Interesting theory on Trump’s Success

Trump’s ‘lack of decorum, dignity, and statesmanship’ by Evan Sayet and published (under the title “He Fights”) on the Townhall website on 13 July 2017.
My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum.

They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”

Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity.
There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.

We tried statesmanship.
Could there be another human being on this 🌏 who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain?

We tried propriety –

has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?

And the results were always the same.
This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality, and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a 🔪 fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.
I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic 🙌.
I don’t 👀 anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks.

I don’t 👀 anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent.
Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s.
To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.

It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery, and lies from day one –

the violent take-over of the universities – till today.
The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war.

While the Left has been taking a 🔪 to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality, and propriety.
With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end.

Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War

During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors.
Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.

Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today.
Lincoln rightly recognized that “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”

General George Patton was vulgar-talking.

In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank.
But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

Trump is fighting.
And what’s particularly 😋 is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your 📓!”
That is just the icing on the 🍰, but it’s wonderful 👀 that not only is Trump fighting, but he’s also defeating the Left using their own tactics.
That 📓 is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a 📓 so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis.
It is an 📓 of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our 📓 to those we most 💛 or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his 📓 to Lucifer.
Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do.
First, instead of going after “the fake media” — and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth,
from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN.

He made it personal.

Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.”…
Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position …

They need to respond.

This leaves them with only two choices.
They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or
they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery.

The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic 🙌 they serve.
It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive.
