Is The Left Over?

[brushfire]

The pendulum swings both ways in this game. With the republicans dominating, they'll be taking the blame or credit for whatever result is achieved.

This is a cycle that has plagued us for some time, and will continue to plague us until the system finally breaks completely.

What phill said.

This presidential election was just ridiculous. The next two scare the crap out of me.

So far, trump has only offered wild off-the-chart military and domestic spending in the midst of a currency bubble of trillions. He lays on a slab of poverty-inducing economic protectionism. The end result is going to be blamed on market capitalism. The world is the Democrats' oyster after that. And THAT will be the Literal Shakening.

 

[John F Kennedy III]

If the left continues as it has the past few years, the Republicans will increase their majorities in House and Senate in 2018 and again in 2020. They would also increase their Governors majority....and continue reddening the down ballots.

The Left is "Over" just like Republicans were "Over" when Obama won. People get tired of things so they want to change it again. The pendulum swings back and forth.

Yes, all of this does not just come from nowhere, there are roots that are also fertilized continuously... when you have younger generations that you get to feed (brainwash) earlier and earlier (digitally), then you'll never run out of people that think they are doing "good."

"If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it... In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons ... who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
- Edward Bernays


A new scientific [SOCIAL] truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
- Max Planck (Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918)

As long as there are College campuses and progressive thinkers who teach moral relativism and collective philosophy there will always be a left wing.

Truer words have not been posted on this site.

College campuses are far, far left places that all but beat any semblance of conservatism out of you, and we've been telling kids for 2 generations that they have to go to these places in order to become someone, to become enlightened; we've sown the seeds of our own destruction.

"Left" and "Right" are both just strains of the mental disorder known as Statism.

Is the left over?

The left controls the White House, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the governorships and legislatures of all 50 states in the USA.

And from what I hear from the Trumpsters on this website, every other country in the world from which anyone might immigrate here is even more liberal than this one.

We are still the best! At least for the refugees.

I think you are underestimating the swing. People are tired of this shit. They should be.

Pretty much this^^ Sorry I can't +rep, though

I think they have been sitting on their thrones so long they really can't relate to a large amount of people, relying more on the SJW and minority interest groups types. If they keep prancing forward on the same path I think they will remain a minority interest group.

They will tire of Trump too. It happens with every president.

Thank for putting things in perspective.

 

[PierzStyx]

Well, the Alt. Left just elected a controversial inexperienced President. The regular Left is all up in arms, but remember over half the voting public voted for their candidate last election. So we will have to see. I don't see any evidence the Left is in any danger though.

If that were true, then how could Trump have ever even gotten the Republican nomination?

 

[klamath]

not by a long shot. Trump didn't win a huge ground swell of support. A shift of a few thousand votes and the dems will control both houses of congress in two years.

Leftover?

This is no left/right- just elites telling constituents what they want to hear as they carry on w/the Empire.

 

[ThePaleoLibertarian]

The progressive left was always very memetically powerful but actually didn't have all that many supporters. Progs, particularly this SJW brand of neo-progressives look absolutely ridiculous to anyone who isn't already on their side. "The left" as a social force has always existed and will continue to exist, but the neo-progressives are done for in the long run.

 

[Tywysog Cymru]

The left has unleashed a monster that has been useful to them for many years, but now they are no longer able to control the monster they created. Don't be surprised if local Democratic candidates start running to the left of Bernie Sanders. This is why Republicans should run candidates in every state and every district.

The progressive left was always very memetically powerful but actually didn't have all that many supporters.

So, like the alt right?
