Just How Far Will the Left Go?
American Greatness ^ | 7-23-2018 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 07/23/2018 5:54:21 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

There was no honeymoon for the unlikely winner of the 2016 election. Progressives have in succession tried to sue to overturn Trump’s victory using several different approaches. First on the bogus claim of fraudulent voting machines. Then they sought to subvert the Electoral College by bullying electors into renouncing their respective states’ votes.

Massive protests and boycotts marked the inauguration. Then there were articles of impeachment introduced in the House. Some sued to remove Trump on a warped interpretation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. Others brought in psychiatrists to testify that Trump was ill, disabled, or insane and should be removed in accordance with the 25th Amendment. The former FBI director, CIA director, and director of the Office of National Intelligence have variously smeared the president as a coward, a traitor, and a Russian mole.

The globalists control both parties and kept US busy with the Left vs Right stuff so we didn’t notice they were both stealing our country from US.

I agree that when the Democrats do not make any significant gains in the November election and any hope of impeaching Trump evaporates, the radicals will take to the streets with violence. They will attempt to provoke armed conflicts with conservative groups and may even resort to political assassinations. Of course the spittle spewing foaming at the mouth liberal media will continue to whip the radicals to a frenzy. I fear the violence could escalate to the point where martial law might be imposed.

Another brilliant essay by one of America’s foremost military historians and political commentators. I especially like his description of President Donald J. Trump as a pugilist — a man who fights. The more the leftists scream and fling poo, the more Mr. Trump kicks dirt right back at them and drives them insane with quick, sharp punches to their fragile snowflake egos. MAGA!

They are, already, practicing violent solutions, and The Left, of BOTH political parties, will continue to do so, no matter what happens, on November ‘18 and beyond.

The left has no constraints on their behavior. They like to say you can be a “good” person without God. They take for granted that “good” is defined, in this culture, by Judeo-Christian ethics that have been woven into our culture over millennia. Their very concept of “good” is absorbed by growing up in this culture, not appreciating where it came from.

As they evolve in their godless beliefs, the more we see that they have nothing to define “good”. Their behavior becomes more and more unhinged - or “evil”, by another word. These people are showing signs of demonic behavior. The worst part is that it is a collective mob too.

We are truly moving into end-times. These people have no constraints and will, eventually, do anything necessary to achieve the destruction of anything that represents freedom and the Judeo-Christian view of the world. It is inevitable.

How far will they go? There are no limits, no ethical boundaries, nothing but the concept of “by any means necessary” or “the end justifies the means”. They’re in the media, academia, Hollywood, and the government - already weaponized by our prior POTUS.

You can already notice the lack of political bumper stickers or alike. Nobody will admit support for PDJT publicly and the far left has no candidate or message. It’s like the calm before the storm. The media has been so divisive, especially CNN, it’s as though they’re working for the Russian’s ;p ...it’s not like they’ve haven’t done it before (aligned with Saddam Hussein).

Libtard neighbor asked why I have "assault weapons".....told her, "to kill communists and progressives before they try to kill us"....and walked away. You should have seen her face.

However good it may have felt to say it, there are some things it is not wise to say to rabid Leftists. You can be sure she's repeated your statement to every Democrat in your neighborhood, telling them "OMG, he plans to kill us all!"

I cannot fathom why ANYONE in their right mind would even want to live in a city, much less close to one.

“Reminds me of the NeverTrump idiots on our side.”

Our NeverTrump idiots are more vile and dangerous than the rats who profess their NeverTrump insanity!

“It’s going to be BAD through the Election in November.

It is going to be BAD right up to January 20, 2025, when he completes his 2nd term. I’m also betting that they will continue to attack him even after he leaves the White House.

No doubt, hopefully their low ratings will put half of them out of business prior to then.

Spanish Civil war.

Finnish Civil War.

Swiss Civil War.

Seems like a theme. When the communist goals are blocked at the ballot box, violence. When they succeed, Violence.

I don’t vote anymore......its pointless. We’re having a special election for State Senate, our sitting State Senator, Carlos Uresti is heading off to jail on fraud and money laundering conviction.

6 Guys running for the seat. All Mexican. Voting is utterly pointless at this stage of the game.

And the Alamo is going to be a shrine to the Mexican martyrs killed by the evil racist white oppressors. They’ll be erecting statues of Santa Anna and Pancho Villa in the near future.

I'm glad 60 million of us thought otherwise on November 8, 2016. Or we would really be screwed.

I do not respect people who sit on their hands. I live in deep blue state Connecticut but I still get out to vote every time. Eventually, I'll get enough good people to go along with me and we'll flip some seats. I think the Republican candidate for governor here (Mark Boughton) has a chance. But we need to get out and vote.
