<\/p>\nRUSH: We\u2019ve gotten to a dangerous point here where the left refuses to accept election outcomes — and, folks, that cannot lead to anything good. That has always been the glue that\u2019s held us together. Frankly, at times I\u2019ve marveled that the country has held together the way it has for as many years as it has, given the only thing that really holds us all together is a piece of paper or a series of pieces of paper: The U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The honor system and the reverence, the respect for that document is what\u2019s held us together. In all of our years, we have never elected a despot or a tyrant who wanted to literally rip it up, throw it away, and establish his own tyrannical dictatorship. It\u2019s amazing. But we\u2019re getting dangerously close to the same thing happening when one of our political parties refuses to accept election results, for whatever reason! They make it up. “Well, it was stolen! The Russians this or that.” Doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n
When they refuse to accept, it means that there really isn\u2019t any unity around the premise of our country. And we may not unify issue to issue to issue, but we always have been unified about the premise of America as founded. That\u2019s what\u2019s under assault today, and that is what is, in my mind, profoundly dangerous, and we are raising (and have been since the seventies) generation after generation of students who have been taught things that have nothing in common with the founding of the country.<\/p>\n
We have not taught children. You go back to the days when we learned that in junior high, intramural football and softball, nobody won, that there were no outs in baseball. No kid ever struck out. The kid hit until he hit the ball and put it in play. There were no losers. There were no winners. Outcome-based education: 2 + 2 = 5 if you thought it was 5. We weren\u2019t gonna humiliate people who were wrong. The people who were really smart in school? We were gonna slow them down. “We\u2019re not gonna service their superior ability to learn.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re gonna slow them down so as not to offend anybody else,” and we\u2019ve now gotten to this point where kids have been raised coddled. They have been taught phony notions that self-esteem today does not derive from achievement and accomplishment. It derives from “I have a right to have self-esteem.” Parents have been teaching little kids, “You\u2019re perfect, Little Johnny. You\u2019re perfect, Little Susie,” and they\u2019re not prepared for adversity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So when nobody has been raised to deal with adversity, which in this case is losing an election, we have temper tantrums. We have childlike, snowflake behavior on college campuses. And we have a political party that\u2019s behind all of this! Right now, it\u2019s rooted in the failure to accept the results of an election. That is ongoing, and now on Twitter, as I said, you can find posts by Hollywood people promising that there will be blood if the Democrats do not win the House back<\/a>. There will be blood.<\/p>\n So people are being threatened. Not directly, but in a generic sense. All of it is designed to limit turnout. I think it\u2019s having the exact opposite impact on people. I think the left and the Drive-By Media continue to misunderstand who Trump voters are, why they are Trump voters, and why they aren\u2019t going anywhere. Let\u2019s see. We\u2019re also here being told that we need a new kind of civility, that the Trump presidency and all of his supporters are promoting all this incivility and violence and so forth, when it could be said that it\u2019s the exact opposite.<\/p>\n Look, the reason why I\u2019m harping on the fact people refuse to accept election results, is it\u2019s profoundly indicative of who they are, and it\u2019s a large explanation of why they\u2019re behaving as they do. Their refusal to accept is not just because Trump won. It\u2019s not just because they hate Trump. It\u2019s more than that. It\u2019s because they lost. They were fully expecting to win, and they didn\u2019t, and so they simply refuse it because it\u2019s not a matter of thinking. It\u2019s a matter of feeling. They don\u2019t feel happy. They don\u2019t feel good.<\/p>\n When they feel bad, then something\u2019s not right — and that\u2019s also been part of the education system. So look at some headlines. “Tom Steyer Runs a Facebook Ad Comparing Trump to Saddam Hussein<\/a>.” This is from what I\u2019m calling the New Civility and Let\u2019s Tone It Down Stack. The Democrats on the left and the Drive-Bys are telling everybody, “We need to tone it down.” They told you Trump, “You need to tone down the rhetoric, Dude! You\u2019re causing all these people to engage in violence.”<\/p>\n Trump said, “I thought I had toned it down. If you need me to tone it back up, I will.” They went bonkers. So here comes, “[l]eft-wing billionaire Tom Steyer,” who is one of these environmentalist wackos who hopes to make a killing in this fraudulent hoax of man-made climate change. “Steyer is running a Facebook ad comparing President Donald Trump to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The ad features a three-minute long video that accuses the president of following a ‘dictator\u2019s playbook\u2019 modeled by tyrants like Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, in addition to Hussein.<\/p>\n “The ad describes Trump as a ‘malignant narcissist\u2019 and claims he is perpetuating ‘systemic misogyny.\u2019 The video claims Trump\u2019s support for a border wall and attacks on the media make him comparable to dictators…” Dictators don\u2019t attack the media; they own the media! Dictators don\u2019t spend their time ripping the media because they are the media! Trump isn\u2019t a dictator. Not even close to it. It seems like only yesterday, doesn\u2019t it, the Drive-Bys were blasting Trump for tweeting that Steyer comes off as a crazed, “stumbling lunatic”? (chuckling)<\/p>\n Yet here he is. Washington Post yesterday: “Trump Mocks Democratic Megadonor Tom Steyer, the Target of a Pipe Bomb, as \u2018Stumbling Lunatic.\u2019<\/a>” Now here comes Tom Steyer bumbling along like a lunatic comparing Trump to a bunch of tyrants! “Jeff Flake said Monday that it\u2019s unlikely that President Trump would change his rhetoric, but elected officials should call out him and his supporters on ‘out of bounds\u2019 tactics.<\/p>\n “‘The elected officials who continue to appear with the president at rallies where “lock her up” chants are encouraged and routine and phrases like the president is using. I can\u2019t imagine, as an elected official, attending a rally like that and not stand up afterwards or beforehand and say, ‘Don\u2019t do this, don\u2019t do this. This is not right,”‘ Flake told … an Arizona NPR station on Monday<\/a>,” saying elected officials have to abandon Trump.<\/p>\n “Bill Nelson,” running for the Senate in Florida, “Compares Current U.S. Political Climate to Rwanda Before Genocide<\/a>” there! “‘When a place gets so tribal that the two tribes won\u2019t have anything to do with each other … that jealousy turns into hate,\u2019 Nelson said. ‘And we saw what happened to the Hutus and the Tutsis in Rwanda, it turned into a genocide. A million-people hacked to death within a few months. And we have got to watch what\u2019s happening here.\u2019<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-103018-Riot.jpg\")
