The previous administration and the democrats in congress NEVER MAKE DEALS. NEVER.
They understand that the RNC wants to get along with them, not to defeat them, and that a a consequence they will compromise rather than stand their ground every time.
Incrementalism is how Democrats operate: compromise with progressivism / socialism / commutardism is still progressivism / socialism / commutardism.
This is why, for example, the cultural Marxist have always draped its actions in the mantle of coming to the aid of favored groups rather than coming for people. They act like they are only interested in fairness for poofters or trans or what have you but their real agenda is to use these to undermine the civilization and culture, to weaken it so at some point there can be a power grab. Their indoctrinated minions are so eager to do this they labor on behalf of Islam too since the Muslim Brotherhood was clever enough to come up with the word “Islamophobia”.
Likewise with BLM it is no longer about civil rights but about getting their pound of flesh however they may.
Earlier another forumite posted a link to something by Kipling, about never giving the Dane his Dane-Geld, it goes...
Dane-Geld (by Kipling)
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: —
“We invaded you last night—we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ‘em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: —
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —
“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”
THIS should apply to everything cultural Marxist say they want. No matter how trivial it may seem refuse them. And also withdraw and “Dane-Geld” you may have been convinced to offer in the past.
It is better for them to say you are a bad person and try to shame you than to go along with them on anything. Better. Their condemnation than the loss of the society and nation.
