Rule 5: Ridicule Is Man’s Most Potent Weapon

Here's the rest of the rule:

"There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

2) If you needed any evidence that Trump has read and mastered Alinsky, look no further. Trump ridicules our enemies. This is so potent that they have to silence him, utterly. In his silencing, they ridicule themselves.

3) Bullies. Thugs. Miscreants. Big Brother. Censors. They parody themselves by their actions and decisions. If Trump had been honestly defeated, they would have no need to silence him, or to purge us, his supporters, his followers.

4) Here's a fact. Trump has proven 100% immune to ridicule. So, what did the left do in 2020? They had to steal the election. They were simply NOT able to bring Trump down by any other means. And that applies to right here in Virginia. Consider:

thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/308000…

5) How did I get here, to supporting Fairfax over McAuliffe in our current Democrat primary? The start of the answer is that McAuliffe needed to be ridiculed. He is nothing but a Clinton pawn. He is a capo in the Clinton Crime Machine. He leads the Democrat pack.

6) But how did I get here, really? The answer is my reading. I am an ongoing student of my own list of recommended readings. Right now, I continue to work on Gene Sharp's From Dictatorship To Democracy. Virginia, and Albemarle County where I live, are dictatorships.

7) My goal is to build a crew of reader/practitioners who, like me, read these books and apply them locally. My first sight is simply to the some 3,000+ counties in America. We need 3,000+ reader/activists. This, I believe, is what MAGA requires to survive and thrive.

8) The simple point, right now, is that the Republican Party of Virginia chose to NOT have a primary this year. That frees up 2.5 million votes. We, Virginia Republicans can take charge of the current Democrat primary if we choose to do so. Now that's power.

9) All we need do is coalesce around a single Democrat contender with a mere 12% of our votes, 300,000, targeted at the Democrat contender of our choice and we hold complete and total power over their outcome. Imagine that. We control their outcome. Completely.

10) Now let's run this through Alinsky's Rules.

1) Power is what your enemy thinks you have.

If we #DefeatMcAuliffeNow, our enemy will know it was us who did it. Imagine the power that gives us!

11) "Never go outside the expertise of your people."

If we fail on Tuesday, this rule will be the reason why. We are NOT expert in taking power over our enemies. We are far too nice for that. I say let's not be nice. Let's build new expertise.

12) "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy."

We have this chance right now. They cannot anticipate us taking over their primary. I say again...image the power.

13) "Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules."

Fairfax is a perfect identity candidate. Right skin color. Right politics. Why would the Democrats vote in yet another old white guy? He fails to live up to their identity politics.

14) "Ridicule..."

The Republican Party of Virginia calls McAuliffe the past, not the present or future. This seems a weak ridicule to me, but maybe they're right. I can tell you this. McAuliffe is anti-America. His bona fides place him on the wrong side of history.

15) "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."

Come on. Would it NOT be delightful, delicious fun to take complete charge over the Democrat's primary? They have no power. We have all. Just 12% of us targeted at one candidate takes the day. We decide. Now THAT is fun!

16) "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."

Aren't you tired of tactics like "We're right, and therefore we'll win?" Why not take charge now? Why not employ the power in our hands, fully? The old Republican tactics have dragged on too long. They're a drag now.

17) "Keep the pressure on."

Ha! We idiot Republicans, we foolish patriots ALWAYS drop the pressure. Who remember the Tea Party? Who remembers how the Republicans gave Obama everything he wanted in spite of the Tea Party? No pressure at all. No pressure.

18) A landslide election was stolen. Yet, we hurry to reduce the pressure. No pressure. A color revolution took place but we drop the pressure. No pressure. Alinsky laughs at us from his grave. No pressure.

19) "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."

Threat? How do we on the right were threaten those on the left, at all? If we were ever going to do so, we'd be doing it now over the stolen election. But, as I see it, the left feels zero threat at all, now.

20) "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."

Admit it. Our Republican leaders couldn't be blinder on this point, period. They maintain no pressure at all.

21) "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative."

Alas. Alinsky's books are needed for this point to attain clarity. Still, let me try...

22) The leader is a bad guy. All his followers will support him. Yet the tinge of badness matters. Being the person who pushes on how bad the leader is, you will be perceived as a good guy. The negative of the leader has the positive of his opponent. You win.

23) "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."

We don't need to push Youngkin, yet. We need only to offer Fairfax as McAuliffe's superior candidate. This is our constructive alternative.

24) "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

1) Pick
2) Freeze
3) Personalize
4) Polarize

25) Can you feel Alinsky's genius here? This is real politic.

This is what Trump did to 16 fellow Republican contenders for nomination in 2016. This is precisely what we have failed to do to Joe Biden since he stole the election.

26) I am no true supporter of Justin Fairfax's. He is merely a tool, to me. He is a tool to defeat McAuliffe. Defeating McAuliffe is what Virginia requires right now. Should we succeed, we'll have to defeat Fairfax next. We take these things one step at a time.

27) Who is this man, Glenn Youngkin? I have started to have a clue, but better I should say I don't. Why? He's our man. He is the Virginia Republican contender for Governor. A Governor is like a President. President of our Commonwealth. So, Youngkin is our man.

28) Being our man, we have to support him. We have no choice. It's him or a Democrat. The Democrats will further destroy our Commonwealth. We know that. It's worse. They'll happily destroy our nation itself, pocketing their own happy dollars in payoff.

29) So it goes and so it goes. Political offices are sold off for the price they can pay to their holders. So it goes and so it goes. McAuliffe is the worst of the worst. He sells off everything to the Clinton Machine. Please hear that. McAuliffe is pure evil.

30) Can Youngkin defeat Fairfax? No idea, and couldn't care less. Let's assume Fairfax defeats Youngkin. Oh well. So be it. Fairfax is NOT McAuliffe. On the other hand...Youngkin has a strikingly better chance defeating Fairfax than McAuliffe.

Now that's politics.

Thread ends at #30.

Wanna win? Let's put the logistics in place. Let's get 300,000 votes for Fairfax by Virginia Republicans out on 8 June. Let's go!
