The left’s embrace of violence has reached the edge of the cliff.
“The ultimate source of political power is, and always will be, violence,” George Mason University graduate student Nicholas Decker posted, promoting his recent Substack titled “When Must We Kill Them?”
Decker is working on his PhD in economics, but his post had nothing to do with President Trump’s economic policy. Instead, it was a fantasy piece about the left murdering Trump administration officials, including Trump, over some perceived attack on Americans’ freedom.
“Evil has come to America,” Decker said. “The present administration is engaged in barbarism; it has arbitrarily imprisoned its opponents, revoked the visas of thousands of students, imposed taxes upon us without our consent, and seeks to destroy the institutions which oppose it.”
“Its leader has threatened those who produce unfavorable coverage, and suggested that their licenses be revoked. It has deprived us, in many cases, of trial by jury; it has subjected us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and has transported us beyond seas to be imprisoned for pretended offenses. It has scorned the orders of our courts, and threatens to alter fundamentally our form of government. It has pardoned its thugs, and extorted the lawyers who defended its opponents,” he continued.
Decker’s feelings about the Trump administration are widely accepted as fact by many on the left and perpetuated by the media class, who suffer from Trump-hatred to such a degree that they openly call for “action in the streets” to push back. Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, now a senior political commentator for CNN, claimed that Trump has put America into “uncharted territory,” where the only course of action is to “take to the streets.”
The Bullwork’s Will Saletan argued just weeks before the November election that there wasn’t much time to stop Trump before he throws the country “deeper into autocracy.” He went on an 18-bullet point rant about Trump’s “embrace” of fascism, fanning the fires of hatred with dark rhetoric that could incite mentally ill people into action.
They’ve whipped an entire sect of the American far left into believing a dystopian reality where Trump is a fascist dictator willing to lock his political opponents in prison. The end result is that the far left is now not just advocating for protesting, but for an actual war on American soil.
“Protest is useful only insofar as it can effect action,” Decker argued.
“The rot of the present administration runs deeper than one man. The sacrifice of a hero is insufficient to save our nation, and a gust of wind on a summer day would not have saved us. For let us make no mistake; the problem is not one man, but a whole class of people. If one head is cut off, another would take its place,” he continued.
“Violence only makes sense as part of coordinated strategy. This is why protests are important – not as a way of changing the present administration’s actions, but as a way to coordinate a group. There may come a time when we shall have no guarantee of freedom but the one which we make for ourselves. If it comes, I tell you that there is no greater honor than he who lays down his life for his friends,” he added.
The same people who claimed that Trump’s words equalled violence are now firebombing Tesla dealerships and writing essays calling for war. This isn’t activism to “save Democracy,” it’s psychopaths masquerading as altruists.
Americans may not like what the left is advocating for, but it’s time they realize where we are as a country and what they are willing to do to regain power.
When Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, I thought we had reached the height of political violence. There might have been a moment of brief pause from the left, but as soon as they realized he was going to live, they reverted to their calls for violence and claims that Trump was a threat.
Trump has survived at least two assassination attempts, lawfare seeking to put him in prison for the rest of his life, and attacks on his business and family. He’s not alone. The left has gone after grandmothers praying outside abortion clinics, parents protesting LGBTQ and racist ideologies in school curriculum, and men protecting fellow passengers from a violent criminal. The left was nowhere to be found when the innocent were being sought out by their own.
They care about saving the people whom they perceive to be “on their side,” the rest deserve to face a violent end.
“This evil will not pass without blood, sweat, toil, and tears. So harden your hearts, and be prepared to die,” Decker said.
Listen to the left when they talk. Their rhetoric is filled with hatred and violence. Reading Decker’s post makes me incredibly sad. Here is a 20-something man, studying for a doctorate, who has his whole life ahead of him, but his writing exposes the dark reality of the rotten culture within the left.

Sounds like the same spew from 1968, 1974, 1982, and so on. Young people have a tendency to shoot off their mouths about needing “violence” quite often.
If it comes to it, I’m ready.
I pray it doesn’t come to that.
What a self-centered, depraved rant.
A modern Thomas Paine (in the azz) he is.
What a self-centered, depraved rant.
Lies beginning to end.
It’s all the left has to work with.
I’d say he’s due for a visit from the Secret Service for threatening violence against the President and his staff.
Therefore .. what?
I thought the article was going to end, saying this graduate student had been suspended for what he had written and presented to the public. At very least, I expected some sort of reprimand from his academic employers.
This is as alarming as that so called ‘Art’ now on display at Kent State University. The drawing which depicts Trump being bladed.
Ditto
Best we prefer the former. Cut off the money.
Same here. They are dangerously delusional.
Aside from this buffoon being responsible for his own actions, I lay the a lot of the blame for this behavior at the feet of the lamestream media and the Democrats. They continue to run cover for these angry zealots. Other than all out violent confrontation, the only other way out of this mess is for the lamestream presstitutes to start call out this far left behavior for what it really is.
His calendar is off by a couple of years.
Obama/Biden are not in office anymore.
When we must kill them? Is that what he said? Kill us? Conservative Americans? Us? Ummm, this little twit IS the totalitarian he thinks he's fighting.
Got news for him - we're not impressed with his BS - - he needs to prop up his hate with more than grandiose words... for example over 80% of Americans support deporting criminal illegals. Which by the way IS established law. They aren't 'deprived of their rights' they're here illegally. And we put criminals in jails too.
Let the twit give some real life examples for "imprisoned opposition:... names numbers. What a load of crap.
I know. I know.
Trump pushed through the largest tax *cut* in US History.
What is this twink smoking?
Not going to be so easy to “kill them” as one might think.
Socialists always paint all opposition as doing what they themselves actually do. But painting them as a threat to existence, rather than liberators and getting rid of those evil, non-conforming people who oppose socialism.
