An example of winning through intimidation?

Robert Ringer once observed that the left has been winning through intimidation for years.

What does Ringer mean by winning through intimidation?  You'd have to read the book.  It isn't likely to be what you think it is.  That is one of his points.

Basically, this post by Ace may give you a hint about what Ringer means.  In short, Ace shows that Trump is not constrained from telling it like it is, even if that means he is not considered to be a "nice" person for having said so.

What is so wrong about seeking one's own self-interest?  If you are talked into thinking you are obligated to set aside your own self-interest just because someone may dislike you for it ( for not having been "nice"), then you have been "intimidated".  That is how the left wins, according to Ringer's short but sweet analysis.

Ringer thinks the left is going to be beaten badly, soon.  Rush seems to think so, too.  As for me, I am not so sure.  They are too many "ostriches" out there to be too confident.
