Might I suggest a more practical means of corraling the bastards, then? Something more along the lines of, say, a very tall fence? Or, better yet, how about a multi-layered approach, beginning with a Big Beautiful Wall? Guard towers with sharpshooters, armed guards walking the perimeter 24-7, natch, all with a weapons-free directive in effect. Next, a moat—well-stocked with hungry alligators, natch. A minefield enclosing that, the whole shebang topped off with a literal Wall Of Fire, perpetually stoked. Call it the Bonfire of Liberty, an eternal flame safeguarding our freedom by physically reducing all verminous-Left threats to so much crackling ash.
America is entering a terrible period in its history at an accelerating pace, now that the Left has taken control of all the critical reins of power in the government, the mainstream media, social media, and big tech. Unfortunately, history teaches with laser clarity that there are no guardrails restraining the behavior of the Left when it is so empowered.
Normative legacy Judeo-Christian values usually provide self correction against outrageous excesses from the Right. Even when conservatives have the power, they restrain themselves from, for example, committing full-on genocide. An example of this is seen in the late 19th Century, when it was completely within the power of the American government to implement a “final solution to the Red Indian problem,” but the government and the American people, then grounded in Judeo-Christian values, did not do so. (This is not to excuse the execrable and destructive Indian reservation system, but it was not genocide.) Likewise, America could have utterly destroyed Germany and Japan after 1945, but we did not do so. The harshly punitive Morgenthau Plan proposed by FDR’s socialist Secretary of the Treasury for post-war Germany came close in its intention, but it was not implemented.
By comparison, the secular atheist (and now frankly insane) American Left has no self-correction mechanism. (Examples of contemporary Leftist insanity: transsexuals welcomed into the military, biological boys ordered onto girls sports teams and in girls locker rooms, etc.) This Leftist insanity is anything but unprecedented. From the French Revolution, to the Paris Commune, the Bolshevik Revolution and through all the horrors of 20th Century Communism, the Left has proven that when it is unchecked, it will drive at full speed straight off the cliff of civilized norms of behavior into totalitarian systems of guillotines, Gulags, forced starvations, and killing fields.
This is an old, played-out movie we’ve seen far too many times. We already know how it ends.
They have ALREADY corraled themselves in their shithole hives. And not even ONE of those shitholes can sustain themselves. They leech everything off flyover country – their power, their water, their food, their fuel. Drop the very high voltage power lines going in and see what happens! How many flights of stairs do you think a hive dweller is willing to climb in a day? And how much hive “real estate” is above that level? And never forget that they are full of “urban youfs” who do their thing with impunity! Nobody would be alive in such a hive after about one week…
“Nobody would be alive in such a hive after about one week…”
Probably last a bit longer than a week, but for those of us that live near such enclaves, be ready, as they will head out.
Not if you make sure there is no “Escape from New York!!!”
Corollary to “There are no guardrails on the Left”:
The Rule of Law is broken and no longer applies.
One of the side effects of the electoral theft of November 4, 2020 and January 5, 2021 has been observable empirical and undeniable* evidence that “We’re not voting our way out of this” and “There’s no political solution to the disasters of politics”. Period. None. They’re no longer nifty sounding catch phrases and acronyms. They’re the brutal reality of our situation.
The other side effect, and a major one, has been the visible and undeniable confirmation that the Courts are no recourse. None whatsoever. The Ballot Box is not a viable option for us.
That vast echoing sullen silence you hear out there?
That’s the sound of 74 million voters slowly and uncomfortably coming to grips with this reality after having had it rubbed in to their faces along with a heaping helping of media propaganda dogshit.
Not that the Left is exactly swift on the uptake when it comes to grokking the consequences of their imposed brilliance, but even if they were, they’re far too busy breaking their own arms patting themselves on the back in a congratulatory orgasm over their own cleverness in finally ridding us of Orange Man Bad. More by crook than by hook, but there ya go.
You gotta break a few omelettes to make some eggs, man.
It hasn’t yet sunk in to them that demonstrating and proving to 74 million armed enemies that the Rule of Law is no longer on the table just might not be a grand idea.
Forgivable, really: the full ramifications of that fact haven’t yet sunk in to and been processed by the 74 million armed and now thoroughly pissed off Americans, either.
When it does sink in finally, however long that takes, all bets are off.
‘Cause we don’t have any guard rails either.
There is no law. There is only Zuul.
* Well, undeniable except by the crowd of “We’ll just vote HARDER next time!” idiots out there.
Despair not. The stupid thou shalt always have with thee. Shake them from your boots and leave them to their fate.
I hope that is true. I still find too many of those 74 Million (and its actually more, what with flipped votes and fractional counting) still can’t grok that it was Stolen (Nov 4), then it is Stolen (Jan 6) and will be Stolen (evermore, as long as it matters).
If that ever sinks in it will be ugly. Because when the morons who wept over Crooked losing in 2016 understood that she truly lost there was nothing but despair on their part, but the hardcore Deep State are a vast minority and they arranged this new travesty of the Stolen Election.
When the vast majority of US realize we wuz robbed, and we WILL be robbed, it won’t be despair felt or tears shed. It will be White Hot anger of the Saxon (even for us non-Saxons) that will be felt and blood that will be shed.
I think we’re in svaha now: that hushed moment between seeing the lightning, and hearing the thunder.
I think that what you’re saying would be true *if* they had enough sense to ease up and go slow, and then everyone would adjust and get used to the “new normal” – for lack of a better term – and then they could go ahead and slow roll their agenda without too much resistance except from us “bitter clinger” types.
But as we’re seeing, they can’t do that. They seem to be congenitally incapable of doing that. Instead they’re rushing forward and cramming ALL of the lunacy down everyone’s throats at once like there’s no tomorrow and they have to get it all imposed yesterday, if not sooner.
No respite, no moment to adjust, no time for everyone to catch their breath and get used to things. Just wham! wham! wham! in your face and down your throat.
And as you say: once everyone realizes that it’s not gonna stop and there’s no voting it out… it’ll be ice cold killing rage and things will burn. They just thought that anti-fa and BLM were burning things.
They’re amateurs.
Agree that going slow and being incremental with their agenda would be the smart play, IB. But for many on the left, particuarly those in positions of power, the entire point of having power is to lord it over the “little people” and rub it in their faces. So they just can’t do things slowly.
Also, a large fraction of these people are mentally ill. Some mildly, some more seriously, but damn few of them are what I would call healthy, balanced individuals.
They’re nug bucking futz and Sociopaths for the most part.
Just look at Jen Psaki doing a “press” conference. She can’t even handle the softballs they are throwing.
I half expect her to grow horns, turn bright red, blow up twice her size and breathe fire until the “impertinent questions” stop, since they’re all burnt to a crisp.
She’ll circle around to it.
They’re all dopes, just fucking complete dopes on top of being evil.
That’s the worst kind. Too stupid to know they’re stupid, they think they are the smartest out there and evil enough to take Power by any means necessary.
We are only 9 days in and I want to feed them into a wood chipper feet first. Bonus points if I can drag their sorry asses out to Fargo in the winter and make them watch with just tar and feathers to keep them warm while they wait their turns.
No way we make four years of this without the shooting starting.
*solemn nod* As foretold in the Prophecy.
