So there is no confusion, my headline is not something I advocate. It is merely what seems inevitable when a law abiding society — America — has within it a subculture (the modern left led by the very corrupt and power-hungry Democratic Party) that thinks it is not only above the law, but its ideology justifies all kinds of violence. To wit, there’s this post today by Guy Benson, nicely summarizing only a small selection of recent leftist violence. I quote it in full, because this is necessary to get the feel of reality:
I’d like to ask my non-conservative followers to pay attention here for a moment. I don’t need a response or a rebuttal or a ‘whatabout.’ Just read on and consider what I’m saying. Please.
We are only a few weeks removed from a leading conservative figure being shot in the throat and killed by a leftist, for and during his speech, at a public speaking event. Stunning, jarring numbers of leftist Americans justified or celebrated this assassination, aligning with multiple public polls showing that a sizable minority of leftists in this country think political violence can be acceptable.
Today — just today — many conservatives are thinking about:
(1) a major leftist statewide candidate being exposed for sending texts to a political opponent (R) explicitly hoping for the death of another conservative political opponent…along with the deaths of that opponents’ young children. He WROTE DOWN that the pain of those deaths might promote his own agenda, which would be worth it, in his estimation. This candidate is now condemning his current conservative opponent for noticing this information.
And also (2) a development in the case of a leftist would-be assassin of a conservative Supreme Court Justice, who traveled across the country, heavily armed, with the stated intent of murdering up to three right-leaning Justices because he was angry about their abortion jurisprudence. The leftist judge in the case rejected prosecutors’ request for a multi-decade sentence, giving the defense team the very lenient sentence they’d sought. The leftist judge, in her reasoning, cited the criminal’s trans identity as a factor & expressed happiness that the assassination plot and its aftermath helped with the criminal’s family therapy around the trans issue.
And also (3) yet another violent leftist attack — this time an apparent ambush — against federal immigration officers. This did not take place in Dallas, where a leftist sniper very recently went on a deadly spree while trying to murder as many ICE officers as possible. This one happened in Illinois, where the leftist governor just called these officers “jack booted thugs.” Violent attacks on these federal agents (thugs, fascists, gestapo, per various leading leftist politicians) are up approximately *one thousand percent,* per DHS.
And also (4) a prominent university being pressured into reversing its attempt to shut down a conservative event commemorating the second anniversary of the Oct 7 terrorist massacre of Jews — because, the school said, they were worried about the security situation around the event. They were referring, of course, to the violent Islamist-Leftist coalition pro-Hamas mob, which has engaged in harassment, threats, violence and murder ever since that mass slaughter.
AND YET, we see many of our leftist friends tweeting and posting about how *their opponents* are the “dangerous” and “authoritarian” “fascists.”
I ask you to try to contemplate, even for a quiet moment or two, how this might strike many of us.
That’s all for now. Thank you.
For those on the left who wish to make believe none of this is happening, here are the sources for paragraphs #1, #2, #3, and #4. Nor is Benson’s list even close to complete. For example, it was learned today that Jack Smith, a special council appointed by Biden illegally to hound Trump with charges, used that appointment to spy illegally on eight Republican senators and one House Republican. This on top of the now documented Russian collusion hoax and the Obama administrations documented spying on Trump’s campaign in 2016.
Benson is trying to get those on the left to realize that the patience of the right is clearly beginning to wear out. At some point it will begin responding with force, in a way that the left will not like, at all.
Nor will anyone else in this country who believes in civilization and the rule of law like it either.
We can get an inkling of the terrible things to expect by Trump’s decision this past weekend to ignore a leftist judge and send 300 National Guard troops to Portland to protect its ICE facilities from the constant vandalism and attacks by Antifa mobs. The judge had ruled quite absurdly that the President was not allowed to do this simply because “protests near the ICE processing facility in south Portland were ‘small and uneventful,'” an irrelevant conclusion even if it was true (which it is not). The President always has the right to defend federal property from attack, and no court can stop him.
Trump’s decision to ignore the judge’s ruling however continues us down that slippery slope to no laws at all. The judge (along with all the leftist judges who since Trump took office have been acting as if they ran the executive branch) began that journey. Trump is merely following them down.
Worse, at some point the right is going to begin responding to the left’s illegal violence with its own violence. It has so far refrained from doing so, apparently because the right really does believe in the rule of law, civilization, and our Constitution.
The left quite clearly at this moment no longer does. All it cares about is to oppose any action taken by Donald Trump, no matter how legal or sensible, and to oppose it with increasing violence.
If the left doesn’t back off from this childish, tantrum-like agenda, the right will soon have to respond in kind, if only in self defense. And when that happens, civilization, the rule of law, and our Constitution will go out the window.
Benson is providing the left a warning. It would be rational for the left to heed it and to calm down. Unfortunately, that is not likely to happen. As Winston Churchill wrote after spending pages documenting why it made no sense for the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor,
Governments and people do not always take rational decisions. Sometimes they take mad decisions, or one set of people get control who compel all others to obey and aid them in their folly. I have not hesitated to record repeatedly my disbelief that Japan would go mad. However sincerely we try to put ourselves in another person’s position, we cannot allow for processes of the human mind and imagination to which reason offers no key.
Right now, I can see no peaceful solution. Hopefully, Trump will continue to wield the power of the federal government according to law, as he has done so far in almost every case.
There is no guarantee of that, however. Politics is unfortunately about the lust for power, and our Founding Fathers gave us the Constitution as a tool to restrain that lust. Increasingly that tool is being ignored, first by the left, but soon I fear by the right as well.
The future feels very grim indeed, should the left continue on its mad irrational path. More and more, it looks like the vultures are out for blood, and nothing will stop them but more blood.

I hope the future is not grim, but the political right is not the group that gets to decide.
To the left: Don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing.
Unfortunately they can’t help themselves.
When the right finally strikes, it won’t be a hammer. It will be a raging forest fire and will burn the communists to ashes. It will be like the firebombing of Tokyo in WWII.
The left does not plan to stop the violence - the are angling for an insurrection.
“the right will soon have to respond in kind, if only in self defense. And when that happens, civilization, the rule of law, and our Constitution will go out the window.“
I don’t agree that civilization only exists until it exercises righteous and moral self defense.. then it all collapses. I would argue the precise opposite.
Victor Davis Hansen lays it out very quickly:
https://www.facebook.com/reel/795009489857977
He says brace yourself for the Left to panic and go completely nuts as they realize they are toast.
If we had honest media coverage, the national outrage against the Left would be tremendous. The Left gets away with this stuff because the media tells everyone that the Republicans are doing it.
We need to find a way to change the media.
I thought Trump and Kirk made it very clear - your only alternative is getting shot.
There is no “slippery slope”. Lawlessness requires action or there is no law. Only a stupid Leftist who has watched too much television thinks that Law comes from the decrees of people wearing robes.
Trump has my full backing, whatever it takes. 3 more years and the clock is ticking.
The unhinged, evil, immoral, and Marxist left is turning more of our nation’s streets into Civil War battlefields.
Europe has been tolerating their own, government approved, civil upheaveal to the detriment of citizens.
We have ALL had enough.
Our unAmericans have started the war and sent in their clowns.
President Trump is finally sending in the Calvalry.
Presently we are witnessing the preliminary skirmishes in the actual state of war. America is at war with the City States.
The City States in coalition have effectively resigned from the Union. They have abrogated federal laws. They have and are creating fictions that prevent their police from controlling the paid and very well organized soldiers existing as “protesters”. They whine about their rights to protest while simultaneously involved in insurrection against the very constitution that protects them.
.
Evenly divided, because a substantial portion of those favoring the left positions are unaware of the true facts of what they’re supporting. ABCNNBCBS, the major print media, and much Internet content either fail to cover or outright lie about it.
IMHO, during the Obama and Obama Mini-Me presidencies there were a number of things done to provoke 'the Right' to justify a manufactured narrative (i.e., the political violence comes from the right, aka 'your face got in the way of my fist'), and people wisely listened to not taking the bait.
Between July 13 2024, September 10 2025, the revealed texts from Jay Jones who still is running for Virginia AG, (among other things) I think its sinking in that your leftie neighbor whose crap you tolerated really would kill you if they thought they had a chance to do so and get away with it. Compound that with lefty judges and prosecutors who will go after you if you dare speak up (like Nick Sortor), yeah, at some point things become existential--the WW2 analigy is apt that once it was understood Japan would not relent, Fat Man and Little Boy came out to play.
I'm pretty sure of one thing-if the Left gets ahold of the levers of power again, they'll be using those levers to punish their enemies.
When one finally realizes the “D” after their name stands for “demon”, everything they promote, do, say, etc. begins to make sense. Spit.
File a bar complaint. They have to look at him. Attempt to get him disbarred. Bring as much heat as you can.
If Dems lose both Virginia and NJ and Mamdani loses NYC, look for them to go complete berzerk.
Establishment Dems will go indie, and radicals will take charge of the stalling party. Once they realize their path is towards obscurity, they will become very violent.
They tried destroying Trump and a few other top MAGA people like Bannon, Stone, and the J6 people.
But now they know it wasn't a fluke-- we are the problem. And they will act immediately to persecute us, strip us of the franchise, etc., to keep power.
Which is why we must act now with Trump to destroy them first.
“Politics is unfortunately about the lust for power”
The US Constitution intends to limit centralized power. The left centralized power. Now that centralization of power has come back to bite them.
The solution is de-centralization. Abortion is not a topic to be centralized. Education, Health, Welfare were previously de-centralized. They should be returned to de-centralized.
Pre Nixon, immigration was enforced at the local level. Local police would arrest a person for Drunk n disorderly, or assault of his girlfriend. The local police would put the undesireable on on train car, or bus for Mexico.
Nixon centralized that. The current mess is a direct result of Nixon centralizing immigration enforecement.
