What Will It Take To Make You Understand And Accept That They Hate You?
2019-01-28
[Townhall] You need to die because of your smile.

That’s the position of our enemies, and we know it because they told us ‐ openly, proudly, in the garbage public forum that is Twitter and elsewhere. Oh, they backtracked a little when the extent of their killing fantasies got exposed, scampering like their insect analogy, the roach, when someone flips on the kitchen light. But that kid in DC with the Frigidaireborne reefer ranger banging that drum in his baffled mug? They wanted that kid to die for having a Wrong Smile.

Cue the excuse chorus: "That’s nonsense! We just wanted to pummel that kid and then destroy him, his family and and all his classmates! Don’t look behind the curtain at the woodchipper comments and bomb threats, you cisnormative monsters!"

Think of what they would do with real power...

Accept that that kid was you, and me. If they’ll ice a kid for not having the right grin, they’ll waste you or me in a heartbeat. Murder is, after all, how leftists roll. The USSR, Red China, Cambodia, North Korea, Cuba ‐ that cadaver-strewn litany teaches what’s lurking at the bottom of the slope we’re sliding down. The Dems are spooning with socialism, and the goal of socialism is written in blood on the pages of history. The unapproved must be liquidated, and they are making no secret that you are unapproved.

#5  ...well, when you finally land a job after a long layoff, it becomes more important to be there then the otherwise unemployed SJW ward healers in farming votes.

If you really want to keep that job, take a day of leave if necessary in 2020 to vote.

#4  #3 But that raises the question of why more people didn't grasp the stakes and get out to vote.

#3  "as shown by the election of 2018" Midterm turnout is always lower than the big show.

#2  The one bad thing about the economic recovery is that people have more to lose and more to absorb their energies and attention.

And this is even more likely to happen among the "normies" than others.

One reason why Trump won was that more and more "normies" were starting to wake up to what was happening to the country.

Unfortunately, a lot of them went back to sleep in the last couple of years, as shown by the election of 2018.

I don't think that even Trump fully grasps this point; hence, his boosterish tweets and harping on the falling black/Hispanic unemployment rates (which availed the GOP nothing in the election).

Like it or not, non-whites vote on the basis of identity rather than pocketbook issues, and if they register an improving economy at all, they give credit to Obama -- or magic.

Trump has done what he can by his understanding and experience of things, but I think he's hit the ceiling of what can be gained by economic cheerleading and Magic Dirt "Civic Nationalism".

At some point, he'll have to pivot, or be relegated to the status of well-meaning failure.

He could start by emphasizing what is noted in this Townhall article, and consistently hammer on the abuses his supporters are suffering -- and not just his celebrity pals or family members.

I know some people will say "No no, he should lie in the weeds and let the left expose and destroy itself."

Well, the left has been exposing itself for awhile now.

How did laying low in the face of all that work out last year?

#1  It wasn't the smile that triggered the Left. It was the MAGA hat. The hat was an inexcusable sin.
