If the Left could see measure themselves against their accusations of Trump supporters, they might be shocked.
It's classic Olinsky - the false accusation of the opposition of things the accusers are themselves guilty of.
I doubt, however, that even half the people protesting against Trump even know who Saul Olinsky was. Of those who do, probably most of them have never even read his book Rules for Radicals. Even most of those who own a copy mostly carry it around as a virtue signalling accessory, to let their less clueless bruvvas and sistahs know they're down with the cause. But this rule is part of the book - part of the folklore of revolution, and it plays out in a textbook style almost every publicised time.
You see a crowd of Hillarity supporters rioting - you know well that the mouthpieces of the Left, the Washington Post and the New York Onion (previously the NY Times), are going to start accusing Trump supporters of the same. That there is no credible evidence - or, if there is, that there's a reasonably humanoid Hillarity supporter in Trump clothing doing its thing - is of little concern to these presstitutes. You hear of Hillarity's misdemeanours (if you like) reported via WikiLeaks and, lo and behold, there's a story of Trump doing something similar.
And remember that Leftist schtick about Trump accepting the election result?
Now the Left is trying to get at the Electoral College system. They are trying, first, to say that the election result on the popular vote gives it to the Democrats. There are three problems with this: firstly although, for a while, there was a voter difference favouring Hillarity for a while, there were reports that, once the final three states declared, Trump got the popular vote too, by a margin of some seven hundred thousand votes - 62.2 million for Hillarity as against 62.9 million for Trump, giving him about 303 Electoral Votes: close, Hillarity but - ahem - no cigar. Then, when you factor in second problem, around three million dead "voters" and approximately three million illegal voters, the latter of whom were sanctioned by Obama: then Trump's win is decisive. The third problem is that the Electoral College system is the one used to fight the election. If it needed changing, then it would have been fair to change it outside of the electoral cycle, such as just after a new president has been sworn into office. Even then, it would be the height of skulduggery to use that change to then influence the election that preceded the change: retroactive legislation is always a problem.
Secondly, others - not necessarily on the Left, for the President Elect has drawn ire from within his own party platform too - are trying to block Trump's path to the WhiteHouse by having the Electoral College select a surrogate, a Hamilton Candidate. There is, apparently, provision for this in the Constitution such that processes could be put in play to prevent unsuitable candidates from assuming office. It's unclear, however, what makes Trump unsuitable: unconventional, certainly, but unsuitable? The reasons I have heard range from hearsay to slander, including that Trump had the support of the KKK - even though he didn't solicit such support, nor is the admiration reciprocated - and that the Alt Right, such as it can be clearly defined and which supported Trump, is said to be a white supremacy movement, when it is nothing of the sort. Then there are the usual ad-hominems which are either unproven, unproven or debunked all.
Clearly a surrogate would be unfair and undemocratic. The people voted on the candidates chosen in the Primaries by, in the case of Donald Trump at least, entirely fair means. If, then, the chosen candidate and his policies are rejected at the eleventh hour by faithless, against-party electors, at the behest of some undemocratic fool, then the election is a farce.
And whither the "greatest, freest country in the world" then?
What do you think? Are the Left the victims or the villains in this? Should they be vaunted or vilified? Comment below, and don't forget to like and share this article as you will.
