When Activists Become Power-Drunk Politicians
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/06/19 | Judi McLeod

The radicals are still nothing but a screeching fringe, a boil on the rump of society

Expect no let up from the pain caused by the ‘We Didn’t Come To Play, We Came to Destroy the USA’, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-led radicals trying to run Congress into the ditch.

Almost overnight government is no longer government only unadulterated activism, congress is no longer a place for legislation or debate but only activist-engendered catfights where scratching and hissy fits are the order of the day.

That’s what you get when activists become power-drunk politicians.

If 60 is the new 40, then 35 must be the new 15.

I wrote this elsewhere, but I believe it applies here as well.

Trump turned the political world upside down with his outsider, straight talk and no-nonsense approach to the enemies of freedom. However, his weapon of choice wasn't vulgarity but ridicule. And it was effective, Deplorables AND lovers of freedom who were previously were on the bubble, were attracted to this honesty...and comedy.

As usual, the statists have misinterpreted Trump. They believe what their core AND people on the bubble want is in-your-face shrill vulgarity. It started with Antifa and ran through last summer with public accosting of Admin individuals in restaurants etc.

Now, to be sure, their rabid core of haters eat up this vective. But this caustic approach won't sway centrists for two reasons:

1. Trump's approach worked because he is an outsider. The Dems are insiders; even the noobs come off as career politicians. Dems criticizing Trump is like the popular kids making fun of the class clown while they unknowingly have a "Kick Me" sign taped to their backs.

2. Centrists enjoy someone poking fun at the popular kids, but I don't think they like foul language or vulgarity. Centrists like Caddyshack and Animal House and Fletch and Airplane...they don't like Kathy Griffin or Chelsea Handler.

So I say let them shoot their mouths off. I never saw a class clown lose to the popular kids.

Apparently, this is what “soccer moms” want because they came out and voted Democrat.

We need DJT more than ever. Democrats live in a world that will permit the destruction of America but it will never impact their own existence. They think totalitarianism and sharia will coexist and somehow women will not be subjugated or oppressed. They are totally out of touch with America and reality. Right now, our destruction is paramount and consequences be damned.

This bears repeating although I would say Leftists are the cancer of the world because they use many different names with Democrat just being one of them. Communist, socialist, Progressive, democrat socialist, etc. etc. being a few more they use.

Indeed. Yet, he is much more than that. President Trump is The Echo of Our Framers' Uncorrupted President.
