When Did the American Left Jump the Shark?

The Democraps weren't always this bad, but when did they go past the point of no return? I personally think it was after Ferguson.

It's cultural marxism. They've been doing it for a long time. This is the logical conclusion.

Bu- but I thought it was good that we brought women into the workplace and changed immigration laws so that America would stop having a White majority

Nope. Everything after 1960 was a mistake.

For me it came to a head at the DNC- seeing the illegals and sheboon mothers of hoodrats killed resisting arrest paraded amid the gaggle of airhead celebs and bernie protestors was pathetic

Ferguson, are you 12?

After the republicans took the house. They thought they'd have a lockdown on politics for the next fifty years, and it ended in two. That's when the MSM started playing up identity politics in a vain attempt to fire up brainlets.

These are career politicians and billionaires behind the scenes. A lot can be said about them, but they are not stupid.

What is happening now is them trying to keep their base, and not lose any people to the republicans, because they in fact realize that things will get better under Trump. They push to divide and control the narrative to keep more people on their side, since, as things get better, more people will be open to persuasion and switching sides.

Come elections, they hope that this base of voters is consolidated by the actions now, so they can change their song to appeal to the other voters necessary to sway to their side.

I know, I know, Vox, but this is a pretty good outline of how American liberals lost their perspective and their hold on the white working class.

Obama's first term was bad but not terrible. I know the left is shit but Ferguson is when it started to get actually embarrassing. Before that they were still worthy adversaries and some of their policy positions were reasonable.

The Corporatists should have made their own party years ago instead of wearing the Democrats like some second skin. Pic related.

But they didn't and now you have this state of affairs where two very different groups are attempting to redefine what the Democrats should be. An internal civil war between progressives and the establishment seems inevitable.

But when? Huh. I'd argue they peaked at, late '09? Months before Occupy became a thing. Even since then they've been mired by corruption or incompetence.

Checked.
I think it's possible that leftism itself is just a giant mistake; there's no point to progress to and there's always a new frontier of degeneracy, whereas the right has clear principles and objectives.

The "American Left" didn't jump the shark, but with the rise of social media, the shitbaggiest of the Left have snowballed and ruined the public perception.

The reason we don't observe this as much on the Right is because the analogous demographic lives in swamps and has no electricity. The closest thing is Nazis, and that's why Tumblrinas think Right = Nazi.

It would seem Kek agrees with me

Kek is here.

they lost their shit when Trayvon was killed and BLM was formed and began to chimp out by blocking streets and destroying property without retaliation by the police.

this essentially signaled to the left that they can get away with anything as long as their numbers were large enough to dissuade police from intervening

It has been coming for a long time, but Occupy Wall Street was the left's moment of destiny. Either they were going to have their revolution or crash and burn. The latter is what happened.

shit started to hit the fan when Bill met with Loretta at the Phoenix Airport on the tarmac.

When bill got his BJ.

Not too long ago. Maybe 3-4 years back is when it started to go really wrong.

it was the 2008 election of obama itself that was when they ceased to care about appealing to all Americans and they decided they only needed the brown + young votes.

>He is among us
Kek works in mysterious ways lads

Is Sup Forums so dumb they don't realize that Republicans are the same fucking thing?

Both parties have been compromised you shits.

When Obama got elected.

They thought they were on top of the world and could do nothing wrong

When they began pandering to niggers

>Republicans got Donald Fucking Trump into the White House and control the entire government
Yeah we sure are in disarray

I am wrong OP. It was when JFK JR died. If JFK would never have died he would have crushed bush in 04 and would have strengthened the blue dog wing of the party.

no shit Nostradamus . thats not the subject of discussion.

Why has Kek chosen this thread? Praise his name.

A bit after 9/11.

The Left is afraid to confront Islam. That's why Bush Derangement Syndrome appeared. They could not confront Islam without the possibility of being killed, so they projected their anger on Bush, who would not hurt them in any way.

During the Obama reign, Obama appeased Muslims, so there was no need to be afraid.

Trump is confronting Muslims again, and the Left is scared. So instead of facing the real threat-- Islam-- they are attacking Trump. Because Trump will not harm them.

The same theory explains why when your boss yells at you, you go home and kick your dog.

Lyndon Johnson, IMO

The mistake was democracy. Leftism is the result of politicians buying cheap votes.

Once they had succeeded in making it unacceptable to be anti-gay marriage they realized they had beaten the religious right and they didn't have to pretend to care about free speech or censorship anymore. It was maybe like 2008-2009 that I first started seeing it around the internet.

They're getting purged. Thus they are fighting for their paycheck/livelyhood. Thats why they are so rabid right now.

Occupy.

They could have chopped the head off the snake, instead went for progressive stacking and satisfied themsrlves with voting in an establishment groomed nog.

That said the seeds of destruction were sown in the 70s and 80s. Identity politics isnt leftism its tribalism

It started under Obama. They were filled with lot of righteous fury because of Bush, refused to acknowledge that Obama was worse than Bush because "das racist n sheeyit" then got cucked into believing the lies of the loons that shamed them into calling themselves racists.
The loons have always been there, but were almost always ignored. But the white guilt garbage actually worked this time since a negro was the leader of the free world.

I agree that this was the point when the insanity shot up exponentially. When they saw the (half) black man they lost their shit.
First they felt that America had finally stopped being racist and all was good for blacks and whites.
But then they realized they needed to be the victims forever and created 99999 genders and ramped up race baiting and insanity.

This fucker right here.

He shilled everything from Hart-Celler onward, and almost succeeded in legalizing every single border-hopper before the bastard finally croaked.

He's probably the single most destructive man to this country, by far, to have ever lived.

It's like a mountain. One guy wants to stop climbing and settle at a spot, the other guy wants to keep going forward.

At some point that guy is going to go past the peak and start going down the mountain

solid observation here. they really shit the bed after the surprise initial success of Occupy.

it's all the extra minorities...when given the chance to "reverse racism", we have seen that many non-whites will gladly come together to try and destroy white people.

...

Democrats are destroying the country while Republicans are destroying the planet.

Both suck corporate cock.

god damn alcoholic mick, how much was he making from the immigration racket

Shit started going bad for the burger left after Clinton took control and using his 'Third Way' brand of politics of combining social progressivism and market-capitalist economics.

It's what the Trudeaus do, so us leafs are very familiar with it.

In any case, what Bill Clinton did to make this more palatable to his base is rationalize his utilitarian actions in socialist/marxist doublethink.

Now the Clintons are old, and the people who swallowed the kool-aid are following the logic of rationalization lockstep. Non-Americans deserve the same rights as Americans, being a minority should be an elevated caste. It's what happened when the Tea Party overrode the Establishment Republicans, but slower since the DNC elite is better organized and has a stronger hierarchy it seems.

Occupy Wall Street.

This was the turning point. The protest started normal enough but then the weirdos started coming.

When JFK died

Wrong. Trayvon Martin, you dumbshit.

Seeds planted by KGB back in the 60's grew and eventually created the uber millennial liberal.

>The same theory explains why when your boss yells at you, you go home and kick your dog.
Goddamn I hate the left

Shadilay

Ukraine was a huge leap. They succeeded in overthrowing a government. Which is what they are trying their best to do right now. It is the same play book, riot and make it seem the gubment hates the people then get outside gubments to comment on regime change. It is sickening this is being allowed to happen.

What kind of asshole kicks their dog?

Trayvon is still alive faggot.

When I left the party

At the time my wife and I were noticing every time a new speaker came up, it was about 60% black women, unbelievable. I think during all the days of the event they only had a white male on stage about five times and four of those times he was a manfucker

I ain't clickin that shit nigga

this

Occupy demonstrated the failure of all of their core theories. Here was a well-regarded, visible, popular uprising, with huge public support. It came out of nowhere and blew up quickly. The mood was right. Then the left tried to run everything on "consensus" decision-making (ie all ideas are equal lol), give everyone a voice (ie affirmative action a revolution lol), actively avoided having a real platform (avoiding accountability) and avoided leaders (to prevent a white man from leading them). They also "welcomed" everyone, so their camps basically became tent cities for homeless people and therefore junkies and crazies. By the end the public could see that Occupy as an ongoing movement had NOTHING to offer. Occupy Wall Street was a statement, a victorious one. And that was all. Once they started calling themselves "thought leaders" I peaced out for good and started looking for other things to drive my political philosophy and I'm not the only one. In short, all of the good and smart people with talents and vision and ability to actually accoplish things were disillusioned by their fellow travelers and up and left to find something else or forge a new way, and left the dregs behind with the result you are seeing today.

I kick my cat all the time

nah. Slightly after Obama was elected, around when Travyon got Zim-Zammed.

Cats are dicks so that's ok

>When Did the American Left Jump the Shark?

November 22, 1963

Pretty good. 8/10

Speaking as a former leftie, I'd say it was around 2010 that things were starting to get a bit ridiculous.

I can't pinpoint an exact moment the left jumped the shark, but it was apparent they had lost touch with reality when they were either silent or celebrating the mass migration occurring in Europe.

>The latter is what happened.

The teachable moment being that a political movement needs more organization than a Rainbow Gathering. They're still figuring it out.

when they started hating on old white men when obama was reelected. Then it became i hope all old white men die teheheee msnbc. Then it became all white males need to die. Seriously fuck that dyke the one on msnbc.

I'd say they jumped the shark when they elected someone for being black.

true, but to be fair a lot of it was just to prevent Hillary. The strongest candidate in 2008 was John Edwards, who has been erased from history because he knocked up a lady not his bitch-political-wife at the wrong time. Any democrat was going to win the 2008 election, the public was completely over the Bush Admin.
