Pew: 91% Democrats see violence next in war of words
Washington Examiner ^ | 07-19-19 | Paul Bedard

After a week that saw President Trump and his foes toss toxic words at each other, there is now a warning that the next phase could be “violence.”

Nearly 8 of 10 Americans told the Pew Research Center that supporters for both sides could “act” on the politically charged rhetoric with violence. It was higher for Democrats, 91%, than Republicans, 61%.

And they want politicians to cool it.

There are many fairly simple ways to paralyze a city.

Violence is not “next”. Political violence is already here.

- Terrorists shot (republican) Representative Steve Scalise.
- Terrorists shot (republican) Senator Rand Paul.
- Terrorists put on their Antifa masks and assault random people they suspect of being anywhere on the political right.

What needs to happen is more self-defense against the evil of the globalist left. Good guys returning violence against evil is the solution to today’s unprovoked political violence. That’s what happened in all the old western movies (and often in real life), and it was the right answer.

Every time I see photos of Antifa in action, I think of cool ways to sucker them into a nice L ambush.

Atlanta was merely inconvenienced, business as usual.

Nazis are leftists. Commies are leftists. The angst between them was for control of Germany, not conflicting idealism.

Let Democrats skin that smokewagon. They do not understand the catastrophe that will ensue...

I'm curious, however, to know who they expect will be standing between them and extermination.

(And please, don't use decimation. That's only one in ten.) 4th Gen Warfare dictates they will ALL have to go.

Figure, at 2 feet per body, laid side by side, that's 9,000 MILES, lined up on the street...

But it was still a major disruption. It personally caused me a ton of headaches for a couple of months.

The larger point is a few more of those chokepoints at other major flow areas could bring Atlanta to a standstill.

The fools know nothing of mutual support or fields of fire. They’d be sitting ducks to any group of grizzled Nam Vets. Even at our advanced age.

For the coming zombie violence:

Demoncrats will bring their black masks, LGBT banners, cement-filled milk shakes, machetes, and sledge hammers...

100-million Americans will bring their handguns, rifles, and, (the horror!), even some of those evil so-called silencers...

Yes, we are terribly vulnerable. A simple coordinated attack could wreak total gridlock.

I was gloating. I live and work in Suwanee. I do have a major client right where that bridge was destroyed, right off Armour Circle. Yuk.

Warnings from the Left about fears of violence ring hollow...There’s been plenty of it already, and all of it from them; it’s the conservatives that have shown restraint...Just a tactic by the Left to stem the unaccustomed pushback from DJT...

Hope he doubles down on calling them out...If there’s all out violence, the Left will cross that line and start it...They should be concerned about how it’s finished...

That's because the Left is hate. And if you react to their hate you will be declared hateful. Evil.

I’m ready. I’m still a damned good shot.
