Their Trampoline Artistry

by

Ask yourself about the tactic of repetitive messaging. It’s not just a political tool but also an advertising mainstay. It is believed that to repeat an advertising ‘come on’ three times is to heighten the public’s retention. This explains why the telephone number is usually repeated three times.

Carry that ploy into politics or into the communist agenda, and eventually, it begins to sink in, if only subconsciously. Therefore, how many have been tempted into thinking the ridiculous: whether Trump might actually want to “destroy American democracy”? Of course, these charges, along with the routine comparisons to Hitler and Stalin, are desperation tactics but also are insulting in light of Trump’s Presidential accomplishments when in office.

This sordid fanfare comes from the political sector, our entertainment field, and the pens of journalism. Individual credibility has often been sacrificed by furthering this attack mode, which Washington Post columnist Mike Godwin displayed with his recently titled piece, “Yes, it’s okay to compare Trump to Hitler. Don’t let me stop you.” Then there’s Joy Reid’s incredible recent video, “Let me know who I got to vote for to keep Hitler out of the White House.” These excerpts are taken from a Gerald Posner Wall Street Journal piece entitled The Forgotten Lessons of Dallas 1963 and Memphis 1968.

Posner cites that “Biden campaign officials and surrogates have compared Mr. Trump to Benito Mussolini, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un.” Then there’s Biden’s irresponsible remarks at a fundraiser in December; “Mr. Trump’s language ‘echoes the same phrases used in Nazi Germany’” followed with, “…the president told donors that ‘it’s time to put Trump in a bull’s eye.’”

After the Saturday, July 13th assassination attempt, Americans are again being treated to the dem’s verbal trampoline bouncing when declaring that this vindictive oratory must end. Really? Realistically, without their favorite accusatory speech filler, their campaign would be limited to a single issue which would eventually become tiresome from being overplayed.

Actually, aside from the dreadful possibilities that were fortunately prevented by Heaven’s protective powers, this incident embellishes just how hopeless a political party that has converted solely to communist tactics is. If nothing else, this ineptness of political competition showcases its total revamping from what was the Democrat party to what now lacks any possibility of a political platform and, in turn, has become politically inept. Without amassing support through their accusatory tactics, even their one remaining issue tends to wane.

In summary, the Democrats have boxed themselves in without any conceivable options. They have done so with a reliance upon their elected power, their ability to abuse that power, and the assumption that they will retain such power simply by the elimination of their only threat. Their inflammatory rhetoric and trampoline bouncing are losing both their zing and spring. The Dems are finally undressed, and their would-be emperor should be happy if some beach time is all that waits!
