“When Must We Kill Them?”: George Mason Student Captures the Growing Violent Ideation on the Left
jonathanturley.com ^ | 04 19 2025 | Jonathan Turley

There is controversy at George Mason University after Nicholas Decker, an economics PhD student published an essay asking “When Must We Kill Them?” in reference to Trump and his supporters. The essay captures the growing violent ideation on the left, fueled by rage rhetoric from politicians and commentators. The danger is that, for some on the extremes of our society, the question is not “when must we kill them?” but “when can we kill them?”

On his Substack “Homo Economicus,” Decker warns that “evil has come to America” and that Trump is “engaged in barbarism” and seeking “to destroy the institutions which oppose” him. He then suggests that the answer may be murder and violence.

“What remains for us to decide is when we fight,” Decker writes. “If the present administration wills it, it could sweep away the courts, it could sweep away democracy, and it could sweep away freedom. Protest is useful only insofar as it can effect action. Our words might sway the hearts of men, but not of beasts.

If the present administration chooses this course, then the questions of the day can be settled not with legislation, but with blood and iron. In short, we must decide when we must kill them.“

I bet this Decker is a soy-boy beta cuck. If he met a real man in person, I bet he cowers instead of acting on his belief and starting an altercation with a real man. Chicken__it. To parlay an old west meme, he is a back shooter or dry-gulcher.

Decker will no doubt be godsmacked to disccover that those on the Right are going to fight back. Plus his army of indoctrinated pink-haired women and incels won’t be nearly as effective as he imagines.

This democrat blather is to inspire some deranged maniac to actually do it. There are millions of democrats who hope it happens and who would give 100% of their support to the killer.

Interestingly, not a word in the media about the attempted assassinations from last year.

New word for me: ideation.

From Dictionary.com: “the process of forming ideas or images”

Using words that practically no one knows the meaning of isn’t a good way of communicating. I’m surprised at Turley.

Does anyone on the Left think or even care that Trump could be gaslighting them to riot so badly that martial law can be declared and shut them down hard?

We prefer love over hate, life over death, open minds over closed, tolerance of ideas sufficiently defended, because you can’t hug your aborted child with nuclear arms, or any arms, especially his own ripped off arms.
