We Need to Talk about Democrats - People who celebrate political violence cannot be trusted.
American Thinker ^ | 25 Sep, 2026 | J.B. Shurk

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

The problem is the deranged mentality of the political left all over the world.

Stay/get physically fit, go to the range regularly, be aware of your surroundings and think through scenarios. One never knows what may transpire.

More than celebrating violence, Demonicrats are lying, murdering, Christian-hating people who give aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

Leftists claim that their violence is speech, even as they claim our speech is violence.

In 2022, fifty-five percent of Democrat voters supported government efforts to fine “unvaccinated” Americans. Fifty-nine percent of Democrats were in favor of confining “unvaccinated” Americans in their homes. Forty-eight percent of Democrats supported fining and imprisoning Americans “who publicly question the efficacy” of the experimental mRNA “vaccines.” Forty-five percent of Democrats believed that the government should relocate “unvaccinated” Americans to quarantine camps. Forty-seven percent of Democrats thought the government should monitor and track “unvaccinated” Americans. And twenty-nine percent of Democrats wanted the government to remove children from parents who refused the “vaccine.”

I'd love to have seen a poll of FR members asking these same questions. There was no shortage of those sheep/wannabe tyrants here.

The constitution is there to keep their power in check. Law enforcement is there to keep them from crossing the line. The voters are there to decide what works best.

The worry is those that are easily led.

"The constitution is there to keep their power in check. Law enforcement is there to keep them from crossing the line."

Really? How many of the checks and balances, and how many lines, were ignored/crossed during "COVID"?

I have zero faith in the government staying in its lane, or being constrained by the Constitution. "COVID" proved that they can and will do as they please.

After seeing video the other day of Tammy Duckworth (quack quack!) bleating about not playing nice and escalating the political temperature, I’m about done. Really done.

People like Quack Quack need to be confronted publically and non-violently, in front of news cameras preferably, about their lies and their hate.

Have command of your facts and don’t let up. Ever.

I had a friend retire instead of taking the jab. Threatened with the loss of a job.

I had to provide the proof of vax to my employer at the time. One of the many, many reasons I dislike Bidet so much

That’s been your tagline for many years. It is becoming more obviously true every day.

"I had a friend retire instead of taking the jab. Threatened with the loss of a job."

I was absolutely ready to lose my job rather than be forced/coerced into getting the jab. I'd rather live in a cardboard box as a free man, than in a house as a guinea pig or some kind of serf.

Principles matter.
