Divide and Conquer -- Transforming Citizens into Mobs -- Begins With "Lock Her Up"

[ancianita]

1.
Campaign messages that were once temporary have now become daily news propaganda.

Why? To transform a united country into a divided one through political war.

At a designated campaign time, Democrats began with "I'm With Her".

In the now-permanent campaign time, Republicans continue with "Lock Her Up"!

2.
How?
Continue with identity issues begun a century ago.
Lead the drumbeat against women in public service.

Have Mike Pence, Michael Flynn, Chris Christie, Jeff Sessions, whip up mobs' drumbeat of chants, from the Cleveland RNC to Iowa to Phoenix to Montana to Michigan to Maryland.

Brainwash crowds with the media as "enemies of the people"; stir fear about race war, immigrant invasions; then scale up to hit half the population -- women -- not just Hillary.

By midterms, have the Mob President take over the fake democratic wrestling match with the drumbeat chants of his mobs.

For American women the end game used to be about locking you OUT; now it has become about locking you UP.

Why mob politics?
To end law as access to justice, establish lack of tranquility with permanent political campaigning, and create minority rule.

Re-cut old gender division wounds among and between women (over issues like "which gender has the greater moral call to 'protect' the unborn, men, other women); combine that new cuts among their male allies (who are true men? what makes women human? equal? deserving of equality? protection?)

To slice and dice identities within the body politic on a much bigger scale can re-brainwash citizens with ancient animosities faster than the 'old school' scheduled campaign seasons have.

“Her” was never just about Clinton.

"Her" was always about the male dominance by public incrimination of women -- from professional or in elected officials -- Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Dr. Christine Blasy Ford, Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi -- to trafficked immigrant children.

"Her" is about mockery, stigma, incrimination, punishment of women
-- who dare call any male opponent a gullible puppet,
-- who decry any male sexual predators,
-- who refuse to accept male excuses that sexual assault talk is “locker room talk,” "bragging rights," "just jokes."

"Her" is about slapping alien status on all women, girls, boys, too, who refuse to accept the patriarchal yoke. Those who bear that yoke are allowed to "come to papa."

From Iowa to Michigan to Cleveland to Pennsylvania to Maryland, mobs won't say it, maybe don't even know it, but through their crowd fun, they send male dominion messages to all women, girls and boys.

Trump, as mob president, has whipped up 20 or more mobs with the following messages to:


-- Women who aspire to run for office. Message: Men made laws for themselves, not for you.

-- Women who obtain high positions in business and government. Message: Men made order for themselves; you serve only that order.

-- Women currently in government. Message: your days are numbered on the power stage men built; watch your back.

-- Women and girl migrants come to America to flee danger. Message: there is no protection for women and children here.

-- Women try to exercise their reproductive rights. Message: neither you nor your doctor have private rights to reproductive health.

-- Women who speak about sexual harassment and abuse. Message: no one will believe you.

-- Women turn to law enforcement for rape, with 200,143 still untested rape kits. Message: justice and freedom are for men.

Out loud the 20+ mobs have said: You're with HER? Lock HER up!

Keep in mind George Orwell's "Politics and the English Language" --

When "alt-" is the standard, truth is subversive.

When "mob" is the standard, citizen is subversive.

When "men" is the standard, non-man is subversive.

1. Recommended. An outstanding post.

And Trump, and the GOP, see law as a tool to be used against the opposition.

They demonize their opponents as they call for civility and dialogue. Trump is not an aberration. He is the post 1965 GOP.

2. Speaking of mobs:

I remember reading in the Bible that the devil's name is "legion"

3. I just want, as Camus has said, to call things by their name.

To misname is to be a liar or a fool.
