No way! They will continue even if they have to Shape Shift to another form in effort to fool the people to vote for them.

These life forms celebrating Alinsky aren’t even ready to leave the party.

It certainly is the end...why?

Because the republicans have learned how to use it.

We have been outstanding in using Mr. Alinsky right back at the dims.

It took a long time and I pray it lasts.

Perhaps after the helicopter rides have subsided.

You’ll know the end has come when the bad actors are rounded up and tossed from helicopters.

It is time for the Republicans to immerse themselves in Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and use his tactics on the rats and other leftists.

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.....................

Wish it were tree but the Democrats are utterly tone deaf and their ideology is their religion. I believe they will pursue and intensify these tactics until there is serious violence in the streets and a bunch of people are dead and another bunch of people are on their way to prison.

“Alinsky” is largely a set of amoral tactics and methods, not connected inherently to one or another political ideology.

There have been totalitarians, authoritarians, and charlatans since the beginning of time and the beginning of humanity and sin, and so there will always be Alinsky tactics for as long a humanity remains sinful and resources are scarce.

Alinsky tactics are a portion of the larger body of political tactics, which in turn are, by definition, all the various means of gaining power and what you want by means other than the merits of the thing of interest.

That’s like asking is this the end to evil, hypocryisy and deception. The answer being ‘No!’.
Like many other forms of energy, Evil can change it’s form very quickly.

As should every conservative who runs for office or who teaches in K-12 or at the college level.

I remember about 15 years ago two Democrat political hacks in California tried to silence two conservative professors.
Their method: contact ever female student each of them had taught and find anything said or suggested that was sexist or worse.

The corollary to Alensky is,
“There’s a sucker born every day.”

So, no we’re not done.

You must be joking. Most of the country did get their info about Palin from the left. They still think she chirped, “I can see Russia from my HOUSE!”

And they successfully palinize everyone they attempt to. Trump? You’re kidding, right? It will take a new generation being born for the people who believe him to be dumb and racist to die out.

Alinsky tactics work because of human nature. People would rather starve to death or be torn limb from limb than to be outcast and shamed. That is why “voodoo death” was so successful in primitive cultures 3000 years ago, and fear of ostracism is one of the most primary motivations in life today.

No, their tactics will have to fail 20 times or more before they stop using them.

Freely distributed information (unless leftist ideas are censored out) will not sink in to stupid people. Many of them will choose the emotional (instead of reason-based) leftist ideas. That's why many "celebrities" are both stupid and leftist. They don't know how to reason.

Alinsky won’t end until states wise up and repeal 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments imo.
