Bill Ayers, Cornel West and other leftists urge supporters to prevent Trump from being inaugurated

When Obama was elected many Americans were horrified.  But in the time-honored tradition of our nation, they accepted it and went back to work.

No one tried to prevent him from taking office.  No one tried to shut down Washington DC to keep him from being inaugurated. 

But the petulant, spoiled children of the Left don't want to honor that "time-honored tradition":  Having prepped the battlespace by endlessly comparing Trump to Hitler, their leaders are now calling on followers to "prevent Trump-Pence from ruling," by staging "massive protests."

Amazingly, this isn't the "disruptJ20" movement that I posted about a few weeks ago, but is a different group headed by such charmers as Bill Ayers and avowed communist professor Cornel West.  Although they throw in the phrase "peaceful demonstration" a few times, reading their own words makes it quite clear that they want to overthrow the new government by force and violence.

If you think this is hyperbole I don't blame you.  I wouldn't have believed it either.  You need to click the link above and read their own words.  I've pulled the crux of it below, omitting most of the boilerplate stuff.  (Words in red are my emphasis.)

FAQ’s On Stopping Trump-Pence

How could Trump-Pence actually be prevented from ruling?

By the intersection of two things: first, massive protest and resistance from tens of millions of ordinary people, daring and determined to actually prevent this fascist regime from taking over ...and through that creating “a crisis of rule”; 

   These protests could be [like] the protests against police murder...or the Occupy protests, but larger by several orders of magnitude and even more determined.  

   Such protests would have to have the effect of figuratively “stopping society in its tracks” and would raise real questions as to whether people very broadly would recognize the legitimacy [emphasis in original] of such a regime to even rule in basic ways and enforce its edicts.

  [S]hould there be a political eruption “from below,” concerns over Trump would combine with immediate questions as to whether their basic stability and perhaps even the entire system would be endangered by continuing to stick with Trump-Pence.

"...perhaps even the entire system would be endangered by continuing to stick with Trump..."  Exactly how would the system be "endangered"?  By court challenges?  Those are routine, not an endangerment.  The only way to endanger is by using violence...which of course is what they're advocating to get their way.

Has anything like this ever happened?

Yes....  As 2011 dawned, President Hosni Mubarak had ruled Egypt for decades and seemed to be immovably implanted in power.  But Mubarak was forced to leave office and actually arrested after being confronted by massive demonstrations that braved very severe repression...  From the time of the first demonstrations to the removal of Mubarak took less than a month.  

   There are more than a few examples from the past several decades in which mass demonstrations from below have created or exacerbated splits and divisions among ruling elites and led to constitutionally extraordinary changes in government. 

Why do you think we can get millions or, as the mission and plan for this state, tens of millions of people to do this, in such a short period of time?

Because Trump-Pence in fact would NOT be “normal”—because they are in fact fascist and their attacks on immigrants, Muslims, women, Black people, the press, the sciences, the rule of law itself are so odious to the basic values of tens of millions and their threats to the environment and to many countries are so very dangerous to humanity itself—there is an extraordinary depth to people’s anguish over the prospect of this regime...These millions can be reached with a way to act that seems commensurate with the challenge of actually preventing this; there can be rapid geometric growth...due to the extraordinary circumstances and the deep feelings of tens of millions.

How do you envision this happening?

...plans will be announced to “bring DC to a halt” in the week before the scheduled inauguration.  Shortly after that we envision the growth of demonstrations and other forms of protest... 

  This would have to quickly spread and find ways to overcome resistance and obstacles, but once people are aroused...things can spread like wildfire.  While this is far from assured, historical experience shows that there is a reasonable chance that in the face of extreme provocation from the ruling powers, people can act in extraordinary ways.

  ...if such a thing could happen in a highly repressive and non-interlinked society like Egypt, it could certainly happen here.

How do I answer those who say that it’s too early to say that Trump-Pence is for-sure fascist?

First, let’s look at the case that is made in the mission and plan for this initiative:

“More fundamental than the illegitimate character of the electoral college is the illegitimacy of such a fascist regime. As many have noted, Hitler himself came to power through the process of elections and established legal procedures. We can see...the terrible error of those who hoped it would blow over, who believed that Hitler would...fall from power on his own... 

   This is not an exaggerated comparison. Trump has made clear through his campaign and now in his appointments and behavior in its aftermath that he intends to radically attack the rights of immigrants [illegal aliens who've invaded this nation illegally, so the Left just says "immigrants" because lies work so much better], Muslims, Black people, women, gay and trans people, the disabled... 

   [Trump] has made clear that he will pursue a geopolitical policy that will be short on facts and long on aggression, threats of aggression, insane nuclear proliferation, torture and threats of torture, and continually going to the brink of war and no doubt beyond, and all while stoking the fires of xenophobia and scapegoating. He has made clear that not only has he no respect for the freedom of the press and expression, but that he intends to attack it—both through threatened legal prosecution and suppression...

   As for academic freedom, the “watch list” is an early warning sign of what is in store. Trump and his top operatives, like Flynn, take lying to a new level [breath-taking projection/ lack of self-awareness here], trampling on facts and even the very idea of objectivity and truth. 

   Trump has...further empowered rape culture and already damaged the lives and chances of every woman and girl in this country. 

   He has, perhaps most egregiously of all, super-charged the notion that this is a “white man’s country,” in which the rights and existence of Black people and other people of color count for nothing 

   ...he has put proven white supremacists—people of the ilk of Bannon and Sessions—in positions of power to use that force of the state to directly back that belief up; [and] given impetus to every fascist, neo-Nazi and bigot to directly express themselves by violently going after people who are not white, male, Christian or straight. There will not only be no checks whatsoever on the white supremacy and vile racism that permeates the police departments and prison guards of this country

   The days of white vigilanteism and, yes, lynch mobs—days that never really went away, as the terrible cases of Trayvon Martin and the Charleston massacre remind us—will now be back with a vengeance and, again, with encouragement from the highest offices of the land.

   Hopes in checks and balances in an era of virtually unbridled executive power...is similarly vain. [

But some people have argued that Trump-Pence were legally elected and that it would be dangerous to overturn this.

The most important point in evaluating this question is this: should this regime take power, based on what they have already said and done, it would be such a breach of the most fundamental rights that people hold dear—freedom of speech, freedom of political expression and association and freedom of the press; —that to accede to this regime’s ascension to power would so violate those principles as to render them meaningless.  In short, there is a greater good at stake that demands extraordinary action.

Aren’t we running the risk of making his supporters angry?

Yes.  But you are not going to, nor should you want to, mollify fascists by laying low—again, this has been tried in the past with disastrous results.  Right now these people are already committing hate crimes....

But this is still a very difficult proposition and far from assured.  Suppose we lose—won’t this demoralize people and discourage them from acting once the regime assumes power?

The assumption behind this question is that the circumstances will be more favorable later, but the experience with fascist regimes does not provide comfort for that point of view.

  When Hitler became chancellor ...he moved quickly to abolish civil liberties, and in relatively short order to consolidate what became an extremely repressive and powerful regime, which carried out extraordinary crimes against humanity.  

  Trump has promised and already shown that he is likely to move in very extreme ways... further, it is also prudent to assume that he would not hesitate to act outside the law, carrying out edicts... 

   Counseling people to hold back now, no matter how well-meaning the intentions in doing so, could literally end up putting at risk the continued existence of the world as we know it.

   The path of holding back, of waiting and seeing, of calculating odds is littered with corpses.  Far better to fight as hard as we can now, however difficult the circumstances...and going all out in a telescoped period of time for what is indeed our best shot.

==

The amount of projection, hyperbole (endless comparisons to Hitler, "...literally putting at risk the existence of the world as we know it"), blatant lies about damn near everything ("...illegitimacy of the electoral college system," claiming the EC is a "legacy of slavery"), hypocrisy (complaining about virtually unbridled executive power after praising Obozo's refusal to enforce valid U.S. laws for 8 years)...one hardly knows where to begin.

Again, if you think this is satire or fake, click on the link and see for yourself.   To see the list of intellectual luminaries who've signed on to this call for violent revolution, click here.

If this call for the violent overthrow of the government had been written anonymously I'd dismiss it as the work of a lunatic, but this was authored by Bill Ayers, Cornel West and other named leftist revolutionaries, which enables the Lying Media to report it as a bona fide movement.

Thus what would have been an insane proposal the media couldn't embrace can now be reported as a "grass-roots movement of millions."

If Ayers and the rest of the Left manage to convince their mob of bomb-throwers to do as they've outlined, it's hard to see how this can end without bloodshed.  Perhaps more to the point, this is the kind of game plan that results in massive vote fraud, ballot boxes stolen and replaced with stuffed ones and the like in future elections.  After all, Leftists seem to feel their ends--power--justify the use of any means whatsoever.
