I dislike the MSM as much as anyone, but they are not saying Republicans are Nazis - they are saying Republicans are dupes, fooled by the Bannon's and Eastman's and the rest that cooked up this big lie, the premeditated dumping of acid on the foundation pillars of our democracy.
"When they internalize this and they so casually drop the reference, they don't care." They haven't cared in quite some time. IMO, today's reality is that 50% of the country will believe almost anything that comes from the left (including the media) and 50% of the country will believe almost anything that comes from the right (including the media). Both sides are guilty of fear-mongering BECAUSE IT WORKS, and that's on us for believing it.
For the past decade I've used the WWE as my analogy for Washington. Two opponents enter the ring pumping their fists, puffing out their chests, and talking smack about each other. They climb in the ring and dramatically engage by flying off the top rope and breaking chairs. One is eventually declared the victor. But at the end of the night they have a beer together and laugh because we think it's real.
Where will the person like Ronald Reagan or Dwight Eisenhower come from to bring the GOP together. Those men did not just appear over night. Will the GOP snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again. The members of the GOP are people with real ideas and real opinions. It is always like hearing cats. Dan
Erick, like a majority of the establishment, is playing word games with the matter of the "stolen" election. Maybe it wasn't stolen in the traditional sense of the word, but there were enough irregularities in the key battle ground states to effect the outcome. We are talking less than 100,000 votes in aggregate. I'm sure you've read the 3-part report by Peter Navarro, see the link here if you haven't - https://peternavarro.com/the-navarro-report/. Major ballot integrity and chain of custody issues with respect to absentee ballots, as well as issue with ballot harvesting, again together effecting enough votes to swing the election. Regardless, it is water under the bridge, with the exception that the leaks in the boat must be patched before it sets sail again. Can we at least agree on that much?
Jim, here's my problem with all of this: Hillary Clinton is an UNDISPUTABLY PROVEN criminal based upon her private email server and her handling of top-secret information through that server. The law she broke requires NO PROOF OF INTENT, only the proof that classified information was mishandled by the user. A submariner famously spent a year in prison for posting four pictures from inside his sub with classified equipment in the background, yet Hillary still walks free. And we haven't even scratched the surface on the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One. Washington is FILLED with stories of people just like Hillary getting away with outrageous and often criminal behavior, so why would you think that ANYTHING would ever come of the 2020 election investigations when even many Republicans wanted Trump gone?? Hell, even John Durham still hasn't charged anyone of significance regarding the Russian collusion investigation, and I thought that was a slam-dunk! It's disgusting because you and I would have our butts dragged into court and imprisoned for far less.
1 step forward this morning and now 2 steps back huh Erick? Thats a reach equating the term the big lie with Nazis. How about the blutfahne the supporters of the republican Virginia gubernatorial candidate were pledging allegiance to like Neil mentioned in the comments of your prior post. Maybe it isnt a reach on 2nd thought...maybe the media is calling them nazis because they are acting like Nazis? I'm just saying. Out here waving blutfahnes and all....nazi style.....again...im just saying.
This Democrat ploy of calling those that claim the election was stolen (I'm with you on this Erick) Nazis are not going to help anyone in this country. What happens if some crazy Dem listens to this and decides that taking out Republican voters actually helps the country and innocent people get hurt or killed? We got lots of areas where the Dems in charge are not even arresting bad guys! All this division scares me. I have friends that won't talk to me or acknowledge my existence since they know I am not a Biden fan or a "woke" leftist! This is not going to end well if the Democrat party doesn't stop it's media arm from this HATE!
“ What happens if some crazy Dem listens to this and decides that taking out Republican voters actually helps the country and innocent people get hurt or killed? ”……..Agree……..Is it a stretch to say that those calling for “shoot the protestors” on January 6th led to the environment that resulted in Ashley Babbit’s death??
What about Molly Hemingway's book," Rigged" The election may have not been stolen but it was bought by Zuckerburg. To me that is just as disappointing. If that can happen how important is my vote or the other Republicans who sat out in the Ga. runoffs. My friend who is a life long Republican says the Republicans just got out smarted. To me buying the election is just as immortal as stealing. I am not angry at you but if you think what the Democrats was OK just being smarter. You better think again. GOD has judged countries for less. Dan
The idea that Russian Facebook ads swayed the 2016 election is stupidity absurd. The idea that the media and big tech stole, or bought the 2020 election is stupidity absurd.
You are focusing on the wrong thing, like when a criminal uses a gun, more gun control. No, more criminal control.
We are living in a time after decades of liberal control of schools. It's not a conspiracy, it is by design that we have a lot of adults that don't understand what critical thinking is and are conditioned to be superficial, incapable of analysis.
Saying we need to control the media and big tech is just saying we want our side in control.
No, we want the people in control. But that requires an informed and educated electorate. Information is readily available, discerning the true from lies requires both skill and the certainty you are right. They have only to reject what the media and social media are presenting.
If Hemmingway is right we are done, we are living in Idiocracy.
Long ago and far away I wrote for a very small conservative website and after learning of Obama's affiliation with him I did my own research on Bill Ayers, including a visit to his website. I don't know if it's still there but I saw with my own eyes a declaration by Ayers that he traded activism (i.e., blowing up federal buildings as a part of the Weather Underground) in favor of education because he realized that "educating" children was a far more effective means of overthrowing capitalism.
"If Hemmingway is right we are done, we are living in Idiocracy"
Have you seen the 2006 movie, "Idiocracy" If not, would be worth taking time to do so, then decide for yourself. Frankly, my take is we are, indeed, living among enough idiots to tip the scales toward Idiocracy, indeed. ;-)

Voters? Remember what happened to Steve Scalise and Rand Paul?

Satan has two great strengths - one is an overabundance of fear or even worship of him. The other is complete disregard/disbelief in him. Hmm...
