Don’t Underestimate Dumb Voters’ Appetite For Idiot Leftist Politicians

You should not for a moment fail to appreciate the risk posed to your freedom by left-wing It-Fascists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Beto O’Rourke. There’s an undeniable appeal of this kind of Potemkin Politician for the kind of morons that the Democrats count on at the ballot box. Sure, the Nitwit Naïf is ridiculously ignorant and dumb – she knows nothing and demonstrates no capacity to learn anything. Sure, Tex Kennedy is a meat puppet dancing on the strings held by his masters. But this is the same country where the voters elected Barack Obama, twice.

They can absolutely win power, which means the leftist elite that controls them could win power, and that means disaster for our country. Like an our-country-splitting-apart kind of disaster. So, we need to accurately assess the threat they pose and figure out how to fight it. We need to not fool ourselves into thinking that these two dorks are too goofy for the voters to ever elect, particularly if some Fredocon doofus whose dad used to be a mailman tries to play spoiler.

Remember that a plurality of the voters voted for Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit; the Electoral College is not going to save our freedom forever. We need to get woke to the threat and act accordingly.

Though mocking them is important, because they are clowns and clowns should be mocked, mocking them is not nearly enough. Mockery really only helps reinforce our own morale, assuring ourselves of what we already know – that they are terrible. Our mockery doesn’t affect the dummies. Most liberal voters are just as civics-illiterate as AOC is, so they just shrug when she botches the three branches of government.

It’s different with O’Rourke. It’s not that Beto does not know what the Constitution says. It’s that he is against what it says.

Remember how Donald Trump was mocked? They said he was a joke. They said his policies were ridiculous. They said he’s dumb. He’s so dumb he beat the Smartest Woman In The World and 16 other Republicans of various levels of establishment acceptability.

The point is not to draw some false equivalence between these two media darlings and the president, because they represent very different situations. The point is that voters will not necessarily respond to their favorites being portrayed as buffoons, whether it is true or not. In Trump’s case, it was the mainstream media doing the defining. The president was an outsider. He succeeded by defying the elite and by speaking for people – the militant Normals – who the ruling class had been oppressing for years.

AOC and Beto are something entirely different. They will be protected by the media, and actively covered for. That’s because they are elite catspaws disguised as radical disrupters. Though they attempt to speak the language of outsiders, every single thing they propose is exactly in line with the desires of the elite establishment. Gun control? Check – yeah, the same people hating on the cops are also the same ones demanding that only the cops under the control of the elite have guns. Climate change? Check – gee, how can a carbon tax go wrong? Bizarre theories about race and gender? Check – sure, let’s turn our country into a crucible of social justice witch hunts that would embarrass the town fathers of Salem, assuming they identify as male. I wouldn’t want to misgender anyone who hanged women for imaginary crimes.

Of course, Ocasio-Cortez blabs about “socialism,” but her rantings are straight out of Marxism for Dummies. Nothing she says threatens the rice bowl of the zillionaire donor base Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have cultivated. Free college, free medicine, free this, free that – it’s all just more graft for the Democrats to distribute, and it will all come from the pockets of people like you. Do you think the people who write the checks to the DNC are going to end up paying the bill for this nonsense? Really?

These two are rebels for the establishment, radicals demanding we keep on our present course toward corporatist socialism and progressive hegemony. They disrupt nothing. They are agents of the leftist status quo.

So, how do we fight Chavez Chick and Che-to?

Sure, we keep up the mockery to reinforce our own side, but we need to reach past our own people to the voters who are not yet woke but who are susceptible to reason. We do that by taking these two seriously. To the extent we can get around a liberal media that is an unapologetic arm of the Democrat Party, we get them to talk. We ask them who pays for their stuff. Free college? Okay, I paid for my college. Why should I pay for someone else’s college too? If their college is important enough for me to work to pay for, why isn’t it important enough for them to work and pay for?

“Why should I pay for your constituent’s goodies?” is a powerful message, and one we’ve not used enough lately. The useless Paul Ryan faction thinks it’s unfair to bring up arguments like that, but now the House is going to be the site of debates and that needs to be a key issue.

Who pays? You pay!

We’re the ones the elite expects to write a check for all these benefits. We need to pound that home because that idea still has an appeal to moderates. To this end, enlightened self-interest is our friend.

“Why should we pay for other people’s degree in transsexual Marxist mime?”

“Why should we pay more for gas when China and India are increasing their carbon emissions while we are decreasing ours?”

“Why should we pay welfare to the uninvited foreigners who contribute so much to America’s rich tapestry of entitlement and sloth?”

“Why should we pay more for health care? And don’t tell me we won’t because your last bright idea Obamacare cost us plenty.”

We need to take these hacks head-on, both for ourselves and our kids. Don’t think for a moment that the millennial generation is not stupid enough to embrace the agents of their own servitude. The first generation to fail to surpass the success of the previous one is perfectly capable of eagerly voting to make their own lives worse in the name of…whatever it is that motivates these fools. Probably kale and feelings.

Both deserve laughter, but it’s a mistake to laugh them off. It’s a mistake our country might not recover from.

My third novel about America after it splits apart due to leftist stupidity is available now. Check out Wildfire and see what could very well happen if we let people like AOC and Beto take power on behalf of the leftist elite that controls them!

Who needs voters? Not the Democrats…they just “harvest” votes from the illegal, the dead, or the non-existent….

P – those are just a few sprinkles on the cupcake. They create millions upon millions of voters by allowing them to flow in illegally and endlessly, and by giving the stupid and lazy free shit, stolen from the pockets of the most productive. Soon a critical mass of stupid voters will be reached, and then the only thing that will stop them is a total economic and societal collapse and reset. The days of the Republic are numbered.

A real concern. The days of the republic have passed. I think we already have enuf new democrat votes, and certainly by 2020, that nothing we think or care about matters any longer. Trump is failing. He was apparently our only hope. But we arent out in the streets supporting him. And there is just no way with the concentration of media control for conservatives to flip america back. We should all be looking for the exit, or prepping a plan to get out of this land when shit gets worse. When the push to end whiteness gets more intense. I trust that they will do what they say. Execute climate deniers, gun owners, and whites. They say it out loud and dont hide it.

Voting is nothing more than a courtesy now. All of the big decisions are already made. Voting is simply to give you the illusion of choice. Like YOU have some say in this. You don’t. It is ALL theater. All of it. Don’t believe it…where is the change that was promised in 2009, 2012, 2016 etc. Each election is supposed to be so important, and so much change is supposed to happen, if only this person or that person is elected. Yea, ok.
The occasional – cortex and these other clowns, both on the useless GOP and DNC side are just the “talent” . The real decisions and changes are made well away from the cameras. Then the narrative is sent out to the MSM to give a good spin to the decision that was made, so you can continue to be productive, so THEY continue to have return on their investment. It is a giant plantation – and you are the nigger.

I’m not sure asking those questions (who pays) is going to work.

My office manager, who is fantastic at her job by the way, is the typical young socialist democrat who will swear she and her friends don’t vote straight ticket, but they do. She proudly exclaimed she voted for a republican in the mid terms, a school board member of Wayne State University……

Anyway, she’s a very smart 26 year old, she understands the business side of labor as I run a commercial painting company that can only stay in business if the employees produce more than we compensate them for.

Two days ago I was reading parts of the Daily Pfennig to her about the rising nations debt, corporate debt, and personal debt, all setting new records.
She was telling me how she is debt free and about her boyfriend who works for a non profit that helps with legal issues for the physically handicapped and his student loan debt and why he pays only the minimum.

Paraphrasing: “Under obama he changed the rules to attract more young people to work for non profits, so if you work 10 years for the government or a tax exempt non profit then, POOF, your student debt is gone, GONE!” This was explained with a lot of hand waving and a huge smile…..

She was wrong about obama as this rule came into effect in 2007, but it’s true, make 120 months of minimum payments and the balance is forgiven.

We then had a brief talk about how the debt doesn’t go away, just who pays for it.
Even with the intimate knowledge and facts of our business she is still under the spell of the promise of socialism being the cure all.
No debt, national wage, free health care, free college, affordable housing, free energy, clean oceans, clean air, rainbows and unicorns, every. damn. day.

I agree the leftist New NAZI PARTY needs to be taken down head on . We must examine what makes their socialist messeges so appealing . The true money people , real owners of America , the circle jerk of Wall Street to K-Street to Capitol Street have engourged themselves and their bank accounts while average American working people the middle class were left behind . Losing financial ground daily for decades and when it all caved in who got bailed out and who got handed the bill .
The industrial engine that fueled middle America and this nation has been stripped clean like road kill and signs of continued decay are everywhere .
The time to listen to people like Ron Paul are long past and now the mountain of debt piled up is crushing and killing our nation . We need only look in the mirror to see who is at fault now and try to prepare for the levithon we have or had a hand in creating is now paracitically coming home to eat our complacent asses !

That’s been a multi decade plan since Kissinger and Nixon opened China, and more general for generations before that. We should expect Trump to rectify that in one term.

States are already shredding the 2nd ammendment step by step. Taxing, banning, increasing purchasing age to 21, making it nearly impossible to legally carry a gun in more and more states/cities. A decent chunk of the democrat party hate us, basically anyone who doesn’t give into them 100%. They hate America, the bill of rights all of it. They just use their strange new intersectionality Victim cult to manipulate people. Handing out so called free shit to appease their base of perma-victims.

Meanwhile the gov’t is going broke at a breakneck pace. Our gov’t resembles Japan more and more, there are no fiscally responsible people left, clearly the Rep’s gave up on it. The Dems are drooling at the mouth to sink the Titanic even quicker. Their healthcare “plan” alone would demolish the economy and speed up the debtfest. They couldn’t even put out a damn website without a year+ of endless problems. Healthcare despite all its problems employs a ton of folks and so do insurance companies. The Medicaid for all bullshit would just crater the economy completely. Trump’s “grow out of the debt” garbage is pure fantasy at this point, that might have worked 15years ago but not any longer. But clearly there is no way to tax out of the hole either, so the debt fest is not a problem its a predicament. No politician on either side can get elected by talking about scaling back Medicare/Medicaid or the Military, which would have to happen to start balancing the budget. So we just wait until the icy waters finally make it over the side, meanwhile there are plenty of other nations that are Titanics as well with huge debt problems, or huge non-assimilating Muslim populations that will help tear their little socialistic countries to pieces. Not sure how anyone can sell hope anymore in this world, it looks like 1984 more than a brave new world.

I appreciate what Kurt’s saying but it’s past the point of no return and there’s not enough time left to try and change the minds of people who may be open to logic and reason….especially Millenials. Anyone of them I’ve ever met seems to think they’re right about everything all the time because they saw it on Facebook or YouTube. I’m going to keep prepping and wait for the store shelves to go empty.

America is finished. It’s over. Might as well comes to terms with our destination which is only going to be pain, suffering and probably much bloodshed. Even if they force us to stay together there will still be much hate between groups. We have been betrayed by our so called leaders /elites . They have sabotaged our nation on purpose. Most of the elite of our nation have given themselves over to the Luciferian doctrine of one world government . They believe they will be rewarded with paradise on Earth through technology without having to face death . They think with this ” secret knowledge ” they will live forever. Become as their own gods . This deception runs throughout the ruling elite. They are the biggest damn fools on this planet. I used to ask myself how could our educated , wealthy elites could believe such utter bullshit. Then I remembered ” God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie ” . 2 Thessalonians 2-11. My only conclusion is that God have given them over to ” The lie “.

If we get the Left, it’ll be the fault of the Right for having left unmolested the big monopolies that conspire against common folks – most notably the medical/insurance complex. How can it be legal for a hospital to charge an uninsured person $116,000 for emergency services that are considered paid in full for $14,000 when paid by an insurance company? That wide conspiratorial pricing disparity effectively forces people (and/or their employers) to pay outrageous premiums (totaling $20,000/ year or more when the “employer’s” portion is considered) for insurance that pays out very little.

Other lesser examples are the way Americans are charged much higher prices for certain medicines than citizens of others countries pay for the exact same drugs and the entire clusterfuck that is higher education pricing.

A comprehensive comparison – including tax rates – might persuade a person that we have it better than people in Canada or Europe, but it’s certainly not obvious and when the conspiracies are right in your face – as with health insurance, drug prices and college pricing – the temptation to say “fuck it” shouldn’t be unexpected.

Schlichter should quit going after the easy targets like Ocasio-Cortez and attack the politicians who stand in the way of simple reforms that could make what we have better.

The multiple “why should we pay…” questions are unarguably the opening to discussions on how to logically hammer out the reasons that the liberal socialistic ideas cannot be sustained. However, logic is no where in the thought patterns of a socialist loyalist. The questions simply won’t work. Just as you see Pelosi and Schumer sitting in the White House and denying FACTS that the President read from notes prepared by his staff, Logic cannot be used, understood, and will not entertain in their pursuit of a USSA agenda. The more a conservative asks questions and tries to explain, the louder the left screams about equality, fairness, and free stuff.

I’m in agreement with another blogger on this string……. keep prepping and preparing yourself for the inevitable collapse and choke-hold of the NWO elites.

I know the point of Schlichter’s article wasn’t the particular candidates poised to lock in corporatist socialism, but for 2020 I don’t see how “Tex Kennedy” (good one) stands a chance. I’m still convinced that if she can come in no lower than 3rd place in Iowa and New Hampshire, Kamala Harris will be unbeatable once blacks become a bigger proportion of the democrat nominating electorate (South Carolina). California is not winner-take-all, but they have moved up their primary and should ensure Harris’ victory. She checks off more demographic boxes than anyone else. I don’t see how any white guy could get the nomination in a party where the majority of activists are women and minorities. Trump threaded the needle in winning PA, MI and WI. That’ll be damn hard to replicate. Half of the western democracies have childless leaders. Harris would fit right in.

Of the two, O’Rourk is the more dangerous. Women will have organisms over him like they did Obama.

When I see that mule face my immediate thought is —> “I wish I could kick her in the fuck!”

I agree with Llpoh and others … what she symbolizes is what Khrushchev once said; that we Americans will hang ourselves with our own vote …err, rope.

Quick example; NYC Mayor DeBlasio and Gov. Cuomo are massively immoral and corrupt to their very core. There is not one day (literally) where the NY Post isn’t reporting one fraud or another. Yet, they both easily won reelection. As that did that fucking criminal from NJ, Sen. Mendacious. As are ….. on and on and on

One big reason the Roman Empire fell is because of the super massive corruption of their political class, especially the Senate.

American is mimicking Rome. The Great Fall might be delayed … for example, by electing populists like Trump, and this will give some or many Great Hope. But that hope will be dashed against the Rocks Of Mediocrity that is fast becoming a bedrock American value. Folks … abandon hope! We’re fucked. And deep in your beautiful hearts you know it.

Free Medicare for all, Yeah that sounds good until you consider the following:

1) 16% of the US population is covered under Medicare.

2) 27% of the Federal Budget goes to pay for Medicare.

So the question is – what happens to the Federal Budget when 100% of the population is covered under Medicare??

Most of what he says is true but I increasingly have trouble taking Schlichter seriously because he is way too much of a trump apologist. Trump has done fuck-all about any of the things he was elected to change and this guy still carries water for him, no matter what he says or does. If electing trump proved one thing, it’s that there is no voting our way out of this. Another point, even if there were actually people who would at least try to do the things trump promised to do, demographic changes in this country will ensure they never have a chance at getting elected. Which, to hammer my point home, is another problem trump was elected to fix but hasn’t done shit about. So, he is essentially ensuring he will lose in 2020 by basically letting this continue. And he is ensuring no one like him will ever be elected again even if he manages to squeeze out a win in 2020. So, now that we’ve established that, what next?

Kurt and many other writers are blaming the wrong crowd. Why can’t we just admit that we’ve been had and we’ve been fukked by the Republicans, not the Dems. We always knew the Dems were the enemy so we didn’t vote for them. We voted for the Faux-cons posing as Republicans for many years now. I was one of their biggest fools and useful idiots when we gave the Replocrats the House, Senate and Governors mansion in MT in the 90’s. They promptly sold us out and to make it worse they sat back and allowed Hill&Bill to sick their goons on us as payback.
Trump is a Chump. Put there by Adelson et al as prozac for our kind to keep us calm for another 4 till the horse was completely out of the barn. Illegal immigration has exploded under Trump da Chump and has now made it impossible to turn the tide. All by design. Much to my dismay, Trump turned out to be exactly what I said he would be in 2016. If you voted for him just own it and get past it. You have lots of company. Trade your Maga hat for a yellow vest. By lots of rimfire ammo and lots of pipe and fittings so you can make disposable guns. You’ll be needing them to get free shit from the free shit army. You tube still has tutorials on how to make slam fire guns or give me a shout. We have about 18 months.

WTF !! Trump is a 10th dimensional chess player. He’s gonna lock up all the pedos and take the money from the Fed and wipe out all the debt. Then he’s gonna bring all the troops home and they are going to build the wall, which Mexico is gonna pay for. Then he’s gonna stomp China when it comes to trade. Trust in the Plan!!!!!

So why doesn’t Trump just tax all money being sent out of the U.S. to Mexico? To pay for his wall.
He did run on Mexico paying for it. He should just keep pointing out how Democrat ideas are unfunded.
Democrats attract voters/supporters by offering free shit. Trump could do another one of his campaign promises of taking pot off being a class1 drug and letting the states voters decide what to do. A new source of revenue to tap for paying down the debt. I know many old farts don’t like the idea, but it is supposed to be a free country where people decide adult issues for themselves.
