Why the Resistance is futile
2018-06-25
[DONSURBER.BLOGSPOT] So let me explain why the Resistance
That'd be the Hezbullies, but in the U.S. it's used by anti-Trumplings...
is futile.

1. The Resistance comes from the top down. The Tea Party was more organic, less organized, and seemed more sincere.

2. The celebrities are not helping the Resistance in part because of all the baggage they carry. Maybe it is just me, but I laugh when an actress who shed her clothes in a film complains that the President Trump used the P-word. Indeed, the all-too casual use of vulgarity undermines the message.

3. The attacks are personal. Yes, the Tea Party did attack Obama (every president endures that to some extent) but the protesters eight years ago also has an issue: the fear of nationalized health care. What is the issue besides the way President Trump looks?

4. The focus is not on any issue. The Resistance simply is against everything President Trump does. He figured out more than a year ago how to work this to his advantage. The Resistance now opposes tax cuts, a booming economy, and peace in Korea. The Resistance also now supports MS-13, open borders, and Kim Pudge Jong-un
...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished...
5. President Trump has proved them wrong. He is not Hitler. In no way, shape, or form is he. The pile of profane pejoratives is staggering. Calling him a cock holster and his daughter the C-word on national television makes him the victim, and totally blows away any argument that he is a despot because if he were both Stephen Colbert and Samantha Bee would be pushing up daisies.

6. The Tea Party was American. The Resistance was French.

Alas, as part of the Resistance, the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

cannot look at their position objectively. The Times staff is setting itself up for an unpleasant November Surprise -- again.
