Trump gets away with everything he does because of the way dipshits like Limpy react to him!

Keep it up, limpy! You're normalizing him!


Who’s ‘Normalizing’ Donald Trump Now?

The vulgarity and violence of the anti-Trump left may be helping the president.

Quick: What do “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” US Weekly and former President Barack Obama have in common?

All have been accused of the high crime of “normalizing” Donald Trump. The idea is that anyone not relentlessly emoting against the 45th president is helping him build the new Reich. As with so much of the Sturm und Drang surrounding Mr. Trump, the point here is not to advance an anti-Trump argument but to preclude argument altogether.

After all, does one argue with Hitler?

The crazy is not entirely mad. In 2009, activists note, Republicans found themselves in a similar fix, with Mr. Obama ensconced in the Oval Office and lopsided Democratic majorities running Congress. By crashing Mr. Trump’s administration, the activists hope to excite their base and revive their party the way Republicans did.

Perhaps. But there’s a good argument that the Democrats are getting played. This was, in fact, the headline over a recent New York Daily News piece by Mike Gecan, co-director of the Industrial Areas Foundation—the same IAF that was co-founded by Saul Alinsky and helped inspire a young community organizer named Barack Obama.

Mr. Gecan argues that the parallel for what’s happening in Washington right now is Wisconsin in 2011. Back then, Gov. Scott Walker backed a bill stripping public-employee unions of collective-bargaining rights. The left erupted in protest, with demonstrators occupying the State Capitol and a movement pushing a recall of the governor in what became a national drama.

Just one problem: It didn’t work. The bill was passed and ruled constitutional. Gov. Walker won the 2012 recall election in June even as Mr. Obama carried Wisconsin in the presidential in November. And Republicans increased their majorities in the Wisconsin state House and Senate.

Mr. Gecan says protest is no substitute for hard, grass-roots persuasion. “Many Dems either don’t know how to relate to people with moderate or mixed views or they don’t want to,” he writes. “They prefer rock stars and celebrities to bus drivers and food service workers. They like cute sayings and clever picket signs, not long and patient listening sessions with people who have complicated interests, people who might not pass the liberal litmus test.”

Certainly it’s possible Mr. Trump will end up alienating people who would otherwise work with him but are weary of cracks such as the one implying a moral equivalence between America and Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Yet the American people are not hearing Mr. Trump in a vacuum. They are hearing him in the context of what is coming from the mouths of his critics, the extravagance of which risks overwhelming anything preposterous Mr. Trump might say himself.

One example: Have any of those outraged by Mr. Trump’s tweet disparaging a “so-called judge” paid the least attention to the glaring emptiness of legal reasoning behind the judge’s stay? Ditto for Sally Yates: Anyone else spot the irony in praising a Justice Department appointee for standing up to fascism with an unconstitutional challenge to executive authority?

These are only the mildest forms. At the Women’s March on Washington, Americans heard Madonna fantasize about bombing the White House. On Twitter, they read a then-Politico journalist use a four-letter obscenity to suggest an incestuous relationship between the president and his daughter. Last week American TV screens were filled with images of the champions of tolerance setting fires and smashing windows at Berkeley to stop a gay conservative from addressing College Republicans. On, Wisconsin!

Now Mr. Trump’s progressive opponents seem determined to eat their own. Recently they protested outside Mr. Schumer’s Brooklyn home, under the banner of that same four-letter obscenity, which is highly popular among those who regard Mr. Trump as the triumph of the vulgar.

In New York, where Hillary Clinton won nearly 80% of the citywide vote, this kind of protest may be a crowd pleaser. So is a strategy that calls for boycotting presidential inaugurations, not showing up for Senate committee votes or voting “no” on every Trump cabinet pick. But in, say, North Dakota—a state Mr. Trump carried by 36 points and where Sen. Heidi Heitkamp is up for re-election in 2018—folks might see things differently.

Again, it’s entirely possible President Trump has unleashed furies that will do him in or at least prevent him from doing his job. But the Wisconsin outcome remains equally possible. Which two years from now would leave Mr. Schumer leading an even more shrunken Democratic Party, especially if President Trump manages to get the economy growing again.

If the Wisconsin outcome happens, it won’t be the pro-Trumpers who normalized him. It will be the enemies who shunned democratic politics in favor of celebrity preening, F-bombs and protests designed to intimidate.

Hey loneshark, did you notice how he responded by calling you all three of those names? Plus he threw in homophobic and redneck for extra credit.

Limpdick doesn't deserve an ounce of respect from anyone, on or off this board. He can't engage on the merits, he knows he will lose. So he falls back on superficial libtard talking points and name-calling. Libtards like him are a dime a dozen. Originally Posted by lustylad

Everyone knows this is true, the only ones left still supporting him are those still digging his vile racist remarks! Loanshark like all deplorables is a victim of Trumps con job.

When you use the terms racist, uneducated, deplorable all you are doing is repeating what you have been told by cnn. Try having a rational thought of your own, maybe you can rise up to lead the democratic party if you do.

Atleast Biden came out and said his whole town voted trump and they arent uneducated racist, they wanted change and weren't happy w/ the direction we were headed.

economy? the fed deficit ballooned 80% in 8 years basically buying any GDP growth there was at all...the govt grew outta control along w/enriching themselves...The labor participation rate is lowest ever because why work when you can live of fed, just keep having babies (raises) and have lib's upping low income property values that can be used...christ alleg announced 19 mil for 58 townhouses 327K each and 70% low income LOL...why work? I think everyone should have a roof, food and healthcare but if you haven't worked for over a year and aren't trying, you and you flock should be living in dorms...if you dont like it (which u shouldn't) get a frickn job...even part time at minimum and that should be the barrier to getting an apt/ect...incentive to get off ass, I'd rather give 1000 to someone working part time than 100 to someone living of govt not ever ever working a day in their life.

as far as immigration...DO IT LEGALLY...Learn our language, learn our laws, there will be NO sharia law, no F'm santuary cities, just do it legally and do it orderly. christ, do lib's support me walking into a walmart (or breaking in) illegally and stealing food and clothes because I'd like to eat and look good? And how dare the Rooneys not let me into heinz field w out a tix to watch the game...I mean it's common sense

BTW, the freak show of Hillary's supporters stomping flags ect...they have equal rights ect...I'd love to ship that whole crew out of america...our deficit would half in a year

I know and he is what the whole Democratic party is about use protests and cry's of racism as a way to garner votes. We all know if it were not for the bias media the Dems would be done.

I will summit this as evidence of the Democratic leaders who want to lead would you chose these two to lead a toilet flushing let alone the country.

Republicans always conveniently forget that after the 8 hell years of Bush we were into the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression! Republican policies drove us to the brink of collapse! OBama in 8 years saved our country, you all should be kissing his ass for the job he did! He turned the country around financially and created the Affordable Care Act which was of the greatest legislative achievements in the history of our country!
It is why OBama was one of the most popular presidents of all time!

Donald Trump is a documented racist that surrounds himself with known white nationalist! He is also compromised by Russia and is a puppet of Putin! He calls his followers uneducated and says that he likes the uneducated! My opinion is that with this all being known, if your supporting him, you have to either be a racist or uneducated or both! This is why Donald Trump is the most unpopular president to ever hold office!

According to the weekly Gallup polls conducted during each President's tenure, Reagan, Nixon and BOTH Bushes all beat out Obama in terms of popularity/job approval while in office.

How many times do we have to call you out on the same lie?

Question for Limpdick - Do you lie knowingly and deliberately? Or is it because you're uneducated and can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood?
