Far more Democrats than Republicans see violence approaching
The Washington Examiner ^ | 7-19-2019 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 07/19/2019 12:14:12 PM PDT by HogsBreath

'Nearly 8 of 10 Americans told the Pew Research Center that supporters for both sides could “act” on the politically charged rhetoric with violence. It was higher for Democrats, 91%, than Republicans, 61%'

I thought Hate and Violence were the core principles guiding the Democrat Party

Are you implying cash for guns was a lie? If that is true, it’s more than stealing.
Running guns.. what dem would do that? O wait.

Democrats recognize it because they have being doing it for some time with Antifa hitting people with crowbars and a bernbot shooting Republicans at baseball practice.

True, but my experience is that most neo-communists are abject physical cowards. Note Antifa goons always pick almost helpless targets. They are called Brownshirts. However, the real Brownshirts may have been bullies but not cowards. They engaged in real street battles with various leftist party militias and fought with lag ends, knives, truncheons and brass knuckles.

The left, from what I see, expects the various armed police agencies to crush any rightist opposition and the National Guard from units in cities such as LA and Chicago to occupy fly over country ‘hot spots’.

What they don't factor in is how hard it is to put down an insurgency fueled by many individual actors. Then things get very nasty as the experience of the states of Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky during the War Between the States illuminates.

Democrats recognize it more because they will be the ones that start trouble.

And Republicans know that they will be the ones to finish it.

Rifles and propane bombs, too.

You are correct and they deploy and employ their goon squad antifa also. When they employ them, they are always supported by the police.

A significant number of leftists are stockpiling clubs so they can enjoy beating up “fascists” - their word for anyone they feel like injuring.

A significant number of decent Americans are buying firearms and ammunition, and we are spending time at the range. Our job is to be ready to defend ourselves and other innocent people against globalist thugs - and when necessary to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Yet they have almost no guns. How do they plan on fighting us?

They plan on having the government fight you, using all the violent means at their disposal including A-10 Warthogs and USMC rifle companies.

May work, may not. Based on our history 1993-2019, they have every reason to be confident.

I served in the US Army. The military, by and large, will not take the side of the left in a civil war.

Depends on how it goes down, and who controls information.

I've been over this with friends who have been or are O-5 and O-6. Yes, if there is a Leftist coup and a patriot army mobilizes against it, the coup plotters will not be able to rely on the military. But that is the least likely way we go to war.

In settings where there is violence and the facts are confused, riflemen will follow their NCOs who will follow their officers. There will be some staged event followed by the internet and broadcast going dark, orders will be given to start rounding up "terrorists", patriots will be isolated in cells of 2-30 men and will be tagged by a preplanned media campaign as "white supremacists".

I'm sure we all can think up many scenarios where the military would be an effective, although unwitting, force on the Leftist side.

And LOOK, 91% of them expect violence and most of those are planning. They aren't going to use Alt Right podcasts to spread their lies, they are going to use Steven Spielberg and CNN.

Makes sense. They’re the ones engaging in violence and threatening worse.

First thing to do if it starts is to shut down all the electricity to the big cities.

Then stand back and watch them kill each other off.

The dems and their media puppetmasters have been promoting violence for years. We saw it during the 0bama administration billed as the War on Police. We’ve seen it in the media promoted riots. We saw it during the 2015/16 primaries and campaign and since he entered office. All of it promoted and encouraged by the dems and media moguls.

That’s why the dems see it coming because, for them, it’s already here. They just expect it to get worse. Republicans are too stupid to realize the storm that will be unleashed when Trump wins again.

Armed Republicans know that they have always been ready to ‘put down mad dogs’ if needed - its provided for them in the wisdom of the U S Constitution. THATS what leftist actually fear happening - they cant get their way easy.

The leftist media has been feeding the rabid dogs for years attacking Trump and white/conservative America, but only NOW do the ‘democrats’/leftists see violence coming ??

BOYCOTT.

Its called ‘Letting them weave the rope they will hang themselves with’

Sane people understand that Trump is smacking these vile leftists in the face with Truth - something leftists rabidly hate most of all.

Yes. Most conservatives tend to avoid violence, for as long as it is tactically wise to avoid it.

The Democrats plan to use government forces to change our system of government after getting their politicians in office. Each year, enormous numbers of new radical leftists, brainwashed in public schools, reach voting age.

Don’t be misinformed by the neo-communist media companies. Most of the men in U.S. military combat specialties will *not* kill conservatives for the neo-communist Democrats.

And more often than not, civilian neo-communist punks are choosing the more crude, less effective weapons for their intentions of future misdeeds. More of them also tend to neglect training, tend to be drug addicts, criminals, etc.

Conservative men do need to get in shape, though. Exercise!
