I guess we’ll know if the Left turns violent over Tuesday’s result.
Rather interesting that the label the Synagogue shooter as a “racist”.
Yes, becaause THEY have had 50 years to turn our children against us and to embrace Marxism.
My copies of The Objectivist which includes the years 1968 - 1971 includes many statements about the civil war in America

Happy Birthday Pat! After the staggering losses the RATs will suffer next week, expect bombings, assaults and verbal harassment to increase.
Proud to have voted for Pat over the globalist GHW Bush in the primary.
Much worse. The details aren’t the best measure.
In 1968, liberals and conservatives agreed on most principles (still true today but very few liberals are involved/influential in politics or media now). No matter how much we disagreed on application of those principles, party leaders in 1968 could, if/when they wanted, go back to principles and and move forward. And they could explain things to the governed and get our consent. And the media would report in good faith on the good faith negotiations/compromises/way-forward.
We have no agreed on principles today. R & D leaders can’t find a way forward on anything because there’s no common starting point (principles, constitution, laws, etc). If leaders were to come to agreement on principles, they wouldn’t be able to get consent from a large percentage of the country. Much of the media would attack anything that doesn’t involve a complete change in principles.
Unlike liberals, progressives, BLM, ANTIFA, and other leftist groups do not accept the principles our country was founded on. They’ve also redefined language to a point we can’t even understand each other to discuss a way to agree on a starting point for fixing things. And they’ve accepted that incivility and violence are acceptable in order to move their ideas forward. Some nuts on the right also accept violence but conservative leaders are not advocating violence and large groups of conservatives are not turning into violent mobs the way left groups do.
The principle of “consent of the governed” is one example we’ve lost. Neither party cares about that principle. And, just as bad, a large percentage of the population will not consent to the elected government simply because it was the wrong party, not because of any specific actions or policies.
No matter how bad 1968 was, there was a way forward. We can’t even talk, much less agree to starting principles and move forward on disagreements. And violence is accepted as a principle by the left.
Yes, pretty good analysis. in 1968 (I was graduating from high school) the times were way more tumultuous than they are now.
The times are not worse but the hate is worse and the incivility is far worse.
Those times were discouraging They seemed like they would never end. Not much better until Nov 1980
If I knew then what I know now, I would have support Pat against Bush I in 88 and 92!
