After it came to light that Jay Jones, the Democratic nominee for Virginia’s attorney general, had fantasized about killing a political opponent and his children, some were surprised that other Democrats didn’t condemn him.
No one should have been surprised. Because what Jones said is a widely shared belief among Democrats these days.
According to National Review, which broke the explosive Jones story, he told a colleague that “the only way public policy changes is when policymakers feel pain themselves, like the pain that parents feel when they watch their children die from gun violence.” He was referring to a specific Republican state lawmaker and his family.
The reaction among fellow Democrats? Crickets.
If you think that’s scary, consider this:
Over the weekend, the Skeptic Research Center released results of a poll of 3,000 adults asking whether they agreed or disagreed with the statement: “violence is often necessary to create social change.” (Note the similarity between the question and what Jones said.)
What did the poll find? Nearly half of young, liberal, well-educated adults – in other words, the mainstream of the Democratic party these days – condone political violence.
Of “very liberal” respondents, for example, 44% agreed that “violence is often necessary to create social change.” Among Gen Z liberals, the number rose to 49%.
We’re talking millions upon millions of Democrats who’ve been radicalized to believe that burning buildings, terrorizing neighbors, and killing opponents are reasonable acts.
This adds still more evidence to the pile about the violent tendencies of “peace and love” leftists who now control the Democratic party – something we have been tracking at I&I for years. (See, for example, “Will Left’s Violent Tendencies Lead To U.S. Breakup Or Dictatorship?” March 16, 2021, or “Left-Wing Rage: Don’t Pretend It Doesn’t Exist,” Aug. 18, 2023.)
Just a couple of weeks ago, researchers found that in the first six months of this year, left-wing terrorist attacks were already outpacing those from the far right – before Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the spate of anti-ICE violence, and other targeted political attacks by leftists.
What’s more, there’s evidence that the left’s attraction to violence isn’t just a result of their fears about Donald Trump or their concern about the future of democracy, but their warped moral compass.
One research paper found that “conservatives have more favorable opinions of liberals than liberals have of conservatives, and thus conservatives extend more empathy to liberals in times of need.”
Translated: leftists have a strong (but wholly misguided) sense of moral superiority over conservatives, which can easily be used to justify violence.
Incredibly, the response from many on the establishment right has been to ignore the frightening rise in violent rhetoric and violent actions coming from the left, while adding fuel to the rhetorical fire with their own apocalyptic language about anything and everything President Trump does.
It’s time for the public (and especially these weak-kneed “conservatives”) to wake up and realize where the real threat to civilized society is coming from. And it’s not from the current occupant of the White House. Because once Trump is gone, leftists will simply direct their hatred and violence to the next prominent conservative.
“”At the range they allow the operation of automatic weapons. It scares the hell out of me. I feel like diving under my booth. I guess that makes me a coward.””
“”...but if hoards of maniacs start larping around with AR-15s it won’t do me a lot of good.””
Don’t let the “scary” automatic weapons firing keep you from practicing. Remember... all it takes is ‘one’ accurately fired (head shot) bullet from your Glock to take down one of those AR-15 carrying maniacs.
I have a philosophy if the SHTF ever happens. In a roving bands coming door to door scenario, the hoards might end up getting me, but I’ll get at least one, and perhaps more than one of them before I’m out. That will be one (or more) ‘less’ of them for someone else to have to deal with.
On my range, I've noticed that most of them couldn't hit the side of a barn with an AR-15. Just get very fast and proficient with your Glock. You'll be OK.
The REAL question goes to the root of the problem...
DO we need an expansive societal change?
What would that look like, TO YOU?
Is violence required to make this societal change?
REF: Society is \DOWNSTREAM| from politics? Or, si it that politics are downstream from society.
And who is making tohis conceptual change?
They should run him for 2028. He is the voice of the Democrats
” Beyond that, You can locate it the same way.”
I watched a video by a Canadian who had his third SUV stolen. He’d put a tracker in the latest one and took it to the police. The SUV was sitting in a shipping port waiting to be loaded onto a ship. The police refused to do anything, and the tracker ended up in Dubai.
I can’t recall why the police refused to take action.
He is.
The real reason they won’t condemn his call to murder is because they all have said that in private. They all believe it. They want us dead. They would do it if they could get away with it.
He’s going to win.
Our side is in total denial about how sick this country is.
This guy incites violence without any consequence.
Where’s Blondie?
They are communists and fascists, huddled together trying to destroy the Republic. Those that support the Republic need to examine history to know what they want. I stand for the Republic, like most Freepers, so to me this ‘Democrat’ fits my understanding what they are, and what they want. People can change, they can re-think when evidence is exposed. Trump biggest task is to expose the truth to the American people. He can do this with economic success, balanced budgets, Peace, but also with Justice for those that have subverted the Republic and their positions.
Let the truth come out. We the people can handle it. This could breathe new life for freedom and the Republic.
The text BEFORE that said he wanted those 2 little kids to die in their mother’s arms.! GGOD FREAKING GRIEF!
Cause deep down inside they all agree with him.
It’s disturbing that so many *conservatives* agree with that.
Liberals, I expect it out of. Moderates, well they are partially liberal so it doesn’t surprise me.
How old is this little boy? I know the RATS want 13 year olds to vote but electing them to office is kind of a real liberal dumbass thing to do.
Saul Alinskys “political jujitsu”. Push the opposition to a negative reaction then call them the problem.
Conservatives are slow to anger, zyeah we do anger but we have self control because we know if we stoop to their level, there’s no coming back and we always pay for the cleanup. (Sometimes I think tptb allowed Minneapolis to burn because they could rebuild in their image)
Ditto for Katy Porter in California, good chance she’ll win b/c deranged Democrats support her abusive actions against men and her own staff.
Jay Jones is a piece of work.
Because that’s how Democrats really think, even if most of the important ones are more discreet.
Is it possible to agree to charge any left leaning or democrat person, employee, official, or politician, for committing any crime at all?
If so, please provide a list of what crimes can or cannot be committed and what charges and sentences should or should not apply? If not, what have you been doing to the right for the past sixteen years?
That pussy doesn’t look like he could shoot a rat.
I’m not so sure of that. I think some of us are born non violent and some are not. I think it’s in the genes as well as the role the parents play and how they play it. I’ve seen black babies and white ones playing together as if they saw no difference between them. One kid I know of was a biter from a very early age would break the skin and cause big welts in his siblings. He never straightened out and caused a lot of grief in that family.
