Opinion: Democrats reap the whirlwind of their mob mentality
The Washington Examiner ^ | December 20, 2018 | by Harlan Hill

Posted on 12/21/2018 7:19:30 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The Democrats let the cat out of the bag, and now it’s clawing them in the face. The unruly mobs they mobilized to help them win control of the House of Representatives are now setting their sights on Democratic leaders.

Nearly 150 people were arrested recently outside the offices of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., while holding a protest to demand radical action on climate change.

It’s hard to feel too much sympathy, though, since Pelosi and her fellow Democrats have only themselves to blame for their current predicament. It was the Democrats, after all, who opened up the Pandora’s box of unruly mob action in the first place.

In the run-up to the 2018 midterm elections, Democrats explicitly encouraged their supporters to harass Republican officials, condoned the violent domestic terrorism of the Antifa movement, and called for baying mobs to illegally disrupt congressional proceedings during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The Democrats thought they could harness the fury of the far-left — anti-democratic, violent, and radical to its core — for their short term political gains. They were wrong. In an effort to gain power, they unleashed a golem on American politics, and the monster they created is now coming after them too.

And this is exactly how it always goes with fascists. And Democrats are no exception.

Recall the Russian henchman, Nikolai Yezhov, in the Stalin era Soviet Union. He was a blood-thirsty Communist who himself was eliminated by the very apparatchiks he helped bring to power. He was ultimately photoshopped out of existence after he was terminated.

Democrats have employed some of this very same henchman type strategy. May it all turn out similarly for them. And history proves it will.

He looks kind of like a soyboy — the bow tie doesn’t help his credibility.

Still, I certainly hope that Pelosi, Schumer et. al. get loads of grief from their demented followers.

Dr. Frankenstein creates the monster, he loses control and it turns on him.

Don’t these folks learn ANYTHING from watching the Late Late Show?

This is what has happened in California

Corrupt California Democrats put a plan of demographic replacement to swamp the white middle class with welfare dependent illegal aliens

In some places in California, illegals have wrested control from the old line, establishment Democrats and ousted them from power

It’s ironic but it’s also a disaster as California is now becoming a government of la Raza illegal aliens, by la Raza illegal aliens and pretty much exclusively for la Raza illegals

Californians are increasingly second class citizens and strangers in their own state

It’s become so pervasive even the elites are becoming impacted

They did it to themselves

I might be wrong... But didn’t this outrage trend all start with their support for the Furgeson riots?

He posed as a democRAT strategist during the election campaign, but is actually a pro-Trump guy.

Where is the non-stop media coverage of these arrests?

Crickets.

More proof of that the Media and Democrat party are one.

As an employer of two hard working Hispanic types
I’ll trll you one thing
They ain’t islamonazis That’s for sure
Another is they like to WORK
THIRD. Is they have FAMILIES.
FOURTH. most go to church
So all this LA raza crap etc is a small minority.
A few bad apples.
How many mass shootings do we have in CA by Mexicans ? Zero
How many suicide bombers ? Zero
And it’s really the STUPID WHITE IDIOTS here keeping Demoncats in power. Starting with Silicon Valley and fakebook. Twit. Etc
So the argument goes. “ they suck up all this welfare money “
Look. If you’re on welfare. You have no life. I pity you

Perhaps they are beginning to realize that no-one is actually radical enough to live up to their radical agenda. All the over-the-top sensationalism they’ve employed, and the extremism they have fostered...now coming home to roost.
