Left uses violence as its stock in trade
The Washington Times ^ | April 27, 2026 | Editorial Board

Posted on 04/28/2026 3:37:33 PM PDT by TBP

President Trump has now survived three assassination attempts. The perps weren’t exactly members of Moms for Liberty.

The liberal media like to portray violence as coming exclusively from the right. President Biden claimed that White supremacy was the greatest threat to America.

What do Luigi Mangione (charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson), the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk, the man convicted of the 2012 attack on the Family Research Council, and the shooter at a practice session for the 2017 Congressional Baseball Game have in common? All are or were hard-core leftists.

Most of the political violence in America comes from the left. Black Lives Matter and antifa are just the latest examples.

Violence has always been an integral part of the left, going back to its origins in the French Revolution. The firing squads of Bolshevik Russia, the chaos that preceded National Socialism’s rise to power in Germany, the slaughter of Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward and the Cambodian Killing Fields are more examples of mass murder perpetrated by the left.

The left’s rhetoric also encourages violence. When prominent Democrats compare Mr. Trump to Adolf Hitler and charge that he is plotting to tear up the Constitution, this is not conducive to a reasoned debate.

Don’t forget the rat party founded the KKK.

Yet fake Republicans won’t fight back.

Every time Chuck Schmuck goes on the Senate floor and wildly rants with his lies and vitriolic rhetoric it’s crickets from the Republicans.

Why doesn’t Cruz or Kennedy or anyone do the same and call him out?

But they can’t even consider that they are the source. We are the cause because we trigger them with our views!

Reasoned debate? Democrats have given up on that. Ask Hakeem Jefferies. He’s talking about war.

If we want to be accurate, there is no such thing as "left" and "right".

At least they’re consistent. They’ve been doing that since the 1860s and before. They’ve never gotten over Lincoln freeing their slaves.

I was really impressed with Karoline Leavitt’s list of a FEW of the calls to violence by Dems such as Hakeem saying it is now a period of all out war, followed by the shooting.

The Left has gone full Marxism/moral relativism.

They are pure evil and their end game is chaos and civil war.

We know this.

The question isn't, "What will they do next?"

The question is, "When are we going to respond and how?"

They try to assassinate our president and what do we do? Nothing but talk.

When wild dogs chase us off the streets in front of our houses, we hate it because we love dogs, but we know action is required.

Wild dogs are in our streets and they are threatening us and the country we love.

Either we take action or kiss our country goodbye.

What do we do? I don't know–or at least I am hesitant to suggest. But like it or not, we must act.

We are like tolerant parents when their children are destroying their house. There comes a time when we must stop it.

Violence is the only thing the Democrat Party has to give.

Okay. We know that.

So what do we do to stop it before they destroy the country?

If the Civil War was honestly named, it would be called the First Democrat v. Republican war.

The Left has no argument. What’s left but violence?

I think you are correct. Civil war is what the Left wants.

What we need to do next isn't to keep repeating the obvious–that the Left wants civil war.

We know that.

What we need to do now is figure out how to respond. I don't know the answer because we as a country have never been here before.

But we are here now and we need to start thinking about and planning how to deal with this problem.

The first Republican President was shot to death by an entertainer.

After some time working corrections, I figured out criminals have two tools in their kit. Deception and violence or the threat of violence. Democrats /the Left are the same.
