It should be no surprise that less than a year after a Bernie Sanders fan took a rifle and attempted to erase the Congressional GOP for the crime of having different political views that some cretin decided to send Donald Trump Jr. a packet of mystery white powder. After all, Don Jr. is not a progressive, so don’t his and his family deserve to be terrorized, if not murdered?
Or did I misunderstand the progressives’ stand by their near total silence?
Well, not total silence. The Twitter left sure had a ball with it, yukking it up. Dousing someone in fake anthrax – hilarious! And totally justified, in their minds, because Don Jr. supports his father and is conservative. That makes it okay. In fact, let’s help by posting his home address!
Serves him right, and his family too, right? It’s cool to make his wife rush to the hospital because her husband supports an opposing politician (who is his father) and because he has different political ideas than leftists. And if his children get involved, well, so much the better. That’ll teach him for having dissenting views.
Yeah, that’s where we are today in this country today. But these people better think carefully about where we will be tomorrow.
This madness must stop, but will this latest atrocity change anything? Threats, violence, and targeting family members – these are all in play now, and where are the Democrats coming out and telling their psychotic followers to knock it off?
That’s a laugh, but not one that’s ha-ha funny.
The leaders on the left are entirely AWOL, and that’s because even those whose shriveled, shrunken hearts still retain some tiny grain of decency and understand this is disgusting and barbaric can’t risk saying so out loud. To stand up and say, “Hey, maybe we should not terrorize the families of our political opponents” would only serve to normalize the opposition.
Psst, that means people like you and me.
No, the Democrat leaders won’t do that. None of them. None of them dares, because their own voters will crucify them if they take a stand against progressive hate and terrorism against conservatives. No, not even the ones who know it’s wrong to send a family fake anthrax, and certainly not the many who secretly – or thanks to social media and its remarkable ability to compel evil people to reveal themselves, proudly – approve.
After all, the victim is someone who supports President Trump, and he and his family deserve whatever happens to them. I guess our progressives learned from their new besties in North Korea.
These progressives mutter about complicity, but as always, it’s projection. They are complicit in this cruelty – they recognize no moral boundaries when it comes to retaking power from Donald Trump and the Normals who elected him.
None.
Anything goes.
See, Trump is Hitler and therefore anyone who supports him has forfeited his rights, including the right to not be terrorized.
The braying jackals of the left demand that no one “normalize” anyone affiliated with the guy who won the Electoral College, which is what picks our president whenever the Democrat wins and at no other time. But what they are really doing with their shameful silence is to dehumanize their opponents.
That’s you and me too, folks, not just Don Jr. and his wonderful family. We don’t toe the lefty line, and so we aren’t human and should not be treated as such.
The FBI can buy manufactured evidence to spy on us, and that’s okay. We aren’t human.
The IRS can persecute us if we try to exercise our right to participate in the political process, and that’s okay. We aren’t human.
Some Sanders fan who no doubt had a COEXIST sticker on his minivan can shoot up a bunch of Republicans, and that’s okay. We aren’t human.
Maybe his family getting sent fake anthrax will teach Don Jr. some obedience.
Let’s slide past the hideous moral bankruptcy of this way of thinking and get to the practical problem with normalizing terrorism and dehumanizing opponents. It creates a set of new rules, and the complicit liberal elite better think really hard about whether they truly want those new rules in effect. After all, they enacted new rules regarding vicious campaigning and then Trump came and wiped out Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit using them.
Do you liberals really want new rules allowing violence and terrorism?
Do you liberals really want new rules allowing denormalizing your political opponents?
Do you liberals really want new rules allowing dehumanizing your political opponents?
You may think you do now, but trust me, you really don’t.
Take heed: You are going to hate the new rules.
There is a way out, a way that is obvious to anyone of good faith and common sense, and since it’s always a leftist attacking Republicans, the Democrat leadership needs to lead the way. The way out is to join together with the President and other conservatives and unequivocally reject violence and terror.
Not obliquely.
Not with clichés.
No with a smirk and a wink.
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and all the other key Democrat leaders must stand on a stage beside Donald Trump and Don Jr. and say, without qualification that this is unacceptable and wrong. Then they and their minions in politics and in their pet press must stop with the non-stop, psycho-fueling hate for their conservative opponents – not the political disagreements but the senseless, drooling venom that infects the MSNBCs and the Twitters and all the rest.
But that will never happen.
The sad fact is that a Democrat who showed that kind of character is finished in today’s Democrat Party. His career would be over. Hate is now a Democrat job qualification.
The liberal base does not care if a few conservatives are frightened or hurt or even killed – they don’t consider us human anyway.
Now, look below at the commenters howling that this isn’t true. They’ll be plenty.
Fine. If some Democrat leaders stand up like I’ve suggested, I will be delighted to admit that I am wrong – pleasantly, happily wrong.
But that won’t happen. It can’t.
It is not politically possible for a Democrat politician today to take a meaningful, serious stand in opposition to leftist terror aimed at conservatives – even assuming the politician isn’t giggling off-camera about Don Jr.’s family being frightened and believing it serves them right for daring to have different political views.
But they won’t be laughing down the road. When you normalize hate, you end up with hate being normalized for everyone. You do not want that. You really don’t. Stop the madness.
Otherwise, you will learn to hate the new rules.
It works a lot of times and no one calls them on it so why should they?
Every "progressive" revolution in history was quickly followed by the mass murder of the political opponents, who had been dehumanized for the years leading up to the takeover. The Dems WANT this, and need this. It is a huge part of their playbook. There are no exceptions to this rule. Hillary didn't "slip" when she called us Deplorables, she was helping to further dehumanize us. It's the only way to let the population stand idly by, or help, as we are being punished for our opposition to their supremacy.
Gosh, if we ask real polite maybe they’ll stop beating and terrorizing us??
What happens when the average person decides that the Left, by all that they say and do (and have said and done), is an existential threat?
That decision has been made
The left is an existential threat.
If Trump is ousted, there will be blood in the streets
The animal that shot up the school in Florida yesterday belongs to Antifa !
Thank you for contacting me regarding your support for President Trump. I appreciate hearing from you and having this opportunity to respond.
On the campaign trail, President Trump spoke of the need to promote fair trade policies and renegotiate trade deals that have hurt the U.S., like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). I agree with President Trump that we need to promote sustainable trade policies that will bring jobs back to the U.S. while protecting America’s workers, consumers, and industries. That’s why I introduced H.Res. 132, a resolution which calls on President Trump to initiate the renegotiation of NAFTA in order to get a deal that is better for the U.S., or consider withdrawing us altogether as he promised during his campaign. My resolution outlines the most essential provisions which must be included in any replacement trade deal in order to bring jobs back to the U.S. and put our workers and our nation’s sovereignty first, as President Trump declared he would do.
Additionally, President Trump and I share a common desire to increase federal investment in our nation’s infrastructure. On the campaign trail he talked about investing a trillion dollars, funding that would be well-spent putting hundreds of thousands of people to work, making our country more competitive, and getting people out of traffic congestion. As Ranking Member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I have several ideas about how to fund that investment, without increasing the size of the deficit, and I have shared those ideas with President Trump, Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, and their staff. I look forward to working with them to address this critical issue.
President Trump has also spoken about the need to bring down outrageous drug prices. Currently, pharmaceutical companies consistently take advantage of the lack of generic competition in their market and jack up the prices of pharmaceuticals as high as 525 percent. Using monopoly pricing tactics is an egregious tactic that out-prices Americans from medicine they need. Americans want this administration and Congress to stand up to pharmaceutical companies and negotiate fair drug prices. In a prior Congress, the Republicans passed legislation prohibiting the government from negotiating lower prices for Medicare Part D. I am working on legislation repealing that prohibition and giving the authority to President Trump to negotiate lower prices.
I will continue to look for places where we can work together. When I find it necessary to disagree with this administration and their proposed policies, as I have with every president, Democrat or Republican, I will do my best to represent my district and the needs of my constituents, Oregon, and our country as best I can.
Thanks again for contacting me. Please keep in touch. Sincerely, U.S. REPRESENTATIVE PETER DeFAZIO Fourth Congressional District, Oregon
Obama led the way and did great harm to this country. His choosing that creepy artist who paints pictures of black women defiantly holding the severed heads of white women.
The objective? Create a hostile environment. Increase fear and anxiety. Lower achievement. Dumb them down even further. All part of the plan.
I think you can intimidate Mitch McConnell by waving a big stick at him and shouting “boo”.
That’s right Libs,,, just keep poking the bear...
Thank you for posting this. Kurt is truly a hero fo the right, right up there with our own Travis McGee.
” Obama led the way and did great harm to this country. His choosing that creepy artist who paints pictures of black women defiantly holding the severed heads of white women. “
Just when you think they can’t stoop any lower, (Obamas, dems, left) they find something even more revolting to provoke us ‘normals’...
It doesn’t “provoke”...it grows my determination to crush LIBs and their ilk (politically, of course).
I saw, in some forum comments on various news sites, some of the leftist agitators were gloating about how, when Hillary wins, conservatives are finally going to be rounded up and taken care of.
It is not surprising that the left is still salivating over the idea of (once again) implementing their final solution. It is the inevitable outcome of socialism. Opposing the powerful can never be tolerated, and the powerful need scapegoats to keep the rest of the subjects in line.

Boy, I bet they must have hated it when Trump won, huh?
