Is this the end of Alinksy?

Freepers follow me on this.

Are we watching the passing of Alynski tactics? Is this the Alinsk-ites and their tactics last stand. They tried to destroy Sarah Palin as a Green-Jobs Czar said ( not a quote ) we had to destroy her politically she was a rock star. They did succeed in getting her off the political stage, but she redefined herself, she adapted, innovated, and overcome to fight the battle on different fronts.

They tried the same with President Trump, them Candidate and it continues today, and that was a loss to them a big one, it did not succeed, he is POTUS you don’t get any a bigger position than that.

On Judge Kavanaugh, they are trying it again, but this one is for all the marbles. it is essentially a position for life and they were also using it to gin up their base to have a “D” Congress to have impeachment. If they loose here, where do they go? They are finished, the tactics of Alinsky and gaslighting aren’t working anymore on a common sense Trumpian / American electorate. and I think they know it.

IMHO this is the last stand of the DNC before it politically implode like a structure that is beyond it’s useful life, and it is set it comes down upon itself. Except this time, it wasn’t an outside crew with yellow hats making it happen, they did it to themselves….

I think Alinski tactics work initially but will simply wear themselves out if not followed at a certain point by a full blown armed thug takeover.

Back when everybody got their ‘news’ from dead tree purveyors and NTSC Video purveyors, Alinsky tactics worked.

One of their very useful tactics was fixation of the target.

That cannot happen now since there are myriads and myriads of sources for info.....................

Great point! Well done!

Alinsky's rule #7: "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."

No, communism/totalitarianism is all propaganda, all the time. Names change, names of sub-movements change — but the outright lie of communism will be with us until the end.

DeGaulle wrote the original manual on Tank Warfare and how to use this new technology to exploit a breakthrough.

Guderian and Rommel read it and used it, and refined it

Patton learned from Rommel.

Mao had at least an understanding of how George Washington won.

The Kavanaugh fiasco is only a warmup for when ruth gin passes on during President Trump’s watch.

Are they really contradictory? I think there are elements of both in each other. Anyone not familiar with both is at a serious disadvantage in any conflict.

The left owns US education, US media and half of US population mentality values socialism.

Our republic’s downfall may be delayed, but no doubt it is inevitable:

When I was a kid in the 60’s, we had 2 TV stations and one newspaper.

Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite were the only two people listened to.

Nowadays, you can go on the internet and get whatever you want to believe in regardless of facts or sources.

Today we will see the end of Alinsky results, but not tactics.

They will keep on trying..................................

Also important here is they lost on the USSC Janus decision that started the end of the flow of government union money to the Democrats.

The Dems are in a panic because they know this is their last chance to get power again for a generation.

No way. Alynsky’s ilk represent a portion of the population that is mentally deficient and/or evil, which will always be around us. It is the age-old struggle of good versus evil. It is the same with criminals and crime in our society. It may ebb and flow but because it is endemic to humanity, it is reality. We must never get discouraged and we and our progeny, with the guiding hand of Devine Providence must keep up the good fight for humanity’s sake.

No.

Alinsky is hardwired into the Dem playbook. They will continue to use it. Once they ever get Trump out of the WH, things should return to ‘normal’.

Trump!

A Republican who fights back!

The nerve of him!

He sure has messed things up.

NO! Leftists/Commies NEVER give up or get discouraged. They will just adapt to changes. They always push, push, push. That means we have to always push, too. No quitting.

They are like the worst weeds in a garden. They throw out thousands of seeds and they all come up. They send out amazing roots that spread the plants. Some of them grow all day, all night, summer, winter, floods, drought. I can go out in my yard when it is 10 below and find green things. Some of them take multiple sprays of the best herbicides and they snap back. They aren't going extinct.

We have to continually fight. I read an article about weeds. A woman ask a gardener why he doesn't have any weeds. He pointed out a tiny little weed sprout. He pulled it and told her that that's as big his weeds ever get, every day. Vigilance and good work.

Leftists only quit when they are dead, but their names will live on as democrat voters.

At some point that must change
The arrest of the loser staffer who released info on senators and charging him with felony is a start
For the most part. These hysterics turn people off. Regular people that is

We should use Alinsky on them and hold them to their standards.

Violence and slander are their standards.

The Democrats still control billions of dollars. Look at the Forbes richest Americans list. Find a conservative on there if you can. The Kochs are the closest I can find. They can continue to fight for centuries with the money they control.

You’re absolutely right about these rioters’ catch-and-releases.
Even the lock in the sock college professor got a soft sentence.

They blew it when they turned their back on middle class Americans and took up the rally cry for everything else. Illegals, LGBXYZ, etc.
