The expression to "own the libs" is a often used as a tongue-in-cheek criticism of obscure but increasingly common right-wing tactics ranging from upending GOP orthodoxy on policy, to throwing your own expensive coffee machine out the window in protest of an ad boycott, to wearing diapers during a campus demonstration.

It simply means that Republicans enjoy to a great degree, sometimes even more than actual policy achievements, opportunities to make Democrats and liberals feel bad or face plant. The conservatives who like to own the libs do it because it feels good and it's funny."

It's sad really. Little people thinking their big. I remember it well from grade school. At Brook Ave Waco Tx

You're such a poor little liberal victim

Do you wake up angry? You may be a liberal

I've never heard of your saying fwiw

Old democrat saying > "Own a slave, heck own more that one!"

. Thank you for making my point. It's all about "owning me" by put down. It's a sad human who resorts to those tactics. You make it personal not about ideas.

Doubt anyone wants to 'own' 47.

Would be a lousy return on the investment.

It is sad, but so much better than the Democrats/left actually practicing violence. Funny that you, a "preacher" don't call that out with a specific thread.

What about Democratic congressman actually calling for the harassment and violence against Trump supports and Republicans? Where's your thread on that?

Preacher? I think not.

Nothing more personal than advocating killing an unborn child as opposed to an idea about choice. Keep playing.

Oh look another person on the left who has no idea how the right think or operates telling everyone how the right thinks and operates.....

I never said that. So stop lying.

You lefties have already been owned.

You lost to Trump. Your party is broke. You have no leaders. You're moving further left and you focus on conservatives and Trump far more than your own party.

Go scream at the sky. Go pretend to be victims. Neither will help you.

I am very confused by this thread. Criticizing an opposition viewpoint is now considered bad? High school debate teams everywhere will be devastated.

Don't be confused. It's all about "owning libs" as if that were worthy thing. Pro tip. It's not.

"Clearly, Republicans are enjoying the sensation, which probably boosts President Trump's popularity. Here's the process for how to own a lib, by the current logic: First, you say something that "triggers the libs"; then, when they make clear that they're triggered, you mock them; then, by virtue of your mockery, you own them. What you choose to do with the libs you own is irrelevant; mere pride of ownership is the important thing." National Review

On Monday evening, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley spoke before Turning Point USA's High School Leadership Summit. There, she explained to the students that the attraction of conservatism shouldn't be "owning the libs," in the popular parlance; instead, conservatives should try to convince. She explained, "I know that it's fun and that it can feel good, but step back and think about what you're accomplishing when you do this are you persuading anyone?"

The blowback from the Trumpian right was swift. Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars tweeted, "Nikki Haley is incredibly stupid." Breitbart headlined, "Nikki Haley Scolds Students."

That same day, the Trump announced via his press secretary that he was considering whether to revoke the security clearances for a bevy of former Obama officials, some of whom had already lost their security clearances. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) downplayed the threat, saying, "I think he's just trolling people, honestly."

All of which raises a question: Is owning the libs a worthwhile goal?

It's delicious to read that the left, whose sole argumentation tactic is falsely and incessantly calling their opposition racists, sexists, [insert attack]ists, are upset that the center and right are enjoying shutting down the lefts constant, ever present and baseless attacks.

It's as if a hulking r3t@rd is bitterly angry that the person he'd been randomly punching has finally backhanded him and made him look weak.

It is funny. "owning the libs" to me means that a person is proving people like you and cinque wrong and you lose your heads over it. It is very funny...but it is happening so much that it is becoming boring.

"Owning the Libs" is what is done here, everyday to Waco1947 and Cinque and others too numerous to mention

It'll do it every time

That's why I'm an "Anything But Another Democrat" guy

If you think trying to play "gotcha" is limited to the supporters of one political party, you are sadly mistaken.

"Owning the libs" is merely an idiomatic expression derived from its more familiar, yet essentially equivalent phrase, "speaking common sense and the truth".

I've come to believe that Waco47 is a bitter woman who says he's a preacher but really isn't. She's probably had several abortions, fells guilty and is not trying to use God to convince us they weren't sins to be forgiven. No way she's married either. No man would put up with her.

These are not our "sole" tactics but they are in our arsenal because they are true. But our biggest and best tactic is facts.
