Gavin McInnes: If We Lose

Gavin McInnes writes:

So here is how we’re going to lose: We are going to fight even harder to get this country back and we are going to fight dirty. When they go low, we are going to go lower. If they want to make it personal and ignore the facts, we’re happy to dive into the muck. The majority of the GOP refuse to do this and this is why they just became extinct. When Rush Limbaugh indicated that Sandra Fluke might be a slut for demanding birth control from a Catholic institution, conservatives were outraged he swore. Fuck them. We swear now. (…)

In the late ’80s, there was a violent punk gang called BunchofFuckingGoofs. They lived in a big house in Toronto with various dogs and piles of old motorbikes. One day, they decided they’d had enough of Nazi skinheads (created by the government, by the way) terrorizing punk shows. So they beat up every Nazi in Toronto, then took a bus to Ottawa and Montreal where they did the same. It took no time at all and we’ve never seen a skinhead since. This was almost thirty years ago.

I’m not recommending violence, but I won’t hit the fainting couch if it happens.

Contrarian point:

Except I don’t see how doubling down on the stuff that may (or may not) have lost the election would be a winning strategy…

Cape Fear isn’t one of my touchstones, but I think Gavin is confused about who the hero is.
