Copied from someone who copied it from a very conservative friend. This is that friends explanation of why they accepted the obscene and lying Donald Trump.

"Just a short note prior to you reading this article. Of all of the hundreds of articles written about Donald J. Trump this one is by far the most authentic. No matter your politics you will have a better understanding of our President and our politics after reading this.

Very interesting theory on Trump's success.

The mayor of Livermore California explains Trump’s popularity and success. This is perhaps the best explanation for Trump's popularity.

Marshall Kamena is a registered Democrat and was elected mayor of Livermore, CA.. He ran on the democratic ticket as he knew a Bay Area city would never vote for a Republican. He is as conservative as they come. He wrote the following:

Trump’s 'Lack of Decorum, Dignity, and Statesmanship' By Marshall Kamena, Mayor of Livermore, CA.

My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #NeverTrumpers) constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”

Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency.

We tried statesmanship.

Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized “collegiality” as John McCain?

We tried propriety – has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney?

And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob.

I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.

I don’t see anything “dignified” in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks.

I don’t see anything “statesman-like” in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent.

Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the
universities – 'till today.

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.

With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.

During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.

Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”

General George Patton was a vulgar-talking.. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!”

That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics. That book is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a book so essential to the Liberals’ war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton’s senior thesis.

It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.

Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the fake media” — and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet
Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN.. He made it personal.

Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as “the most powerful weapon of all.”... Most importantly, Trump’s tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. They need to respond.

This leaves them with only two choices. They can either “go high” (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery.

The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve. It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive.

Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church.

Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration’s weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration’s cover-up.

So, to my friends on the Left — and the #NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do.

These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years.

So, say anything you want about this president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!

Please pass this on...over and over, and again and again..."

Gee, I wonder where he gets his information from?

One of the most long winded straw man arguments I ever read, adding up to one giant gish gallop argument. Punctuated with numerous lies. Very convincing if one already believes the left is evil incarnate and is unfamiliar with critical thinking; to anyone else, somewhere between sad and pathetic.

Oh my. You know why I hated school so much? Coz I had to read a lot of BS so irrelevant to life. You can't make me read this.

Not much one can hope to move with that long list of leftist offenses and crimes. Explaining how wrong he is would take weeks and be unproductive. Therefore, we must accept what we can not change. I'm on record having already accepted that we are at war and I was a soldier so have an exit strategy. I do not intend to try staying in this illusion so will speak my mind. If the gQp come for me then I'm not getting out alive (but hadn't thought that I would anyway).

What a load of BS.

I hope all of you realize that this was posted under the idea that we should know thy enemy.

Except that we are all too aware that these a-holes had gone over the cliff some time ago. The real question is if there is anything to salvage, because otherwise, it's just cold civil war. Until it turns hot.

Copied from someone who copied it from someone. Yep, that's a legitimate right wing news source.

What a load of bullcrap.

PS: "the quiet dignity of George Bush"?

Interesting point, fortunately there is this thing called Google, it was indeed a column by a conservative author in 2017:

"The post was written by conservative author Evan Sayet and posted July 13, 2017, on townhall.com."

[politifact.com]

sorry, but this is blathering rw idiocy.

Not that conservatives have credibility, but this is a perfect reason why. Absurd silliness:
"the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob."
"the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety."
"Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”"
"The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. "

So that makes it OK to embrace a traitor who has been proven to have conspired with Putin to rig the 2016 election? Sorry, but that makes the GQP traitors, every one, in my book.

The Philistines like Trump because he's even stupider than they are!

Couldn’t finish reading it. What a load of crap! How many Conservatives were mowed down at Kent State? How many useless hearings were held by Conservatives on Benghazi and came up with nothing? How many cops were arracher by dogs at the civil rights marches? How many white communities were massacred like the ohe black communities in Tulsa and Texas. I’m not sure what trash can this guy is getting his “facts” from, but it sounds like the barfatorium of Right Wing, ultra nationalist history benders.

The entire letter is a crock of shit, a fire nozzle of disinformation and petty right wing grievances.
Trust me right wingers specialize in resentment, misplaced or not.
They're mad that people don't believe in religion, they're mad that women have been empowered which is why Texas just banned abortion in their effort to bring themselves back into the era of Oliver Cromwell and the round heads. (google it)
They loved Trump because Trump is angry, entitled, and racist.
Cruelty was always Trumps most attractive feature for these people.

Well said!
