They are afraid of Trump-supporting moderates, because some moderate Leftists might actually listen to them.
Keep in mind that as nothing remains of the old Extreme Left that is extreme to the Left anymore so that these people may think George McGovern, LBJ and FDR are right of center.
Right, Center and Left have no meaning when they are discussed apart from any sense of history.
And, as the Woke may attest, history is one of many things that represents White Supremacy ... so it is being erased.
Yep. Commies and Socialists who feel the need to hide it. The Bormann of the world.
As with a talking head shows, a balanced panel is two or three Leftist, a Leftist claiming to be a moderate and a moderate claiming to be conservative.
That might be true if what we call moderates today were anything but yesterday’s progressives who didn’t move farther Left with the rest.
Republicans in Congress: people who think compromising and getting along with evil somehow isn’t evil still.
Conservatives have already been marginalized.
Moderates are the next to go.
The first group the Russian Bolsheviks purged (in this case, killed), were their fellow Bolsheviks. Then they went whole hog against the Mensheviks, the more moderate communists.
After them were what could now be called the Liberal Democrats, or squishy liberals, who had made a hash of the first, democratic Russian government. In their time they had advanced some of the most idealistic, utterly pie-in-the-sky laws, that they were a laughingstock. Stuff that only the current government in California might consider. Like abolishing the rank structure in the military, in the middle of World War I.
If the Bolsheviks had just stopped at that, Russia would have benefited from the extermination of much of the left.
Which is why they will hopefully splinter the Left into shards.
RINO Republicanism is the frequent enemy of Conservative Republicanism.
I don’t even think Free Republic is filled with pure Conservatives. I doubt many can define it. I personally don’t come with a label other than American. I am actually sick of a-hole opinions from all sides. It’s exhausting as the last air comes out of the lungs of America.
“The proper model was first rolled out in the French Revolution and then perfected by Stalin ...”
And how did that work out for them?
Kevin Williamson is an odd choice to post at FR. He is one of the Trump haters from the Jonah Goldberg era National Review.
And the scumbag hates Trump even more now, as this piece from last October’s NR illustrates:
https://www.nationalreview.com/the-tuesday/hell-no/
IOW, it’s a troll post.
You might also remember Williamson for his utter contempt for the unemployed blue collars of the Rust Belt.
His NR piece about them was a recommendation that they just go die because they are unworthy losers. Compare that with Trump working to bring manufacturing jobs back so that the people of the Rust Belt have purpose and dignity again.
The old Catholic haunted NR which published the economist Wilhelm Roepke would have had nothing to do with a crass fool like Williamson.
I’m not sure, I looked for it but found several pieces by Williamson that could have been the article but I didn’t see a title that I remembered.
It may be a theme he’s used multiple times. So cool and woke to treat rural blue collar whites as expendable, you know. NR is such a pile of excrement now it’s hard to remember how great it once was.
And yet this Bari Weiss and the lunatics who fired her all voted for Biden.
Rowlings and the tranny lovers who cancelled her all voted for Corybn.
