The 20%

 

 

 

Kurt Schlichter hits a home run with his 4/17/25 editorial posted in Townhall.com, entitled Democrats Will Always Side Against Normal People—Always. Fifty years ago, that was not so, when they were liberal not radicalized Progressives. Today there are Marxist postmodernists, and cultural Marxism is their religiofied holy cause, Progressivism is their mass movement, and they are true believers.

 

As elitist snobs and fanatics, they do not compromise, and they seek total defeat for themselves, or total surrender from decent Middle Americans. Let us peacefully, but firmly defeat them. Here is the article.

 

 

Kurt (K from now on): “Democrats Will Always Side Against Normal People – Always

I want you to think carefully and see if you can come up with a single issue on which the leftist establishment sides in favor of normal Americans. Just one. Just one time when they prioritize the interests of normal people over the demands of weirdos, losers, mutations, illegal aliens, pinkos, perverts, and vegans.

I’ll wait. And by the time you get back to me, the sun will have burned out and Saturday Night Live will be funny again.

Many people have observed that Trump is always on the 80 side of the 80/20 issues; what’s surprising is how eager the left is to go all-in on the 20s. There’s something about the left that forces it, even against political common sense, to always take the side of the bad guys.”

 

My response: Leftists hate America, hate God, hate decency, and hate the sensible popular will of the majority. Progressives seek to set up a sick, totalitarian state, so this is why they favor weirdos and malcontents, the bad people, over the good people.

I am not saying we should persecute them: not at all, but I am saying we need to keep them politically disenfranchised, and have them arrested, tried and jailed if they use violence and terror to set up totalitarianism in America, their only real, ultimate aim.

K: “The American people have come out pretty clearly against this weirdness, but that won’t stop them. Every single time they have the choice between decent, normal American teenage girls and weird men who like to expose themselves to the same in the guise of being women themselves, the left supports the creeps. Every single time. And not just a little. It’s a pagan sacrament to them that some dude named Phil can pretend to be Phyllis and walk into a women’s locker room with the whole gang swingin’. 

The left could choose to be on the side of normal Americans who would prefer not to be raped and/or murdered by illegal aliens who shouldn’t be here in the first place. But the establishment left backs the illegal aliens who shouldn’t be here in the first place, even to the point of wanting them imported back into the United States when we finally get rid of them. Think about that –  they not only don’t want these people gone but they want us to bring them back. Moreover, under Biden, they were literally flying them into the country. Again, normal Americans have made it quite clear that they would prefer that illegal aliens who shouldn’t be here in the first place shouldn’t be here, but no. The establishment left must take the side of the Third World gang members and against the citizens of America who these monsters torment.

Of course, the left has always loved criminals. It’s never the fault of the scumbag thief or psycho killer. When you object to homegrown crooks looting and pillaging, it’s you being too attached to your property that you actually worked for and too attached to your body which is actually yours. They can’t wait to contribute to the murderer’s GoFundMe.”

My response: Kurt provides example after example where Leftists are illogical, against regular people, that their daughters, bodies, property and very lives are inviolate. We need to quit listening to these hostile whackos.

K: “They always side with those who wish us ill, both here and abroad.”

My response: We need to quit feeling guilty when we did nothing wrong, and need to quit apologizing when these revolutionaries hurl unfounded accusations against us. They are our enemies, and they will harm us if they can—keep them out of political power, period!

K: “They actively want defender of the West Israel to lose even after Hamas murdered Americans and still holds one of us hostage. Kamala Harris would not pick the smart choice (Jewish Josh Shapiro) over weak, neurotic, post-Christian mediocrity Femmy Le StolenValor because she did not want to alienate the active supporters of Hamas who make up a substantial chunk of the Democrat coalition.

Look at what’s happening in El Salvador. It once had the highest murder rate in the world. That was normal people being butchered by gang members. And then their new president came in, grabbed all the gang members, stuck them into a giant prison, and the murder rate dropped by about 90%. That’s the lives of normal people being saved. That’s countless robberies, rapes, and murders not being committed upon innocent citizens. And you know what the left wants? It wants those criminals back out on the street again. It would rather have normal people butchered than have an example set of what can happen if we simply have the will to act. 

We saw the same thing with the border, too. We were told by the left – and by spineless collaborators like James Lankford – that we were helpless and that we needed a whole bunch of new laws to shut down the border. The laws they offered would have, in fact, opened the border forever. Donald Trump came in and simply shut down the border. It’s now closed. The immigration crisis, in terms of Third World peasants flowing in, has ended. Of course, the establishment left is now doing everything it can to prevent Trump from reversing the flow of Third World peasants.”

My response: As revolutionaries seeking power, seeking to take down decent, free, prosperous America, criminals in the streets and millions of illegal aliens should roam our streets to end our peaceful, free, happy, prosperous, lawful way of life. No way, you traitors. 

K: “How about terrorist sympathizers who come to our country on a visa and support concepts like eradicating Western civilization? One might expect the establishment left does not to want to be eradicated, but it seems to think it will get an exception and that it’s only us normal people who are going to be eradicated. Politically, how do you side with folks who literally announce they want to murder all of your countrymen? Look, I’m no political expert, but I would think that that’s a poor strategy. The Dem’s whopping 27% approval rating supports my contention. Hemorrhoids poll higher.”

K: “Of course, none of this is based on strategy. It’s not even based on ideology. It’s actually a weird religion for weak, neurotic, post-Christian mediocrities who, in past times, would have been culled via the principle of survival of the fittest. This is their cult, and we are their sacrifices. Take the climate change hoax, please. Their dogma commands that our prosperity must be sacrificed on the altar of Gaia, the angry weather goddess. The lives of normals must be made ever worse in order to expiate our original sin of not being weak, neurotic, post-Christian mediocrities, whether via DEI or low-flow shower heads. We can’t have meat, we can’t have trucks, we can’t have babies, and now we can’t even have dogs.” 

My response: You are mistaken, Kurt. This un-strategic, unpopular platform pushed by the Left, this weird religion is their ideology, for this is how true believers think and act. But, we must not underestimate them: we must not be afraid of them, give into them, or obey them, but we must stay united and strong and politically defeat them and keep them defeated, because fanatics are not lying when they threaten us: they will do exactly the arrogant, crazy, vicious, tyrannical, evil, insane things they promise to do, of they gain the power to enforce their will on the uninterested, unwilling masses. Eric Hoffer wrote somewhere that the fanatic is a surgeon whose plan is to operate on the body of his patient with an axe.

K: “Well, you’ll have to pry my corgi-golden retriever mix from my cold, dead hands. But, of course, that’s not going to happen. They can’t pry anything. These people can’t fight us. They’ve got no guns, and they’ve got no upper body strength, and they certainly don’t have the testosterone to come at us. They can’t force us to do anything. But they can attempt to browbeat, intimidate, and nag us into submission. That’s their strategy. They want to bring about this monstrous utopia and they intend to pester us into allowing it.

But we can say, “No.”

This is why Trump horrifies them so much. He says, “No.” He doesn’t care what they think, and he won’t do what they say. He’s no fey National Review columnist who demands that we honor the dead norms and guardrails our enemies have bulldozed. He won’t give up in the face of their incessant bitching on social media. He doesn’t feel guilty about protecting the interests of normal people. In fact, he actively and aggressively defends the interests of normal people, which drives the left establishment crazy. Remember, they can’t force us to do anything. They can only convince us to submit, and neither Trump nor those of us who support him are allowing that to happen.

That’s why they are going nuts right now. They are losing, and they know it.

So they are doubling down. Be ready. Everything they say is a lie and a scam. As Elizabeth Warren might say, they speak with forked tongues. That’s why, unlike the Fredocons,  you must be prepared to reject any argument they make. That includes their bad faith procedural arguments where they contend that we must give due process to monsters – because any due process we give them will never be enough and must be stretched out infinitely so it effectively means we can’t do anything to solve the problem. We must likewise reject their bogus substantive arguments that anything we choose to do to respond to their political and cultural assaults is morally wrong and beyond the pale. Again, the purpose is to convince us we are helpless in the face of their onslaught.”

My response: Kurt is right, they seek to gaslight and brainwash until they convince the masses that these fanatics are right. Do not hear them; do not heed them; keep them out of power and we write our own narrative to make America great again.

K: “You need to understand that they hate you. You need to understand that they want only what is worst for you. You need to understand that every single time they will take the side of indecency, perversion, and murder – literally – against you and your family. That’s why you must be ready to govern yourself accordingly in this paradigm instead of shutting your eyes and covering your ears and pretending really, really hard that everything is OK. It isn’t. 

There’s no compromise possible with these people. They must be defeated comprehensively and in detail, and the only way we’re going do that is with the kind of cold ruthlessness that serious men demonstrate when they’re serious about crushing their enemies. 

It’s no time for wavering. It’s no time for whining. It’s no time for appealing to norms that don’t exist as an excuse to avoid doing the hard work of winning. Get that through your head. Understand that. Accept that. Act accordingly.”

My response Kurt is correct. These are perilous, foolish, nihilistic people that hate everyone and everything. Give them no power.
