"What an ugly election!" TRANSLATION: OMG, the Republicans are finally fighting back!

[Little-Acorn]

It's a real hoot to see Democrats and their tame media whining about what an "ugly" election cycle this is.

The only difference between this one and previous national elections, is that when Democrats hand out their usual lies, diversions, and deceit... this time the Republicans are fighting back and refuting them! Using tactics similar to those Democrats have used for years. Even the top guy on the ticket is doing it for a change.

Democrats are reeling in shock and horror, and ratcheting up their rhetoric to hysterical levels.

This is an unprecedented event in living memory. Republicans have always been the "nice guys" in every election, hoping people will see their comparative civility as reason to elect them. When Democrats make up videos showing Paul Ryan pushing Granny over a cliff in a wheelchair, Republicans simply call it "nonsense" and let it go. When Democrats accuse Republicans of poisoning the water and air, dispossessing Senior citizens, and stealing food from children, Republicans ignore it with the contempt it deserves.

But now Republicans are digging into Democrats' past, showing how Democrat policies have failed time and again, refuting Democrat lies, and demonstrating the Dems' unfitness for elected office.

No wonder the campaign looks ugly. For the first time in a national election, the Republicans are fighting as fiercely as the Democrats.

The media is right. For a change. You can't get much uglier than that.

And the media just HATES it.

And about time we did.

The election is as ugly as they choose to make it.

'Perhaps' this election can be said to mirror the squalid, reprehensible psychology of the Democrats themselves. Nothing is too low and contemptible for them to commit themselves to.

Astounding that Democrats, liberals, profess to be open and fair-minded - yet accuse
Republicans of being close-minded.

Who fomented the 'Occupy' movement? Who encouraged the BLM riots and destruction,
who paid rioters and demonstrators (Soros)?

Sure as hell was not the Republicans.

The rules for Racicals...followed, and admired by CLINTON.[1]
“Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”
Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people.
“Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
“Never go outside the expertise of your people.”
It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
“Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters.
You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating.
It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
“A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more.
They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
“A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
Don’t become old news.
“Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”
Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance.
As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
“The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”
Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
"The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
“If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”
Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
“The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy.
Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
