They shoot, we meme: The glaring contrast between left and right in 2025

Have you noticed a stark contrast between the anti-liberty left and the pro-freedom right these days?  While one side is ramping up violence and lies, the other is having a grand old time pumping out sombrero memes and videos in an effort to restrain runaway government.  One side is cosplaying at some sort of “Civil War” ramp-up scenario.  The other realizes that those who have to resort to violence have run out of ideas, and that violence shows weakness in argumentation and ideological rigor.

As of this moment, the worst (subject to change) would be the story of Virginia A.G. nominee Jay Jones and his violent texts about Republicans:

WASHINGTON — Democrats are shamelessly standing by the party’s scandal-scarred Attorney General nominee for Virginia, Jay Jones, after vile texts surfaced of him fantasizing about then-Republican state House Speaker Todd Gilbert being assassinated.

Virginia Beach Dems insist Jones will serve with “integrity and accountability,” and gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger has refused to disavow him — despite sickening text messages where Jones fantasized about Gilbert getting “two bullets to the head” and called his young children “little fascists.”

What is even more disturbing is that instead of calling for him to drop out of the race, Virginia Democrats are defending his assassination fantasies.

But the problem with such a defense is that, as Mike Fragoso pointed out on X, “none of Jones’s critics have made a passionate argument that their political opponents deserve to have their kids killed.” [snip]

As Fragoso points out, the problem isn’t just that Democrats are defending the indefensible — it’s that they’re pretending it’s relatable and common — indicating these committees believe it’s normal for Democrats to want to murder their opponents. Framing Jones’ comments as though they’re something any decent, normal person might say...

How are they any less willing to kill or subjugate any who oppose them than they were in 1975?

I miss the old days.

Then:
Republicans: The tax rate should be 10%.
Democrats: The tax rate should be 12%.

Now:
Republicans: The tax rate should be 10%.
Democrats: Death to Republicans!

🙁

We are not the same.

The right isn’t violent enough?

I’m telling you, this is manipulation on both sides to get us at each other’s throat.
