriots, and their replacement by politically left wing social justice warriors.

To this day, every general, including Mattis, is afraid to try and fix this.

The years of left wing infiltration into our military have now resulted in our Intel Agencies and the DoJ/FBI being largely populated by left wing oriented historically and economically illiterate non-loyal, mercenary’s. This may seem harsh, but from experience, most are truly only in these positions for pay, and left wing ego.

To this day, true American loving, liberty defending, Constitution loyalists, are accutely afraid of their voices even being heard for fear of reprisal or losing their jobs, across the IC community. Left wing, anti-American, anti-Trump, pro homosexual, social justice, global warming, pro globalist conversations go on at high desibal everywhere! Osis internet searches and websires are monitored in many installations and facilities against soldiers and IC members visiting sites like Drudgereport etc... While at the same time, large wall monitors are often channeled to CNN or MSNBC, or other anti-American type outlets.

Many agency supervisors are either pro homosexual, or claim to be homosexual themselves. The IC “community” is forced to celebreate all things anti-Christian, and as a result, all things constitutional and lawful.

Under Obama, it was made a matter of punishably enforced DoD policy to keep amd eradicate any and all potentially anti-obama/anti-left wing policy outlets from DoD installations and operations.

Now that Trump is in office, it has become a bit more careful, but remains militantly left-wing and largely anti-Trump.

At the end of the day, our Intel and top law enforcement services (DoJ/FBI), like pre WWII Germany, have been largely and arguably taken over by left wing /socialist/pro-homosexual “BrownShirts”.

Like the long fought takeover of our educational system, it was also necessary for the takeover of the levers which control our military and police.

How to fix this, when so many have been brainwashed against the US, our Constitution, and our liberty, is a huge problem which absolutely must be corrected if we even can.

Good post. I hope other FReepers are paying attention. The DoD is infested with leftist feminists and homosexual freaks top to bottom. Every aspect of life in the military is tainted with what these social justice thugs have installed.

Nothing is being done to reverse this threat to national security. 19 months and counting...

Excellent summary of the 3 letter left wing mobs in America:

DOD, DOJ/FBI, CIA!

“MOBS or JOBS!”

This needs to be shouted from the rooftops in the days leading up to November 6th. It’s that simple.

I attended both Bush2 inaugurations. Dem disrupters were trying to block entrances even to the unticketed areas but they were not threatening bodily harm. In 2017, the Dem mobs had gotten much worse, enough to frighten me from going.

if the left doesn’t win an election, they try to do whatever they can to prevent Republicans from enjoying their victory. Classic bullying.

Exactly right. Violent Democrat mobs arose during Reconstruction and their tactics haven't changed one bit across the centuries. There were many Democrat vigilante groups like the KKK; it was just the most infamous group...
Racial Violence in Reconstruction

More premeditated was the violence committed by organized vigilante groups, sometimes called nightriders or bushwhackers. Groups of nightriders—called so because they often operated at night, under cover of darkness and wearing disguises—sought to curtail African American political involvement by harassing and killing black candidates and office holders and frightening voters away from the polls. They also aimed to limit black economic mobility by terrorizing freedpeople who tried to purchase land or otherwise become too independent from the white masters they used to rely on. They were terrorists and vigilantes, determined to stop the erosion of the antebellum South, and they were widespread and numerous, operating throughout the South. The Ku Klux Klan emerged in the late 1860s as the most infamous of these groups.

Unfortunately, most history texts refuse to call them DEMOCRAT mobs.

But make no mistake, the mob is real and it’s not spontaneous or accidental.

Professional 'organizers' know how to whip up a fury ... it's part of organizing and it's what's underscoring American mobs.
