Democrats Play the Long-Game (1 Viewer)

[Steve R.]

Democrats know how to play the long game, even if we perceive it to be bizarre. I've already discussed how the Democrats appear to be using unemployment benefits to create a temporary ersatz "Universal Basic Income". Once those unemployment benefits run-out, the Democratic hope is that the public will demand that if be continued on a permanent basis. Candice Owens, has her own Democratic long-game, she suggests that the Democrats are instituting the "war" against the police to incite the public into demanding that a federal police force be established to solve the crime problem since the local police obviously can't handle the situation (sarcasm).

Steve,

Had a discussion tonight with Dad and the restaurant owner about liberal policies and ideals being spread from big cities on the coasts inward in the United states. He was saying that he watched an interview with 10 CEOs of large companies and they said that they could get very cheap labor from people in places like Florida where the workers are willing to take a 10% pay cut to move to and work from those places so they don't have to pay liberal taxes and put up with liberal nonsense and stupidity.

On a side note to that, the restaurant owner said that Vladimir Putin, in his summit with Joe biden, made a remark about the black lives matter movement and he said on national tv, apparently, that he doesn't want a BLM problem in his country. The restaurant owner was laughing his ass off to us because he stated that he was unaware that any political figure the world over could get away with saying something like that on national television and not get shot. But then again, George Floyd was not a Russian.

As a follow-up to my comment on big cities and liberals stupidity, the workers of these companies were also saying that they would move to places like Florida because they didn't want to deal with the crime and homelessness found in the big cities where they were currently working. I've got stories to know end about homelessness and the types of stuff that can come out of those places with regard to that lifestyle, the police and what they do about them, and what kind of stuff is born out of that behavior.

@conception_native_0123: Your posts reminded me of several concerns. I modified the title of this thread to be broader, more inclusive. Democrats know how to play the long-game. Both the student loan crises and the housing bubble are additional examples of the Democrats establishing federal programs ostensibly to help the disadvantaged, but in reality are "crises in waiting" as they do not make economic sense and will fail. This will sound callous, but the Democrats want a lot of human suffering so that they can present themselves as "saviors".

Rahm Emanuel popularized the saying: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” These programs, in my opinion were created knowing that they would fail so that a crises would ensue. The solution of course: BIG government. The video by Candace Owens, is a further example of this process. Don't solve the problem of law and order locally, but claim that federal intervention is needed to "solve" the problem.

Our current immigration crises is another example of the Democrats creating a problem with extensive human suffering. Illegal Immigration was "solved" under the Reagan administration through the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Both the Democrats and Repluicans failed to fully implement this legislation. Nevertheless, as we approach recent history the Democrats have totally abandoned implementing this law and now unbelievably claim that immigration reform is needed, a very disingenuous argument. Evidendently enforcing the law is an unknown concept for Democrats. Since taking office in January, the Biden administration has opened the border. As such, it would seen that Biden/Harris are performing impeachable acts by not enforcing the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Consider that Biden/Harris are also guilty of human trafficking and child abuse.

I really can't argue with you there Steve, on any point really. Nice post

their long games are many:

• education
• immigration
• slowly eroding the previously undisputed concepts of total and absolute fidelity to things like:
  • Supreme Court
  • Constitution ("its old, its outdated, it was never right", etc)
  • Electoral college (hoping to give urban voters a better advantage)
  • States Rights (although I blame the Supreme Court for permanently destroying that through the commerce clause)
• framing an entire political party + half the country as inherently racist, etc - slow and steady
• gaining control of all major media except fox

and most importantly, rearing up the average American (slowly, over generations) to actually believe that they do not own the consequences of their own personal choices; rather, all their failures or comparative underachievement are someone else's fault - and the Democrats are the Savior. bigger government ensues, which means more Democrat power.

Sometimes, the root cause is simple: People seek power for power's sake. "That government which governs best is that which governs least" --along with most other original principles of America's founding -- just don't work out for those seeking to ever increase their power.

@Isaac what makes you so sure they won't capture Fox News as well?

@Isaac what makes you so sure they won't capture Fox News as well?

I am not at all sure, we "can only hope and pray", as my Grandma used to say.

Even if Murdoch one day just threw up his hands and caved, "Thats it, I'm done, going to buy an island and live on it", and sold to the highest bidder - Zucker - you have to follow the $. Why would Zucker give up the most successful ($$$) news channel in the United States?

But I suppose he could be more nefarious and change it ever-so-slowly, so conservatives think they were on their side, but subtly influenced away. Hopefully, they never read this post. At least, until the persecution of conservative Christians becomes more open; at that point I expect all my posts to be gone through anyway.

How stupid does that make the Republicans in Congress for going along with the joke? If they weren't such feckless pieces of dog shit we wouldn't be in this mess now.

Regarding immigration. The solution is of course to enforce the law. However neither party actually wants a "solution" each for their own reasons. Who cares what's best for the citizens who are hurt by these evil policies. And I do mean evil. It is evil to make laws you have no intention of enforcing or will enforce selectively.

Channeling "Atlas Shrugged", are we?

 

[Pat Hartman]

Atlas Shrugged opened my eyes to the evils of Socialism very early in my life. I read it in high school. However, it is only recently that I have come to believe that my elected officials are not merely incompetent but actually evil.

 

[NauticalGent]

Agreed. But I don't think of evil in the way that most folks would. The stereotypical maniacal laughter and rubbing of hands. Rather the "I know what's best" or the inherent compulsion of wanting to stay in power at all costs.

Both sides of the aisle have sold out and been asleep at the wheel for quite some time but the gravy train still runs so everyone turns a blind eye. I'm just as quilty - even more so. I profess to see the man behind the curtain but I do nothing about it nor do I reject the benefits. I award myself NO points and may God have mercy on my soul...

Speaking of the "gravy train", I love Hunter's new scam. I can't believe no one ever thought of it before. The scam is even being protected because the Feds are helping him hide the buyers because God forbid, the public should know who is contributing to the Biden machine. One door closes and another opens. Hunter can't fly on AF2 around the world to shake down heads of states. Now he just sits around and draws pictures. Joe has been selling access since he was the junior Senator from Delaware but now instead of credit card companies lining the pockets of the Biden family, we're allowing art "connoisseurs" to do it

Doesn't anyone care about the damaging evidence found on Hunter's abandoned laptop? For years he complained about paying the bills for the big man as well as the rest of the family. Isn't this illegal? Aren't there tax implications if I pay all bills for my daughter and granddaughters? Don't we have limits on what you can just give to someone? No wonder Joe could afford such expensive houses on a Senator's salary. Maybe we pay Senators too much.

they will NEVER read it. trust me. they have better things to do. and the persecution of conservative christians is already happening. it's everywhere. it's just not rule breaking.

 

[Jon]

Now he just sits around and draws pictures.

He must be pretty good if his new career has netted him $500K dollars for his paintings, or whatever it was. His talent at business and art knows no bounds. It's a shame he cannot show his father his work, due to shielding him from all his business dealings.

I've noticed that the Americans on these forums seem to support either republican or democrat parties.

I've also noticed that whoever the president is, the Americans here never seem happy with them. (Unless of course you are totally in love with Orangeman like some here are)
My question is, is there anybody eligible who can make Yanks say 'he (or she) is a good president?

Or have we got to have these insane USA political posts nobody understands or cares about for ever more?

People care , col. Thats why they are being posted.

I suppose that's why Americans send their sons or daughters to Washington to smash up congress building, ignore the Covid pandemic distancing and masks, and generally show no care or respect for the welfare of others.

You have always seemed to me like you have a serious disdain for Americans in general. I'm not saying anything about you my friend, I'm just saying that that's what it's always seemed like based on all of your comments I've ever read.
