When pressed to denounce violent far-left group Antifa, Joe Biden pronounced, they’re “an idea not an organization.” The day Biden was inaugurated, Antifa repaid him for the favor by trashing the Democrat Party headquarters in Portland.
Antifa has rampaged with relative impunity throughout the country, but nowhere more so than in Portland – an “idea” which has enjoyed more than 220 days of uncontested rioting in the last year.
Despite this, Biden has pronounced that the domestic terror threat of our times is right-wing “white supremacy,” citing the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill incident. In their race to banana republic status, the Democrats are now impeaching Trump (again) for “inciting violence” – while they themselves have been fomenting violence on a larger, more horrifying scale for years and put DC under a military occupation.
While a laundry list of leftist violence would fill entire articles, let’s remember that now-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer threatened dissenting justices on the stairs of the Supreme Court while now-Vice President Kamala Harris warned that people should “beware” of relentless BLM riots.
This type of brazen dishonesty about political violence escapes the realm of mere hypocrisy, whizzes past cognitive dissonance, and soars right into Orwellian doublespeak – no doubt why Mr. Orwell’s cautionary 1984 was the top-selling book of 2020.
One of the efforts to silence political opposition is to label dissenters as universally violent based on the behavior of the extreme few. In all of this, the voice of reason has become Bill Maher, who says such shockingly logical things as we can’t discriminate against millions upon millions of Trump voters because of the bad actions of a very small minority of them. This is the same insistence that “tolerant” leftists make on behalf of all Muslims after terror attacks, but conveniently forget regarding their political rivals.
Ignoring their own homilies about “tolerance,” the chosen method for handling this is for Silicon Valley tyrants – who made their billions violating your privacy – to eject wrong-thinkers off of their platforms. This gives the disgruntled nowhere to respond to the relentless, bigoted, dehumanizing attacks from celebrities, news anchors, and elected Democrats, so they are forced underground.
The obvious outcome is that larger, justifiably angry masses will mix with the actual radical few. When people are excluded from the public square, the only place left to go is the shadows –which creates tragedies like the recent pizza-gate shooter in a D.C. restaurant.
But what’s giving more credit to otherwise radical, underground anxieties are how leftists keep proving other suspicions true.
For example, many people suspected the draconian coronavirus lockdowns in hopelessly blue fiefdoms like Chicago, New York, and California were done just to sabotage to Trump’s roaring economy, and – what incredible timing! – they are now re-opening. On a grander scale, many have feared that the coronavirus provided the opportunity for globalist organizations to hijack the planet with a “Great Reset” – and then the World Economic Forum announced they wanted to do just that.
Republicans have consistently denounced political violence from right-wing extremists while Democrats and their media hand-maidens have egged left-wing violence on. This fundamental violation of our social contract has damaged the entire country.
Detroit – America’s blackest city – is suing BLM for the massive damage caused by their “peaceful protests.” It’s hard to put a dog on a leash once you’ve put a crown on his head. Ignoring the reality of organized political violence, will be terrible for everyone and Democrats need to stand up to it rather than lie about it.
Just an idea.
I guess it all seemed like a good Idea at the time.
Amusing to observe the paranoia of AOC. She actually believes her own rhetoric and she fears that she will be “put against the wall”.
“Antifa has rampaged with relative impunity throughout the country”
Not sure I completely agree with that. There’s parts of the country these punks DO NOT want to venture into.
The dems are trying their best to start a civil war. Then they can take dictitorial measures including forced removal of our guns.
The author spends most of the article saying the Democrats foment violence and won’t condemn it, then concludes “Democrats need to stand up to [the reality of organized political violence] rather than lie about it.”
Why would they do that when their extreme organized violence has worked so well for them?
Comandante Jao Bribem And Commiela Harris’ rule by decree of the politboro will outlaw drilling for oil and gas today. This is a direct frontal assault on my livelihood - which is a legal activity under United States laws and regulations. Convince me: why should I not riot and create mayhem when my means of making a living is wiped out by decree from an illegitimate occupier of the seat of government, while surrounded by military troops and sycophant grifters.
How about if I ban fraudulent seizure of political office? Really what do they expect is going to happen, nothing? Ever seen a bread riot?
So it is with the present generation of Americans: America's worst generation, the ignominious, overindulged, self-destructive, mendacious descendants of the American boys who walked directly into machine gun fire on the beaches of Normandy to save the world from Nazi totalitarianism; of the people who conquered polio, abolished slavery, put a man on the moon, and peacefully won the Cold War; of the men, women, and children who created the greatest nation the world has ever known from an untamed wilderness.
The sad words of the self-destructive, overindulged children of Hollywood are a suitable epitaph for them and the priceless heritage and the priceless nation they destroyed:
Yeah. But I wish they would come up to my property. They would have a blast.
Why would they do that when their extreme organized violence has worked so well for them?

Exactly! They only have control of the House, Senate, and Presidency to show for their actions.
If I have learned any lesson from 2020, it’s that civil disobedience, vilence, and vandalism pay. Hell, not only does it pay, it pays well.
That’s what mean....I know people that are ready and waiting...they show up in certain places its gonna be bad juju.......FOR THEM.
I don’t want to read anything about naked Democrats.
Especially Jerry Nadless.
You’ll never see ‘em. Being the cowards that they are they only attack the weak that can’t protect themselves.
...and are protected by spineless mayors and city councils in communist cities.
These idiots have already lost control and it has only been seven days.
Just so you know. If you have a comcast box in your house, your TV commercials are being directed by China who programs that box. Comcast sells the same software to Spectrum and other cable providers. But that is hardly necessary since Comcast is in 20 of the top 25 metro cities.
