Political Systems and the Differences Between Them
« on: August 23, 2021, 12:42:10 PM »
The below quote came from the "Lightning Round" hosted by Bill Whittle and Steve Green, along with Scott Ott, and published earlier today.

The quote came from an entity known as "Active Commercial Tech Systems (ACTS) who is a regular commenter on Bill Whittle's site.

A worthwhile read, and accurate.

There are now two predominant political systems in the United States. There’s the system that identifies, recognizes and addresses issues related to and influenceable by government and there’s the system that tries to find issues that can be exploited to gain power. The former being conservatives and the latter being Leftists.

It’s important to note that the labels “conservative” and “Leftist” are needful distinctions. It’s not “conservatives vs. liberals”, “uneducated curmudgeons vs. progressives” or even “Republicans vs. Democrats”. Real liberals are not leftists, don’t cede that semantic high ground to the Left. There’s nothing progressive about progressives. Likewise not all Republicans are conservatives and not all Democrats are Leftists. It’s true that the Left has usurped control of the Democrat Party and is in the process of destroying it along with the country but not all Democrats are Leftists.

The reason that makes a difference is if you’re talking to a Democrat and you assume they’re also Leftist you’re talking at cross purposes. What you’re sending isn’t what they’re receiving. Very few Democrats are actual Leftists, most are Democrats for a myriad of other reasons. They support the Democrat Party because they’re Democrats, not because the Democrat Party reflects their wishes and opinions.

Wanna know a dirty little secret? Most Democrats are conservatives by the modern understanding of that word. That’s the weakness of the Democrat Party. If you can point out to a Democrat that they do in fact side with more conservative views, that Leftist views are untenable and unrealistic, you can convert them to vote conservative.

I.E.–

“Oh, hey, you voted Democrat, right?”
“Well yes, I did. What’s it to you?”
“I’d just like to know how you can vote for allowing deviant men into little girls restrooms. How can you be so anti-feminist as to force the devastation of actual women in sporting events, where many women used to be empowered, by allowing physiological men to compete against and defeat them? Why do you think it’s OK to be such a racist that you would advocate a position whereby anyone who’s not white is too stupid to grasp mathematics? Why did you vote to abandon and imperil thousands and thousands of Americans in Afghanistan? How can you support Critical Race Theory with all the enthusiasm of your fellow Ku Klux Klan members? What? You’re not a Klan member? Then why are you voting like one?”

Etc.

You’ll find that the vast majority of Democrat voters do not like any of that. They just need it pointed out to them in a way that makes them realize that the Democrat Party has abandoned their best interests for the sake of grabbing power. If you do that, they’ll wake up and take back their party and while that does not guarantee a Republican hegemony, it moves the country back to the right direction. Which is what is actually important. This isn’t a high school football team and rah, rah rah for our side. It’s a nation that badly needs a course correction.

Not sure if you can see this. I'm a subscriber to Bill Whittle's site so it's visible to me, but it may not be visible to you.
