Right v Left is a phony model



So there was something on the Bongino show that caught my attention, but on the other hand, it's probably no big deal. That's because there's just too many people who won't take the next step.

Bongino said that the GOP needs to stop using the lefties language. Well, that's all been said before. Limbaugh said it. The GOP adopts all their premises, and then goes out and repeats it. So Bongino is now saying it too.

So have I said it on this here blog. There's something that they just keep right on doing, EVEN after saying that we shouldn't adopt their premises. One of these premises is that the choice is between right and left. (As Ronald Reagan said in "The Speech") As I've mentioned over and over again, this is adopting one of the commies favorite "gaslighting" tricks.

If you don't agree with them, they'll call you a fascist. That's the trap you're walking into every time you refer to yourself as being on the "right". The terminology favors the left of course. That's why they use it, for crying out loud. If they use the terminology, it is for a reason. The reason is to accuse you of being "extreme". If you are "extreme" and on the "right" ( using their terminology and their premises), you've just called yourself a fascist.

It gives the squishes an "out". They don't want to be "extreme", because they don't want to be called "fascist". But it is awfully helpful to the left to have their "opposition" hamstringing themselves right out the gate. Funny thing, it almost looks like it is intentional. It gives the squishes cover for not actually opposing the left. By the way, if the left calls themselves on the left, then calling them "left" is fair game. Likewise, if you call yourself "right", it is also fair game to call you on the "right". It is, after all, your own choice of models you use in your political analysis. You can't complain when you put six bullets in the political gun and point it at your own head. The commies will get you to pull the trigger every time.

If you want a real opposition to one party rule, then you cannot use their premises and terminology. But so many do.

It is frustrating. But when Bongino, who uses the terminology that I'm referring to, (as being on the "right"), it is especially frustrating to being so close to having an influential member be SO CLOSE to getting over the gaslighting tricks the pinkos love to use.

But there it is. The GOP does it over and over again, and the left uses the tactic over and over again because it works over and over again. Bongino says nothing will change until the GOP does better, but unless they do this, they will never do any differently than what they've been doing.
