“There’s no debating and/or voting our way out of this. The real question should be: how is it to be stopped....and when?”
Oh, I don’t know about that. For example, are we going to start shooting leftists? No. What about declaring these radical groups domestic terrorist organizations, and attack them in that fashion? We’d better make sure our ducks are in a row before we do that, or we won’t have any better luck than when the Democrats declared Catholics were terrorists.
First, you need evidence tying these bastards to violence. It’s out there, we just need to go get it. Second, we have to win more elections. The courts are largely controlled by the Democrats. If we keep winning elections, even Democrat judges might think twice about intervening on behalf of the Marxists.
No, I think that’s exactly how we get out of this mess. We keep winning elections. Every time they act out with violence, we put in on the front page of every media outlet we control. Just keep building a non-crazy, American-values coalition. There are a lot of Democrats who may hate Donald Trump, but didn’t sign up for full-on Communist revolution.
I’ll tell you one way that needs to be incorporated immediately and that’s locking up the vile leftists online openly advocating violence and murder and making threats on their accounts. They’ve been immune so far but iirc making threats of bodily harm is not legal.
Some of them, or at least the sane ones anyway, would rather live under Trump than to live in a totalitarian regime by the Democratic Party.
The Democrats and their allies in the MSM can try to gaslight us but I think it won't work for the midterms in 2026 because the American People have seen everything.
Yes, we are.
By "we", I mean actual law-enforcement officers making arrests according to lawful warrants which make charges of actual crimes. When the perpetrators make violent armed resistance to arrests, the officers will shoot them.
When armed Leftists ambush officers, the officers will shoot them.
When "mostly peaceful protestors" surround a government building or vehicles and start throwing firebombs, the officers will shoot them.
Note that LEOs are not consistently doing any of these things at present. We are not even seeing very many arrests or indictments yet.
The best case is that Leftists get consistently removed from all positions of authority, by resignation or firing, according to new organizational policies. But sometimes things aren't going to go that well.
You make a good point that the courts are largely controlled by Democrats, and we need to "win more elections". That first item tends to prevent the second item from happening.
We have a serious problem with "rule-of-law", as in we don't really have much of that anymore. The Democrats have done a lot of damage here, and the Republicans have allowed that to continue. We have a "pretense-of-law". Leftist judges are not going to change their lawless behavior merely because Republicans just won an "election". They are not listening to the Supreme Court even now. They won't do anything different until they are removed from office.
That should not require violence. But it might. Best case is government-sanctioned force, as in the use of properly constituted law enforcement officers making arrests or removals in accordance with laws which most people consider legitimate.
Things could go down a much nastier path. And they will if the courts and government bureaucracies continue to effectively stop peaceful changes.
There is a distressingly large fraction of the population which does indeed want a Communist or a Socialist government. That in best cases is people who believe they will get freebies from that system at the expense of somebody else. They are badly mistaken, but they are not going to change what they believe. The worst case is people who are genuinely evil and want that system, so they can use it to harm and destroy others. The percentage is small but in absolute numbers, it is well over critical limits. Psychopaths and sociopaths always wind up in charge of Communist systems.
