Anti-Trumpism Has Turned Liberals Into CIA-Cheerleading, Finger-Wagging Nerds

noise said:
I can count on one hand the true comedians who use their gift to punch up to real power while late night megastars like Bill Maher rake in millions of dollars advancing blatant war psyops.
Eminem raps about how much he loves the US military, how great Obama and John McCain are, and how badly Trump “tormented” and “slandered” Hillary Clinton during the election.

The spark has gone out from the eyes of the starry-eyed artists. The sincere impulse to apprehend the soul of the universe which drove them to create beauty has been snuffed out and replaced with stock portfolios and vapid award ceremonies. In the places where we used to look for truth and light we now find a bunch of stuffy millionaires cheerleading for the CIA and the new cold war. They are McCarthyists and conformists. They are amazingly uncool.

And so are the liberals who conform to the same worldview. Nobody with a hunger for truth and light will be drawn to the crowd that is wearing matching pussyhats and accusing people of treason through pursed-lips. Liberals are forcibly alienating that esthetic spark which gives rise to culture. And culture is upstream from politics.

This is not sustainable. The worldview being sold by the liberal Democratic establishment is inherently ugly and uninspiring. I’ve worked jobs as a graphic designer where I had to polish a turd for a paycheck, so I know what it’s like. You show up, you do your best, but if it doesn’t inspire the best you’ll wind up with is “I wish they’d Pokemon Go to the polls.” A whole team came up with that joke. A whole team of highly paid staffers.

During the Bernie campaign we saw the exact opposite of “Pokemon Go to the polls”. We saw hundreds of thousands of people acting from inspiration, creating memes, creating art, writing passionate essays, sharing powerful ideas. We saw the same thing happening on the other side, with the naughty boys on 4chan and The_Donald pouring out memes, songs and raw passion for their guy. It was fun. It pissed off their parents. It was cool.

Then “Pokemon Go to the polls” sabotaged Bernie, and the cartoon frog kids won the election.


Someone’s going to have to find an answer to the passion, enthusiasm and inspiration of the young conservatives, or they’re going to win the culture war.
I’ve voiced some criticisms of Bernie Sanders, but the passion and inspiration of those who uplifted him was undeniably real. That energy is sustainable. Right now it’s kind of stagnated, diffused between reluctant support of the Dem establishment and “fuck this” DemExiteering, swirling in eddies around anti-Trumpism, corporate protest marches, chaotic counter-protests, and various movements to topple the Democratic party’s hegemony. But it could be unified again, just as it was unified behind Sanders.

That’s what really scares the elites who are choking America to death. Not Sanders; they were never worried about him. What they were deathly afraid of was the unified surge of genuine inspiration and enthusiasm, which they cannot possibly hope to emulate even with all the “Pokemon Go to the polls” campaign writers in the world. That was what they really sabotaged. If the left can find a way to shake off the pussyhat-shaped brain box the establishment has it locked in today, that genuine movement will surge forth and take over.

And then maybe we’ll start seeing the spark return to the eyes of the artists we used to love.

Maybe you missed this, but nearly the entire country and much of the world are against Trump .. outside of his 30% support.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Trump is the enemy.

this is about much more then poll numbers good brother.
I could claim the rotten numbers are partially because of the bogus "Russians hacked the election" and bogus Steele dossier/FBI..

The Dems :
a bunch of stuffy millionaires cheerleading for the CIA and the new cold war. They are McCarthyists and conformists. They are amazingly uncool.

The bolded is a bogus talking point. Trump was its LEADER - and he's President now.

The birther movement extends to everyone on the right & in the GOP who tried to make Obama "not American" in some way, whether it was always using "Hussein" or the whisper campaigns about him being a Muslim or some other "other." I won't have this history rewritten like all of the rest - Obstructionism was the stated cause of Congress, per McConnell, and Obama was undermined every step of the way in his Presidency.

It comes w/ the territory, but enough of this portrayal of the left like they're doing ANYTHING different from what the right did for 8 years. Your lies & misrepresentations only resonate w/ others who are currently under the spell.

the birthers were fringe. No way was it part of the MS Republicans.
Yes there was obstructionism(legitimate if vile), but obstructionism didn't yield Steele Dossier Clinton collusion with the Russian FSB and complete de-legitimations charge by the entire Democratic party.

I'll have to remember that from you & Darth: there must be a dossier of some sort for their to be any organized effort to undermine a Presidency.

Under the spell.

61% of trump voters think Obama wasnt born in the US. trumpsters are a special kind of stupid and 61% isnt fringe.
 
Isn't it true that all of Mueller's indictments so far have been related to events that took place outside the Trump campaign?

Didn't Paul Manafort work for the Podesta Group for years?

Aren't there some questions about the Podesta Group's Russian ties?

The birther movement is still fringe whether Trump was behind or not. If I might refresh your memory, Trump was a fringe political actor at the time.

There just isn’t a comparison between that and what Trump has been subjected to. There just isn’t.

Is it wrong to doubt the bona fides of a proven liar like B. Hussein Obama?

Can you prove conclusively that Obama was born where he says he was?

What percentage of Hillary voters thought she was the best-qualified candidate to ever seek the office?

Were you among them?

61% isn't Fringe. When Trump went birther he understood the racists that are his demographic

Trump can take it, and little Thingy and the Clinton crybabies can't.

That's the difference.

His frequent feminine hand-wringing is the most enjoyable thing about this forum for my money.

I now anticipate joyously his emotionally-charged responses. I expect he will accuse me of "defending the GOP". :rofl2:

ROFL..it's 1 poll back in 2015..among other 'results'

Notes on candidates who aren’t Trump:

-Ben Carson is easily the most popular candidate in the field with a 68/14 favorability rating. The closest anyone else comes to that is Marco Rubio at 58/24. Carson is also the most frequent second choice of GOP voters at 13%. And he’s the only Republican who would win a head to head showdown with Trump, 49/43. Among candidates with meaningful support, only Mike Huckabee’s supporters would go to Trump in a head to head with Carson.

-Besides Trump and Carson the other candidates with momentum compared to our late July national poll are Carly Fiorina and John Kasich. :toilet:

Even if I accept that figure, the leftist talking heads in the media scoffed at the birther movement. Pretty much every criticism of Obama was deemed ‘racist’ and the birther movement was no exception. But the same leftist idiots will run ANY negative story about Trump—-even from anonymous sources.

And encourage the democrats in your district to run on the ‘Trump supporters are racists’ bit.

Please and thanks.

You know, just repeating the bolded doesn't make it true.

Trump is President. No way around that one.
