Nuthin' but the truth
I've been noticing a trend on political debate message boards over the past 8 years or longer...And It's a shift from actually debating a policy, or issue, to simply what I call, "agree or die"....There's been a strange transformation on the left in recent years, as its rhetoric has turned from championing real issues to bashing the right and salivating over putting Donald Trump and his associates in prison. snip The left is trying to deflect and avoid real debates by tarnishing the right with lawfare since the left now dominates the legal system. When you can get a judge to twist the jury instructions, disallow legitimate evidence and witnesses based on bogus excuses and skew the jury pool by refusing to transfer the case outside of a heavily Democratic area like Washington, D.C., you can ensure victories every time. snip Destroy the right's arguments by creating the illusion they are so bad their opinions should be illegal. The judges all go along with it, because as I've written previously, they are terrified of having their pristine, mostly behind-the-scenes reputations destroyed and their families harassed in public. snip
The Democrats have successfully implemented radical Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals," diverting attention from real political issues to destroying their political opponents with character assassinations. Since the average American doesn't have time to figure out the complex legal issues involved, they're getting away with it, as their comrades in the MSM hype up the caricatures of conservative leaders as traitors.
It's not easy, but the right is going to have to figure out how to stop this transformation of political debate. The left's politics: Barely disguised fascist tactics | WND | by Rachel Alexander
The liberal, or 'illiberal' if you will, left has turned things on their head, by either ignoring anything inconvenient to their positions, to outright attack of their political opponents....Which means that the marketplace of ideas has failed....
Don't believe me? take a look at any topic in this particular message board....within the first page, if not the first couple of postings, the debate is over, and the name calling, or worse begins...These are tactics of fascists....That's right, democrats have embraced fascism, even as they dishonestly try and label their political opponents of the very same....
The question of this thread, which I am sure will be devolved into name calling, and lies about one side or another, which will prove my point, is, can we any longer debate the facts? I don't think we can....
