And The Verbal Part Of The Civil War Begins

With the election of Donald Trump, the US right let its id off the leash. Now pretty much everything conservatives have thought but not said is finding its way to Facebook, Twitter, and the evening news.

So it’s no surprise that the left, wildly envious of conservatives’ newfound rhetorical freedom, have decided that what’s good for the misogynist pig is great for the crazed socialist. From today’s Wall Street Journal:

Democrats Contend With the ‘Anger Translator’

Nancy Pelosi will have a hard time keeping the ultraprogressives in her caucus quiet.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2015 included an ingenious skit featuring President Obama and the comedian Keegan-Michael Key. As Mr. Obama stood at a lectern offering vapid pleasantries about White House press coverage, his “anger translator,” portrayed by Mr. Key, lurked behind him acting out what the president was really thinking.

Today, Democrats keep their “anger translators” in-house, among the progressive members of the 116th Congress sworn in last week. Already we’ve heard Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the freshman Democrat from Michigan, announce with an obscenity that her caucus is dead-set on impeaching President Trump. Next came Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, laying out the new House majority’s ambitious agenda—universal health care, free college tuition, a Green New Deal to combat climate change—in an interview with Anderson Cooper that aired Sunday on “60 Minutes.”

There have been some halfhearted attempts by Democratic leaders to distance themselves from Ms. Tlaib’s remarks and Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s plans, but the reality is that both women are expressing views that fall well within the party mainstream. Dutifully, they’re trying to mollify the “resistance” while Democratic leaders appeal to more-moderate and independent voters.

Sure, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has insisted that Democrats are focused on health care and infrastructure, and not on running the president out of the Oval Office. She even spurned a request from Ms. Ocasio-Cortez to establish a House committee tasked specifically with advancing the freshman lawmaker’s green agenda. But these disagreements are over tactics, not objectives. The speaker and the freshmen remain united in their desire, among other things, to impose single-payer health care, increase environmental regulations and, yes, impeach Mr. Trump. There’s little difference between Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s progressive cri de coeur and the campaign platforms of Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other Democratic presidential wannabes.

It was Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s response Sunday to a question about marginal income-tax rates that received the most attention. When Mr. Cooper asked her if she had a specific tax rate in mind, the congresswoman replied: “You look at our tax rates back in the ’60s, and when you have a progressive tax rate system . . . sometimes you see tax rates as high as 60 or 70%.”

The Wall Street Journal reporter continues for several more paragraphs pedantically explaining why lower tax rates actually generate more revenue for government — thus completely missing the point, which is that we’re finally going to see what both ends of the political spectrum really think.

For, well, forever, the major political parties have calculated that they’ll hold their rock solid 35% of the electorate no matter what, and to win they need to capture moderates numbering an additional 15.1%. So the relatively small cadre in each party who wanted to speak their minds even if it cost elections were muzzled by the somewhat larger group who wanted to win more than they wanted to tell their “truth.” The result was a (in retrospect) quaintly civil politics, with code words like “law and order” and “justice” serving to disguise the racist (in the first case) and collectivist (in the second) policies being sold to the unsuspecting middle with a knowing wink to the base.

Those days are over. It’s now okay to call immigrants “bad hombres” and “rapists,” and also to refer to the head of the Republican party as a “motherfucker” and propose a 70% marginal tax rate on the evil rich. The gloves are off. The dogs have slipped the leash. The verbal stage of the coming civil war has begun.

Why now? Well, it’s at least an interesting coincidence that the political system is spinning out of control at a time when the government’s official debt has doubled in two consecutive administrations and is now accelerating from there. And at a time when interest rates have been cut to levels that make it impossible for small savers to generate much of anything on their savings. And at a time when “jobs growth” has come to mean people taking on second and third minimum wage part-time “gigs” — and still not being able to support their families.

Sound money advocates might blame Richard Nixon’s 1971 decision to take the world off the gold standard and thus usher in history’s greatest debt binge. And they’d be right. Tech-skeptics might point to social media’s amplification of the darkest impulses of previously isolated crazies. They’re also right. Liberals might see increasing corporate control of banking and media alienating and confusing the masses. Right. And conservatives might see the ever-expanding welfare/entitlements state crushing the old civic society in which people instead of bureaucrats looked out for each other. True. All true.

Add these and a few other negative feedback loops together, and you get a societal breakdown that’s being reflected on big screens and small. The coming election will be unique in terms of invective (though probably not in terms of feasible policy ideas). What now looks like 20 or so mostly far-left Democrats will spend their primary being rewarded by their base for creatively insulting Trump, who will gleefully come back with “thoughts” on would-be opponents’ looks and sanity. Fun times!

And this is just the third or so inning of a game that will get a lot uglier before we come to our senses.

  1. Opportunity never knocks the door twice, It really is important to make complete utilization of the opportunity. A job which gives you full liberty to work from home. Job which is internet based and you just have to give a small amount of time into the work. It is not like cons you will see on website that claims to make you rich and later turned out to be some fraud selling schemes. It is really real and reliable. You can easily start and it also get you excellent earning. Be your own boss and devote a lot more precious time with your loved ones and get almost $39000 per 30 days. It is time for you to take a look at this opportunity and change your life forever >>>>>>>>>>>>> https://bit.ly/2MjmCcG

  2. History shows two critical things about the Russian revolution.
    First, the Bolsheviks used the Latvians as their main attack dogs. The Latvians held a previous grudge.Second, the majority of the power Bolsheviks soon came from a small minority Russian grouping. So, how would the same work out for the USA??

  3. Don’t forget the Republicans moved US companies to China. Republican contractors brought/bring in the Mexicans. Republicans attack Social Security and Medicare. (Democrats support Medicaid.) Republicans started Middle East War.
    Message: Don’t call the kettle black.

  4. France hyperinflation: 1790-1797
    Napoleon comes to power: 1799

    German hyperinflation: 1921-1923
    Hitler comes to power: 1933

  5. As I say, Democrats should get down on their knees and pray for the soul of Richard Nixon, if for no other reason than that he made their runaway welfare state possible.

  6. It does appear as though a violent civil war is the only way to solve this problem. Too bad the democrat voters have sided with the criminal government and are willing and happy to do their bidding for them.

    Trump is an Soviet Israel puppet, but that’s no excuse for allowing illegal immigrants (aka undocumented democrats) to flood the country…..

    F**k ’em all, let’s get to it. We’ve waited long enough.

  7. Making the true and factual observation that “bad hombres” do come across the southern border as “immigrants” is racist?? ROFLMAO It was a decent enough article until I got to that idiotic, SJW, “dog whistle” tripe.

  8. “And this is just the third or so inning of a game that will get a lot uglier before we come to our senses.”
    What inning is Cuba in? Venezuela? Why haven’t they came to their senses?
    The sad fact is the vast majority of mankind, for the vast majority of human history, have lived under totalitarian systems. It is the natural (sad) state of mankind.
    The US has been the major exception, but we are simply regressing to the mean.

    1. They did finally come to their senses, but far,far too late. The citizens had their guns seized early on so they could never offer any real resistance to the socialist/communist ruler jackals. The lesson here in the US is to not ever, ever, ever give up your firearms & ammo. Ever. An armed populace is the only thing that will ultimately hold back a socialist iron grip on this nation. Voting sorta, kinda works for now but even that has now been relegated to the brazen voter fraud as evidenced in California with schemes like the “voter harvesting”.

      1. I guess there is a distinction from “come to there senses” and “be able to do anything about it.”

        The 2nd Amendment was intended to guarantee the rest. The Establishment hates it; it is the DNA of all tyrants to want the Deplorables disarmed.

        I live in CA, a round up of firearms is on the horizon. Virtually none of those in Sacramento would vote against it, if they had a secret ballot.

      2. Ever hear of “Red Flag Laws”? The greatest threat to our Constitutional way of life since the Revolutionary War.

  9. If people don’t understand that socialism has been part and parcel of this country for decades, then they don’t know socialism. Welfare, social security and the public education systems could not exist without at least a hard nod to socialism. Add to that the debasement of our currency and the transfer of our wealth to other nations, and we get a total surrender of the American ideals that our founders based our nation on.

    1. If you are not buying gold or silver right now, good luck. I buy silver twice a month. The price is already inching up. Within a few years it will be thru the roof.

          1. Gold coins ? Ditto, how to propose to exhange them when things are bad ?
            Buy guns. Guns maintain value better than gold. And guns can protect you from the hordes.

          2. You are correct. I have been buying those also. It’s more the ammo part tho. I have only two arms. You will need something to barter with. Gold and silver will be two things that will get you anything. Cigarettes, gasoline, also will be very high on the demand list.

  10. The Democratic Party is now openly and unabashedly Socialist/Communist. Any reading of history will demonstrate that it is impossible to negotiate with Communists. There is only one way to deal with them and that is through the force of arms. When the Bolsheviks took over power in Russia, they did it at the point of a gun and Mao did the same in China and right down the line ever since. Anyone who thinks that the Communists who now call themselves ” Democrats ” are going to accept elections where their opposition could win are living in a fools paradise. We are now in the opening stages of a Civil War and it is now just a question of time before it erupts. The lines have been drawn and there is not going to be any reconciliation until one side or the other is the victor at the point of a gun.

    1. Who took power back from a Socialist/Communist regime? Poland, sort of?
      The USSR just changed the names of the thugs in charge. That is what usually happens–no real change in system, just change in the rulers.
      The US Revolution is unique in that the leaders of the Revolution didn’t seek to become the replacement for the King.
      Trump is our last gasp. The Establishment will rule (totally) from here on out.

    2. Finally, someone who gets it. I agree 100%. We are where we are today, because most of those on our side thought you could reason with the Democrats, and most are finally waking up.

    3. I don’t know if it’s true, but I suspect more “republicans”have guns and ammo than “democrats.” “Dems”/communists seem to want the way things are trending and so probably don’t see a threat because they think they’re getting what they want. It’s people like us who understand the implications and consequences who will be defending ourselves and meeting our needs – and, yes, probably having to kill “the leaders” to end it.

      1. Democrats pay for their security personnel (hired guns) with out tax dollars…Touch a filthy gun…never…They don’t want you to have guns (protection from?) and of course they just pay a professional to take care of their security needs.Let’s just hope that those that do the “carry the guns for them” understand who and what they are protecting..

        1. Good points, but I was referring to “regular” Americans who would engage in a civil war. Just storming Washington and the state capitals to ferret out government swamp creatures is more like a reverse coup or “second American revolution,” which is not what I would call a civil war.

          1. Achievement meets those who consistently work hard and in a smart way and utilise opportunity in a proper manner. A job that is online and provides you enough time to spend with your family and you can generate approximately $37000 every month. Easy and simple job where you do not need any kind of technical knowledge. It really is real and authentic and in no way like any fakes you find all over the web. You will need to spend couple of hrs and can earn a very good money. Dream big and be an achiever. Pay a visit to this excellent online based work without any delay.>>>>>>>> https://ynusava.tumblr.com

  11. emigrate while you still can?

    Look, Americans have been doing 1 thing politically for the last 20 years or so.

    they’ve been choosing up sides.

    America has been in decline for a long time. President Trump won’t be able to stop that and he definitely didn’t start it. he IS retarding it, however..as best he can.

    Unfortunately, people like Paul Ryan have held the reins of power for far too long and he would do anything to remove Trump from office.
    The same thing goes for the entire democratic party. They hate Trump to the last man. They have also had the last 20 years to infiltrate the government.

    We WILL, however, fix our problems, one way or another.

    Emigrate? I assure you that there is no where on the planet that will be unaffected should America fall.
    as America goes, so goes the entire world to some degree.

    me? I’m an American. I was born here, here I’ll stay.

    You can run if you want to. but don’t come back if you do. remember your choice and remember how you ran out on the people you called your countrymen when times got bad. don’t come back when times get better.

    if you go? stay gone.

    1. The problem is that the Establishment (aka the Swamp) is non-partisan. Red Team, Blue Team, same league. They swap seats from time to time, but they remain.
      The US is at that awkward stage: too late to work within the system, too soon to start shooting the bastards.

      1. Our forefathers would have been shooting long ago. The modern day Democrat is way past England of the 1600’s.

        1. Modern day Dem-publicans you mean. look at the “bipartisan” red flag bill Rubio and Collins have brought before the Senate!! Republicans are worse than Dems because they run on “conservative platforms” so we take our eye off them, then they force through/ vote for a whole bunch of stuff we never wanted without us noticing.

          1.

    2. Glad there are those of us willing to stand and fight. Pray and prepare instead of emigrating. You’re right, if the US gov’t falls, there’s nowhere I can think of I’d rather be. @@lichau:disqus is right, it’s too late to change the system and too soon to fight. But it’s the right time to prepare! Things to do now while you can: stock up on and train with your defensive systems, stock up on food and anything you can barter with that has shelf-life (silver comes to mind), know who in your neighborhood would be an ally and who would be an enemy. Read a book titled Patriots by Rawles. It’s more of an instructional manual than a novel.
