For us to do nothing before we lose to violent-leaning people would be cowardice. We have so much good to fight for, but fighting against violent communists who want to destroy us should be enough.
"As the Declaration of Independence was being debated, Ben Franklin stood, proclaiming, “We must indeed hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” The founding fathers would fight an empire that wanted to kill them. We face a similar problem today, but from within. Today, we face different issues. But make no mistake: What Franklin said echoes down to us in a truth we must acknowledge.
We encounter a growing civil divide that is moving from warm to hot, fighting not only a derelict left that embraces bad attitudes and ideas, but also many leftists who want to harm their opponents. The left has headed over the edge, has been heading there for years, and leftists’ resolve and rage grow with each month. They have become a group that embraces violence, up to and including the murder of those on the center-right whom they disagree with, and particularly those most effective in our movement.
Their leaders have an audience, a large constituency, that has slowly become numb to the left’s violent speech and actions. Virtually one third of the Democrat party members agree that it would be good if President Trump were assassinated. These are not a few random people. Yes, much of the rank and file may not say these things, or be murderous people, but the big problem is that they ignore the rhetoric and real violence. They remain silent.
That is more than unsettling.
When you factor in the rise of Hasan Piker as one of the left’s newly minted chief spokesmen, you know there is a flood of sympathy from most leftists to using violence as a major tactic. He wants “capitalist blood in the streets.” He leans into Islamic superiority. He hates this country. The silent majority of leftists agree.
Heck, many on the left celebrated the first “Kirkaversity,” making fun of Charlie Kirk’s murder and those who loved him. I saw no one on the left upset or even mildly challenging this kind of disgusting behavior. In the world of high-stakes poker, you would call this a “tell.” They have become numb to violence and ugly rhetoric. They now expect it, swimming in a sea of complicity.
All this to say, Houston, we have a problem. The left appears to want harm inflicted on MAGA-supporters, all because we support the MAGA movement, Trump, and the new conservatism. Not only is Trump derangement syndrome real, but the 24/7 news cycle supporting TDS was highly effective. It has made a swath of our citizenry angry enough to kill, or at least condone killing those they disagree with." . . . More...
They want to get rid of Trump by any means possible "The Left has become increasingly violent in its assessment of Donald Trump and his administration. Its derangement seems to know no bounds, and many on the Left are prepared to see him cast out of the presidency. Democratic politicians who embrace this attitude are to blame for ramping up the heat and hatred toward him, and they should be mortified by their own rhetoric.
"But their rage continues unabated.
One recent poll by the Center for Strategic Politics, conducted in conjunction with the liberal pollster Liberal Currents, has verified the escalating rancor:
Indeed, support for an impeachment, conviction, and removal received the highest amount of support, with 75% of respondents feeling ‘very positive’ about that route. Being removed via the 25th Amendment was a close second at 70%, Trump passing away ‘overnight in his sleep’ received a shocking 45%, and being removed by a military coup as a means to ‘safeguard the Constitution’ sits at a 43% ‘very positive’ ranking.
"Support for assassination registered at 29%." . . .More.
