Why would they not?

The best job in Sweden at the moment has got to be that of press officer for the Swedish Democrats (SD). Such an individual doesn't have to do a damn thing. He can party all night and sleep all day. The elite groups, along with their crusty little pet activists, are doing the job far better than any press office could ever manage.

Some genius “expert” commentator said the other day that SD is using the martyr-card to gain support. Next he will probably declare that gravity exists. But what that “expert” and many others are missing is that it’s not SDs fault, not really. They can just sit back and relax. Just send an article to a paper or sit in the morning sofa once a week, then they can lay back and let the mainstream pundits bash them into fame and parliament.

And both the government and the opposition have solemnly declared that they will never form a coalition with the “racists” and that they will cut them out as much as possible. In the meantime journalists are competing in the game of who can trash and ridicule SD the most.

What the public see in all this, those that don't react with the auto-responder permanently cranked up to 'racist-Nazi-bigot-neanderthal-thug' every time those two letters are mentioned. People who would not have dreamed of voting SD, who might otherwise have heard little to nothing of that party, are wondering what all the fuss is about. Why is the government so scared of them? Why are they so desperate to silence this small party? What do they offer that the government doesn't? And even more so, people that actually live in reality, in the real world where immigration and refugees actually pose a problem or at least some nuisance, those people see the government, the main parties and journalists ignoring the problems and when someone comes along with a supposed solution, they get cut down with every dirty trick in the book.

And so it doesn’t matter if journalists find criminals within SD, which party hasn’t criminals as members? Aren’t they all criminals? What if some article or pamphlet is riddled with holes? How many of the elitists aren’t lying to us each day? Are we supposed to care more because one party gets “caught” lying but not the other one?

What I see here is suppression of an alternative view. It's not my view that's being suppressed but if they get away with suppressing the SD, they'd have no trouble shutting me up. Or any other individual or small party. If they can once get away with thrashing one party or changing the law to exclude a political opponent they don't like, well…

Let's face it; so many people are so tired of our current MPs - all of them - that they would be interested in voting for any party that the nosegoblins say they shouldn't. They surely must see that when they set their elitist dogs on people who aren't actually causing any trouble, that the public are perfectly capable of determining who is having a march and who has turned up for a fight.

The establishment might as well start printing 'Vote SD' badges ready for the next election.

People are starting to wonder what would happen if the government took a dislike to them. They see the techniques aimed at a party they don't know much about because nobody will let the SD speak and they think, 'Well, they're doing that for no other reason than they don't like this bunch. So what will they do if they decide they don't like me?' Then they think about it a little more and they realize something important.

This post isn't actually about the SD, you see. So anyone currently suffering tinnitus and steam coming from their ears, chill out, have a smoke and a double brandy and relax. It is not a post in support of the SD nor is it a post attacking the SD. This is about what is happening to the SD so look again, and ask if it could happen to you.

Would your government take a view opposing yours and silence you, and those who would speak for you, and refuse to countenance any debate at all that would let you have a say? Would your government use lies and deceit to override anything you might want to do or say? Would your government use the law against you, demonise and punish you, encourage others to treat you as subhuman, for no other reason than they just don't like you?

Do you smoke? Drink? Drive? Are you a little on the portly side?

Can you see why the SD support is growing? It's not because people are all suddenly racist, it's not even because people are all suddenly in tune with all the policies on all the other things because they're pretty much the same policies as all the rest of them. The only real difference between SD and the social democrats is the more focus on the immigration and refugees issues.

People have seen the way the government are working on SD and they are thinking about that while they shiver outside for a smoke, while they queue in those bars for a overtaxed drink that comes with warning labels, while they hear talk about speed cameras that don't flash so you don't know whether you're fined until the letter arrives. They are reading about fat people beaten up for being fat, they are watching the information campaigns sending hateful messages against smokers, they are consoling children scared to death by the drowning puppies of the global warming religion, they are wondering why their government thinks they are all pedophiles, they are wondering why the government needs to poke around their computer and read their emails.

People aren't looking at the treatment of the SD and thinking 'They could do that to me'.

They are thinking 'They have done that to me'.

The elitists tell us that the SD are evil racists. Well, they've already told me I am personally evil because I use tobacco. I'm even more evil because I like a drink. I'm yet more evil because my salt and fat intake is nowhere near the recommended amounts. I'm a crazed 'global warming denier'. I will not take the vaccine, and I, oh gosh, don’t vote. Can you find a more evil person than me? Looking at the list of things this government calls me evil for being and doing, Satan had better watch out for his job. So when they call SD evil, I'm supposed to consider that a different type of evil or something?

I'm not going to vote SD. Too socialist, too controlling, too much as the rest of the bunch. But I'm not the only one classed as Satan's heir. There are millions out there who have been demonised far more than me. Why would they vote SD?

Why would they not?
