What’s the Resistance Movement Doing to the Country?

RUSH: This entire resistance movement, what does it all mean, what does it really mean in terms of our country’s future?

What does it mean that the Democrat Party you and I grew up with doesn’t exist anymore? What does it mean that the Democrat Party has been taken over by the radical left, which is literally resisting everything, and they are refusing to acknowledge and tolerate and deal with the fact that they lose elections now and then. We’re getting to the point that they will not accept losing. They will not tolerate others winning and are not going to go away until they can tear all that down. This is really serious stuff if you ask me. It’s more than just chronicling what they’re doing and how they’re doing it. It’s: Where is all this taking us?

one of the things I’m continually asked now is not if I am aware of some recent example of outrageous behavior by the left, but people are becoming increasingly concerned about: What does it mean? This is not the usual Democrat opposition.

When the left can get away with, like this professor at Fresno State, get away with wishing more Bushes would die, and she’s gonna end up not being punished by Fresno State. She’s gonna totally get away with it. People have an awareness, a sensitivity that something’s amiss here, something’s awry, and it isn’t good. And I was talking to people about it. The way I explain this to people is the analogy that I’ve used about America during World War II and America today.

We had divisions in World War II. We had disagreements. We had competing ideologies. We had competing political parties. But back then, losers lost, accommodated. They tried to figure out what they did that went wrong with the voters and tried to correct and become winners the next time around.

There was an implicit, applied agreement that we were all in this together and that, regardless of differences, there was a singular thing that bound us together. And that is we’re all Americans, and that counted for something. That meant a lot. America was the greatest place on earth. America is where everybody wanted to come to be the best they could be, to make the most of their lives. It still is. But it’s changing.
