America’s plague of violence from the left

In 2026, America is like a tinpot tyranny, where our politicians’ votes are being controlled by threats from communists and Islamists.

One need not read much in the contemporary media to be treated to the idea that political violence is an exclusively right-wing phenomenon. Why, leftist organizations like Antifa are merely ideas, not violent anarchists, as Joe Biden told us. Black Lives Matter, socialists, communists, Islamists—they’re all just benign, legitimate political movements. It’s those MAGA maniacs, those soccer moms and Normal Americans who are too busy working every day to protest, loot and burn that are the real threat of political violence.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently exposed that ideology as the lie it is:

For far too long our counterterrorism doctrine has had a blind spot — a blind spot when it comes to extremist violence from the political left.

Even today, the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream, or worse, as a dangerous fascist conspiracy. It’s treated this way by many in the press, by many in academia and our universities, and by many of our legacy institutions. You will no doubt see the dogma rear its head in the coverage of this very conference.

For years, this extraordinary ideological prejudice was embedded in the way we talked about political violence and extremism. It was repeated again and again, until it was accepted as the neutral and objective baseline, so entrenched in the mainstream conventional wisdom that it came to be regarded as an apolitical fact.

It is the reason why, here in my country, so many people in positions of power have repeatedly dismissed acts of violence and even terrorism as legitimate forms of political expression so long as they served a left-wing cause.

It is leftist politicians too. They seem to think putting their conservative opponents in prison is OK.

Remember...the boys who stood on the green that April morning were thought mad by some of their fellow townspeople.

“extremist violence from the political left.”

Kinda like the Brown Shirts? Just Soros’s causing to be done what worked for Hitler.

Heck. Some guy is facing a 10 year hate crime prison sentence if convicted for doing burnouts on a fag “pride” mural in an intersection.

BUT BUT BUT JANUARY SIXTH!!!

(Ignoring that hundreds were held without trial or bail for years and insane sentences were given to everyone who plead after told they would serve 25 years if they didn’t plead guilty. Meanwhile, democrat judges allow illegal alien rapists to walk free)
