National Democratic Party official suggests re-education for Trump supporters: 'How do you deprogram 75 million people?'
The Blaze ^ | November 19, 2020 | Sarah Taylor

Some murky territory here

SARAH TAYLOR David Atkins, a newly elected California member of the Democratic National Committee, declared recently that Democrats and liberals should "start thinking in terms of post-WWII Germany or Japan" in order to "deprogram 75 million people."

POLL: Who is the most corrupt? The 75 million people he referred to are presumably Trump supporters.

According to the Associated Press, President Donald Trump received more than 73 million votes during the 2020 presidential election.

What are the details? Conservative activist Jack Posobiec tweeted Atkins' remarks, captioning them, "A Democrat Party official in California is calling for national re-education camps for families who voted for Trump. This is not OK."

Where do you start? Fox? Facebook? We have to start thinking in terms of post-WWII Germany or Japan. Or the failures of Reconstruction in the South."

"This is not your standard partisan policy disagreement," said Atkins, who is also a self-described author and activist. "This is a conspiracy theory fueled belligerent death cult against reality & basic decency. The only actual policy debates of note are happening within the dem coalition between left and center left."

After receiving comments questioning his tweets, Atkins continued by attacking some conservatives for their ideals.

"I know conservatives are upset by some of the responses here," he continued. "And yeah, many are out of line. But what do you expect people to do in self-preservation? The Right has been running 4 years on 'f*** your feelings, my conspiracy theories are valid opinions, and we have more guns."

"You can't run on a civil war footing hopped up on conspiracy theories hating everyone who lives in cities, mainlining Fox/Breitbart/QAnon, threatening to kidnap governors and shoot protesters, without people trying to figure out how to reverse the brainwashing," he continued.

"[I] mean, for chrissakes, conservatives are literally giving themselves COVID just to own the libs," Atkins railed. "They're dying in COVID wards insisting they don't have COVID because it must be a liberal plot. People are gonna try to figure out how to defend themselves."

According to his website, Atkins served as a volunteer in Howard Dean's failed presidential campaign.

"In the 15 years since, I haven't stopped organizing to beat Republicans, support progressive causes, and hold the Democratic Party accountable to its values," the page boasts.

"Recently as a party activist I have ... [c]o-authored a successful resolution that the California Democratic Party passed in support key economic components of the Green New Deal," his page continues, pointing out the rest of his more recent accomplishments, which you can read all about here.

“My bet is that fewer than 10% of the American public would fire back”

What is that, like 20 million people? That would be rather formidable.

That is one of the key problems in The West.

There is no where to run.

Leftism has poisoned urban and suburban areas.

Conservatives need to establish and build enclaves.

That is, after all, how countries began.

That is an additional item I did not mention.

I would not band with anyone in these forums, if it were even an option.

Trust but verify.

Can’t do that online, and I sure won’t trust a digital certificate!

And to others who have commented on my posts: there are places where the yoke will be less.

....You don't mess with an angry 72 million of anything, not even butterflies. If any sizable percentage of 72 million people decide they've had it with this nonsense, guns will not even be needed.

They would win using gardening tools.

well, they have already gotten to #3, but after that, it will get rather stressful for them.

Across 2.9M sq. miles in CONUS, that means ~1 person every 10 miles? Not saying it’s not formidable, but we’re not “regulars” like we were 250 years ago. People are going out, buying a rifle or a handgun, and it’s sitting in a drawer.

This I hope would be thwarted through the exercising of our second amendment rights. If it requires killing (not murdering) 70+ million Democrats, then we can simply rationalize that as the cost of freedom. I believe a little hyperbole is in order to the scare the schiff out of these bastards to avoid real blood shed.

It should be no surprise why they want sleepy Joe in the White House. All he’ll do is sit around and sign whatever is put before him like the Gov in Blazing Saddles. Others will be implementing measures of takeover. And never be fooled that Barry is still calling shots. He is the weatherundergrounds point man.

That org said that 25 million hard-core patriots would need extermination. That was back in the early 70s. Triple that now...er, 75 mil???

David O Atkins even once caught the attention of the "Other McCain", commentor Stacy McCain, who is a RINO, yet sometimes clever wordsmith who doesn't suffer fools like Atkins.

Saying ‘Thank You’ to David Atkins, Stacy McCain, July 20, 2019

"Everybody had a good point-and-laugh at David Atkins’s expense, without wondering: Why would a California Democrat be so filled with loathing of “rural white evangelicals”? Was he bullied by militant Baptists as a child? Has he ever actually met any of the rural white people he says are thoroughly despised by “the vast majority of Americans”?

No, he’s just a liberal who can look at the map and read the exit polls the same as you or I can, and who therefore understands which demographic category most strongly supports the Republican Party.

[Atkins] hates white people and Christians and rural America because they are an obstacle to the Democrats’ project of turning America into a totalitarian one-party regime where dissent from the approved opinions is forbidden.

Of course, Atkins himself is white, but he lives in Santa Barbara, an affluent seaside enclave of privilege where the media home value is over $900,000 and only 1.4% of the population is black. It’s very easy for people who live in such circumstances to imagine that they are morally superior to everyone who lives in, say, Lowndes County, Georgia, where 37% of the population is black and the median home value is $129,700."

And one need only briefly peruse the subject of this thread's Twatter timeline to find that he and his cadre are living right now in dead fear of this very thing. Schadenfreude.

"First, you must survive attempts to confiscate our weapons.".....Then you must allow free speech even when it is NOT your agenda. Schools are not for propaganda...you must allow more Conservative Professors in universities and colleges. Then you must allow free thought for all, We The People demand our Rights.....

I can't believe this nonsense, in fact it is mind boggling so many citizens of this country haven't a clue....the propaganda about this Administration and this POTUS have reduced this lazy citizenry to parroting instead of researching. We The People are the party of the U.S. Constitution...the Left/Democrat Party are the party of Intolerance.
