We Need to Talk about Democrats - People who celebrate political violence cannot be trusted.

Fifteen years ago, a dark movie called We Need to Talk about Kevin told the story of a mother struggling to understand why her sociopathic teenaged son had gone on a murder spree at home and at school. In the same vein, we need to talk about Democrats.

We should have had a national conversation about Democrat violence back in 2017, when an Illinois Democrat and Bernie Sanders supporter attempted to assassinate an entire baseball team of Republican members of the U.S. House and Senate. While the would-be assassin failed to murder anyone before being neutralized, he did manage to shoot four people, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who was one of two critically injured. The mass murder attempt could have easily been much worse. Twenty-four Republican congressmen were on the field that day, and had the Democrat assassin been successful, he would have substantially shifted the balance of power in Congress. It was an unprecedented attack on one of the three branches of the federal government.

Instead of acknowledging the seriousness of Democrat violence, Establishment Republicans and Democrats joined hands and pretended that the assassination attempt was the fault of “both parties.” Former Republican Senator Jeff Flake lectured the country to “tone it down” because “discourse” had “gotten out of hand…on all sides” — which was his way of blaming newly-inaugurated President Trump for saying things that might provoke a Democrat to murder two dozen Republican congressmen.

The shooter had a list of Republican congressmen in his pocket and another list of Republican congressmen in a storage locker. Amazingly, he even asked two Republican members of Congress leaving early that day whether “Republicans or Democrats” were practicing on the baseball field. The would-be assassin had recently written on social media, “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our

Dems are like the abused partner of a relationship that refuses to get out and happily accepts that all the promises will NEVER come to fruition. EVER! Thank you sir may I have another!? Yet the lame stream continues to carry their water and whine about ‘right wing extremists’. Pound for pound, the left is way more dangerous. 😠

Patriotism, NOT hateriotism!

Democrats are why I vote Republican blindly even though I despise Trump’s behavior.

Well said I’ve been making that argument here for close to 20 years to the political purists. Politics is a numbers game. Those with the highest numbers make the rules and set the agenda. I may not always like the republican running, and I may like the individual Democrat better. I used to vote the man not then party. Can’t do that today. If the individual democrat wins, he/she could be the one that tips the balance in favor of a Hakeem Jeffries over a Mike Johnson. Not going to take that chance

We Need to Talk about Democrats..

This topic of evil Democrats is spot on.

We can discuss Deep State all we want, but the immutable character of Democrat/Communists is pervasive and ruinous, well beyond philosophical nuance of "we are all culpable."

Results follow behavior. Results in chaos. But does not matter to me.
