#Resist: How To Spot A Phony Political Movement
IWB ^ | Daniel Carter

Posted on 02/06/2018 9:54:00 AM PST by davikkm

Over the past several years, political movements have been a dime a dozen. After the economy crashed in 2008, we saw the rise of the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. Those two movements eventually petered out, but that made room for the overwhelming torrent of political movements that sprang up both before and after Trump’s election.

On the right, there are anti-immigration movements, pro-life movements and movements based on patriotism and the support of Western values. On the left, there is Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Democratic Socialism, 3rd Wave Feminism, BAMN and a plethora of other lesser known political movements. Many of the leftist political movements have now coalesced into one giant movement known as the “Resistance.”

Sorry, but I've got to stop him right there. On the right, there are anti-illegal immigration movements.

So, if law is passed making any and all immigration legal - just cross the border and you are legal - would you be ok with that? As long as it isn’t illegal, it’s fine.

Ugh. Not at all. But in my prior post I was addressing a more general issue. The Left has been smearing us for years now, saying we are against immigration, period. They want to make us look like we are all racists.

And that’s simply not so. We just want a country that respects the Rule of Law.

If it is liberal, progressive, socialist, communist or generally left winged it probably fake.

And that’s the exact slight-of-hand deception used in order to re-frame the debate by painted their opponents as racists, or whatever. Very deliberately done.

Easier: if it’s a liberal group, it’s fake.

The Tea Party petered out?
Seems like we got most of our objectives.
We’ve have four consecutive House of Representatives landslides; control of the Senate; most of the governors and legislatures; and President Trump.

The whole idea of “the movement” is socialist and humanist in origin.

Personally, all I want is for people to move back to God, to truth, to principle, and to the Constitution, and then to stop moving.
