Where the Democrats are Trying to Take Us
American Thinker ^ | 7-1-19 | Steve McCann

(Skip)

The primary threat to this nation is not Donald Trump nor his supporters but an evolving autocratic oligarchy made up of the hierarchy of American Left, which includes elements of the political class, the mainstream media, the education establishment and, most recently, the titans of Silicon Valley.

(Skip)

The common mindset of all those determined to seize power in perpetuity, either by force of arms or the ballot box, is a profound contempt for the dignity and sanctity of human life.

(Skip)

Additionally, over the past 90 years virtually all potential oligarchs or tyrants have utilized the following six political stratagems, that do not require armed conflict, in order to permanently obliterate any opposition. They were first employed by Adolf Hitler and documented by renowned American psychoanalyst, Dr. Walter C Langer:

(Skip)

Even the least politically involved Americans can see that over the past two decades, the hierarchy of the American Left and its appendages as well as many elected officials in the Democratic Party have been shamelessly utilizing all these tactics.

(Skip)

Hence, the American Left, and its political arm-- the Democratic Party-- is the ideological and spiritual offspring of the callous authoritarians that ran roughshod throughout the twentieth century. The American Left may not harbor the murderous and tyrannical urges of many of those despots but their determination to control all the levers of power is no different.

There wasn't enough room to fit the 6 tactics into the 300-word limit on excerpts. You can find them at the URL. Read it. This is a very good article. It is somewhat like previous Angelo Codevilla articles that described the elitist "ruling class" mentality of many Dem leaders. This article talks about their 6 tactics and the psychology behind them which naturally flow from their inflated ego and entitled mentality. The tactics are somewhat similar to those proposed by Saul Alinsky in his Rules for Radicals book.

Same place that Bush League Republicans want to take US.

North Mexico, with our sovereignty subsumed to the UN.

“The American Left may not harbor the murderous and tyrannical urges of many of those despots but their determination to control all the levers of power is no different.”

They are merely content with you forcing you from all communications channels, losing your job, your healthcare, and making you too toxic for anyone in the community to risk association with you.

But make no mistake, they want to kill you, and hate you for non-compliance and for the beacon of tradition and decency that you shine upon them by your very existence.
They would and will happily imprison or kill you. It has been proven several dozens of times around the world in the last 120 years alone.

The absolutely only thing they fear is the unsolvable problem of your rifles. There is no way around them and they know it.
So they pretend to have no desire to kill you...for now.

Aesop’s Fox and the grapes. They cannot kill us, so they pretend they have no wish to. But I am not fooled.

This person is apparently unfamiliar with Bill Ayers. They worship Che Guevara because they aspire to BE Che Gurvara.

Murderous and tyrannical? You betcha. In a heartbeat.

Yeah, how many did he say would have to be killed when they took over? 20 million or something?

Finally, always utilize the ultimate tactic in promoting dogma or denigrating one’s opponent: The Big Lie. People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if it is repeated frequently enough, people will sooner or later accept it as the truth. The fabricated dire consequences of so-called climate change; the contrived narrative of Donald Trump colluding with Russia; the myth of rampant white nationalism and the illusion that this is a virulently racist nation are recent examples of this stratagem.

This one is being used against us ... effectively. We have been made into 'the other'...

>>Where the Democrats are Trying to Take Us<<

No trying to it, they’re doing it. Either we separate from these people now or fight our way out of a deep hole later, there is no other choice.

At the heart of Cultural Marxism is Identity Politics. Herbert Marcuse, of the Frankfurt School, came to prominence in the 1960s. He believed that America’s Constitution is being used to oppress minorities. For him, it is the struggle between the oppressed minority and the oppressors (a twist on the classical Marxist haves vs. the have-nots). Under the Marxist umbrella is Social Justice, Feminism, Neo-progressivism, and Post-colonialism. Be it gender, sexual orientation, family, race, culture or religion, every aspect of a person’s identity is to be questioned. Every norm of society is to be challenged. Instead of the working class in classic Marxism, it has become minorities. Minority groups have become portrayed as the unprivileged and oppressed. Heterosexuals are oppressive. Whites are oppressive—especially white men. Christians are oppressive. So, if heterosexuals are oppressive, then encourage other forms of sexuality. If whites are oppressive, then promote diversity. If Christianity is oppressive, then promote Islam. It goes on and on, using the Marxist model, into a morass of continuous warfare between ever more narrowly defined groups of “offended” minorities. This is the demon of Identity Politics that has been shoved down our throats.

With this philosophy, a method has been devised to send America into a cycle of self-destruction with new tribes fighting their oppressors as they become identified. It will be Identity Politics run amuck. Out of that chaos will emerge the ruling elite to bring the masses to the ‘Utopian Age’ which is actually a facade for the totalitarian state.

I know it’s a cliche, but 2020 can be the most important election in our lifetimes.

And it’s not just the presidential election, but who we elect for the House, Senate, state legislatures, governors, is important too. And in those places which elect judges, who sits in a courtroom as a judge can have profound impacts on our lives as well.

Its really not cliché. While electing Trump may be the single most significant event in saving our nation, it should be obvious that with things as they stand today, going forward we will continuously be only one election away from the dissolution of the rule of law and the end of the republic. Its a scary place to be. We have much cleaning of house to be back to a safe place.

Where do they want to take us? How about back to the Dark Ages. There is no question now at this point that they’re out to totally destroy every single facet of traditional American life, society, culture...even civilization itself. They want us dead, or replaced, by illegals and moslems.
They’re insane and anyone that votes for one of em is as insane as they are. They all belong locked up in an asylum.
