Looking backwards in a few years, it is entirely possible that we will see that December 2021 was the high-water mark of the great progressive coup, when leftists reached out for the brass ring, but their soft, girlish hands were too weak to grasp it. It is likely all downhill for them from here, though that is not entirely clear to us right now. When Gandalf returned from getting balrogged in the Lord of the Rings flicks, he says, “I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide." Except all their big battles were still ahead. And even if the tide has turned for us too, so are ours.
But perhaps this epic elf opera, as my pal Kenny dubbed the genre, has some wisdom to impart. We have huge fights before us, and we can still lose. Yet, if you look at the trends, if you look at the correlations of forces, in retrospect we might wonder why the hell we were so worried. Sometimes, when a jury comes back and the verdict goes my way, it seems to me that, looking back, it could not have done otherwise. But now we are in the moment, in the struggle, and it’s hard to get clarity even as we keep taking casualties. The fog of war is thick and opaque, but as we enter a new year, the odds grow ever in our favor.
Look at President Asterisk, at least on the few occasions they let him out to stagger about muttering incoherently. This guy is polling lower than Kamala’s dating standards. It’s not just us activists who are sick of him. It’s everyone.
Joe Manchin said No Deal to his New Deal 2.0. The filibuster isn’t going anywhere. Nor is the rest of his agenda. The Democrats managed to lose Virginia. Their majorities are on borrowed time. Nancy Pelosi is counting down the days until she punches out and goes back to her mansions; Chuck Schumer is as lousy a Senate majority leader as the wily Murder Turtle was a cunning one. There is literally nothing for the Democrats to look forward to in 2022 but pain. Grandpa Badfinger is on the defensive, which is convenient because they keep him hidden in his bunker.
Biden promised us a return to normalcy. If this is normal, give us more of those mean tweets. Afghans fall from airplanes as our grocery bills rise. China and Russian are shaking us down for lunch money. Kids come home from their garbage public schools crying because their unionized teacher told them they were privileged. College grads are frustrated that * failed to keep his promise about making the rest of us pay for their Oppression Studies degrees. Everything on Netflix is woke crap. Men are taking women’s swim records and the chick Jeopardy championship.
Did he fail to beat COVID as promised? Yeah. Is the media trying to convince you that he never said he would beat COVID? Yeah. Is it going to work? Nah.
The left’s most effective direct engagement weapon system, the regime media that is dedicated wholly to promoting and protecting the official, approved narrative, is becoming ever less effective as it squanders the one thing that makes it useful – credibility with the normals. We activists know the legacy media is a collection of trash-spewing liars committed to shrimping the toes of whatever Democrat is reading from that day’s narrative memo. But now the normal folks are getting the message.
Us wokecons sniff at the constant stream of photos of maskless richies dining as masked servants stand mute, or of hard 5 (though probably DC 8) congressgirls sipping cosmos with their beta boyfriends in the Free State of Florida. We know these people are hypocrites who don’t believe a word of their monotonous Marxist monologues. But normal folks who don’t live on Twitter are shocked by them not doing what they demand we do. It matters to normal people because, adorably, they still have a residual belief in the essential integrity of the system. When they encounter hypocrisy among their ruling caste, they get offended. It matters, and they hate it.
Luckily for us, our enemies are dumb. Oh, and they are arrogant too. They really do think that they are geniuses, and that we are idiots. Sun Tzu warned that to defeat your enemy you must know him. But they don’t read Sun Tzu, which would seem weird since he’s not a dead white male, yet it becomes clear from how Harvard and the rest habitually discriminate against academically-inclined Asians. But we read Sun Tzu, and we know them. We know that they did not get where they are at the heads of our institutions because they earned it. They did not build them. They were handed the keys because they went and got the garbage credentials at their universities and because they politicked up the ladder. These are unaccomplished people. We are not fighting Lex Luthor or some criminal genius; we are fighting the robbers in Home Alone.
But we should not deceive ourselves into thinking this is going to be easy. They will not just walk away from their power and prestige without a struggle. They will fight, and not fairly. We are already seeing it with the 1/6 inquisition violating every rule and right to try to criminalize dissent and opposition. They will ruin you if they can, cancel you, arrest you, destroy you, or worse. Do not underestimate their fascist tendencies and authoritarian dreams. You rely on them having consciences at your peril. Ask Ashli Babbitt about what they will do to you if they can.
So, 2022 will be key to securing victory. We can see their plan, and it’s weak. Their big plan is saturation coverage on MSNBCNN of the peril to the Republic posed by people who dissent from the regime. We are light-years away from dissent being patriotic again, but fear not – it will be the second President DeSantis takes the oath. But less than 1 percent of America watch leftist cable every night, and most of them live in DC. Great job, guys – way to help the 2024 Harris/Buttigieg ticket win 96 percent of the votes in Washington, while losing everywhere else.
They will start with a “commemoration” of the terrible, horrible, insurrectiony assault on democracy and stuff of January 6th, though usually that kind of activity takes place on a Jeffrey Toobin Zoom call or on the streets of a blue city. They will talk about a Republican coup while moms swear at having to pay double for milk under Biden compared with what they paid under Trump. Feel free to fight over Muh Democracy, Dems; we’ll fight over real stuff and kick your Swalwells.
Down the road we may well look at this winter of Democrat discontent as the turning point. It is not a done deal. We need to keep fighting. But odds are that we’re going to win. In fact, we may have already won.
Sorry, Kurt, you are a moron.
Did Obamacare get repealed after Trump and GOP took control?
No.
Neither will the rules and excesses of Biden be repealed just because the GOP wins the House (and possibly the Senate). No. It will only slow them down.
To say that slowing down the left is a victory is self-deception at its best and moronic at its worst.
Disagree. Entropy always wins. and the D’s ARE entropy.
They will cheat again. We always say we have to win by 10% to beat the fraud, now that doesn’t work if they can switch the votes during the COUNT. I’m firmly convinced that if Trump has accumulated 100 million voters’ votes, we’d be talking about how Biden had 101 million votes today. Not “VOTERS,” but votes, like his 81 million. There is no way Hidin’ Biden got more votes than the most popular president in history. None. Trump could give 24 hours notice and FILL a massive campaign stop. Biden had a handful of media at his. ZERO way Biden really beat Trump.
I have the operator’s manual for the vote counting machines. It describes how to “adjust” percentages. Built to cheat. The harder Trump campaigned, the most POPULAR president in history, the more votes got switched by percentages.
There are two solutions: Civil war, or back to paper ballots, and guns pointing at those that count them.
The most important step of fighting election fraud is to admit it happens. Half the country has admitted it. We are on our way back after nearly losing it all. The Swamp will fight extra hard to stop it because their necks will be in nooses if they don’t.
The Republican Party has not admitted that they were cheated out of the presidency. They won’t admit it, and they won’t fight back.
So, it will happen again.
It’s different this time. The left has usually had the support of Women. By pushing CRT they have pushed them into Mama bear mode. That is why they lost Virgina.
Some Republicans have admitted the fraud. Those that don’t face getting primaried. The situation is like France in 1783. The working people have reach their boiling point against the inbred aristocracy. That is why Trump won twice . Stealing it from him is what pushed the temperature up along with CRT and leftist riots.
At this point I would have to add, name calling is not reaching for the stars.
...and repeal of Obamacare is just one of a million shiny objects cluttering our minds.
What if it had been repealed? Would that have been a definitive example of a winning philosophy?
If the GOP gets an election win and takes the House, and or the Senate then we will see a battle between the Woke and the awakened, for the restoration of a Republic vs the “our democracy” of the democrats.
Until we get the first win, we may as well be spitting upwind.
I get the same feeling about the Democrat Party that I do about “Beth” in the Yellowstone TV series...Something’s gotta give. She’ll wind up in prison or working at HOOTERS, while a bunch of Democrats end up just going to prison and maybe working at HOOTERS after they’re released.
Yes, it would have shown that we have elected officials willing to surrender the big gov't programs (money and power).
Instead, we still have wet dreams about eliminating the Department of Education.
These stories about "turning points" are nothing more than pabulum fed to the mindless who think we are actually accomplishing something while socialism marches forward nonstop.
If you think a local victory in a small state translates to something more 3 years later, you are the biggest fool around.
Women will not support Trump or other GOP candidate after the left and media get through with their false allegations.
Women voted for Clinton despite her husband's sexual assaults.
So take your pollyanna wet dreams elsewhere.
Well said. People are dillusional if they think this country is going to be saved by feckless gop ballot “victories”.
I really think we are at the threshold of taking Sharon Angle’s solution seriously or else all is lost.
“This guy is polling lower than Kamala’s dating standards.”
LOL!
It is impossible to win if you do not believe it is possible.
Those who preach defeatism commit to defeat.
Defeatism is not realism.
We can win. All is not lost. The biggest win we have is over half the country knowing they are being lied to by the establishment media on a regular basis.
The power has not been in the political parties for two generations. It has been in the media.
Of course they will cheat. It’s in them, just like lying is.
“The left has usually had the support of Women. By pushing CRT they have pushed them into Mama bear mode.”
I wish that were true. In general, women from the ghetto to women in suburbia will continue to support RATs. RATs touch the females’ feeelings.
VA was an anomaly. Although it’s a blue state now, its recent roots are red, and I think that history leaked into the Youngkin election. Most women are on board with CRT, mandates, etc., if it means they can shuffle their kids off to government daycare for several hours a day and not be bothered with them.
That is just the thing, the battles are all ahead of us. We cannot, we must not, simply slack off because “the tide is in our favor”.
The turn of the tide only means that battle will be far more effective if we take advantage of the circumstances. The Left is much like the mythical Hydra, it has many heads, and simply lopping off one or two does not greatly impair its capability to continue to do mischief.
Women will STILL VOTE DEMOCRAT.....they LOVE ABORTION MORE THANTHEY LOVE THEIR LIVING CHILDREN!
I am not familiar with that TV series. It’s obviously on a channel that I don’t watch
