Dr. Rust Observes

How the word Resistance has sunk in meaning

Leaving an Atlanta IKEA store Saturday morning was a bearded, unwashed young man wearing a tea shirt with the words—I AM THE RESISTANCE.

At the time I thought how the words RESISTANCE changed in meaning the past 60 years. To me RESISTANCE is the millions of brave French citizens who fought against the Nazi occupiers of France from 1940 until 1945. Tens of thousands died during their quest.

Today the word RESISTANCE stands for disappointed Progressives unhappy with the election of Donald Trump as President November 8, 2016. They number in the millions and have accounted for unspeakable amounts of violence and property damage from coast to coast since the election.

On the day of President Trump’s January 20 Inauguration in Washington, DC hundreds of masked Progressive went on a destruction spree with crow bars and hammers in a several block area a few blocks of the Presidential Inaugural Parade route.

Another example is 21-year old Valerie Starushok stuffing a bloody sanitary napkin in the mouth of a male marcher in the January 27 March for Life parade in Ashland, Oregon. An especially egregious example is disruptions on the University of California Berkley campus February 1 when a mob of 1500 stopped a campus lecture by an outside speaker. WSOF boxer Jake Shields, who rescued a bystander being attacked, said police refused to stop the mob.

The 1940’s members of the RESISTANCE will be hailed as heroes for eternity. The new Progressive’s RESISTANCE will be judged as bullies in the future.

Note: Dr. Rust, physicist, is here expressing what many of us are thinking, but have not yet defined in the way he has here.  For those who remember the anti-Vietnam War riots of the 60's in Berkeley, CA there was an obvious logic with which many of us agreed as that war was clearly one for the profit of "defense" suppliers who were no more about defense than most of us are for social diseases or day-old cornflakes in milk.

The young people rioting now make little to no sense.  Nothing has happened to upset them.  There is no evidence the election was rigged or "hacked."  The only thing that can be said is that the cemetaries of Chicago and Detroit did not deliver.  The election official car trucks could, as in Minnesota, could not carry enough ballots to offset dislikeable Hillary who made it very hard to believe the Russians wanted Mr. Trump over her after she left them have 20% of our mined uranium after a $104 million donation to the Clinton Foundation, 94% of which Bill, Hillary and Chelsea would keep.  It is just not that kind of world any more, as Dr. Rust observes.
