I watched a video on a few shows yesterday of some young conservative man being punched out by a leftist on some campus.
We’ve seen that with campus riots, street riots, political assemblies, anti-fa rampages, and media fake events.
It’s the socialists who are more than willing to attack with physical violence and the conservatives who refuse to strike out or strike back. Part of why they do that is they know that the media will automatically brand them as the aggressors. That’s hard to do if you don’t retaliate at all.
BUT..it also shows that the leftists are more than willing to be violent. That is also the lesson of history. The socialists attack and kill people, whether Communists or Nazis. It is no different now.
Your prediction that they will move to mass violence is supported by their history of doing just that. The conservatives will prefer peaceful discussion and will be killed during the first attack. After that first attack, conservatives have historically fought very well. The issue will be surviving that first attack.
Note how they only attack on their own turf!
Note how they only burn down their own neighborhoods!
