Discussion: Republicans Seize On Stoking Fears Of Left-Leaning Mob To Mobilize Voters

Do I take my purse when I am going out to be part of the mob or do I leave it at home and carry my ID and credit card in a pocket?

The Republican base is energized. I live deep in Trump territory and have seen how the Trumpkins view the Kavanaugh hearing as a dirty trick. Republicans’ poll numbers have been improving over the past week.

Everything else you said is true.

I don’t understand. Are we chino -wearing -merlot -swilling milquetoasts of the elite or a dangerous howling, albeit unarmed, mob?

I recently attended a volunteer meeting for a congressional candidate here in Michigan. I saw no “mob” there. What I saw was a dedicated group of seniors who love their country and want to work for a candidate they believe in. They’re people you’d like as neighbors and friends. And it sure beats sitting on your ass and just writing checks.

Do not bring any identification. Cut manufacturer’s labels out of clothing. Wear latex gloves. Bring nothing with you. Torches and pitchforks will be issued at the site.

Report from inside the Left-Leaning Mob: my 73-year old mother, 41-year old sister and I just went canvassing last night for their local Democratic House Rep candidate. We talked issues, and in a few cases my sister shared some of her experiences being a victim of sexual assault. We got a few hugs and a lot of support.

I’ve been watching Trump’s approval numbers, the Congressional races, and the generic ballot. I wouldn’t say there’s anything dramatic going on. There’s usually some tightening, but this close any meaningful lead is typically close to baked in. There may be people who think about dirty tricks and like that Roe is in danger and so forth, but they thought most of that stuff already. Think they’re as energized as suburban college-educated women? Because that’s the territory I live in and believe me they’re pretty damn energized. As far as news cycles go the GOP can beat this to death, but it’s reasonable to wonder how much good it does them on election day.

Funny how none of the mob are grabbing guns a la the home-grown right-wing shooters who are responsbile for every mass shooting in this country. It is very troubling that the “word” can go out among Republican voters and … it works. Every time. There is no equivalent on the left (for good reason); however, it does seem very effective for the beloved “uneducated.” I wish we could counter so effectively.

Despicable old men…NEVER EVER have they been about the COUNTRY, coming TOGETHER. It is always and forever about THEM. Nasty old reprobates.

If you just had signs and protested silently, I would be on your side. If you act like a mob, you’re supporting Trump because they use this as campaign material. No one is more of a Democrat than I am, but reasonable, effective Democrats don’t act like an unruly mob.

Torches, pitchforks and pikes, with their heads.

Frankly, I doubt it’s going to work this time. I think that the 1 in 3 Americans who for some inexplicable reason support Trump will be exuberant to vote, no matter what. And I’m pretty sure that the rest of us are woke and understand the existential threat that he poses and are equally energized.

“Their tactics are too hot. They insult Republicans and turn off independents even more than the prospect of impeachment does,”

Yeah, wish in one hand and shit in the other, boyo.

Fucking THIS!

I left the Republican Party in 2001 due to this very thing!

I’ve fucking HAD IT with whataboutism in the media! The RUPUBLICANS STARTED THIS! And Dems catch ever lasting bullshit form trying to fix it. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME!

It’s time to break republican heads and FIX THIS SHIT! No quarter, no ducking mercy. Unconditional defeat of the republicans at every single pass!

The republicans will NEVER play fair. They will NEVER be bi-partisan! It’s time we learned this, deep down at our core, we defeat them or we LOSE THIS REPUBLIC!

please take the time to write this to all the broadcast media outlets of your choice

Do I bother to get my hair done, as I represent justice and the future, or just put a bandana over it in case it gets mussed when I get arrested? My Soros employee pamphlet has never been clear on these things.
