In June of 2017 I wrote, “I’m old enough to remember when ‘violent rhetoric’ was the root of allour problems, and crosshairs on a website no one ever saw was the reason for mass murder.” It was in a piece entitled, “The Left Won’t Rest Until Someone Gets Killed.” I wrote about how Democrats “are stoking fears to the point that even the casual observer is left with the impression they’re hoping someone ‘corrects’ that accident. How else can one interpret the left’s continual equating of the president to Adolf Hitler? What is implied in saying the man’s actions on an otherwise insignificant international agreement ‘is a grave threat to our planet?’”
I’m no soothsayer – if I had the ability to see into the future I would have won the lottery multiple times by now – but it doesn’t take someone clairvoyant to see that the road Democrats have been marching down for years was going to end in death and destruction. Well, here we are, and it has only just begun.
Just 2 weeks later, my column was titled, “Liberals Got Their Blood, Will It Be Enough?” What happened in those 2 weeks? A Democrat, inspired by the left’s hyperbolic rhetoric on health care and a rabid fan of MSNBC, tried to murder as many Republicans as possible on a baseball field in northern Virginia.
The talk at the time was about how politicians needed to “bring down the tone” of the political talk – a classic “both sides” situation, like saying men need to stop raping women, but also women need to stop wearing such short skirts and making men want to rape them. That was the attitude at that time, that is the attitude at this time.
The closest thing to a sane Democrat is the guy with literal brain damage, Senator John Fetterman from Pennsylvania, who said he found it disgusting that so many of his fellow Democrats cheered Charlie Kirk’s murder.
About 20 minutes after celebrating Kirk’s murder, Democrats returned to calling everyone who refused to conform to their wishes a Nazi and demanding ICE agents “show their faces” because “if you have nothing to hide, why hide your identity?”
Well, the last guy who made is name seeking to have an “honest dialog” with you people was murdered by one of you, so maybe that’s why they’re hiding their faces?

Former Meet the Press host, Chuck Todd, said, “I’m not going to sit here and say ICE is bringing this on themselves…but why are we masking the agents when they come after people?” What’s your home address, Chuckie? He won’t give it, nor do I really want him to, but it should be enough for him to understand what he and his fellow travelers have created.
Chuck doesn’t want his home address out there because he doesn’t want anyone showing up to torment, or worse, him and his family. He also knows, though he’d never admit it, that threat comes mostly from the left – this is the monster they’ve created to attack the right and it’s now beyond their control.
When he was still employed, Chuck routinely was the target of online vitriol from the left for not being “progressive” enough. That’s how it has always worked with the left around the world – a purity test is initiated and a purge soon follows. Stalin, Hitler, Mao, etc., leftists always turn on their inner circles for a suspected impurity or simply because they out-lived their usefulness. For Chuck, it was that he’d have on the occasional guest that displeased MSNBC’s viewers by thinking for themselves.
You can see why he’d be scared.
But being a liberal means never being aware of the consequences of your actions – you’re compassionate in your advocacy of welfare programs, so you don’t notice or care about the destruction of the family they’ve caused.
Liberals just Mr. Magoo their way through life without ever being impacted by destruction in their wake. That’s going to end one day, how it ends will determine how, or even if, we continue as a country.
Sometimes, I don’t think we can continue, others I get more optimistic. It used to be the radical fringe of the Democrat Party was just that, a radical fringe. But they started electing their crazies, idolizing them, and no one in leadership had the guts to tell them to calm down. Nancy Pelosi bowed to them, Chuck Schumer soils himself over a primary challenge when he could have easily swatted these people down just a couple of years ago.
Now, blood-thirsty leftists who’d kill their own parents will soon run the show – they are the date-rapists of politics, they do not take “no” for an answer. If you think they give a damn about the bad publicity they’ve gotten from killing Kirk or trying to murder ICE agents, you haven’t been paying attention.
There will be more blood, there could be a lot of blood. It all boils down to who stops it, Democrats or Republicans. It would be best and much easier, and less bloody, if Democrats did it. These are their teammates, rejecting the evil is a more effective and permanent solution than it being conquered.
Sadly, I don’t think Democrats have it in them anymore. The ones inclined to stand up to violence fear the people doing it too much to say anything – and, as they say, silence is violence. The rest would rather co-opt the energy and message to protect their careers – the safety of blending into a crowd so as to avoid blame and responsibility.
And the media won’t report on it honestly either, they’re just as terrified of being bricked or shot by these leftists as anyone on their political side is.
I fear it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better, if it gets better at all. If the FBI and Department of Justice could worry less about their social media profiles and more about using the levers of power they only have access to for certain for a couple of more years, they could do some good with a serious, quick and thorough investigation of how these people operate and are funded. But the don’t seem serious enough. They only have about 2 years, at the most, before any case they bring would drag into the next administration, and if that’s a Democrat it will likely be dropped. Soon or it’s all for nothing.
I don’t mean to paint a picture of doom and gloom, or tell you to buy weapons to protect yourself, though you should. I’m just laying out what I see as possible, or in some cases probable, scenarios for how this all plays out.
Ideally, Democrats would handle their own; purge the party of the mentally unstable and evil, ending this whole problem now. But the people in power there saw this coming – this is as surprising as being hit by a train, which you can avoid with near certainty by not playing on train tracks.
The left played with fire, now they are on the cusp of burning down the entire country. Either they stop it or everyone else does, because you don’t really want to think about the third option.

Editor’s Note: Democrats are fanning the flames and raising the rhetoric by comparing ICE to the Gestapo, fascists, and secret police.
