Because of the ever-descending moral and intellectual state of the mainstream news media, there has been no outcry against the leftists who call President Donald Trump and all Americans who support him Nazis. Indeed, members of the media now regularly do so.
Without that outcry, this labeling will only increase; and this steadily increasing drumbeat of hysteria is likely to lead to one result: violence against conservatives.
It is not plausible to foresee any other outcome of left-wing normalization of the terms "Nazi" and "white supremacist."
The American left has put itself in a moral quandary: Either it doesn't mean it when it calls the president and his supporters Nazis, in which the case it is merely guilty of cheapening -- and, as I explained in my previous column, actually denying -- the Holocaust, or it doesn't mean it, in which case morality demands it take violent action against Trump supporters.
For at least a decade, I have been saying that America is fighting a second Civil War. But I have always added that unlike the first Civil War, this one -- thank God -- is nonviolent.
It's getting harder and harder to assume it will stay that way.
A Senate intern shouts an obscenity at the president of the United States in the halls of Congress and the U.S. senator for whom she works does not fire her.
Left-wing mobs yell and chant "No justice, no sleep" in front of the homes of administration officials.
A Democratic Congresswoman, Maxine Waters, foments such action. "Let's make sure," she tells Democratic mobs, "we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."
The Democratic Party labels political opposition to the president "Resistance," the term used to describe the opposition to the Nazis during World War II.
All these are only the beginning. Few violent movements begin with violence. And when the left sees that these tactics do not undo the last presidential election, some morally consistent leftists could quite possibly take the obvious next step and start targeting Republicans -- as the shooter of Republican Rep. Steve Scalise and four others did.
As one liberal writer, Peter Beinart of the Atlantic, asked nearly a year ago, "If you believe the president of the United States is leading a racist, fascist movement that threatens the rights, if not the lives, of vulnerable minorities, how far are you willing to go to stop it?"
When conservatives -- even one as critical of the president as Ben Shapiro -- need the protection of bodyguards and police officers in riot gear when speaking on an American college campus, it is clear where we are headed. You can get an idea by watching what students did to biology professor Dr. Bret Weinstein, perhaps the only decent faculty member at Evergreen State University, because he refused to cooperate when left-wing students demanded that all whites leave the university campus for a day. Some months later, Weinstein was told by the left-wing university administration it "could no longer guarantee his safety." Weinstein then left Evergreen State for good.
Wouldn’t it logically lead to the next realization that if Trump and his conservative supporters were Nazis, that the Waters-Antifa Democrats would be the ones to have quite a bit to be worried about?
If anyone is a threat to liberty, the Constitution, and the American Way of Life, it would be these idiot children. This will not end well, nor the way they think it will.
Where, oh, where, is the SS when you need it?
Thanks to Social Media, when this flares up, it will do it faster than History has ever seen before.
Lol, i like how he knocks him unconscious and then gives him a little push.
Correct, they have no clue. You she see the reaction when you tell them that Nazi is merely the short form of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei which translates as national Socialist German Workers’ Party. Who labeled a socialist workers’ party as Right Wing? Stalin.
Every time I see that woman approaching, I think to myself, I will let it go if you pop her too.
Well, Stalin as well as the Frankfurt School (in particular Theodor Adorno, aka the guy who wrote the F-Scale test and the Authoritarian Personality.). Let’s not forget their influence in the false conflation of the Nazis with the right wing (heck, Fascism itself, and by that, I mean Italian Fascism, not simply Nazism, is a socialist party and thus left-wing. Just ask the 1919 Fascist Manifesto).
Of course, even if you DO try to give that explanation, you’d probably get responses of “oh, Hitler changed all that when he had Rohm shot” or some other crappy reason (quite frankly, if he didn’t want socialism, of any sort, if it truly was considered right wing, why didn’t he rename the party to avoid even mentioning socialism? Thomas Jefferson when running under an anti-Federalist platform nonetheless claimed “We’re all federalists now” after being elected and then doubled down on them.). So don’t think that they’d have much of a reaction to that, certainly not enough to change their minds. Feel free to try, though, I’d prefer to be proven wrong in this case, would make me sleep easier.
Sanders is a communist, who prefers the proletariate to racial politics
