Scream at the Sky! Take to the Streets!
The Progressive Left is hoping to kick-off a full-scale, Bolshevik style Revolution on November 4th. What do you guys think will actually come of it? I am sort of expecting a fizzle accompanied by sporadic acts of violence and property destruction.
I am also not exactly sure in what way the Trump Administration has been a “nightmare.” In my mind, living in a Venezuela or Zimbabwe would be a nightmare. Are late-night Tweet storms really that scary?

ROFLMAO……..less than 2% of the population that politically affiliates as nazis/communists/antifa/progressives/open borders libertarians still cannot do the math seventy years later. Why do the national flag colors of the nazis/antifa represent the sadomasochistic sexual behaviors of the homosexual/bisexual/GID population?

Mm-hmm. And they would have been totally okay with conservatives taking to the streets to drive the Obama-Biden regime from power, right? They wouldn’t have said anything about “the law of the land,”right? (Hint: they said you just had to accept and live with Obamacare because it was the law of the land).
Unlike the Occupy movement, this one has a stated goal, although it will probably accomplish about as much as Occupy or the Pussy Hat March did.

I can’t understand why these progressives get so nutty over Trump. Trump is not even a true conservative. He is more like a centrist Democrat. At least he cares about securing our borders.

I’m not sure. I wouldn’t be surprised were a large violent act committed such as the blowing up of a bridge, etc. I hope those employed in public safety are well aware of the dangers posed by unhinged lunatics being encouraged by our universities and media.

Been there, done that. Sounds like the days of the Weather Underground and Patty Hearst (Symbionese Liberation Front) all over again. It didn’t amount to much except some crazy a’holes committing violence and even killing a few people but maybe I’m wrong. Some of them did become professors and the elite that mentored Obama and Hillary Clinton so maybe they did cause a minor revolution and the neo-a’holes believe this is the final push to bring about the socialist utopia but I think the Trump card has been played by we Americans who woke up and saw where we were and said, OH… NO THANK YOU!

This same organization, using the same rhetoric, planned massive protests in January to prevent the inauguration. Look how well that worked.
These clowns can do some damage, though. There will be some vandalism, and maybe some cases of people getting hit with bicycle locks or sprayed with pepper spray. There has been some talk of Antifa buying AR-15s and AK-47s, but most of them probably don’t know how to load the magazines.
If there are riots and assaults, the media will try to spin the coverage, making the aggressors look like victims, and vice versa.
If possible, I would try to avoid downtown areas and public parks that are likely scenes for large gatherings. Also highways, where rioters may try to obstruct traffic.
And “progressives get so nutty over Trump” because he is throwing a monkey wrench into the works. Able-bodied young adult welfare recipients are angry because they might have to trade in their free cell phones for alarm clocks. Third wave feminists are mad because they have been deprived of a token female president. The news media and Big Hollywood are mad because the 2016 election proved that they are not as influential as they think they should be. Limousine liberal Democrats and crony capitalist Republicans are afraid that immigration reform will cut off their supply of cheap labor.

The definition of “fascist” is fluid but, IMHO, the only fascists I see are on the left: the people that would outlaw speech that some mob doesn’t like and that beats people up and destroys property when they don’t get their way.
@8: Tom – if the latest NYC atrocity is any indication, violence from the lefty-jihadis will prompt the MSM to worry over a backlash against antifa.

Like the dog who catches the car, what are they going to do after the coup if they succeed? They can’t just expect the US and state governments to go as as if nothing has happened. Or am I making the mistake of applying logic again?
Tom (#8) has good advice to avoid probable flash points. Might be a good day to organize the CD collection or rake those leaves in the back yard.

As long as they stay in the 487 counties Hitlery won, they will be safe.

A full page ad in the NY Times. That is some heavy bread that got spent there …
Also, the link to the InfoWars article makes it sound like this is Soros’ pet project that he oversees–“Soros funds it.” The link they offer does not say or suggests this. It says that he provided funds through his Foundation whilst other organizations did as well. I guess using Soros’ name as a boogeyman gets the right more riled up than say using Patagonia Inc or Ben & Jerry’s foundation or a cosmetics firm.

A lot of people actually do keep track of what the Soros and Brock foundations, respectively, do. Where they funnel their anti-American activist monies. What their anti-American anti-trump stated and documented agendas say and their obvious plans here and around the world. It’s not difficult to understand unless you’re a blind commie and a fraud. And there are many more precious foundations including Obama’s that do these things. It’s a matter of fact. I haven’t personally researched it but Infowars and others actually do watch these jackasses.
As to what I personally think of this particular scheduled Obama-modeled futility – it’s just another one of a current raft of wasted Investments by various leftist crybabies. They can whine and stomp their feet all they please. They have no substantial champions. They’re useful in converting Independents to conservatism. They’re useful in converting Independents to the GOP platform, which is run by Trump. They’re useful in converting Independents to the left of center Right that’s run by Tumor McCain.
In other words, it’s a win-win for the Right as a whole
So, commies, go ahead and scream at the Chicken Little sky and stomp those feet. It’s an activity that will keep you busy while we continue to transform the United States. We the People chose Trump and his performance has been excellent in following his promises and agendas.
Thanks again. A loser’s snark has no fire. Your suffering is delectable. Daily.

It’s a rare universe indeed where ‘Soros provided funds through his foundation’ is not the direct equivalent of ‘Soros funded this.’
Just because more people than Soros funded it doesn’t mean that Soros doesn’t fund it or that it doesn’t do what he wants.
On the boogeyman note, how much time has the MSM media spent discussing Soros and how much money he has channeled into political activities and politics, compared to how much time they’ve spent on the Koch brothers? Is the time differential proportional to the relative wealth of the Koch brothers and Soros?

Linking to Alex Jones? Just when I thought this site couldn’t sink lower.

Hi Hanover,
“It’s a matter of fact. I haven’t personally researched it but Infowars and others actually do watch these jackasses.”
So, you do not actually disagree with what I said. You are willing to take Infowars view on this when the article they LINKED to makes no such claim. Feel free to take Alex Jones views on this but behaving like a sheep is unattractive Hanover.
And Aerinyes,
I have no idea if you read the article or the further link. But assuming you did, do you actually disagree with what I am saying? Yes! It does what Patagonia Inc wants and Ben & Jerry’s wants! And what Soros wants. Fancy that. Infowars doesn’t say that Soros, AMONGST OTHERS, donates to this organization. It says Soros FUNDS it. If you want to claim that there is nothing odd about that formulation or that Infowars wants to give a particular spin to the claim that you agree with–that is your right. I don’t happen to agree with you.

I love it when people quibble over the semantics.
Especially stupid semantic quibbles.
Fund: Verb, to allocate or provide funds for (A program, project, etc)
Donate: Verb, to make a gift, grant, or contribution
The Tides Foundation, funded primarily by generous donations from George Soros, funded Refuse Fascism via a donation of fifty odd thousand dollars.
So, at a one step remove, George Soros funded Refuse Fascism with a donation of money.
That’s a much more direct connection than Trump’s connection to Whitefish, which was somehow super important?
Comment by aerinyes — November 4, 2017 @ 12:25 am - November 4, 2017
@ aerinyes: YES!! thank you…this is the problem with many people today: the meaning of words is only important when the idea is important to them…for Cas, it seems that to donate stands for benevolence, while to fund stands for some sort of controlling interest. However, both words have to do with giving money to a specific cause…so whether or not the donor/funder is in charge of the organization, they agree with its statements, policies, and actions…I mean, isn’t this what the left tells us about what is happening in Hollywood? Isn’t it what they tell us about Trumps supposed support of white supremacy? Isn’t it the type of argument they use to say all white men are privileged racists? So, if they can use their semantic arguments to justify their lies, why can’t we say that the fact that Soros donates OR funds Antifa means he is complicit in the organization’s actions and beliefs? Seems reasonable to me.
