BRACKEN: COVINGTON GIVES A GLIMPSE OF CIVIL WAR TWO


Posted by AP Staff (https://www.americanpartisan.org/author/ap-staff/) | Jan 28, 2019 | Matt Bracken (https://www.americanpartisan.org/category/columnists/matt-bracken/)


During the attempted electronic lynching of the Covington Catholic high school boys on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the mask hiding the Left?s genocidal rage slipped and was momentarily visible. The reality of the confrontation was inverted 180 degrees by the duplicitous mainstream media so that a smiling white teenager was made to face the wrath of an Orwellian two-minute hate that stretched on for days, even after the factual record was corrected. Accelerated by social media, the virtual lynch mob called for, among other horrors, MAGA-hat-wearing teenage boys to be fed headfirst into wood chippers, or for them to be locked en-masse into their school and the school to be burned to the ground.

This hurricane of socially sanctioned racial fury did not arise spontaneously, but was the result of deliberate cultivation over the past few decades by the political Left, academia, the mainstream media, and the Hollywood entertainment elite. Entire books could be written laying out the many already familiar examples of the Left encouraging racial animosity against whites, but that is not my goal in writing this piece.

I am instead observing that before every notorious genocide, the same pattern of marginalizing and demonizing a designated scapegoat population has occurred. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the national mainstream media signaled that it was now acceptable to vent seething racial hatred against white males, even teenage boys. This was further telegraphed when notable verified Twitter blue-check accounts were not suspended after doxing the boys and posting explicit calls for violence against them. (By way of contrast, I was permanently banned from Twitter for posting an anti-burka meme (https://freezoxeebook.s3.amazonaws.com/upload/photos/2019/01/zKOM5j8UJWqpg6EVOH7y_26_6df10d2aa52a49d3aed884eb82 d460a5_image.jpg) that did not even name a religion.)

The Covington confrontation points to an ironclad historical pattern. Every previous genocide in modern times was preceded by a similar pattern of public demonization of state-designated scapegoats. But is correlation causation? Does the American Left intend to eventually commit genocide against white heritage American males? In my opinion, yes. Scapegoating is part of a clear pattern of conduct seen during every socialist power grab from the French Revolution until now. In the case of German national socialists, European Jews were the scapegoats of the Nazis during their climb to power. In the case of international socialists, AKA Communists, class enemies were usually but not always the designated scapegoats. Examples of class enemies would include the Kulaks in the Soviet Union, ?landlords? in China, and ?intellectuals? in Cambodia. But in other cases ethnic groups were targeted as scapegoats by Communists, to include the Ukrainians, Crimeans, Latvians and others.

So, are today?s Democrats already planning to load their white heritage American enemies into boxcars for trips to a new Gulag? Probably not many at this time, but Barack Obama?s political mentor Bill Ayers certainly considered it. Ayers believed that so many Americans would bitterly resist Communism that 25 million would have to be ?eliminated (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2pMkkXIDrM).?

Today in the United States, a possible future genocide remains far down the track and around the curve, well out of sight, and beyond the power of most Americans to even imagine. But the historical record is clear. Broad social approval of class- or racially-based scapegoating is a necessary precursor stage to eventual genocide, and a combination of both variants was clearly seen in the Covington case.

Will planned genocide ever be the overtly stated policy of the socialist-leaning Democrat (DemSoc) party? Probably not. Even Adolf Hitler never put ?The Final Solution to the Jewish Question? into a formal written order, but the Holocaust happened nonetheless. Vladimir Lenin was less cautious, recording his orders for state terror and mass murder in his own handwriting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenin%27s_Hanging_Order).

But today?s American Democrats are still far from that final stage of dealing with their enemies. For now, the demonization of their future scapegoats is only one indicator of the current phase of the Gramscian ?long march through the institutions? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Gramsci) stealth communization process that is now underway.

So what is the overall process currently in play, and where are we on the timeline? I am going to assume that readers of this essay are already familiar with the Dunning-Kruger Effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning-Kruger_effect) and the Cloward-Piven Strategy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloward-Piven_strategy). Summarized, the current Democrat strategy for political victory is to maximize the number of government-dependent morons, in order to overwhelm our national ability to pay for all of the government?s mandated social programs, to thereby collapse the system and bring about a revolutionary political climate. This is taken straight out of the Bolshevik and Alinsky handbooks. Vladimir Lenin supposedly put it this way: ?The worse, the better.?

As the government fails to keep up with its social welfare promises, the Democrats will blame their pre-designated scapegoats for every one of their own failures. In the United States, Public Enemy Number One will be older white Christian conservative heterosexual men who will be called obstructionists and saboteurs. Being morons, the Dunning-Kruger Democrats will fall for the party line, and also blame white heritage American scapegoats for the failure of their own party?s utopian promises.

Why will the Democrats push for social welfare programs that are impossible to achieve, that in fact have failed in every other case ever attempted? Because they only care about attaining permanent power for themselves, and this process is a proven method for reaching that goal. The Democrat elites are content to rule the ruins of a failed nation, in perpetuity. And to do so, they will need a convenient scapegoat population to blame for their own failed policies, and that is why they are encouraging identity (racial) politics, as starkly seen in the Covington confrontation. They are preparing their time-tested psychological weapons of mass destruction for the next phases in the ongoing stealth communization process. You may observe the history of Venezuela over the past twenty years to see the entire process carried out from start to finish.

The unexpected election of President Donald Trump indicated to Democrat party leaders that there were still too many white heritage Americans as a percentage of the electorate for them to cement their identity-politics socialist triumph in perpetuity. There are not yet enough moronic Dunning-Kruger Democrats to push the DemSocs over the top in national elections forever.

THE CALIZUELA MODEL

Despite Trump?s 2016 victory, a glowing example of the solution to their national electoral shortfall is clearly visible to Democrat leaders. In my lifetime California was the wealthiest and most successful state in the union. It produced Republican governors and even sent Ronald Reagan to the White House. But due to open borders and unchecked immigration, California is halfway to becoming Venezuela, or as I shall term it, Calizuela. The former Golden State has gone from national leader to national embarrassment, with squalid tent cities for its burgeoning homeless population, complete with needle- and feces-strewn sidewalks.

Amazingly, this observable failure is counted as a great political victory by the Democrat party. Calizuela is proof that flooding a state with government-dependent foreign idiots and rewarding them with driver?s licenses and voter cards can turn a formerly conservative Republican state into a one-party Democrat stronghold in a single generation. The proven Calizuela formula is blazingly clear to the Democrat Party bosses in the other 49 states: import as many poor and illiterate foreign immigrants as possible, because over 80 percent of them will sooner or later become reliable Democrat voters. (And this is the reason that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats refuse to pay more than one dollar for an actual, physical border wall or barrier.)

Now I will distinguish between two general types of immigrants. The first type I?ll term Value-Added Melting-Pot immigrants. VAMPs usually form stable two-parent families and want their kids to grow up to be red-blooded Americans, happily assimilating into our culture, while quickly learning English and adopting American customs and manners of dress. Typically they are college-educated professionals when they legally immigrate to America. They may even vote Republican, and often have conservative values and political views.

On the other hand, we now also have millions of Feral Aggressive Clannish Low-Intelligence immigrants, or FACLIs in shorthand. They may or may not be illegal aliens, but the Democrat party does not care as long as they will eventually vote Democrat. The worst of the FACLIs belong to an unholy supremacist rape and murder cult that is attempting to force its totalitarian social-political system upon the entire world, at sword point if necessary. The Democrats are not bothered by the inclusion of these dangerous fanatics among their FACLI immigrants as long as they reliably vote Democrat.

Unfortunately, ever since the passage of Senator Ted Kennedy?s infamous 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, the FACLIs have vastly outnumbered the VAMPS arriving in America. Instead of assimilating and blending into the American social landscape like the VAMPs, the FACLIs cluster in self-imposed ghettos, marking their territories with vandalism and graffiti, driving out their previous inhabitants, and turning these conquered areas into smaller versions of the third-world shitholes they fled in the first place.

Yet the Democrats actually prefer FACLI immigrants to VAMPs, despite their tendency toward illiteracy, criminality, and many other social pathologies. This is because they can be depended upon to vote Democrat, adding their numbers to the native-born Dunning-Kruger Democrats who are too ignorant to realize that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Additionally, high crime rates and inter-ethnic friction give the state a reason to use harsh police state tactics to maintain control. Writer Sam Francis described this dynamic as ?anarcho-tyranny.? (http://www.unz.com/sfrancis/anarcho-tyranny-where-multiculturalism-leads/)

It hardly needs to be mentioned that for a nation?s ruling elite to knowingly import a feral, aggressive, clannish, low-IQ population in order to replace their independent-minded, freedom-loving and self-sufficient population in return for cheap votes is an act of treason against their own people. But in both America and Europe, we can see that the Kalergi Plan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_von_Coudenhove-Kalergi) for population replacement is working all too well. A half-century after Senator Kennedy?s notorious immigration act, America needs a fifty-year immigration moratorium to save it from utter destruction, but there is little chance of this ever happening in the prevailing political environment.

THE CALIZUELIFICATION PROCESS

Once the Democrat Party reaches a ruling margin based on their importation of sufficient numbers of FACLIs to guarantee future electoral success, they weaponize the political and legal structures to ensure that they can never be defeated again. Ideologically corrupted law enforcement and tax agencies are turned against their political rivals. The Calizuela DemSocs use outrageous electoral district gerrymandering, conduct door-to-door ?vote harvesting? by party hacks, and prepare boxes of pre-filled election ballots to ensure their victories. They even hand voter registration cards to illegal aliens at the DMV along with their official Calizuela driver?s licenses, with no questions asked and no voter fraud investigations ever conducted.

The amazing political success of the Democrat Party in Calizuela is now being copied in every other state. Once Florida or Texas flips to solid Democrat, the DemSocs will permanently control the national political process in the United States. But history shows that they will not then rest on their laurels and relax their guard. Their Marxist fiscal mismanagement will leave the economy in a shambles, but rather than accept the responsibility, they will instead set to blaming their pre-designated scapegoats. These shall be the aforementioned white Christian conservative men, the ultimate irredeemable deplorables, who will then be targeted for state-sanctioned hate and worse.

In the DemSoc mission to scapegoat white heritage Americans, it will actually be an advantage to them that their base, (the Dunning-Kruger Democrats plus ever-increasing numbers of FACLIs), are, by and large, morons. Due to their low average intelligence, they will not be susceptible to persuasion by reason or logic. Instead, they will carry the strength of invincible ignorance as their shield. The most erudite and sublime arguments of Locke and Jefferson will not hold a candle against machete-wielding MS-13 gang members high on meth. And there will be millions of them and others eager to turn their violent fury against the state-designated conservative white male scapegoats who will be portrayed in the media as purposefully sabotaging their awaited socialist utopia. Thus the DemSocs shall unify their base and wipe out any potential future rivals in one brilliantly calculated but incalculably evil maneuver.

Kill Whitey (https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=iuBNXNm0NoLKsQX8x5PgAg&q=%E2%80%9DKill+Whitey%E2%80%9D&btnK=Google+Search&oq=%E2%80%9DKill+Whitey%E2%80%9D&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l10.2361.6216..8930...1.0..0.280.1832.1j12j 1......0....1..gws-wiz.....6..35i39j0i131j0i10.0oVkaJ9rCKM) will be on their lips, their fury fanned to white heat by the collaborating mainstream media. What these morons lack in wisdom they will make up in aggression, low impulse control and sheer numbers. History teaches that racial fury can easily be whipped to such a fever pitch that a majority population can be induced to go house-to-house with machetes, massacring their former neighbors. This happened in Rwanda in modern times, and in Haiti in 1804, when all of the remaining whites were slaughtered, down to the last infant. Surely one of the most evil things any government can do is to set the stage for genocide by designating a group for state-approved scapegoating.

The Heritage American Right?s Reaction

But the Democrat party?s Dunning-Kruger plus Cloward-Piven strategy to turn every state into another Calizuela with uncontrolled FACLI immigration has at least one major obstacle in its path: conservatives have made a close study of Leftist revolutionary strategies from Robespierre and Lenin to Alinsky and Obama. The Right?s deep understanding of this process is the reason why so many millions of firearms and billions of rounds of ammunition have been purchased in recent years. Millions of precision rifles dispersed in the hands of scores of millions of heritage Americans will be a game-changer, delaying or blocking the usual pattern of Leftist revolutionary genocide. At some as-yet unknown breaking point, the Left?s unstoppable DemSoc political wave will collide with the immovable object of armed Right-wing resistance.

Nobody can say when or where the precise Fort Sumter moment will occur, but when it comes, a bloody civil war will follow. However, unlike the 1861-65 festivities, there will be no convenient regional divide between the warring camps. Instead, the red-blue county-level election maps (https://superdupergames.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/us-election-map-county-best-electoral-map-the-united-states-best-us-presidential-election-of-us-election-map-county.png) will be a more useful blueprint for the coming mayhem, and even then, counties will often be too broad of a measure. I would suggest readers might review my earlier essay The CW2 Cube: Mapping the Meta-Terrain of Civil War Two (http://westernrifleshooters.blogspot.com/2010/07/bracken-cw2-cube-mapping-meta-terrain.html), as well as When the Music Stops, How America?s Cities May Explode in Violence (https://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/2012/09/03/bracken-when-the-music-stops-how-americas-cities-may-explode-in-violence/), for an in-depth look at how a dirty civil war may unfold and manifest itself.

In short, Civil War Two will quickly become an urban versus rural conflict divided along demographic and cultural lines. This type of dirty civil war will be fought at the zip code and neighborhood level. Front lines will be vague and constantly shifting, with three or more local factions often competing for supremacy. It will be a civil war of secret arrests, disappearances, IEDs and targeted assassinations that will have many of the worst attributes of Argentina and Northern Ireland in the 1970s, or even Rwanda and former Yugoslavia in the 1990s.

And once this vicious civil war is in full swing, the odds are high that the power grid itself will become the target of ten thousand attacks. In such a fluid crazy-quilt battlespace as an all-out dirty civil war, shared infrastructure lines will run through both friendly and enemy territory. Every faction will have a veto on their downstream enemy?s power grid and water supply. Food supplies that today are trucked from hundreds or thousands of miles away will disappear in this dangerous environment. Brainwashed Dunning-Kruger Democrats and their FACLI reinforcements might not enjoy living around evil and oppressive white devils very much today, but they are going to enjoy life without electricity, food, and clean drinking water even less. They will discover that it?s much easier to turn Minneapolis into Mogadishu than the reverse.

What will happen inside the blue hives that are presently organized as DemSoc vote-harvesting plantations, when the EBT system collapses? When no electricity, food or water is flowing in to sustain their populations? This dystopian dynamic is likely to occur in some cities or regions earlier than in others, and this will lead to the imposition of extremely harsh measures, including martial law and food rationing in other parts of the country. Alternatively, where government control is weak, local vigilantism will become rampant.

But history is clear: no matter how draconian the emergency decrees, new laws will not by themselves restore the power grid, or purify and pump the water, or get the food supply chain moving again. That will require the end of the civil war and a return to civility and the normal rule of law. Civil War Two will be brutal in every corner of America, but it will be absolutely catastrophic for the inhabitants of the blue hives when their sustenance is cut off. The Dunning-Kruger Democrats and the FACLI immigrants will not be able to eat socialist slogans or drink officially-sanctioned racial hatred.

The mainstream Right is finally beginning to understand the Calizuelification process that is now underway across America, and that the process is designed to have no readily apparent stopping point, braking mechanism or antidote. During every stage, the process of imposing tyranny by stealth is cloaked with a veneer of bogus legality. But thanks to the vision and wisdom of our founding fathers, our liberty has two clear and unbreakable lines of defense: the First and Second Amendments.

Regarding freedom of speech, an important part of the Calizuelification process is the systematic deplatforming, throttling, shadow-banning and outright perma-banning of conservative voices on social media. (The mainstream news media and Hollywood have already been a willing part of the process for decades.) But even on a sharply tilted field, for the time being conservatives are still allowed to say what they want. America is not yet at the point that Europe has reached, where dissidents are arrested for complaining on the internet about the dire social consequences of unchecked mass FACLI immigration. Today American conservatives can speak their minds, even as the Leftists who control social media attempt to algorithmically turn their volume and impact levels down to zero. The Right will grumble, but they will accept increasing levels of censorship?until they don?t. That point is still unknown.

The other and greater protector of our liberty is the Second Amendment, guaranteeing our God-given right to keep and bear arms. Any politicians or law enforcement officials who move to deny our right to possess classes of weapons that have been readily available for over a century will be declaring themselves to be domestic enemies of the Constitution. The Right has exhaustively studied the long history of Leftist revolution and genocide, and knows very well that every genocide is preceded not only by the scapegoating of official state enemies, but also by the strict curtailment of their right to keep and bear arms in the dubious name of ?public safety.?

This makes the Second Amendment a very bright and clear line, the crossing of which will surely mark the beginning of a new civil war. Make no mistake: no matter what excuses may be offered, when the government comes for the guns, they have declared war on the America people. Once widespread gun confiscation begins, politicians, law enforcement officials, and even news and entertainment personalities supporting the disarmament of Americans will be seen and targeted as legitimate domestic enemies. Readers may wish to peruse my earlier essay, Dear Mr. Security Agent (https://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/bracken-dear-mr-security-agent/), which is an open letter to members of law enforcement, or my short story What I Saw at the Coup (https://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/2012/09/11/what-i-saw-at-the-coup/).

And the DemSoc Left will indeed make the try, because without disarming the Right, their long-term stealth communization of America will fail. Then, instead of chalking up another Communist victory using their old Bolshevik, Gramscian and Alinskyite handbooks, the Left will face a withering firestorm of right-wing counterattacks. Action will beget reaction until a dirty civil war erupts in full fury, but how will this conflict eventually be resolved?

Consider that one side consists largely of millions of government-dependent Dunning-Kruger and FACLI Democrats who are incapable of feeding themselves even in normal times. Will they become more capable when their blue hives are cut off from electricity, food and water? And consider that their leaders are not much more intelligent than the hive-dwelling drones who elect them. During a Leftist revolution, all that is required for a telegenic leader to rise to power is the ability to shout utopian slogans and gather a following of like-minded idiots: witness the spectacular rise of the Communist nitwit Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The other side in the dirty civil war will largely be composed of self-sufficient and liberty-oriented students of history, springing from a long and storied line that produced the most successful modernizers and civilizers the world has ever seen?as well as its most effective warriors and generals. Many of them have served in America?s recent overseas wars, often in special operations units.

The beginning of Civil War Two will definitively mark the end of the era of political correctness, and the artificial sense of superiority that PC brought to the Left by diminishing the audible voice of conservativism. Kipling?s Gods of the Copybook Heading (http://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poems_copybook.htm) will once again reassert their eternal rules over mankind. In the end, cold reality and natural law will prevail over Leftist social deconstruction and utopian fantasy. When it comes to High Noon on Main Street, when the fight boils down to scoped precision rifles against machetes at one hundred yards, I would not bet on the machete-wielders to prevail. No matter how angry or numerous they are today.

I believe this is called the Red Flag Law[s] some are in such a hurry to sign in to law.

I'm not a fan of bracken, however i for the most part agree. Have been saying so for some time, something similar in nature.

Here's more that validates some of his writing.













http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/billstatus.asp

Regarding amending the FOID



Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that the Department of State Police shall conduct a search of the purchasers' social media accounts available to the public to determine if there is any information that would disqualify the person from obtaining or require revocation of a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card. Provides that each applicant for a Firearm Owner's Identification Card shall furnish to the Department of State Police a list of every social media account.

There is really nothing to discuss or debate with you. You've already established your point and made it clear.

I think Bracken is a prophet personally, I just don't think he nails every detail. This piece is good but it runs counter some of his other analysis/thoughts. It makes a few assumptions I don't think are accurate. But I'm reading too much into the last couple of paragraphs.

But it should be enough to make folks think.

I suspect that every person feels like they have no control over the situation and is just bracing for impact. It's important to continue to engage with those whom you disagree with. Some people decide that it's all too much and they'll just disengage and sit at home and load up mags until they can start making their point of view known with a rifle. That's not the kind of coward I want to be, so I'll go ahead and call bullshit on things when I see it.

The reason this piece seems interesting is because it's written by an author. It's a work of fiction with a controlled narrative and a happy ending presented as a study or something otherwise factual.

I think it's more complicated than that.

I think the Bracken piece is thought provoking in that it exposes a plan to replace the American people. And that replacement plan is only delineated by usefulness to the TheParty. It won't spare people based on race, gender, religious belief, or sexual orientation. We've all witnessed the real world examples of the protected class member who dared to speak against TheParty, or even just asked good questions about the trajectory of Liberalism (there is no place for moderates).

Example in today's news: Howard Shultz. But that's a side track.

Now add in gun control and you have a good view of the coming nastiness. Monopoly on violence + desire to eliminate "bad, irredeemable" people = ???

But we only wanted social and economic justice, gay marriage, and safe abortions for non-binary women.

Yeah, that's never what they wanted.

I would say that the way most people won't jump into a civil war because they are too comfortable, most politicians aren't actively trying to sell the citizenry into socialist slavery. There will ALWAYS be bad people in politics trying to push insane ideas. Always and forever. Most times the rest of the people aren't interested.

I agree with you on that point. Most people won't be in a civil war but that won't preserve their comfort or lives.

Most people don't decide the outcome of civil wars/revolutions either. They are decided by a very small percent of the population and that includes the political class being a minority. This is why the Left wants to maintain the perception of plurality and quickly culls its own who don't uphold consensus.

Politicians end up being useful idiots themselves. The GOP has been trying to make Liberalism sustainable my entire life and have failed to be a true opposition party. If they self-marginalize, they become a non-solution. Same with the courts. If the courts decide policy instead of black-letter-law they fail as a check against bad idea. If the policy is "good" the courts will affirm.

The consolidation of power (political, economic, and physical) in government becomes a force multiplier for politicians with bad ideas. This is precisely why the Constitution was written as a negative charter of liberty against gov. Our lives radically change based on who wins elections and this was never the idea nor it can it moral/ethical.

There is really nothing to discuss or debate with you. You've already established your point and made it clear. I don't care what you think nor do I care what your followers think or would like to believe. His opinion carries far more credibility than yours does and likely ever will from my perspective. It's that simple.

Wait... Irving has followers?!?

ETA: I guess I do like his fresh eggs a lot.

I suspect that every person feels like they have no control over the situation and is just bracing for impact. It's important to continue to engage with those whom you disagree with. Some people decide that it's all too much and they'll just disengage and sit at home and load up mags until they can start making their point of view known with a rifle. That's not the kind of coward I want to be, so I'll go ahead and call bullshit on things when I see it.

The reason this piece seems interesting is because it's written by an author. It's a work of fiction with a controlled narrative and a happy ending presented as a study or something otherwise factual.

And I resent the stereotype that you think we're all just loading up mags waiting... but I'm also realistic that alone I lack the power to change what has a lot of money and power behind it (politics)... I'm not waiting for it to happen, but I also have no delusions of grandeur that I can stop it as an ordinary citizen.


I would say that the way most people won't jump into a civil war because they are too comfortable, most politicians aren't actively trying to sell the citizenry into socialist slavery. There will ALWAYS be bad people in politics trying to push insane ideas. Always and forever. Most times the rest of the people aren't interested.

I don't think you read very far before you made up your mind.... or at least you didn't keep an open mind. There are cases where there are riots on the streets, and if it gets bad enough in Urban areas, then there could be those that plan to "bug out" trying to escape the mass violence. If enough people decide to do that that don't have plans and arrangements made, some criminal types could decide that home invasions in rural areas are a solution. IF there is enough breakdown of law enforcement, you could be on your own in defending your rural homestead. With enough of this being a problem, neighborhoods could band together to defend whole areas of countryside.... now we're not THAT far off from what he's talking about. Throw in some Gov't agency deciding that disarming everyone in the country (ala post Katrina) is a good idea, and you're there.

That's a LOT of IFs, but I also don't dismiss based on "it won't happen here"... it has happened in other places of the world. But it's also not like I'm in my storm shelter stacking ammo all day long.

Not to hard to understand the ?leftists? end game. Open borders: more voters and ?takers.? Restrict guns and dilute 2A: to curtail ?resistance.? Bankrupt country: call for drastic measures to fix(the problem they made). Control every aspect of your life: slavery to the authoritarians (political, Wall Street and Hollywood elites). They supposedly know what would be best for all of us: that is neither freedom or liberty.

I think it's more complicated than that.

Example in today's news: Howard Shultz. But that's a side track.


But we only wanted social and economic justice, gay marriage, and safe abortions for non-binary women.

Yeah, that's never what they wanted.

Good post on 2 points. The later being. At 1 time the push was fpro Equal, Not Special Rights. One can see how that Equal morphed (with careful planning & funding) Special Rights.

See the highlight i did on Skips reply.

While OT it's a great example of leftist ideology ..
Howard is seriously giving a run for office. Yet the left has viciously attached him.
To the point Starbucks has issues "Talking Points" to all employees IF and When Confronted by those who take umbrage and or OUTRAGED he's about to splinter the D votes.


That's the leftist line of thought. Agree with Me or be attacked until you surrender.

Well i say
NIMBY

Good. I hope Howard splinters the D voting block. The rhetoric coming out of the left nowadays, hence Kampala Harris should send a very clear message; their governance would be problematic and if this sort of rhetoric every came to pass. It would be a step back for the country and all working men and women. Wages are actually increasing after years of stagnation. Moreover, capital and labor would flee and seek a better return on investment. The ones who cannot flee would suffer.

As the OP article suggested, the low information voter will not be able to discern or comprehend the long-term effects, much less the unintended consequences of these lofty promises of utopia.
