No Debate, Just Hate
American Thinker ^ | 7 Oct, 2025 | Kevin Finn

Posted on 10/07/2025 4:28:36 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The Left has abandoned reason for rage, choosing violence over debate or even discussion.

There's a saying that goes, "If you want to make a conservative mad, lie to him. If you want to make a leftist mad, tell him the truth." Truer words were never spoken. The Left has abandoned reason for rage, choosing violence over debate or even discussion. Democrats are not only unwilling to civilly engage conservatives -- they're increasingly unable to. They're resorting to threats, fantasies of murder, violence, and even support for such extremism. The pattern is clear, it's damning and it's time to call it out and demand accountability.

Matt Walsh laid out how the Left expressed their violent streak over the last three days. He recounts a litany of horrors, including a Democrat candidate for attorney general fantasizing about murdering political opponents and their children. Virginia Democrat Jay Jones texted that he wished his GOP opponent "two bullets to the head" and hoped his children would die in their mother's arms. This, just after the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk which tells us how far the Left will go. Walsh warns us, "When I say they want us dead, it's because they really do want us dead." How do you debate someone who dreams of your family's slaughter? You can't. The Left's rhetoric is making unity impossible.

As the nominee for Virginia attorney general, Jones's texts reveal a man unfit for any office, let alone top law enforcer. This wasn't a private rant, he publicly expressed detailed murder fantasies against GOP House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his family, claiming "only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy." He tendered a weak apology -- "embarrassed, ashamed, and sorry" -- which falls flat, especially since he won't drop out.

The trouble is that leftist politician remarks motivates their crazy base to act on the statements.

A big percentage of the Democrat base absolutely supports the political violence. The unhinged rhetoric is not a liability, it’s a Get Out The Vote tool for the Democrats.

“If you want to make a conservative mad, lie to him. If you want to make a leftist mad, tell him the truth.”

The Left is comprised of intellectual toddlers melting down in aisle 3 because Mommy won’t buy them the toy that they want.

From the article:

As the nominee for Virginia attorney general, Jones's texts reveal a man unfit for any office, let alone top law enforcer.

Here's a not-so-bold-prediction: These outrageous, violent comments will not hurt Jones one bit, or any other Democrat.

The Left is comprised of psychopathic, demon-possessed teenagers who will kill you if you don't give them what they want.

I’ve said for years that democrats are intellectually lazy because they have been allowed to be. No one in the press ever pushes them. They accept whatever they say as gospel. Conservatives on the other hand have to be ready to defend every statement. Over time it weakens or strengths your ability to think critically and debate rationally. We are seeing the end product of the coddling now when you listen to any progressive try and make an argument.

” ... the look of absolute terror in the eyes of a Portland antifa young woman cuffed by ICE and having to face consequences for the first time in her life.”
We need more of this. No more Multnomah jail revolving door.
Most of these lefty ninjas are either spoiled brats or criminal deadheads, with a few dangerous instigators in the mix.

I believe my analogy underscores your more literal description.

Precisely. Instead of being taught how to think, we have multiple generations who have simply been taught what to think by the public school systems and “higher” education. Consequently there is little actual debate, only cheerleading. “Yay for our side, your side sucks!” Like a game of tug-of-war where each time uses its own rope. Easy to pull the flag over the line, but what’s been accomplished?

Yep. I used to think they were like spoiled children, but recently they turned into Rhoda of The Bad Seed (book and movie).

Except, of course, Rhoda was more well-mannered.;-)

I don't remember hearing that before, but it is spot-on.
