John Podhoretz Needs To Take A Chill Pill
Some serious pants-wetting by John "Nervous Nellie" Podhoretz in Commentary Magazine because of the Vagina march:
This is where the follow-through on Saturday’s “women’s marches” will tell the tale. It would be a terrible mistake for conservatives, Republicans, and Trump supporters to pooh-pooh this mass event, which happened simultaneously in several cities and towns, with a gross turnout dwarfing any mass protest in American history. Dismissing three million people taking to the streets nationwide would be an act of willful blindness, and ascribing the march’s success to Soros...It was everyone’s march. And it worked, I believe, for one reason: It had a simple message. That message: We don’t like Trump and his behavior toward women.Wait. It was "everyone's" march? That's laughable. It certainly wasn't "everyone's" march. It was billed as a "women's" march as if it somehow represented all women, but that's clearly false advertising. Do you know what women were not welcome at the march? Pro-life women. Even pro-life feminists. Also, women who voted for Trump. After all, if this is a "women's" march, don't women who voted for Trump get to be counted as women, too? A better, more honest way to advertise this march would have been to call it the "Progressive Women's Anti-Trump March." Second, what does he mean, "it worked"? What, exactly, worked? Are Republicans running around trying to placate women because of this march? Not that I can see. Trump is moving forward with the business at hand, and there's no indication that the new administration has given it one iota of attention other than the most bland, say-nothing answers when asked about it by the press. And has Mr. Podhoretz seen how much these hysterical women are being laughed at on social media? Did he see the photos of the vagina costumes, p*ssy hats, and nonsensical signage? This is not a serious movement. If it were a serious movement, if these women had serious, legitimate grievances, the whole tenor of the protests would be very different. And they would've cleaned up after themselves afterwards. The protests certainly made a lot of noise, I'll give them that. Of course, being amplified through the megaphone of the MSM helped a lot. But even so, Mr. Podhoretz should not confuse loudness with depth.
One of these women is oppressed and fighting back. The other is a twat. Literally. pic.twitter.com/lKQRe9344r

Third, "We hate Trump" is not a "simple message" that "worked". It' a temper tantrum thrown by progressive women who didn't succeed in electing their preferred candidate. You can't build a mass movement on a temper tantrum.
This is where one possible analogy to the Tea Party protests of 2009 and 2010 might hold. The Tea Party was about Obama’s rapid expansion of the size of the federal government and the fear of a growing Leviathan....If Democrats can use the Women’s [March] as a comparable accelerant to recruit candidates, particularly for the House, who have real connections to the Republican districts in which they are running and can frame their bids as a means of stopping Trump from working his will with an all-Republican Congress, they might really have something here.Podhoretz needs to calm down. No, this isn't going anywhere. And the (now defunct)Tea Party is a really poor analogy. The Tea Party had a specific list of complaints, and specific remedies to address those complaints. It was logically coherent. The anti-Trump women's march was anything but. A better analogy is the "Occupy" movement, another Soros-funded series of manufactured "mass" demonstrations made to appear spontaneous. But other than resentment at "the 1%" and "Wall Street" and "big corporations", there wasn't any kind of agenda, and the various left-wing groups that made up the "Occupy" movement spent as much time squabbling with each other as they did actual protesting. Which is kind of what happened with the "women's" march. And this is not a coincidence. Modern left-wing movements are unfocused collections of disparate groups whose goals are not necessarily aligned (I would argue that the last successful progressive protest movement was the one against the Vietnam War. Perhaps the anti-Iraq war protests might have been successful, but a diffuse bunch of gay rights, feminist rights, environmental rights, and minority rights groups all glommed onto the protests like parasites and introduced their own competing agendas, which only succeeded in killing the host). What happened to Occupy? Well, it pretty much dried up and blew away. There was really nothing to hold it together and no coherent message that could be translated into legislative action. I suspect that the same fate is in store for the current protests. In a couple of weeks no one will care. In a month, it'll be forgotten, as the MSM moves on to yet another set of anti-Trump talking points in their ongoing effort to delegitimize his presidency. Kurt Schlichter's latest Townhall column, which you should read in its entirely, trenchantly disposes of Podhoretz' crappy analogy:
Can the left pull off creating its own mass movement? Maybe. If it does, the Democrat Tea Party would not be another Tea Party, but simply a cohort of foot soldiers activated by the hyped up threat of Donald Trump. The left wants to use the current situation to pump up the enthusiasm of its base, while the Tea Party (and then, later, the GOP that it changed) expanded the base. Anyone involved in the Tea Party knows people who changed from liberal to conservative because of Obama. It seems unlikely that Donald Trump appointing Mad Dog Mattis, gutting Obamacare, freezing federal hiring, and approving Keystone is going to drive a lot of conservatives left.So calm down, Mr. Podhoretz. The adults are in charge now.

I still have no idea what they want other than to shriek about how much they hate Trump.
The only women there with a legitimate grievance were the women from Flint who pointed out that Flint still doesn't have potable water. But guess what? Even that, which is a human grievance not just a woman's one but whatever, got co-opted into Flint and Palestine drinkable water is a human right.
*throws things*
I shall just pass over that those women were asking the government to fix the water problem in Flint that the government created.

This can be done without necessarily giving in to larger demands. The danger lies in completely ignoring. That's what they did with the Tea Party and it galvanized us.
If it's communism they want, well, they can pound sand. But there may be ways to pull the disparate groups from the march, or give them something politically sweeping that kills a lot of the momentum. I know, I know, Trump could give them the moon and they'd still protest-we can't help that.
The best option may be simply an improved economy.

=======================
That Crowder video from the Austin march was best when he asked the women for specific policy goals. They couldn't come up with anything except one woman who said that she didn't want abortion limited.
The rest stammered and came up with nothing.
The lack of any intellectual backing doesn't mean that it's going to go away, but I think it does mean that it's going to have very little impact. It's also going to devolve into a lot of in-fighting if it continues.
Without that intellectual foundation, it becomes anarchic with everyone looking for their own thing. And, on top of that, a lot of the same people that milked the individual members of the Tea Party for cash will do the same thing to the individual members of the Women's March Movement, or whatever.
The Tea Party was diffuse in organization but relatively coherent in message and goals. This seems to not be.

She makes a very good case that it isn't the raw number of liberals and fellow travelers we need to focus on but where they are located. Specifically, in about 10 large cities where they either dominate the state like NY and CA or where they are outnumbered by conservatives and our fellow travelers in states like GA.
It doesn't matter how big they win NY or CA, they still only get the allotted number of electoral votes and with Trumps focus on keeping out illegals who turn into Democrat voters one way or the other the whole "demographics is destiny" doesn't hold nearly the power we have been beaten over the head with for years.
Good stuff.
http://tinyurl.com/hjbqxb3
I also saw a graph the other day, can't remember where, that showed that roughly 80% of the women who went to the protests came from states Obama and Hillary won.
If Trump is remotely successful they aren't nearly the threat we were all told they were even a couple months ago.

That's the one thing both the Democrats and Republicans agreed on.
Many of those people were drawn there under false pretenses and with little idea of what these radicals had in store. They brought their daughters and many were throughly embarrassed by the behavior and message.

It was clear to anyone who'd read his statement, rather than just the headline.
His thing was that the left had failed, repeatedly, over the past few decades, and that Trump might finally convince the progs that they're not getting it.

============================
I don't disagree with your final conclusion, but I do disagree with the above comment and I think the comparison to ISIS slave auctions is way off base and even sort of nutty.
This is politics, not Yazidi slave outrage, and the women who marched were trying to motivate an anti-Trump, anti-GOP political movement. I think they were successful at doing that, and the dumbshits the march was trying to persuade (the same people who are being targeted by non-stop 100% anti-Trump MSM broadcasts) were definitely affected by the march.
This is an issue for Trump, IMO. He's alienating young women especially, if my daughters friends are any indication. I'm not at all sure what he can do about this, except keep on performing at a high level and doing great stuff, but he definitely has a political problem with these women.

This can be done without necessarily giving in to larger demands. The danger lies in completely ignoring. That's what they did with the Tea Party and it galvanized us.
If it's communism they want, well, they can pound sand. But there may be ways to pull the disparate groups from the march, or give them something politically sweeping that kills a lot of the momentum. I know, I know, Trump could give them the moon and they'd still protest-we can't help that.

Caving in to their demands as a way of mollifying them is the worst possible strategy - because that only inspires them to be MORE "galvanized," since it hs now proven to be a successful strategy.
No, quite the opposite: Ignore them. These people are psychic vampires, and they derive all their energy from "getting a reaction" out of people like you. If you ignore them -- no matter how desperate, threatening or extreme their public displays of emotions may be -- they lose energy and momentum.
The best option may be simply an improved economy.
Bingo! Now you've hit the nail on the head.

CRT makes a good point. I have been thinking about this in the larger sense.
Trumps first few days have been great- but how do we make it last? A motivated lefty could come in and then immediately do what he is doing in reverse. I think we should give Trump a good year, and then push through Executive order reform in order to try to make our GAINZ stick.

1. "Trump is silencing dissent" - referring to the National Park Service twitter stuff.
- Why do they tweet about anything other than park hours, camp ground spots, ranger programs and shark sightings?
2. "Trump is a serial sexual abuser of women" - really do you have personal knowledge about this?
- Can I ask - exactly how many times did you vote for Ted Kennedy? Did you know that Ted Kennedy LITERALLY killed a woman?
3. "Trump is trying to silence the press and prevent reporters from doing their jobs!"
- So you want journalists to do their jobs now? Ever heard of Sharyl Atkinsson or James Rosen? I didn't think so.
I suspected many of them were insane but now its confirmed.

Well, congress would be the obvious choice.

If you shape your policy around "but they'll me (racist, sexist homophobe, bigoted, nazi, hater, etc)" then you'll get nothing done and cede all power to the loudest angry voice.
I cook dinner for my house, two brothers and me. one brother is the world's finickiest guy; literally nothing I cook is good enough. He always has some complaint, sometimes contradictory: "you should fry it next time. You shouldn't have fried it."
You know what I learned? Ignore him entirely, because nothing works. I get the same results if I try to listen or if I don't. Trump, and indeed every Republican, is in the same boat.
Since literally nothing you can do will avoid being called that anyway, its best to just ignore them entirely and demonstrate what that tactic results in.
I don't like this situation, I don't like the tactic. But that is the corner that everyone has been pushed into: either get nothing done or ignore them all.

How many people at this event - or the young women allegedly at political risk due to whatever exactly it is that is supposed to be the underlying "cause" here - are in any way reachable?
They're ignorant, they wallow in the idiot soup of "news" and pop culture, probably have Hitler Youth-level cartoon reality filling their brains in place of knowledge or understanding or critical reasoning ability. They can listen to NPR without guffawing, yelling, or shaking their head.
They're the nation's anchor, dragging it backwards and down, relentlessly, to be less free, less prosperous, and less secure.
Alienating them is not a subject on the agenda. Out-voting them, fixing the damage they've done to our institutions to restore them as safeguards against precisely the poison they offer - those are on the agenda.

Also, they hit upon defining policy choices as "good vs. evil" as a way of making their followers feel righteous and, also, keep them from stepping out of line.
If you raise someone to think a different idea about corporate taxation, marriage law or immigration is "evil," for the most part they will never consider another opinion (and will shun people who do).

This march isn't going to stop anyone who voted for Trump from supporting him. Because it's not fundamentally any different than what we've heard the entire campaign. Does Podhoretz think that after seeing this march, suddenly a bunch of Trump supporters are going to go "wtf I hate Trump now"?
The only way Trump loses support from his core group is by not doing what he promised to do. Put another way: the only way Trump loses support from his supporters is by caving into the demands of the left.
Coincidentally, this is exactly what Podhoretz is suggesting Trump do. The proper response here is exactly what Trump is doing. "Fuck you, I won."

So it's not a question of making permanent Trump's EOs, if you're talking about the ones so far. They simply provide instruction on implementation of policy within the law. The laws are already there.
This is the "executive lawlessness" I always whine about being corrected (at least in these cases).
You can't make policy emphasis permanent. And the mechanism for making enforcement of law permanent is the constitution itself, with Congress' powers of $ and impeachment.
The refusal of Congress to use its powers voids every scheme you could come up with. The powers are there. The challenge has been forcing *Congress* to use its powers, to make sure the executive follows the laws.

"Occupy" movement, another Soros-funded series of manufactured "mass"
demonstrations made to appear spontaneous. But other than resentment at
"the 1%" and "Wall Street" and "big corporations", there wasn't any kind
of agenda, and the various left-wing groups that made up the "Occupy"
movement spent as much time squabbling with each other as they did
actual protesting.
They can't proffer a solution up front. That would give away the game.
They agitate to destroy, so that when all is said and done, their true goals can be presented as a fait acompli.

It also had the advantage of being complete crap. No normal human is going to be upset about a comment about a golddigger, a non-event of a braggy joke from 10 years ago. Those that do pretend it was an actual "thing" are lefty asswipes anyway.

You may very well be right. There is the question of how much of this was preaching to the choir. And the fact that there was no coherent policy goal makes me wonder what difference any of it really made.
How many women were really fired up about seeing their genitalia all over? Does that change minds?

Yeah, well, you know what? We just had an election where Trump and his behavior toward women was well-known and one of the factors in the vote.
And you lost.
So all you're really demonstrating is that you don't care what other people think and that you want to impose your version of reality on others no matter how the vote goes. In other words, you're a tyrant. Message received, thanks for helping people who were ambivalent about Trump to understand the alternative.

==========================
The issue seems social, more than political. Their friends (almost uniformly now) are just appalled by Trump. They got there first with the Propaganda Press making up story after story on sexual harassment, and then following up with the Propaganda Press outrage over the transition and the first days in office.
No honeymoon at all for Trump. In fact, the Press is his open enemy, and it's having an effect. When the march happened it drew lots of their friends, and their friends mothers, and that kind of vague reinforcement has an impact.
Beyond that, no, they can't say specifically what they don't like (policy-wise). But the propaganda is having an impact.

People wonder why superhero movies and fantasy stories are so popular. Its illustrated best by the film Last Action Hero where the villain explains to Schwarzenegger's character why he loves the real world: "in this world, the bad guys can win!"
I want to put on a cape and fly down there, beat the living crap out of all those guys and snuggle her close in my arms to fly her to safety. Instead all I can do is pray as she's raped over and over by some scumbag carpet banger.

BUT, nonetheless, I wouldn't totally dismissed these bitter knitters -- they have money and they are pissed the hell off that they won't live to see a female POTUS (or if they do, she'll be a Republican). Which is really kind of funny when you think about it because most of these idiots are the same hags who *stopped* Hillary from becoming the first female POTUS in 2008 when they dumped her for Obama. LOL Just desserts.

Mainly white, middle-class, pampered ladies who want to signal to their friends how hip they are, and how much they 'care' about others.
All while dressing up in costumes, accessorizing appropriately, and afterwards celebrating with a nice dinner and a glass of wine.
These ladies are not going to be doing any hard work creating a 'movement'. They couldn't be bothered cleaning up after themselves as the mountains of trash they left behind will attest.

Malignant narcissism just like their boyfriend Obama and Clinton. The world revolves around them and wearing genital costumes is more about getting attention and camera whoring than sincere protests. They stomp their feet, scream, yell obscenities because their fan-girl didn't win an election. What does FAB do? She tweets a message of support for them.

I noted this many times in connection with the amazing recess appointments debacle a few years ago. In any previous time in US history, if any president had tried what Obama did, it would have been 15 minutes before a united Senate leadership (both parties) had compelled a full surrender.
Instead? A fucking LAWSUIT (yes, they won, but if you understand the constitutional structure and history, you realize they this is fairly cold comfort).
One twist to my earlier comment I left out for brevity (ha!): judicial lawlessness. Bad enough with a lawless executive, and an irresponsible Congress refusing to rein it in - but when we have the orwellian destruction of language and common sense (a la Roberts and Kennedy at SCOTUS, and of course all their four authoritarian colleagues, plus many many idiots throughout the federal appeals sytem), it's hard to know where to even begin to restore rule of law.

The "behavior" is something that never happened. Just words, spoken as jokes, not actions.
They take something, anything, even nothing, and then make up this enemy which exists only as an image they put in the minds of their followers and idiots from "our side." Then they convince them that only the Left, the Democrats, can save them from this fantasy monster which they planted in their minds to activate learned emotional responses which the left emplanted/educated as mental time bombs long ago.

To some extent we had a few years where Congress lost its nerve. The Rs came to think that they couldn't win a showdown with an Obama that had full-on MSM backing. His being Black factored into this.
Not sure how much this is sui generis. It echoes Woodrow Wilson, who, once he was out of office, everyone wanted to forget what had gone on.

- So no surprise they managed a turnout.
But notice that our side didn't make trouble for them. We were not interested in disrupting all those sad, sore pussies.
On Inauguration Day, however, many on their side felt a primal need to seriously fuck with our celebration. They did their best (and FAILED) to shut down our party. - In their deep dark blue town.
Chew on it.
