Genteel Republicans vs The Alt-Right
"Here's how reason works for normal people"Hey, tell me, what's two plus two?" A rational person answers "Four." But, if you're at the far Left end of the political spectrum, the answer is "The patriarchy, White privilege. Capitalism is evil. Cops are evil. Guns are evil. Most men are rapists in waiting. America is racist. And last, but not least, America is the evil empire. Not an evil empire, but "THE" evil empire. That is the granddaddy of all Leftist political causes. Now, I'm not referring to good ole fashioned democrats, who appear to be generally oblivious about what's going on. I'm referring to the new heart and soul of the democratic party." - Some unknown genius
Genteel republicans hate Donald Trump. They also hate the alt-right, a term I’ve only recently been made aware of. Apparently, because the alt-right are rude and crude, to say nothing of racist, which they are as well.
Or so they tell me.
Donald Trump, it seems, is drawing in these ruffians with his demagoguery. And that’s not good if you’re a republican. Because it will be harder to win the presidency. Better to have given Jeb his shot. Yes, another Bush was the ticket. Does it matter if George W. was run out of town on a rail, giving the win to Barack Obama, a man with so many skeletons in his closet that it was a veritable graveyard of old leftist ghosts and other anti-American forces!
For genteel republicans, I guess not.
Hell, the fact that Obama was able to win the presidency was the best evidence that the culture war was over. Once the media, along with our institutions of lower and higher learning, along with the corporate elites were in the bag, we should’ve just surrendered.
But a movement started with the Tea Party, whose righteousness was evident by the vitriolic way in which the mainstream went after them. That alone, gave them street cred. Genteel republicans, however, were so busy being genteel that they wouldn’t even talk about Obama’s past life as a red diaper baby and a communist agitator with deep Islamic sympathies.
I mean, if you can’t beat that in America, what can you beat?
So the battleground shifted, and the alt-right (whatever that actually means) hit the ground running.
The left had been trolling the right for decades, while genteel republicans remained genteel. This new generation of righteous righties were having none of it, though, and leaped into the fray, plunging deep into the dirt, where the left resides like a malignant bacterial strain—and they began to use the same tactics. It was a guerrilla war, an ideological Vietnam, one where the old rules, which only republicans played by, were no longer viable.
Unfortunately, those genteel republicans still didn’t geI it.
This new generation of righteous righties, however, see with a clear vision what’s at stake. America will be won or lost here, in the mud and the blood and the beer. Brass knuckles and homemade shanks laced with poisonous verbal tirades, these are the weapons of choice. And either you get on board, pick up a blade and fight back, or give up now and take up your place as a member of the "New Right," standing firmly left of center, as is the case throughout most of Europe.
That is what genteel republicans are offering; a slow, painless death, with the inevitable destruction of the culture that we know and love. Just think about it, this is America’s opportunity to become a leftist controlled, global paradise of high taxes, higher unemployment, crime, urban decay, racial polarization, murderous terrorism and schools that are unfit for a well-heeled dog. This is precisely what we already see, wherever the left is in control.
If that’s what you want, vote for the status quo, or don’t vote at all.
Otherwise, vote Trump.
