Moving Forward, It’s Alinsky Rule No. 8: Keep The Pressure On
Description
Maybe it’s because what I have been screaming for the last twenty years is finally being heard (the overnight show I am on is broadcast on Salem affiliate stations), or maybe not, but the notion that the Speaker of the House mentioned litigation regarding the Democrats' abandonment of their primary election-sanctioned nominee is a hopeful development.
In a recent article, Alinsky Rule No. 4: Make The Enemy Live Up To Its Own Book Of Rules, I asked, “Where are the attorneys of the conservative movement? Shouldn’t they be filing a litany of lawsuits on behalf of the disenfranchised Democrat voters seeing to force the DNC to have fidelity to their own party rules?”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), touched on this very thought immediately after the announcement by the White House (we still haven’t heard directly from Joe Biden) that Mr. Biden was standing down from the Democrat Party’s nomination for president in the 2024 election.
As reported by Emily Hallas of The Washington Examiner:
“During an interview Sunday morning with CNN’s State of the Union, Johnson gave his assessment of Democrats’ chances to do a last-minute switch at the top of the presidential ballot.
“The Republican speaker noted that Democrats are facing ‘a real problem’ because ‘every state has their own election system,’ making it difficult for Democrats to end Biden’s bid for a second term.
“Johnson says Democrats should expect ‘legal hurdles’ from states, because ‘Joe Biden was chosen after a long democratic process by 14 million people.’”
Indeed, Biden himself, while flailing for political survival, claimed as much in a letter to Democrats before he received the knives in the back, saying:
“I received over 14 million votes, 87 percent of the votes cast across the entire nominating process…The voters of the Democratic Party have voted. They have chosen me to be the nominee of the party. Do we now just say this process didn’t matter? That the voters don’t have a say?”
Once again, the Democrats themselves (this time in Biden’s own words) have delivered a potent game plan to Republicans that will keep the Left in chaos well into their convention if Republicans can get out of their own way. It epitomizes Alinsky Rule No. 4: Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
This segways into another of Alinsky’s rules, one that must be utilized to the fullest immediately and through the General Election in November: Rule No. 8 – Keep the pressure on.
In keeping the pressure on, Republicans, conservatives, Libertarians, Constitution-loving independents, and real Democrats, have a variety of tools/issues at their disposal to achieve the goal, the goal being keeping the radically Marxist-Left that has hijacked the Democrat Party in disorganized chaos through the General Election.
Arrow Number One
The first arrow in the quiver should be a litany of lawsuits on behalf of disenfranchised Democrat Primary Election voters claiming a breach of contract by the Democrat National Committee in their unilateral move to force Joe Biden from the ticket.
Taking a page from the Progressive (read: neo-Bolshevik) playbook, Republican/Conservative lawyers should shop for federal courts/judges in multiple jurisdictions to achieve injunctions that will force the DNC to abide by their established nomination process. This would keep the various camps within the Democrat Party hierarchy from being able to coalesce behind one prospective candidate to introduce in Kamala Harris' place at an open convention.
Arrow Number Two
The second arrow in the quiver comes in the form of narrative control, which Re
