I’d wager everything I own that 90% of the hacks at Rat Party Headquarters wept when they discovered that DJT survived Butler,PA.

Define violence. Define/classify political goals.

The Culture of Death. They don’t care about babies in the womb or for older people. As long as they can live in their lustful, self-important lives they will be happy. They feign support for “causes” because it makes them appear to “care”, but they are only interested in themselves and their “feelings”.

They’ll point to our founders as justified violence.

Per Webster:

violence
noun
vi·​o·​lence ˈvī-lən(t)s
ˈvī-ə-
Synonyms of violence
1
a
: the use of physical force so as to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy
b
: an instance of violent treatment or procedure

NOTE THE CONTEXT OF THE POLL:

This was taken after Charlie Kirk’s murder.

25% say they’re okay with ‘violence’ to accomplish goals.

Go check out Dem Underground, 4chan, etc. and you’ll see “HIT LISTS” of the next in line for assassination.

Trump has the Secret Service. The rest on the list don’t.

Remember years ago an Obama official. Woman speaking to a group of graduates said her favorite book - all the books in the world - what was her favorite? Mao’s Little Red Book.

She said, quoting Mao, “All power comes form the barrel of a gun.”

They genuinely believe they’re in an alternate universe of “fascist” Trump and are avengers.

They believe they are men or women ‘born in the wrong body.’

They believe they are animals - cats, dogs, etc. (furries).

They believe “That wasn’t real Marxism” about the Soviet Union, Cuba, etc. but we’ll get it right next time!

They will murder however many people willing to stand in their way to achieve their goal of destroying the West and will collaborate with Islamists to do it if needed.

They are the party of crime…. I am surprised the number isnt higher. Is there even such a thing as a moderate leftist? They are almost all exclusively “far left” since DJT came on to the scene.

context matters ... if the presumption is that there is freedom of speech and of the press, that there are fair elections, and especially if you can leave the city or the state or the country, then no political violence can be justified.

On the other hand, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, “a long train of abuses” can justify rebellion.

Unfortunately, there still are many places in the world lacking the basics in terms of political freedom. Thinking about it, one of the justifications of democracy is peaceful change of government.

I wonder what Jane Fonda thinks. All lefties should answer that question but you won’t get anywhere. Long-winded answers that change the subject.

Agree.

Contest matters.

Charlie Kirk is murdered.

Poll taken asking if political violence is okay.

25% of libs say, “Yes.”

Another poll today said only 8% (!!!) believe the shooter was a liberal.

Libs live in an alternate reality as there are no ‘facts’ - there’s only political spin.

There are no ‘immutable characteristics’ there’s only an amorphous gender.

These folks are mentally ill and demon possessed.

That’s why they hate Trump so much. He’s got them coming out of the woodwork for all to see. Bushies don’t get it.

Fox put up an interesting poll. +90% of Boomers said they were against politically motivated violence while 58% or Gen Z were fine with it.

It’s a primitive, subhuman barbarian/communist thing. They all think they are a bunch of midget Genghis Khans. Yellow bellied cowards who can’t win an argument. Assassination is the only way they can sell THEIR garbage and sewage to their ignorant followers.

The Bush types will never get it. They are stuck in their country club mindset while the other side is fighting a guerilla war against the mainstream of this country.

Thurston Howell vs. Fidel Castro.

“a
: the use of physical force so as to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy
b
: an instance of violent treatment or procedure”

1. That definition includes the use of physical force in self defense.

2. As I read in reference to violence these days, some people consider words to be violent, not just physical actions.

3. Some definitions of violence limit it to the criminal use of force, apparently excluding “justifiable force” from the definition.

4. Would you consider the Founders “use of physical force so as to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy” the redcoats as justifiable violence to achieve political goals, or not?
