An Open Letter to Democrats - Are You Sure that this is What You Want?
Flopping Aces ^ | 10-01-25 | Brother Bob

Posted on 10/02/2025 6:00:29 AM PDT by Starman417

It's taken some time to properly gather my thoughts after Charlie Kirk's Assassination, and particularly around the aftermath. I started with making the theme of my Week in Radical Leftism roundup, asking if a Civil War is now inevitable. The quick summary is that the post didn't look at Democrats as a whole around the country, but rather how the Democratic Party's leadership has been acting since President Trump's return to office. Tonight I want to talk about what I've observed both in articles as well as what I've seen from people I know personally in my social media feeds.

I remain a recovering Facebook addict, approaching seven years since leaving that cesspool. But I still have to pop in occasionally because of how or neighborhood and local schools use it. And in the days immediately following Charlie Kirk's assassination I had to be careful not to linger. Needless to say, Facebook's rage algorithms pushed posts straight to the top of my feed when I opened the page for my daily quick check in. Thankfully, nothing I saw included the psychopaths dancing on Kirk's grave, but the few I saw can be summed up as "Don't tell me I'm supposed to feel bad for someone getting killed who said things I don't like." One was mad at Kirk's attacks on DEI, suggesting that it diminished the accomplishments of his mom & sisters (The poster was black). Fair point, and I'd counter that the DEI hires actually diminish the accomplishments of anyone in those categories who genuinely earned their achievements. The rest that I glimpsed were either out of context quotes or outright falsehoods. Needless to say, I didn't engage any of them. But their arguments were completely irrelevant compared to a far more serious side to their reactions.

Let's break this down the Charlie Kirk assassination to it's most basic elements. Somebody with a set of beliefs travelled to places where he knew his word would be unwelcome, allowing others to voice their disagreement. Eventually, someone who disagreed was radicalized enough to murder him (And as I re-read that while editing, it might come off like I'm trying to compare Charlie to Jesus. I'm not - pure coincidence if it reads that way). This man's wife had to see her husband get murdered. His children will forever have a lasting impression of their father being killed in cold blood. And Charlie's parents got to live every parent's worst nightmare - not just outliving any of your kids, but having it immortalized on video for you to see. It doesn't matter how much you dislike someone who had never done anything to you personally, the only correct response to someone being murdered is sorrow, along with thoughts and prayers. Kurt Schlichter broke down the various stages that The Radical Left went through to rationalize a murder with his usual subtlety, Democrats, Tell Your Perverted Allies to Stop Murdering People. To briefly recap:

Friendly advice, Lefties. If you think that making a pudgy, unfunny, lying Hollywood talking head your unofficial mascot, google the name "Michael Moore." You tried this two decades ago, and how did the John Kerry presidency work out for you? Like Moore, Kimmel might look like a hero to the freaks, but neither has any appeal to the Normals.

This isn't a slippery slope - this kind of devaluation of human life is is a slope of solid ice covered in butter and being navigated on a toboggan made of banana peels. If one side normalizes this attitude towards people who commit the heinous crime of disagreement, where do you think this will go?

Of course, we already have our answer. It came in the form of the many psychopaths who shared online their glee in celebrating Charlie's murder. This actually surprised me - not misunderestimating Leftist psychosis, but rather the being completely oblivious to the last decade of cancel culture. Retribution was swift and brutal. Posters got identified and outed, and their employers were quickly alerted to the mental state of their employees. These led to a wave of terminations, also which got posted online. And The Radical Left howled in protest - "HYPOCRISY! You were the ones complaining about Cancel Culture!" they shrieked. But us Normals simply shrugged, using their phrase of "accountability culture". You're just mad that we've overrun your artillery, flipped the cannons around, and you're now having your own ordnance raining down on your heads. And completely independent of any kind of schadenfreude, there is a far more serious reason for us Normals to support these firings. If I'm rocking a MAGA hat when I order food at a diner, I don't want to have to wonder if my waitress isn't dropping drain cleaner into my coffee. Not that would ever happen, only because 1) I don't drink coffee, and 2) while I like patriotic gear, I think that only (rectal cavities) wear political hats/shirts outside of political events. But that's just me - your mileage may vary. That said, as an employer, why would you risk your business over one of your employees advocating for physical harm to people who are of no threat to them? This goes across any profession, especially the more high profile ones. If you're working for the government, or even worse, are teaching, you've got to see the problem here. Personally, I think these people exhibit a level of psychosis that warrants being institutionalized, but that's just me.

And that brings me to the point of this post. Lefties, if your continuous howls for President Trump to "Lower the temperature" were the reason for the recent violence, why has all of the recent violence been committed by Leftists? Shouldn't there be a serious MAGA body count? We all know the reason it's the case, even if you Lefties can't admit it. Ours is the side of morality and patience, while yours is the side of irrationality and emotional outbursts. But to steal a  line I remember Dave Barry writing years ago: "Am I generalizing? Yes. But whenever I do in these situations, I remind myself that I don't care." Kidding aside, one only need to look at the masses' reactions to the deaths of St. George Floyd of Fentanyl vs. Charlie. But how long will this last?

In the years before TPUSA took off, Steven Crowder preceded Charlie Kirk's talks with what became so widespread that it become a meme of "Change my Mind" tables that he'd set up in generally hostile environments (campuses, downtown cities) and engage the locals. And he had his share of hostility. He just posted a video of how, despite his security, some scumbags broke though and stole something or got in a minor physical attack many times over the years. Crowder said that the reason he kept these relatively quiet is that he didn't want to inspire copycats, but at this stage he chose to expose the full extent of what he's experienced.

And now the gloves are off. After Charlie's murder, he will now be treating any  remotely hostile Leftist as a potential death threat. And his team WILL not hesitate to defend themselves at the first hint of trouble This isn't paranoia - The Radical Left's (and sadly, The Mainstream Left's) reactions to the recent violence warrants this. Crowder doesn't want to die, and because of YOU, while he is willing to accommodate, Crowder and his crew now have to treat even the slightest threat of violence as a potential mass murder event. This isn't paranoia - this is your side's actions and reactions.

From the article.

“...
And we conclude with how this drips down beyond the celebrity to the local level. Although I live deep behind enemy lines in The People’s Republic of Arlington, my public interactions with people who disagree have always been civil. I can no longer assume that any random interaction can be civil. As a example, in 2024 I did some civic duty and handed out sample Republican ballots at polling stations. Most of the Dems walking by just ignored me, but one stuck in my mind. He wore the badges of a federal government employee, and asked if we could talk. I agreed, and he talked. And talked. I soon realized he wasn’t interested in talking, but more of filibustering me and claiming it was great how both sides could have a meaningful dialogue. Meh – I’ve encountered him too many times before to care. But now things are different.

If Government Filibuster were to approach me in a similar situation today, my initial response will be to subtly look around me to ensure he’s not working as the distraction so that his friends can sneak up behind and donkey punch me. And even if I establish that he is alone, I’ll be paying close attention to his body language and where his hands are. Given Democrats’ recent history, unless I’m cool with Sister Babe being a widow and Little Bob growing up without a father, I have to assume that any Leftist engaging me is a potential threat. Lest some Soros typing monkey is recording this, no this isn’t my way of saying that getting in my face will result in a loaded gun in yours. Nor am I trying to be some keyboard warrior tough guy. But it does mean that your side’s collective indifference/support of someone like me being murdered, engaging any of you means I have to be ready to treat any interaction as a potential murder attempt.

Which brings us to the conclusion. I know that you Lefties aren’t known for thinking through the long term effects of your actions, but based on how you’ve seen us Normals respond to the Cancel Culture escalation, in what scenario do see escalating violence working well for your side? And as much as I’d love to conclude with some kind of solution, I’m not the solution. It has to come from your side. If nothing else, look at recent history for what to expect. Remember when mad Maxine was ginning up loonies to harass Trump supporters out in public? You collectively giggled when it happened a few times, and even Pelosi supported it. Remember how it ended? It came to an abrupt stop when a bunch of Normals heckled Pelosi at one of her speaking events. And you loved the whole Cancel Culture wave when it hurt people you didn’t like. Now you’re looking on in horror that we Normals are actually enjoying the same happening to you. I know better to appeal to your sense of decency or logic – the side that supports foreign rapists and pregnant women chugging Tylenol possess neither. Now you’re approving of, and encouraging serious violence. Please tell me that you see where this goes.

Because neither of us wants it to happen.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The president just pitted Deep Staters against each other...

Torn a page from Deep State’s own playbook and stuffed it down their throats.

I’m not a throw the baby out with the bathwater type. :-)

Government, a very limited government, is indeed (shudder) a necessary evil.

That said, most of it has become a domestic enemy allied with our foreign enemies.

Shut that down.

And fill a new wing at Leavenworth with the seditious.

Here is my statement to Democrats: To quote Charlie Kirk, OBM, “If the most important thing for you is feeling good, you are going to be miserable. But if the most important thing for you is doing good, you will end up purposeful.”

Hard to believe that Charlie Kirk had attained this level of wisdom at such an early age. RIP, Charlie Kirk.

“”...to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut,...””

Leavitt was just asked this ... ie ‘what agencies will be cut’... by a journalist on Newsmax. Trump should address the Democrat extortion shutdown scheme as “We can do this the easy way (my way), or we can do it the hard way (also my way). For starters, the hard way consists of the GOP cutting every damn Democrat agency on the planet and then some”. Go ahead, Schumerites. Make our day!

The ONLY hope to prevent civil war is for Trump to haul the Soros/Hillary types in for MILITARY TRIBUNALS.

Justice is not optional.

The rubber band is about to snap. Think Kyle Rittenhouse, an untrained and alone boy caused a scene? Imagine if a few veterans showed up to stop a BLM/Antifa riot. Nobody wants that. The country would not peacefully recover.

Please, President Trump, DO YOUR DUTY!

Only arrests matter, and we STILL have ZERO!

Professor David Clements argues for that: Go the Lincoln route; suspend Habeas Corpus; arrest them indefinitely; hold Military Tribunals and dispense massive justice so that the country can start to heal.

But the rigged 2000 election can NOT be dismissed and forgotten. Some people have to pay.
