Mourning In Marxist America
$1:
Today is a day of great jubilation and celebration for us Americans who have suffered silently under the tyranny of financial repression, the suffocation of political correctness and the treachery of globalization for far too long. No matter what President Trump does during his first term, change is coming. That should give all of us hope that we can actually believe in this time.
Unlike previous elections in living memory, however, the losing side has not capitulated. They have not retreated to lick their wounds or re-evaluate their positions. They are doubling-down. The grieving process the neo-Marxist left in America is going through is not one that will lead to insight and growth. Instead, liberals are descending into a spiral of rabid emotionalism due to their obsessive belief that they have been personally violated by the election of President Trump.
When Obama was inaugurated in 2009, there were no violent protests, riots and mass demonstrations. We have already seen the left try to violently disrupt the celebrations leading up to President Trump’s inauguration. Prominent voices across the left have been calling for street violence and assassination since November.
For the left, they haven’t just lost an election. They’ve suffered the type of humiliating betrayal which becomes a vendetta burned into communal memory over time. Like Orthodox Serbians commemorating the Battle of Kosovo in 1389 or Shia Muslims flagellating themselves to mourn the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali in 680, the American left is not going to accept this electoral outcome in the way Democrats and Republicans have done in the past.
The reason liberals are reacting so personally and so violently to the election of President Trump is the religious basis of their beliefs about race, identity, gender and culture. From an early age, American students are taught that the foundation of righteousness is to demonstrate at all times a universalist attitude toward any aspect of a person’s identity. Overlaid with this is the incessant mantra that Christian white males have an innate and unfair privilege because they have monopolized violence over all other groups throughout history. This is a faith-based assertion. To progress through the American education system unimpeded and particularly to gain a higher degree, it must not be questioned.
Neo-Marxism in America is not just a political ideology or a philosophical viewpoint. It is a cult.
Unlike the Christian belief in redemption through faith in Jesus, for the Western neo-Marxist there is no redemption for the original sins of whiteness, straightness and maleness. Constant penance is required; incessant signaling of loathing for one’s own ancestors and expressions of admiration for the achievements of other groups. If you’re a straight, white, Christian male in liberal America, you’ve got a lot of virtue signaling to do before you can be accepted in polite company. That acceptance will always be conditional on your continued mental obeisance.
This is not the America that our forefathers labored and died to build and defend. It is an import, a European disease which spread along the coasts of America particularly after World War II. The neo-Marxist culture that liberals have created in America does not fit in the land of the free and the home of the brave. It is a slavish, collectivist and spineless mentality that rejects reason and truth in favor of dogma and groupthink.
Now that President Trump has been inaugurated, the danger is that the right will become complacent. Having thrown off the crippling constraints of conservatism and elected a president who has promised to butcher all the sacred cows of neo-Marxist political correctness and end policies leading to white demographic replacement, many right-thinking men and women will be tempted to believe the battle has been fought and won. This is how the left always bounces back, their ideological dogmas updated and their ranks renewed by a fresh generation who have been programmed by school and TV to believe that Christian white men stole the wealth of the world and maintain an invisible patriarchy which ensures their privilege.
One of the factors which historians attribute to America’s defeat in Vietnam was the inability of the US air force to destroy the factories which were manufacturing the weapons used by the Viet Cong. Throughout Russia and China, munitions were being created as quickly as US forces could destroy them on the Vietnamese battlefields. In this way partial warfare always meant only partial victories and thus ultimate defeat for the US.
This parallels the culture war that the right has been waging in America now for decades. Christians in America have been fighting fair against the creeping Marxist menace infecting the minds of our children through indoctrination, yet have been hampered by our inability to strike the opponent at their manufacturing base and destroy the left’s ability to keep losing the argument but keep on winning the culture war through fresh recruits.
This situation will continue until the sane and silent majority of Americans do something to stamp out Marxism in our education system. Academic tenure should be no protection for preachers of hate, and the same approaches should be applied to radical professors as to radical imams in extremist mosques. The difference between education and indoctrination is that one creates thinkers who question and the other creates fanatics who can’t. The screaming faces at President Trump’s inauguration show us how well the Marxist madrassas of America have done their job.

That's right, look at all the Presidents who had to call a press conference on a weekend, just so their spokesmen could scream at the press that their party was bigger than the last guy's party.
That's really important for the media to report, even when it's obviously not true, otherwise they're "fake news"
What a giant lying childish little bitch this guy is and his supporters are no better. Way get off to a good start Donald.

Like I'd said about the TV ratings, they don't take into account the growing numbers of people who don't view things on TV anymore.

Though some cried while others cheered, both sides tuned into to watch President Trump’s inauguration in sizable numbers – record-breaking numbers, in fact. The event has broken new ground, becoming the largest, single live news event that content delivery network Akamai has ever hosted, the company says, following an analysis of its live video data.
According to Akamai, live video streaming of the inauguration peaked at 8.7 Tbps at 12:04 ET during the opening of President Trump’s speech, up from 7.9 Tbps at the start of the inaugural oath. This surpassed the previous record of 7.5 Tbps, which was achieved on Election Day (Nov. 8, 2016) during the evening.
That’s not all that surprising of course. Trump’s inauguration was a mid-day event, meaning many were likely watching from computers at work or were live streaming the news via their mobile devices. Election Day live streams may have peaked in the evening, but many people were home and watching on their TVs during this time, which could have impacted the numbers.
Akamai tries to give this new record some historical context by comparing it to the 2009 inauguration, which reached 1.1 Tbps, and the 2011 Royal Wedding, which hit 1.3 Tbps. However, looking at live video data from several years ago isn’t a viable comparison. Much has changed in the time since, including the rise of HD video streaming, which demands higher bitrates, and an increased number of live video viewers.
The latter can be attributed to many factors – the near-ubiquity of mobile devices and increases in broadband speeds and mobile broadband. For example, the average connection speed in the U.S. during the ’09 inauguration was 4.1 Mbps. As of Akamai’s Q3 2016 State of the Internet Report, it’s 15.2 Mbps.
Plus, there are now more video sites and services where people can watch such content. This ties into the larger cord cutting trend which sees people shifting away from traditional TV viewing and spending more time online.
However, when comparing the inauguration with other more recent events, it still came out on top. For example, the 2016 Euro soccer tournament final peaked at 7.3 Tbps and the Rio women’s team gymnastics final hit 4.5 Tbps.
“The presidential inauguration is the latest in a series of record-breaking live, online video streaming events that we have supported over the last year,” said Bill Wheaton, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Media at Akamai, in a statement. “More people than ever are watching video online, and it’s being done across more devices at increasingly higher levels of quality.”
As one of the world’s largest content delivery network (CDN) service providers, Akamai has insight into live video trends like these. Its customers include over 15 of the world’s largest broadcasters, who use its service for live streaming. In other words, if something breaks records on its network, it’s fair to say it was a significant event.
As Akamai also pointed out, during the presidential inauguration, media and entertainment and broadcast traffic to U.S. users was around 6.4 times higher than the same time during the previous two days.
But as Wheaton’s above note implies, Trump’s inauguration speaks more to the growing trend of live video consumption, rather some indication of the president’s popularity as compared with others. It does, however, speak to the newsworthiness of the event itself, given that record viewership numbers means people on both sides of the table were live streaming – not just Trump supporters.

If we should be mad about something it shouldn't be over some dick-measuring contest over ratings or crowd numbers. It should be that Trump went all snowflake and bitched and whined about the inaugural attendance numbers at CIA HQ, right in front of the CIA's memorial Wall of Heroes dedicated to American agents and operatives who lost their lives in service to their country from the early days of the Cold War through to the fight against ISIS. This, of all inappropriate places, is where that odious thin-skinned narcissistic motherfucker decides to have another one of his "it's all about ME!" tantrums. Fuck him, forever.

LMAO "neuters" him eh? Once again Deplorables stating THE EXACT OPPOSITE of reality. That interview has to be one of her lowest moments, she probably went home with a bag on her head after she blurted out that "alternative facts" line that's gone viral and is going to haunt this administration as long as it's in office.

Yup. I have....unusual ideas on certain things but there's no way in hell I'll ever go along with any of this circus, not even if by accident they end up doing the right thing every once in a while. On too many things they're acting like a bunch of malignant idiots.
