and have told you for 15 years, that the Left is VIOLENT! and obviously, I’m not the only one who has noticed. From the BLM riots in Portland to multiple assassination attempts on Trump to Democrat silence on Mangione to Democrat backing of violent gang-bangers to infanticide, it has become abundantly clear. It’s no longer even possible to cogently argue otherwise anymore.
Political violence in America is not just a relic of the past. From the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump to the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, to the burning of Teslas in protest of Elon Musk, political violence is a present-day reality. More than 9,000 threats have been made against members of Congress this year—a “huge increase,” according to officials.
And moral people are disgusted!
We found that nearly one-third of Americans surveyed—and around half of those identifying as left-of-center—believe that the murder of certain public figures is at least somewhat justified. The figures are startling: 38 percent of respondents, and 55 percent of those left of center, said assassinating President Trump would be at least somewhat justified; 31 percent of respondents, and 48 percent of those left of center, said the same about Musk. Forty percent of respondents, and 58 percent of those left of center, deem it at least somewhat acceptable to “destroy a Tesla dealership” in protest.
How did so many people turn so evil?
We identified three key variables that predict support for violence: left-wing authoritarianism (characterized by a willingness to use coercion and punishment for progressive aims), external locus of control (the extent to which individuals feel powerless in their lives), and use of the left-wing social media platform Bluesky.
NARRATOR: “No, no she doesn’t.”
And the more I think about it, the more I think that elective abortion has been the “gateway drug” to all sorts of violence. It can be discussed in rather antiseptic terms in order to hide the ugliness of both the procedure and the industry.
And once one has accepted that, it is a short jump from there to rioting and even to assassination! Abortion is the toe-hold to Lefty violence. It is thus the mandatory entry point to being a Democrat or a Leftist in general!
