One of the many meanings of the word ‘Tora’ in Japanese is Tiger but apparently it’s an abbreviation of: ‘Totsugeki Raigeki’ or “Lightening Attack”. It also can mean “Thunder” and other nuanced interpretations specific to the language.
The strategy of groupthink’s Left is comparable to pilots on board the invading Japanese fleet, screaming Tora! Tora! Tora! Attack, attack, attack while wearing a white silk scarf around their necks.
When submerged by an onslaught of accusations, substantiated or not, more often than not unfounded are incessant, conversation is impossible. It reminds me of the joke in which a tourist watching Jewish people praying at the Wailing Wall, asks one of the devotees
- What are you doing?
- “Praying. Asking God for peace on earth”
- I see. Is God answering?
- “Nope. It’s like talking to a wall.”
Or, encore, as the French would say, we call what’s happening in our United States: “Un dialogue de sourds”. Translation: A dialog between deaf people.
Often at coffee klatch, I hear some people who are Republicans, saying: “Enough! Trump is trouble. Trump should keep his mouth shut. I’d rather vote for someone else. We need peace.”. What that tells me is that their values are not as strong as they pretend. They even begin finding excuses for their lack of conviction.
I do not know Donald Trump nor voted for him but I can see in him the embodiment of someone who has responded to a late Calling, even though particularly flawed the man might be.
In essence, those I was mentioning, are falling prey to the Left’s simplest of tactics: Attack nonstop. Accuse nonstop, do damage nonstop, vilify nonstop and eventually the weak will give in.
So, it begs the question: What should Republicans or any of those who do not agree with the extreme Woke Left do?
If life experience is of any value, and as someone asked me: What should I do if I am constantly bullied? I would say fight back but if you enter the ring, make sure you do not use niceties towards the bully. Wearing gloves is ‘De Rigueur”. Now if you cannot fight back and prefer to throw in the towel, then you are doomed and not allowed to complain. Period!
What is happening in the USA today? Why are we so divided?
In 50 years of observing politicians, I have never seen what I am witnessing today. A river of venom which does irreparable damage to the very people they pretend to care about.
Case in point. Elon Musk announces that he will provide Internet service via satellite to the Iranian people rebelling against a super oppressive government. One would think the Left would support the people. Hell no! They attack Musk himself a liberal for this action. Not enough I guess? Or a better question would be: What does the Woke Left want that could be positive?
Another point, happening as I write.
Italy just elected its first female prime minister. Where are American Leftist feminists? Shouldn’t they be celebrating? Oops! I forgot. She is what they deem conservative. Never mind that she is somewhat of a leftist conservative. It feels so good to bash, attack, and hope to destroy a person who does not abide by extreme woke orthodoxy. A fabricated temporary religion, devoid of canons which stands for nothing except attack anything that doesn’t move in their circles of empty vision for society. The fact that they know nothing or next to nothing about the woman is of no significance to those who are trying to score valueless points. At least, in kindergarten, with 10 points you got an image (in France). Sarcastic?
The fact that Italy has voted and people have made a choice is deemed anti-Democratic, extremist, far-right etcetera, etcetera. The media doesn’t throw the book at the lady they don’t know, they throw the library at her. Why? As always, ratings.
It seems that’s all the Woke crowd knows. Their ignorance and sick, baseless vision [if any] of the world is, unfortunately, hasten and further amplified by a so-called mainstream media eager to regain dominance in the rating race with conservative outfits which by and large are in the minority but dominate viewership hence the bulk of advertising money.
A media which created their own Rocky in the person of Donald Trump and the new ‘Popolo’ of America.
Tora!, Tora!, Tora! Now with a few years of it, guess what? Even regular Democrat folks are bored to tears and totally fed-up with this out-of-context, wrong-timing rallying cry who does nothing but inflates the ranks of those they are trying to destroy while offering nothing in exchange not even worth one minute of contemplation or anyone’s time.
They already lost and the Woke Left simply doesn’t get it.
