The basic strategy used by today's more radical left wing activists was laid down on paper by Saul Alinsky in his book "Rules For Radicals". In his book, he explains that protesters should be relentless, and they should protest as long as possible, while destabilizing and upsetting the local routines and systems as much as possible. But most importantly, he makes it very clear that the opposition(no matter who they are), are ALWAYS to be characterized as "evil and immoral".
These leftist protesters are fulfilling Alinsky's desires. Their actions are orchestrated by leftist elites.

That's only the beginning. Its amazing to read some of the ideas and strategies for ideological advancement. On election night, after it was clear Trump had won, Chris Matthews let his true feelings slip out once again(like when he was thankful that hurricane Sandy hit right b4 the 2012 election), and this time he made the simple comment that "Hillary didn't scare people enough".

That's another Alinsky tactic that's universal on the left. The media are now focusing like a laser on any little thing they can use to deligitimize and discredit Trump's presidency. The left and the media have NO plan to wait and see how he governs. They will try to destroy his presidency, one exaggerated or fabricated scandal at a time!

The American people NEED to know about this type of common and intentional sabotage and destabilization for political gain, by the extreme left, the Democratic party, and most disturbingly, by the mainstream media!

I read something about advice to protesters being given of late. One that stuck in my mind was that signs shouldn't be printed and all messages shouldn't be alike. Individual cardboard and paint or markers...all different wording to try to show lack of formal organization.
 
Has anyone besides a conservative online poster ever read a single word by this Alinsky guy?

I, unfortunately, was in Santa Cruz, CA during an anti-Trump protest on Veterans Day. Ninety percent of the signs were commercially printed and said "F... TRUMP" (spelled out of course). I was really feeling the love from all of the privileged white kids going to UC Santa Cruz on their parents dime. They were of course blocking the roads, and most commerce in the area. This protest was obviously coordinated by someone with money (Soros?). My faith in America was restored the next morning when I witnessed a small group of veterans with American flags and POW signs parading quietly down the sidewalk.

I did. It is kinda a conservative bible that they blame on liberals containing advice to do what political organizers have done since there was such a thing as politics. The founding fathers used the rules without ever knowing they was an evil liberal plot.
 
So, cupcakes, here’s the point. When you need to take a “mental health” day to recover from the election, when you continue using the phrases “trigger warning” and “safe space” when conservatives speak, when you create silly “safety pin” campaigns, when people die because your “protest” blocked an ambulance route to the hospital, when you continue to label any speech that disagrees with your worldview as hate speech, you are patching the gaping holes in the foundation of GOP HQ.

Keep it up, please. If you do, by Inauguration Day the Trump administration will have the support of an united party and, with a GOP-led Congress, roll back the destructive policies of the Obama administration.

It will take a year, but the LEFT is so stupid..... Trump and his Army are going to CREAM them as we used to say on Kentucky Drive back in the late 60's early 70's if they dont change tack.

What inspired you to read it? Did you break down and read it just to finally know what these guys were going on about?

There's more and more evidence coming out that, as usual, the protesters are NOT part of a simple grass roots uprising that sprung up organically. Its organized as a top-down strategy to create the 'perception' that these are mostly just every day people who are protesting of their own accord.

The left have been previously caught bussing in 'professional protesters', who are probably paid to be transported from place to place. But in big cities, theyd also have teachers, professors and other activists who would order their students, or call other activists from a local list, to show up.

They are also coached on what to do, what to say, what type of rhetoric to write on posters, etc.

Americans of ALL political persuasions should start taking time to infiltrate the protesters, and/or join their protest groups and get into their communication loops, then develop proof of how they seek to deceive the average citizen. Then expose them! But that last part would be difficult, because CNN certainly won't air any evidence that exposes the very movement that they support!

I read his book as part of my community organizing class. The weird thing is both the right and the left use the exact same tactics. Then they accuse each other of using those tactics, seemingly unaware of the extent to which their side uses them.

Conspiratorial nonsene. The protesters are Americans who are scared and angry. Maybe you didn't notice, but the country is kind of divided and inflamed right now.
