Food for Thought from Jim McKinnery

Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed socialist, openly called for a revolution.  In socialist lexicon and history, “revolution” is the start of an insurgency to establish a socialist government.

His supporters were highly motivated and almost powerful enough to take out Clinton.

 

And Democrats are fracturing, losing power across the country, and desperate.

As they seek to define a direction, who can they rally to for leadership to mobilize the Bernie supporters and regain power?

My guess, Obama – who else is out there?  Common sense, old school democrats are shouted down and lose to the extreme voices of the party.

 

In history, socialists used very specific tactics (not hard to see in our system today):

Undermine lawful authority.

Undermine faith in institutions.

Undermine democratically elected leaders.

Mobilize loyalists, silence moderates.

Initiate violent actions to inspire loyalists.

Force a government over-response as a rallying cry against in-justice.

Use propaganda to spread their message.

Establish regime of fear to counter-free thought.

Assassination, riot, and rally forces to the fight. (Rush Limbaugh/Matt Drudge need security.)

Take power with an established political figure who vows to calm the situation.

Control the military, law enforcement, and judiciary.

Establish a socialist regime.

 

It lasts a few years, and fails.

 

The extremist will do anything to achieve their aims – but what are those aims?

Someone tell me what Democrats stand for that is in most Americans’ best interest?

This is their downfall.

 

And they lost the military, law enforcement and judicial system in the election.

 

The extremists have support, but common sense will prevail – more Americans will support stability over fear and violence – most have a good life and don’t respect free-loader thinking of Bernie supporters.

They will try revolution, and it may get a little ugly by our standards, but they will fail.

 

My take anyway,

jim

    The Swamp Republicans have just made Obamacare worse.

    We should not have Touchy-feely morons like Ivanka Trump adding on expensive child care benefits.
    We should not have Trump doing politicking to remove penalties and dig a deeper debt hole.
    (I was worried that Trump, despite his business ability, would not be sensitive to bankrupting the country faster.

    I never thought Rino Republicans would be stupid enough to modify (and thus own) Obamacare by making it even more expensive.

    The Lobbyists are winning this one.

    SHANGHAI (AP) — China has granted preliminary approval for 38 new Trump trademarks, paving the way for President Donald Trump and his family to potentially develop a host of branded businesses from hotels and golf clubs to bodyguard and concierge services, public documents show.

    (just kidding on the impeachment, by the way)

      I do believe Trump and his family have enough money…….and if he wants to be president, he needs to kool it for awhile…….

    I agree with McKinnery’s thoughts, except that it is far too one-sided in blaming the socialists/leftists.

    As if the US ‘Right’, if you want to call Republicans that, haven’t had their part in cheerleading wars, giving corporate criminality a free pass, spending us into the ground, and turning the US into a police state.

    Each side’s politicians serve the same masters.

      Ditto………Repubs are just part of the same TWO HEADED SNAKE, …….
      People should have already figured that one out……Papa Bush, Clinton, Baby Bush, Obama, just one big gang draining the life out of people for their benefit.
