One Tweet That Perfectly Captures How Dems Are Approaching Debate Right Now

In 2015, our own Guy Benson wrote End of Discussion, which delved into how the institutional Left shuts down debate and discussion. It started with trigger warnings, speech codes, and other nonsensical progressive protocols aimed at nuking the falsification process. It’s a sign that their arguments were weak, unpopular, and easily debunked. Hidden underground, avoiding those with differing views, these people have turned into the Morlocks. The new mantra is if they can’t censor it, they shoot it. And the polling confirms that. There can’t be a discussion because liberals are perched on rooftops, taking shots at us.

YouGov made it clear: liberals are five times more likely to endorse or support the killing of one’s political rivals. Donald J. Trump wrecked the Left’s systems of censorship. He kicked three of the four legs supporting this system. Democrats undid the rest of it, lying about COVID in 2020. With no means to debate, no critical thinking to be had since they opted to remain in their insular, exclusionary, and utterly unhinged urban and coastal enclaves, the Left became more adroit at trotting out insane ideas and shutting down anyone who voiced concerns or, God forbid, a contrary opinion. 

I think a debate about whether agreeing wholesale that men can be women (they can’t), and genital mutilation surgery for minors was legitimate health care, might have been prudent before going down a path of abject insanity on this issue. It’s so nuts that even the Europeans are shutting down the transanity. But Trump said something about it, so we must do the opposite on steroids. It’s made Democrats look anti-science, among many, many other things. 

Now, Charlie Kirk has been assassinated, an ICE detention facility in Dallas, Texas, has been attacked, and we have an attorney general candidate, Jay Jones, in Virginia who openly wished death upon his Republican colleagues and their families. Why? Jones believes that once pain is inflicted on his enemies, they will change their opinions. The text messages from Mr. Jones, which date back to 2022, are beyond disqualifying, but Democrats seem okay with it, because they somehow know the real Jones. Whatever that means. I’m sure John Wayne Gacy’s neighbors and friends said the same thing about him until police found what he was burying in the crawl space. Gacy would be defended by today’s Democratic Party, rape, murder—all of it—if he were vital to the movement. In 2020, he reportedly hoped that police officers would die during a debate about qualified immunity. 

The Democratic Party is so infatuated with its own causes that, coupled with self-righteous extremism, it has made it highly susceptible to political violence and domestic terrorism. We cannot reason with our enemies; we must kill them. That’s the marching order. And it’s repeated endlessly, on network news and programs like The View, where the GOP is demonized 24/7. Will Chamberlain had the perfect tweet to capture today's Democratic Party's approach toward debate:

The Democrat-media complex, the party, the legacy press—they’re all in on the operation to activate their supporters to commit acts of violence and mayhem against those with whom they disagree. It’s the Manchurian Candidate, except the brainwashing is happening in real-time, and en masse. It’s not a small squad; it’s half the country. And no one needs to show a queen of hearts to trigger these people. Calling someone Hitler, a fascist, or a threat to democracy, etc., is all that’s needed to get the ball rolling. They tried to kill Trump twice, they assassinated Charlie Kirk, and now ICE agents are next on the Democratic Party hit list. 

When do we fight back? Because the time for discussion is over, I feel. We don’t need to turn down the rhetoric, since we didn’t do or say anything wrong. We’re normal, and liberal America is very much not.

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
