The Left's Last Spasm
American Thinker.com ^ | October 18, 2017 | J.R. Dunn

Posted on 10/18/2017 4:22:37 AM PDT by Kaslin

As far as anybody knows, the November 4th revolution/tantrum/jamboree planned by Antifa and its associate organizations remains on schedule. The “Opposition” – Antifa, the John Brown Clubs, Refuse Fascism, and assorted other scraps have announced that on that date the revolution will begin with a mass nationwide uprising that will continue until the Trump/Pence regime is overcome. Dozens of hundreds of the people’s vanguard will hit the streets, squatting at intersections and holding their breaths until the fascists are exorcised and the new epoch of light is fully underway. (Further details can be found here.)

Conservatives, as is all too often the case, have overreacted. Numerous sites, publications, and radio shows have featured rhetoric such as “Antifa Planning Communist Revolution for America on November 4,” “Patriots beware! ANTIFA plans armed uprising on November 4!,” and “The Leftist Chaos Will Be Coming On November 4th.” (Links withheld to protect the guilty.)

But the truth, if anything, is exactly the opposite. What we are experiencing, far from a deadly revolutionary upsurge threatening everything of value, is a historically unique situation where, for the first time on record, a leftist movement is in complete and accelerating collapse within a democratic polity. The upcoming people’s revolt is simply another symptom of this.

The Democrats, America’s de facto leftist party (note how a sworn socialist, Bernie Sanders, is effectively exercising leadership of the party without anyone so much as blinking) have lost over 1,000 offices nationwide in the past year. The GOP controls nearly two-thirds of all governorships and nearly half of state governments. The left’s political presence and influence is negligible across vast areas of the heartland.

It’s best to ignore them, and let the law take its course. We hold all the cards.

The law needs to get off it's rear end and start prosecuting. And I'm not sure the current GOP is really "we".

Last spasm... highly unlikely. What the hell do these vile, psychotic, mindless womyn’s studies graduates have to do on a daily basis, then lash out at normal, civilized people and attack and subvert the institutions that have withstood their countless prior attempts at destruction?

-—Bernie Sanders, is effectively exercising leadership of the party——

I don’t think so. I think the party is leaderless

Sure, the left is imploding, but us normals would likely be violently attacked and possibly killed if we happened to wander into the path of the antifa traitors, hence, the dire warnings to conservatives.

Another ‘Left down for the count’ article. The truth is it’s just the latest chapter of a very long war between Good and Evil. As Plato said ‘Only the dead have seen the end of war’. Stay vigilant.

With Jeff Sessions as AG, the Soros funded vandals and killers will be a protected class.

The "left" is a tool for the Russians to use against the United States, and any other FREEDOM LOVING nation, for that matter.
But most of them don't even take the time to think about HOW they're being used .
Take a read at this:

Antifa is a RUSSIAN PUPPET !

Good one Nate. Who can say it better than a disciple of Plato? Perhaps, his disciple, Aristotle.

Soros just set up an 18 billion-dollar fund to keep this scam going.

I really am not impressed with this article.

The “lone-nut” interpretation of the Las Vegas shooting is particularly disturbing—such propaganda benefits no-one but the deep state—while their narrative of Las Vegas crumbles before our eyes.

Is the world driven by ideology or conspiracy.

I say conspiracy!

The fact that they think their behavior is acceptable, and that they, mostly, get away with it argues strongly against this bein a “last gasp.”
Maybe the opening moves of a civil war, but not a last gasp.

Make sure your guns are clean and oiled. Carry extra magazines or speed loaders.Rifles in cars. Sooner or later these people will start shooting. Many have been training with guns. If the Party thinks it is time to use guns they will be plentifully provided.

Passed a sign on the side of the road this morning trying to recruit protesters for $15/hour. I’m guessing they haven’t been overrun with volunteers.
