Democrats who are gloating, be careful. No one, not even you, can control the mob, yours, or "not yours." The mob is the mob; it's an irrational, unthinking, self-destructive, nihilistic force your party created and nurtured for over 50 years with your collectivist bullshit. 1/

NO one's hands are clean, and your party's least of all. You created Trump too. You pushed him, directed your media pals to push him, they made money with him in the headlines, and were happy to oblige. Did you think of the country, you who claim to be so "patriotic" today? 2/
You destroyed candidates who were decent human beings, enabled the candidacy of Trump for self-serving reasons that backfired, ironically b/c the people you maligned for decades, average un-hyphenated Americans were on to you, and picked the "outsider," character be-damned. 3/
When you touted "democracy," which is nothing but mob-rule, did it occur to you the "mob" might turn on you? Did it occur to you it was unpatriotic to encourage mobs, rather than defend individual liberty FROM them? When you trashed the electoral college, what did you expect? 4/
Democrats are JUST as responsible for yesterday as Donald Trump, and everyone who breached security. You don't get to celebrate mob violence for MONTHS, attack the COTUS as "antiquated" or failing to serve "the people," and then act like yesterday had nothing to do with you. 5/
Yesterday was just the logical outcome of collectivist policies attacking the rights of the individual inspiring reactionary populism, mob mentality of one flavor leading to mob mentality of another, the yin to your yang. Maybe sit this one out, and TRY to learn from this. 6/
Ideas have consequences. You too made an idol of a man in Obama, don't lecture us about "Trumpism." Schools weren't teaching children (using tax dollars) to sing songs of praise to Trump, after all, but they sure did for Obama. You DID "built that." 7/
If America has a chance in hell, EVERYONE needs to take stock, and THINK (for a change): What kind of country do you want your children and grandchildren to inherit? Fuck those of us who are already middle aged and older. It's too late for us, but those kids deserve better. 8/
So, if you care about "the children," or "the poor," or "the common man" at all, shut up for a change, and lead with compassion, not spite. You won. Now what are you gonna do with all that power? Remember what I said at the start: You don't control the mob, and you never will./🧵

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.


This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."

There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?

It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."

The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.
