So Leftists are Re-Branding Their Seditious, Anti-Constitutional and Treasonous Behavior as "The Resistance" and Conservatives LET Them???!

As usual, leftists take the high ground and control the language and as usual conservatives let them.

Instead of calling their treasonous behavior a resistance, lets tell the truth,

it is seditious, treasonous, anti-constitutional, and protecting the kleptocratcy that has robbed the taxpayers blind.

Clinton’s team did a great job of framing Trump as a dangerous and unstable Hitler-in-the-making. As I noted before, that provided moral cover for her supporters to threaten and physically assault Trump supporters in public.

You are pretty stupid. I am here doing the "Patrick Henry" to get you lazy scofflaws off your backsides in order to rally in protection of our Constitution and Republic.

But, like I said, conservatives are unable to agree with each other, work with together, or be nice.

Now, try again. How do we get conservatives to actually do something?

The use by the Left of the term, Resistance, is intended to invoke the memory of anti-Nazi resistance in German-occupied Europe during World War II. The clear implication is that Trump=Hitler and his supporters=Nazis. They wrap themselves with the images of Anne Frank, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the Warsaw Ghetto fighters, etc. Hypocritical as hell, of course. However, controlling the narrative is part of their strategy.

It was the GOP-e and Faux News which allowed this.
Not much you can do when the DNC controls the media message.
We can’t even call Antifa a terrorist org.

Nice reference article. Thank you for posting that.

Now, how do we get people to flood the streets in protection of the Constitution and those enumerated principles?

The ones that are allowing this are more than likely to be guilty of pay to play also.

We can steal it, because WE are the true resistance in this nation, the resistance to the Left, deep state, media dominated narrative all things political are made to conform to. We are the non-conforming resistance to a Leftist machine that thinks it is unstoppable and has a right to succeed.

Trump should re-title his campaign THE RESISTANCE.

There was no rebranding because they called themselves "the Resistance" from the very start. It was just branding, not rebranding.

While labels really do matter sometimes, I believe that focusing on this particular labelling would do our side a disservice. The left's repeated use of that particular word actually is useful to us because it means they can't escape/deny what they've done from the moment of Trump's elections -- tried to eliminate/destroy the Presidency of a duly elected President simply because they don't like him.

So when they claim that impeachment is just a reaction to the supposedly horrible things Trump did as President, we can disprove that easily simply by pointing out that "#resist" and "The Resistance" existed before any of this Ukraine crap, and before any of the alleged obstruction of justice stuff. Their own words prove they were dead set on removing Trump from office even before he was inaugurated.

So let them own that word -- we can point to their use of it way back in 2016 to prove just our unreasonable and radical they truly are.

If Trump loses in 2020, then using “The Resistance” as the basis for scorched-earth opposition to the new President from day one would be a great tactic. Because when they try to say “you should rally around the new President for the sake of national unity — which is of course exactly what they will say — us reviving “The Resistance” label will be great evidence of their double-standards, and their hypocrisy.

That should have happened on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009.

NO.

I want Trump to start making it clear that nothing from the Left is any resistance. THEY are the dominant force in the media, in academia, in the deep state, and their agendas have dominated politics for decades.

I want Trump to make it clear that the opposition is the entitled political elite, dominated by the Left, and they dominate everywhere. WE, Conservatives are the legitimate national resistance.

I want Trump to make it clear they, the Left, is not the resistance. We are.

His campaign should be rebranded now as The Resistance.

Yours is foolish thinking.

Reisitance is romantic.

Pointing things out is reactive. That is exactly where the leftists want conservatives, reacting to their tune.

They have Rebranded their sedition as a romantic la resistance

Read the Alinksy’s Rules for radicals. You are trapped in them.

Thank God Trump Alinsky’s them back

Wish his supporters would.
