Trump; A Contrived Puritanical Outrage in a Non-puritanical World.

An article in the Santa Cruz  Sentinel Faith Section was right when it commented how the Trump's man speak is a contrived puritanical outrage in a non-puritanical world. Set the Puritan Outrage Aside — Here Are Ways You can Actually Help Women As usual such a tact trivializes the real horrors that women face in today's world such as  exploitation, drug dependence, human trafficking, leading to sexual slavery (nothing that can remotely be considered consensual). Today's Democrats are acting out to "a couple of crass comments" like "lily-white handkerchief swooners". The fact is some women are attracted to rich, powerful and/or famous men and offer up their sexuality to be part of their lives; talking about it, even in a crass way, does not victimize these women as long as these sexual interactions are  consensual (ie what these women will let you do...) . However this is far and away different from women who, due to poverty, drug abuse,  and/or living in oppressive nations, are forced into human trafficking and sexual slavery. Let's not trivialized the suffering of these women,  in the  name of nothing more than demonizing a political opponent during an election.

What Trump said no where near reaches the level of a criminal threat

"Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment. If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people—maybe there is, I don’t know." Donald Trump

The Democrats and Hillary Clinton are obviously scared. Expect more firestorms based on throw away lines by Trump. Trump was talking about Clinton picking judges that will infringe on the 2nd Amendment (something prohibited). Then he says the 2nd Amendment people (which is really the citizenry of the US) may be able to do something about it.

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." So who exactly are the 2nd Amendment people? I would say they are those that believe the right of the people to bear arms are necessary for a free state.

What Trump said no where near reaches the level of a criminal threat; as a matter of fact, unless you believe that a call for 2nd Amendment advocates to vote against Hillary Clinton is a threat, what Trump said was not a threat at all) Below is the Corpus of CA 422 PC criminal threats.

"Any person who willfully threatens to commit a crime which
will result in death or great bodily injury to another person, with
the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in writing, or
by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as a
threat, even if there is no intent of actually carrying it out,
which, on its face and under the circumstances in which it is made 

is so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to
convey to the person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an
immediate prospect of execution of the threat, and thereby causes
that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own
safety"
.


BTW the Secret Service has pretty much ignored Trumps remarks, assuming it is just political rhetoric (contrary to CNN's reporting Trump has not been contacted by the Secret Service). As this former Secret Service explains to Hillary supporter Don Lemon of CNN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

So here you have CNN trumping up an off the cuff remark by lying this issue is so important the Secret Service has contacted Trump, then Lemon of CNN completely losing his mind when someone with experience in such matters, calls the idea that Trump had made a threat of violence against Hillary, laughable (which it is).

Trump and the Post Alinksy Era

The fact is both Democrats and Washington Republicans don't have a clue why Trump keeps picking up voters (a new poll now shows 37% of voting Latinos plan to vote for Trump). The reality is, if you don't view Trump through a politically correct prism, he is more comical than anything else; it has been rightly said that political correctness has eliminated humor. The left has been pushing this self censoring BS. For 40 years, since the left embraced the Saul Alinsky, the left no longer treats conservatives as the party with a different world view, instead the evil, xenophobic, racists, bullies, liars (etc). "RULE 12: 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. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.")  And never admit that you opponent has any positive traits, “Can you imagine in the arena of conflict charging that so-and-so is a racist bastard and then diluting the impact of the attack with qualifying remarks such as “He is a good churchgoing man, generous to charity, and a good husband”? This becomes political idiocy".

But the narrative has gotten too long in the tooth, and is now simply ignored by a majority of Americans (the left apparently forgot about RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.). Further the end result has been a government that ignores controls placed on government by the US Constitution, individual rights and wants of the electorate; all in the name as the need of the greater good; a euphemism for the oppression of collectivism. Further the main stream media pretty much ignores the torrent of lies that have come from both Obama and Hillary Clinton all the while demonizing Donald Trump. What you see is a very angry electorate that rabidly distrust politicians and the main stream media. The result is the more criticisms and personal attacks Trump gets, the more voters he garners. The end result is the left is at wits end becasue they have no plan "B", as all they have is lies ("Never admit to a lie or to having been wrong about something"), demonization and personal attacks, but we are now entering a post Alinsky era where the people have stopped listening to politicians and the media (in other words the people are no longer letting the left define their reality), and are looking for a candidate that has a worldview more sligned with their own, based on American exceptionalism and love of country.
