What They're Up To

Judd Gregg on with Ari Melber

When Gregg says, "The country just isn't going to go with a socialist...", I think we can hear some of what the GOP is planning.

First, Ari shoulda pushed back on the "Bernie's a socialist" thing. There may well be a few "socialist" aspects to Bernie's philosophy, but I haven't heard him espousing anything that sounds like "the people must seize the means of production" - and that's kinda the big one.

Anyway -

The obvious part is that Cult45 want to run against Bernie. We've seen efforts from more than a couple of "conservatives" to push Republicans to vote for Bernie in the open primaries.

But I think it goes beyond the usual divide-n-conquer and scare-mongering they always use against "liberals" and anyone who shows signs of getting people together in order to resist the Daddy State. 

I think they have mountains of rat-fuckery shit they were planning to use against him if he'd pulled it off in 2016, and knowing the bellicose propensities of these clowns, I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude they're champin' at the bit, obsessing over the phrase that always haunts their subconscious: "An unused weapon is a useless weapon".

They've been running the same plays this time. They're tearing away at Biden - and the others too - but leaving Bernie more or less unscathed, except for a few potshots, and the usual needling of the anti-Bernie factions in the Dem coalition, which makes the Press Poodles salivate and put out the latest installment of "Democrats in disarray...".

If Biden gets the nomination, he goes into the general election wounded, and they can keep pimping the resentment and victimhood bullshit that the Bernie Bros stewed about the whole time in 2016, and are still muttering about.

If Bernie gets the nomination, they'll pull out every little piece of shit they've been stock-piling for the last 5 years, and you know it's gotta be pretty fuckin' awful.

(some of the shit I've seen, just with a little light browsing on 4chan and Gateway and Breitbart, is bad enough that I won't put it up here even with quotation marks and *s - it's bad - it's really fuckin' bad)

And actually, I think Gregg has probably had a bit of a firsthand look, and knows a little something about what they're planning, and what's likely to happen this time around no matter who the Dems nominate.

So I'll listen to the Never Trumpers, and the ex-Repub rat-fuckers, and the "conservative brain trust dweebs" but like Dick Nixon said: "Don't count on the fella who made the mess to clean it up."
