All they have to do is not be crazy
American Thinker ^ | 24 Sep, 2025 | Kevin Finn

One would think that the path to electoral success is straightforward — govern with sanity, respect the rule of law, and avoid alienating the moderate center. Instead we see the Left entangled in a web of extremism, inflammatory rhetoric, and outright violence that even their own marionettes in the media can’t ignore.

All the Left has to do is not be crazy, and they can’t even do that.

Even The Atlantic, a bastion of leftist commentary, has grudgingly admitted that left-wing terrorism is on the rise. Since Trump first came down the escalator in Trump tower to announce his candidacy in 2015, leftists have executed dozens of violent incidents that rivals that of the Weather Underground’s rampage in the 1970s. The Biden era’s dismissal of Antifa as a mere idea rings hollow against these facts. The left’s radical fringe, emboldened by years of “resistance” hysteria, is torching its own credibility.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has sparked not mourning from leftists, but a deluge of vitriol that highlights the Democrat (they’re not democratic) party’s moral rot. At the Charlie Kirk memorial, a deranged protester screamed at a pregnant attendee, “I hope your baby dies!” — a video captured this vile outburst as the horrified woman shielded her belly. The heckler brandished a sign demanding televised public executions and, when confronted, she sneered, “Words, words, you’re getting mad over words?” Elsewhere, vigils devolved into brawls: an Antifa-linked minor punched a Trump supporter and brandished a knife in Massachusetts, while a Florida protester shoved a 73-year-old woman to the pavement, fracturing her skull.

When you are crazy it is hard to not be crazy.

Indeed. A person of sound mind and temperament has to be careful and not engage in public discourse with crazy people.

Someone observing the exchange might not be able to tell the difference.

They have no reason to stop. They have passed laws and policies that punish those who don’t go along with their crazy.

I’m hoping the left will awake the sleeping giant and he’ll be quite pissed at them.

The problem is, some kind of "crazy" give pleasure to the afflicted. This makes them very hard to cure.

Never interfere when your enemy is destroying himself.

That was the genius of Charlie Kirk. He engaged the crazies and you could always tell the difference.

So many of them majored in Crazy at college. Now it’s a full-time career.

I agree. That was the beauty of the man.

So very hard to believe he’s gone.

Exactly. They are losing the political battle, now they are resorting to violence and killing. The only thing on their platform is: Agree with us and participate in our evil, or, we'll kill you.

I've watched a lot of police bodycam videos lately and women seem to almost always disobey police and get arrested. If the cop says "don't do this or you'll be arrested", their response is instant defiance. It's as if the police gave them tacit permission to act up.

This is like the Left when people say "Don't be violent", they become violent because their handlers have given them permission to be.

Then the Soros-backed judges and police chiefs turn them loose with little or no punishment, what is their motivation to behave?

I believe about six months after leaving college, even if they majored in Crazy, they have to begin paying off their student loans.

If they were not already over the edge, that first bill just may be a trigger.

(fictional quote borrowed from the Bible)
Jesus: “Before they hated you, the hated me, and Charlie Kirk.”

As any parent knows; if you let a two year old rage uncontrollably, you only encourage, and get violent behaviors later on.
These uncontrolled democrat-programmed ragebots are like Manchurian ticking time bombs.
They’ve been drugged instead of parented, placated instead of nurtured, or disciplined, and programmed to believe they are only a clump of cells that are bound by no moral north, and south. That truth itself is subjective.

I fear we are entering a very dark future.
