They're going to try to memory-hole this, but we can't forget that the Left put America through a reign of terror after 2020. This is some of what they did to me and my family, in an attempt to shut me up:
When I was in Seattle, they put up posters around my neighborhood with insane lies about me and my home address, instructing activists to show up at my door. Later, they sent letters to a few hundred of my neighbors, claiming I was a Nazi white supremacist. Death threats, references to my family, the whole deal. A few times, we had to take the kids and leave town.
One of these activists found one of my children at the park with the babysitter and yelled at him until he started crying. My son came home terrified, so I figured out who this person was—a software developer in the neighborhood—got his number, called him, delivered some "persuasive" words, and forced him to apologize to my son over the phone. I made sure he was much more frightened than my son.
The same group organized employees within Microsoft to bomb my wife's boss with emails claiming she was a white supremacist. Thankfully, he thought it was strange for her to be an Asian white supremacist and knew it was all a fabrication. I tracked down the ringleader and, "coincidentally," he was fired a few months later. He overestimated his position and underestimated mine.
Then there were the calls and texts to our private numbers. Threats to rape my wife and murder my children. At one point, I was working with the FBI about it, but the perpetrators had used number-cloaking apps and there was nothing law enforcement could do. I thought we had a lead in St. Louis and hired a private investigator to look into it, but the trail went cold. We fortified our home and studied the law. I was prepared to kill anyone who crossed the threshold.
The institutions got in on it, too. Organized campaigns to ruin my reputation, manipulate my Wikipedia page, cancel my speaking engagements, and list me on the websites of the SPLC and ADL, in an attempt to get me banned from social media. The censorship apparatus put a target on my back and the federal government egged them on. Fortunately, they all failed.
For years, I refused to publicly acknowledge much of what happened to my family—I didn't want to give my enemies the satisfaction—but now is the time to get it out and address it. My experience is hardly unique; many other conservatives have faced similar circumstances. It's about CRT, DEI, and all of the other intellectual issues, but even more, it's about having a society free of threats, violence, intimidation, and madness.
These are Twitter/X fights. He is now on Twitter calling Cathy Young an ugly hag and Thomas Chatterton Williams a retard. All because they only agree with him on 80% of the issues and are therefore 20% enemies.
