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.

Be safe out there. Head on a swivel. Open carry.
Republicans felt this same disgust and anger with what was happening and instead of destroying, murdering, burning, fighting, vandalizing, etc. we just waited for the next election and voted our guy in office.
THAT'S how things work in the grown up world! That is how it has worked for as long as we have been a country and not a colony.
A whole lot of people in the US need to GROW UP, and learn how to take their lumps. Don't know how? Well, just watch the Conservatives. A better example of patience and forbearance they will not find (and we sat still for 12 years of liberal mismanagement, abuse of power and crime) !
Understand, Nicholas, that once the killing starts and the dogs of war are let loose, it will be a while before they are reigned back in again. It may seem like you and your friends have an opportunity to successfully conduct a revolution against “tyranny”...but it just seems that way. The outcome will be far different than you envision. Look at the chess board again and rethink your position.
Hitler woulda just killed this guy. Or given him to Fau...uh, Mengele.
Abortion
Total perversion of all kinds
Corruption (total) where they justify stealing huge sums of other peoples' money (up to trillions so far)
Silencing all opposition to their evil (has cost me several jobs)
Propogandizing our sources of information to brainwash people
Rationalizing and supporting evil acts such as those perpetrated against Rittenhouse, Metcalf, Riley and others. All assaults against conservatives fighting for this country.
Lying constantly
Prosecuting without cause
Federal Judges stopping righteous actions by the President to protect ALL people in this country and the integrity of this country.
THEN, you want to call for violence against us? Really?. It is time for ALL on the left to shut up. Now. To quote that famous line, "If you're going to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
Who is this “we’? The writer? He’d last about 10 seconds in a fire fight. Any formation of leftists would be more of a danger to each other than any supposed enemy. What delusion. If the right was a evil as these crazed freaks think, the freaks would all be history in a week
He means us. Trump was right when he said, "They're after you; I'm just in the way."
“This evil will not pass without blood, sweat, toil, and tears. So harden your hearts, and be prepared to die,” Decker said.
This pos talks a good game but I would bet in a one on one with any man (some women) he would whine and cry like a little girl not getting to get ticket to Taylor Swift. He probably can’t shoot to save his life either. Keyboard commando or I as I call them puxxxxs.
“…this little twit IS the totalitarian he thinks he's fighting….”
They’d never depict Mohammed, though. Their “freedom of speech” doesn’t extend that far.
Very well said. Complete miscalculation on his part.
He is more like the Soiled-Diaper Foundling Fatherless.
Say when.
Fantasies? Fantasy piece??
No. This is really how fanatical sociopaths think.
This moment will likely never ever happen, but just imagine the day that the majority of the Left finally realizes what they’ve been doing, and that they are actually the Bad Guys.
“”Trump has survived at least two assassination attempts,””
.
Three.
TDA at Mar-a-Lago.
.
we need to take these people seriously
“So harden your hearts, and be prepared to die,” Decker said
This boob has it backwards. Ya have to be prepared to kill.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill
They are not delusional.
They are evil.
Don’t try to candycoat pure evil with the excuse of mental illness.
You are right.
