Good morning!
Does my title make absolutely no sense? If it doesn’t, that’s OK! Take a look at this article:
theintercept.com/…
Glenn Greenwald wrote “The Seven Stages of Establishment Backlash: Corbyn/Sanders Edition” and it is AWESOME! My fellow DK Berners are going to freaking LOVE this, and see it EVERY DAY HERE.
Here are the stages (links are examples and more details in the article):
STAGE 1: Polite condescension toward what is perceived to be harmless
STAGE 2: Light, casual mockery as the self-belief among supporters grows
STAGE 3: Self-pity and angry etiquette lectures directed at supporters upon realization that they are not performing their duty of meek surrender, flavored with heavy doses of concern trolling
STAGE 4: Smear the candidate and his supporters with innuendos of sexism and racism by falsely claiming only white men support them
STAGE 5: Brazen invocation of right-wing attacks to marginalize and demonize, as polls prove the candidate is a credible threat
STAGE 6: Issuance of grave and hysterical warnings about the pending apocalypse if the establishment candidate is rejected, as the possibility of losing becomes imminent
STAGE 7: Full-scale and unrestrained meltdown, panic, lashing-out,threats, recriminations, self-important foot-stomping, overt union with the Right, complete fury
OK, so now you have that, look at his tweet:
So, yeppers, I think Greenwald is SPOT-ON! HAHAHAHAHA! God, this is sheer genius!
So buckle-up for Stage 7, everyone! Could be a rough and rocky ride, but one thing is guaranteed: hilarity!
VOTE BERNIE SANDERS! Go New Hampshire!!
