The Dangerous Demagoguery Of Stacey Abrams: Open Thread

There is something very dark and sinister going on in America today as the political left, the media and Democrats continue to promote ideas combining socialism, racial resentment, cultural cleansing and the ongoing demonizing of white people – especially males.

In their political desperation after the radical Barack Obama was stopped by constitutionally mandated term limits, Democrats have turned to a collection of extremists, communist sympathizers, rabble-rousing lunatics and an obese flamethrowing radical badly in need of a good dentist.

Stacey Abrams who narrowly lost the Georgia gubernatorial race after running on a platform of pure race-baiting, calls for non-citizens to be granted voting rights and who has a fondness for the use of state power to extract reparations from people who had no role in slavery has somehow managed to become one of the party’s rising stars.

This fanatic who once burned a state flag on the steps of the same capitol building of the state that she wanted to become governor of was chosen by Trump-hating Democrats to give the official rebuttal to President Trump’s SOTU address where she stood in front of what looked like hired actors and continued to insist that she was cheated out of the election by the vast white supremacist conspiracy.

Fox’s Tucker Carlson sounded the warning about this Idi Amin wannabe during his Wednesday show.

According to Carlson:

A woman named Stacey Abrams gave the Democratic rebuttal to the State of the Union address last night. Abrams is not an office holder, she’s a former state legislator from Georgia. She lost the governor’s race in the last election. Nevertheless, party leaders clearly have big plans for Abrams.

Her speech last night wasn’t much she talked mostly about herself but far more interesting was a piece that Abrams wrote in this month’s ‘Foreign Affairs’ magazine. The piece is called, ‘Identity Politics Strengthens Democracy,’ and if you want to understand what the Democratic party seeks for this country you ought to read the piece.

Abrams went to Yale Law School so the article itself is a chore to get through. It’s written in that cloying, indirect academic style that passes for erudition among our credentialed elites. Lots of meaningless adjectives, very few declarative sentences. But you get the point anyway, it’s crystal clear.

“By embracing identity,” Abrams writes in the final sentence, “Americans will become more likely to grow as one.”

Ponder that for a second, the less we have in common, the more united we will be. Is that true? Well, of course not, it’s absurd. Even Stacey Abrams doesn’t really believe it, nobody does.

Abrams doesn’t bother to defend that premise much less explain how exactly identity politics will unite this country. Unity is definitely not what Stacey Abrams is interested in, just the opposite. What she is selling is bitterer division. Abrams spends the bulk of the piece calling on what she describes as the marginalized to unite against the “dominant groups.”

So who is marginalized and who is dominant? It’s not a small question, in the scheme of identity politics is the only question that matters. Everything rides on who was the victim and who is the oppressor, that’s the entire equation. And Abrams spells out the answer in very clear language. The marginalized, she writes, include “women, Native Americans, African-Americans, immigrants, and the LGBTQ community.”

The dominant are everyone who is left, so do the subtraction. That’s only one group, you know exactly who they are and so does Stacey Abrams. She says these people, these unnamed people, are responsible for the suffering of everyone else and we need to overthrow them. She uses the language of violence and war to describe what must come next: “politics is the most effective method of revolt.”

Revolt. People get hurt in revolts, that’s the nature of revolts. Stacey Abrams knows that, she wants one anyway, she doesn’t hide it.

Demagoguery like this would make a kind of sense if your only interest was in winning elections and you didn’t care about what happened afterward, that’s where Democrats are right now.

There is no longer any question that the Democrats no longer believe in the legitimacy of the system and free and fair elections despite their lip service to “democracy” but have become a revolutionary force that seeks to overthrow the country by any means necessary including violence.

Your turn Deplorables, what do you think?
