‘See What You Made Me Do?’
American Thinker ^ | 9-16-2025 | Kevin Finn

Posted on 09/16/2025 3:19:16 AM PDT by servo1969

In the movie The Rainmaker, when Matt Damon’s character tries to help an abused woman, her husband attacks him. The enraged man becomes extremely violent, going so far as to tear a shelf off the wall to use as a weapon. During his attack, he shouts to his wife, “See what you made me do?”

------

Where have we seen this type of behavior before?

Well, we saw it in L.A. in 1992 and again last June. We saw it in Ferguson in 2014, and we saw it there again ten years later. We saw it in hundreds of U.S. cities in 2020. We’re seeing it now as leftists blame Kirk for inciting his own execution.

------

The ghoulish responses of some leftists to Kirk’s assassination are horrifying. Their underlying message is “You made us do this. Give us what we want or there’ll be more of this.”

We’re also witnessing protests that, thankfully, do not result in overt physical violence. Leftists sometimes block streets, wave signs, and hurl insults at passersby. Their behavior is reminiscent of a child throwing himself shrieking to the floor because he can’t get what he wants. Sadly, the intensity and the frequency of these tantrums are increasing to a fever pitch.

There is another disturbing aspect to these situations. Some in leadership positions are openly calling for violence unless we accede to their demands. Leftist rhetoric may sometimes cross the line into what the left, when attacking conservatives, defines as stochastic terrorism; that is, free speech used to advance violent ideas that lead inevitably to physical violence. And when their foot soldiers act out, they claim there’s no excuse for violence, or “that’s not who we are”.

It's been a full weekend since Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Not a single city or neighborhood had to board up their windows. That tells you all you need to know about the difference between the left and right in the US.

“Their behavior is reminiscent of a child throwing himself shrieking to the floor because he can’t get what he wants...”

Exactly so. Its generally recommended to let the child tire himself out and the tantrum ends without the desired result. I am more old school. Smack the kid on the a** and make him stop.[Yeah, whatever, don’t bother with the critiques...].

Same with these a-holes. We are not going to out “nice” them. We are not going to win the arguments with logic and facts. They don’t acknowledge those, even when you rub their noses in it.
Charlie was able to argue away and sway many away from their stupidity. But the hard core nub, the core of the putrid cyst is still there. Those are the ones that really need excising by exposure, shunning and isolation.
And, where necessary, a smack on the a**.

"See what you made me do" is straight out of the book Games People Play (Eric Berne, 1964).

Other games include "Let's You and Him Fight", "Uproar" (punctuated by a slamming door in domestic settings), and more.

““See what you made me do?” also applies to Putin and his Russian army ravaging Ukraine.

I blame academia for A LOT of things.

But #1 one list is my divorce.

My wife took an Early Childhood Development course when she was pregnant. She came home and informed me , not asked and not seeking my consent, that we would NOT be poddy training our child, nor EVER use corporal punishment. That the child would NEVER be spanked. Or punished. But that we would reason with him.

That children were born good, and only learned to be bad.

This from a professing Christian.

I then read her text book. The forward openly condemned

” Patriarchy “

The book was nothing short of anti judeo Christianity and pro Marxism, proclaiming science over religion.

I tried discussing it with her, but she insisted I was not college educated like the teachers and writers of the text book.

I told her I was not going to let my child wear diapers till he was shamed out of it in grade school.
That I would most certainly discipline my child .

We were in conflict from that day on.

Her mind had been warped by academia.

My role and responsibilities as a father and husband had been usurped.

We ended up divorcing over these irreconcilable differences.

How many of your children's teachers do you suppose took these Early Childhood Development classes ?

ALL OF THEM.

ACADEMIA IS NOW A SUBVERSIVE ACADEMY .

Remember the Antifa riots ? Many times those arrested were school teachers.Not a few, a lot.

Our whole education system needs to be eliminated and replaced with something based on something other than Marxist ideology.

What the left’s position, after the murder of Charlie Kirk, is, amounts to this:

We believe we should have the right to call anyone a Nazi.

We believe we should be the only ones who decide if the charge is true.

Nobody who is friends with someone accused of being a Nazi is allowed to defend them — they’re Nazis TOO!

Then, if we decide someone really IS a Nazi, we get to shoot them.

And then the world owes us a Gold Star for killing a Nazi.

Also, we’re against the death penalty, so nobody else gets to kill anyone. Especially nobody gets to kill us.

But we still get to kill anybody.

And finally, if you disagree with any of this, you’re a Nazi.
