Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is consistently saying things that are demonstrably untrue, Ilhan Omar has said so many antisemitic things that we’ve probably forgotten more of them than we remember, and Democrats, in general, have suggested violence so many times that it’s kind of become part and parcel of the whole party.
Yet, for some reason, they continue to get away with it, so much so that when they do it now the populace is just willing to shrug it off even when hearing about it. You could say they’re doing this with the help of the media, and you’d be right, but there’s more to it than that.
What if I told you they do this with the help of psychological conditioning?
Before you wave me off a conspiracy theorist and hand me my golden tinfoil hat award, let me reassure you that it’s actually a process that’s not that difficult to get results from if you keep at it, and it’s not exactly hard to do.
It’s called the “Exhaust the Charge Strategy” and it’s something you knew that probably existed but didn’t have a name for. Now you have it.
The “Exhaust the Charge Strategy” was first brought to my attention on Twitter on Thursday by Twitter user “The Levine Man.” In a tweet thread, he addressed the antisemitic remarks that have sadly been going unaddressed by the larger political world. In fact, some have gone so far as to make excuses for her, but as Levine writes, it’s really all a part of a strategy to normalize certain kinds of rhetoric.
Here’s the tweet thread so you can peruse it below.

Ilhan Omar is neither stupid nor untrained. She is an astute strategist who knows precisely how to navigate political mine fields.
What she's doing with these constant anti-Jewish remarks is "exhausting the charge."

Indeed every one of us has thought at some point or another, "OH! Here we go again! It's _____ism."
That's us after we've gotten "exhausted" with the charge.
Omar aims toward the same result for antisemitism.

Instead, she'll say thing like "It's all about the Benjamins," and then hide behind the double meaning.
"What??? It's a song! I like that song!" "And besides, Netanyahu's name is Benjamin. That's all I meant!"

Neo-Nazis use the same exhaustion strategy to question the Holocaust. They deny the Holocaust over and over again, and each time they do we scream, "Antisemite!"
Then you know what they do?

Furthermore, there are always going to be Useful Idiots within the Jewish Community. They will stand at Omar's side to the bitter end (their end, not hers).
Why this is requires it's own thread, but it is the case.

It’s an old strategy that works wonders when you’re attempting to drive narratives and define the conversation.
The more Omar says antisemitic stuff, the more people become outraged by it, the more she passes it off as a misunderstanding, and the more the media reports that people are going after poor little Ilhan Omar because she’s a Muslim Woman.
After a time, the people watching on get sick of the people who are constantly screaming “wolf” and tune them out, all while believing them to be the actual bad guys in the room. It’s a genius strategy, albeit incredibly nefarious.
But it does bring to attention what Levine was saying about the Democrats. We like to write off Omar, Ocasio-Cortez, et al for being total idiots. While I wouldn’t go so far as to say they’re running the show, they’re very good at doing as they’ve been trained, and they’ve definitely been trained. They know what they’re doing, and they’re counting on us to react appropriately so they continue to push the conversation in the direction they want it to go.
The question you have to ask yourself, where is it exactly that they’re wanting it to go? AOC’s is easy to guess. She wants communism to become trendy, and the outrage from conservatives that she shrugs off while victimizing herself only causes people to become more curious about it.
I’d like to tell you Omar’s is very similar, but the antisemitic language she often uses can have no other effect but support for Islam and a hatred for the Jewish people. There’s clearly a move being undertaken here to reawaken an old hatred here, and if Levine is correct, then they’re using an old Nazi tactic to do it. What’s more, the people training them to do it are doing it with purpose, and it’s more than likely Democrats know it.
It would explain why Nancy Pelosi continues to stay silent while Omar’s antisemitism runs amok.

If this is the case, then the Democrats truly are a party bent on evil.
