This Transgender Insanity is actually brilliant

[makattak]

... as a tactic.

It is, of course, the left's modus operandi. They get a win, ANY win, and immediately go on the offensive with some other, even crazier idea.

So the homosexual marriage win that was against the will of most of the people and decided by 9 Judges now seems relatively sane.

And because the left is ALL IN on forcing the transgender insanity upon the normals, the normals don't have any opportunity to go back and revist the insane and tyrannical homosexual marriage decision.

For all the craziness on the left, their tactics are very, very shrewd. They never bother with shoring up ground they have won, they are always on the attack.

While I weep for what the left has done, is doing, and will do to this country, I can appreciate how well they organize and strategize. If only the right would use tactics like this.

[230RN]

Oh, like many of us haven't been whining about that lefty cleverness for decades, and the subject matter doesn't matter.

I wish I could still find my letter to the NRA from years ago wondering how come, with all the military brilliance we have in our membership, we haven't developed effective proactive strategies to start winning.

I will admit, though, that half of the problem is that the media will not allow "our side" to be presented any more, even then.

So I suggested that "we" start targeting the smaller weekly and neighborhood-type periodicals, who are always dollar-hungry, with our ads.

I point out that right now, 2019 CE, advertising on over-the-air small networks is pretty cheap, but I guess that's too backwoodsey for our fine, dignified polished brown wood and shiny blueing NRA.

Let's face it, though, the lefties have had an effective playbook, starting with making their political correctness the measure for all rationality.

It has been interesting to me regarding transgenders in sports. Some "blue check" or other said something along the line of, "Soon transgender women will rule all women's sports. No duh.

It also relates to so-called "scientists" now arguing that once you declare your gender, you take on all physical attributes of that gender. Bone structure, musculature, etc.

I'm mostly sad for science.

Normal people have real lives, and interests outside their obsession.  Even me.

This is the exact tactic they have been using for the last 10 years or so to keep moving the dialog to more and more insane proposals, making the past insane proposals the new norm.

It’s been a tactic wielded against us a lot longer than a decade!

For sure, but it's been used very hard since the Obama era. There are things that used to be considered fringe, taboo, or outright illegal that you are no longer allowed to criticize.
In 10 years, I doubt that anyone will be able to speak up against pedophilia without fear of losing their job or getting death threats from an angry mob, and there will be movements to normalize things that are so degenerate that we haven't even thought of them yet.

And when you control a big chunk of the media, that tactic is easy to do.  The right can't use that tactic in large part because of that.  They lack the ability to drive the public discussion.  Trump has been unique in that he has been able to do that to a certain extent.  

It also helps to have a bunch of rich billionaires funding leftist groups that help push this stuff along.

So you're saying that AOC is actually a clever ploy to make Obama look competent and intelligent?

Just as likely that she is a clever ploy to be a living strawman to mock the left.

Re: transgenderism....
As weird as it sounds, I'm actually backing this horse.
It runs up in direct competition with feminism. All feminists have to offer is screeching obese shrews with dyed hair, where many trans women work very hard to be as appealing and effeminate as possible. Trans women are also going to be the death of Title IX. Gays and lesbians also tend to hate them- it must really piss them off that a man can transition to a female and try to have an ostensibly heterosexual relationship with a man, or vice versa.

I've recommended this article before, and I think he was on to something back in mid-2015.

https://stephenmcalpine.com/athen-is-fencing-babylon-is-a-cage-fight/

Athenian fencing presupposes we can win an argument with a three point thesis: Babylonian cage fighting trumps us with a savvy, shallow viral Facebook meme that knocks the wind out of our intellectual sails.

He's mainly talking about socially conservative Christians, but it applies to the left/right conflict generally. We keep thinking we're going to destroy them with our razor-sharp arguments, but they just recruit a bunch of blue-haired women and masked criminals to mob us at restaurants, and scream outside our houses (and that's when they're not hitting us with bike locks, or burning cars in the street).

In my leftist workplace nearly the only person who ever wore heels and a skirt was transgender. My female manager wears skirts on occasion.

The rest of the “you go girls” are too busy being tough and bad ass.

Which is the road to civil war...one that will come as a massive shock to those provoking it. Its only a matter of time before conservatives start doing the calculus and decide that their first action has a high price, and every one after that is free.

I don't know if there's a civil war in the offing, but it's interesting that McAlpine said that about 2 weeks before Trump "escalated." Not that Trump is the antifa type, but he's defnitely a change in tactics from intellectual debate to dank memes.

I prefer dank memes to civil war- they are effective, hard to counter, they spread fast, and best of all, the left can't meme.

I mumbled something like that recently:

That they can propose every crazy idea and approve every far-out personality now, then stop at an appropriate time before the election to make their slightly less crazy thinking sound logical and reasonable and palatable to fence-sitting and vacuous voters.
