“Fight in the Streets”: Democratic Leader Hakeen Jeffries Triggers Renewed Debate Over Rage Rhetoric

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., triggered an outcry this week with his call for Democrats to fight President Donald Trump’s agenda “in the streets.” The incendiary language came not long after a man, Ryan Michael “Reily” English, was arrested at the Capitol with a knife and Molotov cocktails. According to court filings, English was allegedly targeting House Speaker Mike Johnson, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Notably, Jeffries has been one of the loudest voices condemning President Donald Trump for his own rhetoric, including calling on supporters to fight against election fraud and the 2020 election certification.

Jeffries reportedly declared “We are gonna fight it legislatively. We are gonna fight it in the courts. And we’re gonna fight it in the streets.”

Frankly, in light of the claims that Republicans are Nazis and plotting to overthrow democracy, the comment seems almost restrained in comparison.

Those narratives have far greater influence on figures like English, who likely dwell in the echo chamber of MSNBC and other outlets that have predicted the imminent demise of democracy.

Notably, English used the same Nazi rhetoric that is common on liberal sites. The FBI statement recounted:

“With respect to the ENGLISH’s arrest on January 27, 2025, ENGLISH admitted to leaving ENGLISH’s phone at home for surveillance purposes. ENGLISH left ENGLISH’s home in Massachusetts on Sunday, January 26, 2025, again leaving ENGLISH’s phone behind for surveillance purposes, and traveled to the District of Columbia with the intention of killing what ENGLISH referred to as “Nazi” Secretary of Defense, Peter Hegseth, and/or the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, and/or burning down the Heritage Foundation, “two blocks from the White House.” These actions were specifically to “depose” these political offices and send a message. ENGLISH admitted to buying an atlas a month ago to navigate ENGLISH’s way to the District of Columbia, given ENGLISH would not have a phone with GPS capability. ENGLISH further admitted that ENGLISH wore clothes to conceal ENGLISH’s appearance when purchasing the atlas and paid cash for the atlas.”

While the media often focuses on right-wing extremists, there have been repeated attacks from the left. Both sides have used similar language in rallying their supporters.

Trump used language like going to “fight” for his cause in the protest on the Hill, but he never actually called for violence or a riot. Rather, he urged his supporters to march on the Capitol to express opposition to the certification of electoral votes and to support the challenges being made by some members of Congress. He expressly told his followers “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Those words were routinely edited out of the clips by the January 6th committee.

The media has maintained the one-sided narrative on both political violence and violent rhetoric.

The Democrats often raise the Jan. 6th riot and it is important to acknowledge that the damage extended to an attack on our constitutional process. However, the preceding protest around the White House caused more injuries and more property damage. Then President Trump had to be removed to a safe location as the Secret Service feared a breach of the White House. There were a reported 150 officers injured (including at least 49 Park Police officers around the White House) in the Lafayette Park riot. Protesters caused extensive property damage including the torching of a historic structure and the attempted arson of St. John’s Church.

Mass shootings by leftist gunmen have repeatedly occurred, but those are treated as one-offs, while any conservative shooter is part of a pattern of right-wing violence.

Keith Ellison, the Democratic attorney general of Minnesota, even mocked the notion of liberal violence. In one tweet, he declared  “I have never seen @BernieSanders supporters being unusually mean or rude. Can someone send me an example of a ‘Bernie Bro’ being bad. Also, are we holding all candidates responsible for the behavior of some of their supporters? Waiting to hear.”

Republican Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana replied dryly: “I can think of an example.” Scalise was severely wounded at the 2017 shooting at a congressional baseball game practice by a Sanders supporter.

Ellison was a particularly ironic Democratic politician to repeat this mantra. When he was the Democratic National Committee deputy chair, Ellison praised Antifa, a violent anti-free speech group that regularly attacks conservatives, pro-lifers, and others.

Ellison said Antifa would “strike fear in the heart” of Trump. This was after Antifa had been involved in numerous acts of violence and its website was banned in Germany.

Ellison’s son, Minneapolis City Council member Jeremiah Ellison, declared his allegiance to Antifa in the heat of the protests this summer. When confronted about Antifa’s violence, then House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler denied that the group existed. Likewise, Joe Biden has dismissed objections to Antifa as just “an idea.”

Figures like Rep. Dan Goldman (D., N.Y.) have called for Trump to be “eliminated.” (He later apologized after triggering an outcry).

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., in 2018 encouraged her supporters to fight back against the Trump administration: “Let’s make sure we show up whenever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they’re not welcomed anymore, anywhere.”

The point is not that Jeffries is encouraging violence. I do not believe that. The point is the hypocrisy in the condemnation of such rhetoric in others while fueling anger among your own followers.

Previously, Jeffries went on MSNBC to denounce “the type of violence that we saw on January 6th because of the extreme rhetoric that is coming from many right-wing ideologues in this country.”

I have criticized what I have called the “rage rhetoric” on both sides for years. Once again, I am more concerned with the type of rhetoric repeated by figures like English. If you tell viewers every night that democracy is dying and the Nazis are coming, a certain percentage will believe it and take violent action. It is that small percentage of unstable individuals who end up trying to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh or massacre Republican members playing softball.

The thing about rage is that it allows you to ignore the conduct of your own allies. It gives a license to ratchet up the rhetoric. It also can produce absurd moments. One such moment was captured when Sen. Bernie Sanders (I, Vt.) confronted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and demanded to know: “Are you supportive of the onesies!”  It appears we have gone from supporting Commies to supporting onesies; from the Red Scare to the Bed Scare.

Notably, Sanders’ apparel alarm did not extend to the Antifa onesies that were the rage during the holidays with shoppers on the left.

Whether it is using “fight” rhetoric or buying onesies, the outrage tends to be forced and one-sided.

  1. The people of Haiti, fed-up with gang members bringing violence to their neighborhoods, decided to push back on the thugs with machetes. Gang-related killings and kidnappings have dropped as a result.

    1. And I do believe that many Americans are at that point also, I do hope Trump delivers on his promises before vigilantism takes hold.

  2. Jonathan: In this age of “rage”, as you call it, you keep trying to re-write the history of Jan. 6 by falsely claiming DJT “never actually called for violence or a riot”. What you conveniently ignore is what DJT told his followers on Jan. 6: “We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore”. This came at the end of DJT’s long speech that was immediately followed by the violent attack on the Capitol. DJT organized and planned the violent insurrection as an attempt to hold onto power despite his election loss to Joe Biden.

    Mitch McConnell found that DJT was responsible for the violent attack on the Capitol. So did the Jan. 6 House Select Committee. Jack Smith indicted DJT over Jan. 6. Smith’s long report indicates DJT was the principal cause of the insurrection. State courts have also found DJT responsible for the insurrection. Had Smith been able to try DJT most legal observers believe he would have been convicted. That’s the reality you ignore in your continued attempt to absolve DJT of any responsibility for what happened on Jan. 6, 2021. There are still 2020 election deniers and then there are so-called “academics” who claim all DJT wanted was a “peaceful” protest. All the evidence contradicts your claim!

    1. You need to catch up on the newly provided unredacted transcripts of the events of January 6 and several days prior. Certainly eye opening.

  3. Proclamation 80—Calling Forth the Militia and Convening an Extra Session of Congress

    “On April 15, 1861,…President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation calling forth the state militias, to the sum of 75,000 troops, in order to suppress the rebellion. He appealed ‘to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the integrity, and the existence of our National Union.’”

    Proclamation 92—Warning to Rebel Sympathizers

    “[On] July 17, 1862,…I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim to and warn all persons within the contemplation of said sixth section to cease participating in, aiding, countenancing, or abetting the existing rebellion or any rebellion against the Government of the United States and to return to their proper allegiance to the United States on pain of the forfeitures and seizures as within and by said sixth section provided.”
    _______________________________________________________________________________

    Now President Donald J. Trump MUST pull a full “Lincoln” and close the border, impose martial law, prosecute a war against the communist rebellion without a formal declaration, shred the Communist Manifesto and irrevocably extirpate all principles of communism in America, implement the “manifest tenor” of the Constitution and Bill of Rights including absolute freedom, absolute free enterprise, absolute free markets, absolute private property, and a substantial diminution of taxation and regulation, eliminate the Departments of Labor, Education, Agriculture, Energy, HUD, and EPA, issue the “Deportation Proclamation” deporting all illegal aliens, past and present, including those who illegally pursued citizenship as criminal border crossers and “asylum” seekers who all made false and fraudulent claims of phantom, nonexistent persecution as foreign citizens with no U.S. rights, establish coherent voter qualifications by State legislatures per the Constitution, declare English the sole official language of the United States, suspend habeas corpus, smash opposition printing presses, networks, podcasts, social media platforms, etc., and throw anyone and everyone who opposes him in prison to Save the Union until America is placed squarely back on the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

      1. You appear very familiar with sanatoria; are you assigned or visiting a relative with a similar condition?

  4. Trump’s tariffs are starting to tank the economy. Thanks to all the assclowns who put this nimrod in office.

    1. You are a LIAR. The only redeeming part is by being anonymous you show everyone that you don’t really believe what you say.

      1. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 337 points minutes after the announcement. Thanks to you, ac.

        1. On Saturday? Which “tariff” announcement are you referring to? The one President Donald J. Trump mentioned 8 years ago?

              1. Hold on there, Trumptard, the comment isn’t about how the markets did for the week, it’s about how the markets reacted immediately after the announcement was made.

          1. The question isn’t whether you’re stupid, it’s how stupid are you. Note what the commenter said: “…minutes after the announcement.” The S&P dropped on Friday in reaction to Trump’s announced tariffs. Word of advice: don’t comment on things about which you are utterly incompetent.

            1. Give it up, Lawn Boy. No one gives a shit about what you think.

              You’re daily whining is truly tedious.

              The price of cooking sherry is unchanged, so your life is status quo, drunktard.

  5. Sanders, Warren and several other democrat senators have gone pitt bull on some of Trump nominees.

    That is their right.

    I have no problem with that.

    Thus far – Many democrats have asked wise and thought provoking questions,
    Several have just been nuts. This harmed them and the democratic party – not Trump’s nominees.

    RFK Jr. and Gabbard are likely to have the greatest difficulty getting confirmed.

    Not because of tough democrat questions, but because they are both Former democrat presidential candidates,
    and there are several skeptical republicans.

    RFK Jr. has problems because his views are being misrepresented as more extreme than they are.

    Gabbard had problems because there are still too many GOP Neo-Con senators.

    Sanders should be supporting Both RFk Jr. and Gabbard as there is zero possibility of any Trump nominee that will be closer to Sanders views than either of those.

    Would Democrats rather have John Bolton as DNI ? Or Andrew Pudzer at HHS ?

    Regardless, I do not want to censor Jeffries of Sanders.

    I want them to say what they beleive and to be able to judge them accordingly.

    I do not beleive that extreme politic rhetoric causes political violence.
    I do not beleive that ANY “lone wolf” political violence is anything more than a symptom of mental health issues.

    Groups – like Antifa are meaningful – and dangerous – but they do not give a schiff about minority leader Jeffries remarks.

    We do have a serious problem because of the epidemic of anxiety and depression that is
    Worse with women
    Worse with the young
    Worse on the left.

    We KNOW how to treat anxiety and depression – Cognative Behavioral Therapy.
    That means ACTIVELY purging delusional thoughts.

    What is wreaking havoc is NOT “we will fight them in the streets”.
    It is nonsense like Men can become women or Trump is a Putin puppet, or masks work, or lockdowns work,
    government can spend as much as it wants without consequence.

    The left rants about disimformation and misinformation – But THEY are the source of all the consequential delusional claims of the past 15 years.

    We have more than doubled anxiety and depression because so many on the left BELEIVE we are on the Cusp of fascism,
    That racism is worse than it has ever been, that the planet is going to incinerate itself.

    We have problems. But we live in the best country in the world at the best moment in time – except tomorrow.
    We have things to fix. But overall life is better – for EVERYONE that 10 years ago, than 20years ago, than 40 years ago,
    than 100 years ago.

    It should be no surprise that people who think the world is going to schiff have massive problems with anxiety and depression.

    It should also be no suprise that those same people wish to silence those that challenge their delusions.

    The beleifs of those on the left do not hold up under free debate, subject to logic and reason.

    Either those contradicting your delusions must be silenced.
    Or you might have to resolve the cognative distortions of your own world view.

    As Rand and Aristotle note – everything starts with “1 = 1”

    “Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.”
    ― Ayn Rand

    1. John Say seems to be off his meds again.

      Yet another interminably long, incoherent, irrational comment of completely disconnected thoughts that flitter aimlessly and pointlessly through his addled mind.

      By the way, is that the same Ayn Rand who railed against socialism and the welfare state, while her only source of income was Social Security.

      1. Social Security was not Ayn Rand’s only source of income. She was a prolific writer who paid income tax. She considered Social Security to be a form of restitution.

      2. “. . . the same Ayn Rand who . . .”

        Government forces you (and your employer) to pay into the SS retirement fund. Are you claiming that one does not have a right to accept that money at retirement age?

        “. . . her only source of income was Social Security.”

        It’s amazing how often you are spectacularly wrong.

        When you write fabulously popular novels, you are paid something called royalties — for a very long time.

        Before you reply: Then why did she need SS? That’s not the point. The fact that government confiscated her money for decades, and that she has a right to recoup it, is the only point.

        P.S. Your silly ad hominem has nothing to do with the validity of her ideas.

    2. Was Ayn Rand a believer in “alternative facts”?

      Great novelist. I actually read Atlas Shrugged cover to cover. (Not in one sitting).

      “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do.”

      —Ralph Waldo Emerson

  6. It was not that long ago that the entire US banded together to kill fascists. Now we call them “MAGA”s and hope they won’t destroy the country too much.

    1. Wrong. The majority of Americans voted for freedom, rule of law. The Democrat party needs to kick the stupid and insane woke leftists out of their party.

      1. Uh No. There are the MAGA diehards that for reasons that social scientists will study for years, have complete devotion to a chronic, habitual liar, thief, serial bankrupter of businesses, a racist, misogynist and all-around fool, and would vote for this clown no matter what. You MAGAs are devotees of MAGA media, set up and maintained by billionaries who want lower taxes and rolling back of regulations. So, they hook gullible chronically angry non college educated whites with lies and culture wars nonsense branded as “freedom of speech” and promote the most-unfit candidate for president in history–a convicted felon. Then there are the moderates–these folks believed the lie about groceries. Their belief in the lie about groceries is how the pig got into office–cheating and lying, as usual.

        1. What is this MAGA media you keep speaking of? I have a paid subscription to The Free Press. I dont watch Fox news. For that matter I dont watch MSM at all. No one is angry, except you. For that matter we are all quite content with how Trump is so far handling things. He is securing the border. He is getting DEI out of the government. You keep harping on the groceries thing. We all know and I have stated here many times that the effects of Bidenomic and Bidenflation will be felt for years if not a decade.

      2. NotReallyaFarmer
        For once you are right.
        The majority of Americans voted for freedom.
        More people voted against Trump than voted for him, but the Electoral College got in the way.
        More people voted for a Democrat candidate, but gerrymandering got in the way.

        1. More people voted for a Democrat candidate, but gerrymandering got in the way.

          What the fvxk are you talking about?

  7. Prof. Turley – I am sorry – I do not give a schiff about the “fighting words” rhetoric if democrats.
    Nor do I care when it is from Republicans.

    Nor do I buy the nonsense that this rhetoric drives real violence.

    The overwhelming majority of mass killing, and political violence is committed by people who are seriously mentally disturbed.
    They are pretty much guaranteed to do something bad.
    Do they glom onto violent political rhetoric – certainly.
    But they are nuts and something will drive them.
    Giffords shooter was motivated by grammer, The Unibomber was driven by the Greens,
    The El Paso shooter had a manifesto that implicated both the right and the left.

    Does it really matter if they glom onto right wing or left win political rhetoric ?

    I think not.

  8. “Fighting in the streets.” That sounds like he’s fomenting insurrection to me. 18 USC 2383. Didn’t the Democrats jail a number of patriots in 2020 on that basis? And most of those folks were invited into the Capitol by CH police, and merely wandered about as tourists.

  9. You dumbass MAGAs. Must is taking over the government without accountability from Trump, Congress, or the voters. He does not have your interests at heart.

    1. Do those of you on the left have any original thoughts ?
      First Trump was a putin puppet now it is musk.

      Meanwhile we just lived through 4 years of president demento.
      No one thinks Biden was making the calls. Though we are not sure what failed left wing nut to blame for the disaster.

      Trump’s approval rating is the highest it has ever been
      Support for his polices is even higher.
      People – not just Trump supporters are so far getting what they want.
      I think that there is nearly 50 pts between support for Trump polices and support for Biden policies.

      While you are a moron if you think Trump is a surogate for Musk.
      But even if that was true – who cares ?
      I have little doubt Musk for win a presidential election – if he was eligible, but he is not.
      The majority of the country would be happy with a Musk presidency by proxy,
      so long as he delivered on Agenda 47.

      1. Constantly confronting the ignorance of the ignorant progs is what needs to be done. Just as Trump is shotgunning the left with EOs and such, we should overwhelm these trolls with data to the point that they experience lie-overload.

        1. The most important thing that must happen in the next 4 years is success. A repeat of Trump’s first 3 years would be sufficient. But Trump appears to be committed to doing far better.

          I do not expect Trump will deliver the utopia he proimised – but I expect better than 2017-2020 and less than utopia.

          I do not support every Trump policy – but he was the best choice in the last election.

          i would further note though the EO’s are interesting, and we need to clean house in the Executive.

          The most important thing Trump must do is deliver prosperity.

          democrats and the left are mostly irrelevant at the moment.

          The future is Trump and Republicans to lose.

          Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism, but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice; all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things. All governments which thwart this natural course, which force things into another channel, or which endeavour to arrest the progress of society at a particular point, are unnatural, and to support themselves are obliged to be oppressive and tyrannical.

          Adam Smith

        2. We can start by asking them, “What is a woman?”

          Many in the Biden administration could not answer this question. They avoided it like a plague.

          Matt Walsh asked local tribal leaders in Africa if a man can become a women. They laughed at his question. Then he told him that there are people in the west who think this is possible. They laughed even more.

          If a grown man wants to pretend he is a woman, he is free to do so, but that does not make him a woman. Yet, there were numerous activists who tried to force feed this narrative on the citizens of this nation, especially innocent children.

          This is only one example of how abnormal and weird our previous administration really was (and those who were part of it still are).

      2. So you have no problem with Elmo Muskrat running the country.
        By his own admission he is autistic and is being treated for depression.
        His parents confirm that he is mentally ill.
        He regularly takes ketamine.
        By his own admission he takes LSD, magic mushrooms, and marijuana.

        All of these things would disqualify him from any high level government position or any kind of security clearance.

        1. Musk is not running the country.
          But lets accept your absurd premise – or project into some future when Musk really is the proxy president – No I have no problems with him being president or the power behind the president.

          Half the country purportedly has autism today – I do not give a schiff if Musk has autism.

          If he is suffering from Depression – “please, can I have whatever he is having ?”

          Most of us do not dream of accomplishing a tiny fraction of what Musk does.
          Most of us do less in a lifetime that musk in a day.

          I am libertarian – all drugs should be legal and the FDA should be shutdown.
          I do not care what musk or anyone else takes. I care what they do.

          If you can manage to catch a bazillion ton rocket on descent with chopsticks – take whatever you want.
          If you rob a liquor store – I do not care if you are stone cold sober.

          I do not recomend that anyone takes what you claim Musk is taking. The evidence is that does not work well for most people. But whatever you wish to take – thatr should be legal, and then you should be judged – not on what you put into your body, but what you accomplish.
          Musk wins that hands down.

        2. Have you had a security clearance ? I had a TS/SCI more than a decade ago.

          None of what you list disqualifies one from getting a security clearance – especially if disclosed.

          What matters is not what you ingest – but what you DO. Lying about it is a big deal.

          Would you have disqualified Alan Turning or Robert Openheimer from security clearances ?

          Turing besides being closeted gay was also extremely depressed – suicideal.
          Openheimer had a long list of problems including infidelity, and associations with communists.
          H311 half the scientiest that gave us the bomb were communists, and many of them were closeted gays.
          Lots were alcholocs.

          The executive branch has a massive security complex, and processes and procedures, but CONSTITUTIONALLY

          National security is the domain of the president and at the whim of the president.

          Hillary Clinton should not have ever been able to get a security clearance again.
          But she was qualified to be president – the president is automatically cleared for EVERYTHING.
          They can also clear ANYONE for whatever they want, they can classify or declassify anything they want.
          While they can not do so merely by thinking it – very very little more is required.

          The only national secuity limits on the president are in the constitution – pretty close to NONE.

        3. Anonyingus

          Regan/Bush CIA funded guns for cocaine trafficking.

          They found cocaine in the Biden Whitehouse…Hunter off the hook.

          Obama sold weed and blow by his own admission and reportedly smoked crack and sausages with fellow homosexual Larry Sinclair (affidavit and polygraph).

          Where you been hiding, in Minnesota under a Soros funded brick?

        1. NotReallyaFarmer

          What is the range of your wi-fi when you are out commenting from your “tractor”.
          How far from the “farm house” can you get before you lose signal.

      3. It is Project 2025 that we are seeing implemented.

        And let’s be clear that you just expressed support to ending our system of government as long as MAGAs get what they want.

        1. No it is agenda 47.

          But again – does it MATTER what label you put on it ?

          Those of you on the left successfully turned Project 2025 into a curse word – without anyone ever examining what project 2025 even means.

          The problem you are NOW having is that people are judging Trump by what he DOES, not by what you CALL IT.

          Whether What Trump is doing right now is labeled Project 2025 or Agenda 47 or …..

          Each and every thing Trump is doing is something specific he promised to do – whether that is also in the pages of project 2025 or not. It is what voters expected. And in most cases it has supermajority support.

          Those of you on the left love to play word games.
          Words are important – they are how we communicate. Mangling the meaning of words as those of you on the left do constantly interferes with our ability to communicate.

          But there is another means of communicating – we communicate by DOING

          You can not change reality with words. actions speak loader than words.
          Trump is doing what he promised – whatever you call it.
          And it is what people voted for.

          Nearly every single EO hits right at the top 3 reasons that voters in exit pols gave for their vote.

          Trump is popular – but his policies are even more popular.
          Your labeling them as Project 2025 does not change that.

          Just as your labeling him worse than Hitler, a threat to democracy, a nazi, a convicted felon did not change anything.

          People do not care anymore about YOUR labels.
          They knew what they were getting when they elected Trump.

          In fact your defamation prior to the election HELPS him now.

          You told people – Trump was Hitler – they voted for him anyway.
          You told people – ….. They voted for him anyway.

          What are you going to say now that Trump is president that will move the needle more than what you said before ?

          Trump is doing what he promised – and what voters expected.

          He will be judged based on how well it works – not what you call it.

        2. If it gets DEI, pronouns, and all those other stupid thing Biden created, out of the government, yes, I support it. Just like I support a secure border which Trump is accomplishing while Biden failed.

    2. Riiiiiiight….
      Do you mean like taking it back from Soros and his anti law enforcement DAs or do you mean like his funding for BLM and Antifa?

  10. Jeffries also said, “We will never surrender”. I guess that will encourage the other side to take no prisoners.

  11. Marginalization:

    They marginalize you with witty innuendo like:
    You/They Live that way because you/they want to live that way,
    There are Have and Have nots,
    You have to let people have their place.
    or the cover all: It is what it is.
    Well-No it’s not … It is what it is because You are what you are, and your not doing the Job (or being fair).

    There are Many ‘Talking Heads’ On the Air. In the Office, and in your own Home, piped and pumped in at full volume.
    The Queen Diva of Marginalization Rachel Maddow in but one. CNN blast the hostile verbiage at you, and those whom are addicted to anger and marginalization, recapitulate ‘the Rage’* to marginalize others with, dehumanizing and demoralizing them. They ‘box’ you in with 8 cornering points of marginalizing rhetorical and conjecture of your own statements, that doesn’t even reflect your position. yet you are the one held responsible for their mindless rants. They hammer you with it, into submission. You are there for them to beat you down and berate endlessly, Because they don’t know when to stop or they knowingly do it continuously to their satisfaction.

    This repressive subjugation is to maintain the Rentier economy that supports their stature and sustains Them. They need Subordinates to make their morally and bankrupt fiat world to work. So that they live free and high and mighty. (and Lets not forget the Bankers running the whole show)

    You will never be allowed to correct them or God forbid treat them with to the same medicine (play their same game).
    If you take away their ability to subordinate, they are nothing.

    I just said the quiet part out loud.

      RFK Jr. Says the Quiet Part Out Loud!
      RFK Jr. has had enough of the charade, and calls out Bernie to his face about accepting millions from pharmaceutical companies.
      RFK Jr. said the quiet part out loud. Pharmaceutical companies own our politicians.
      And look at how badly Bernie panics.

  12. And those criticizing the hypocrisy of rage rhetoric on the Left also have to criticize the consistent rage rhetoric of the Right. I’d say more but I have some cat and dog warming up in the microwave and need to season.

  13. Professor,
    Like to take a moment to thank you for pointing out the hypocrisy of your own party. Takes a degree of intestinal fortitude to do it. Well done and keep up the good work!

    1. NotReallyaFarmer

      Did the “tractor” start OK on this cold morning.
      Are you done putting out feed, or are you commenting from the “tractor again”.

      1. The Department of Agriculture is a communist redistribution of wealth scheme and entirely unconstitutional.

    2. Uh oh USF, looks like your cyber stalker has arrived. I got another month or so before planting. I don’t want that last frost to get my sprouts!

      1. Traveler,
        Yeah. It seems to have these weird fantasies about me. Seems I live rent free in it’s little, demented mind. I got a ways to go before our last frost date.

        1. yes, “It” tried me too, calling me a lesbian tax-complainer in Florida.
          Would’ve had some credibility if “It” had gotten at least one of the three correct, so you can see “It” has weird fantasies of me too. Likely tries to destroy anyone whose comments are contrary to one of “It’s” comments.

          1. “. . . if “It” had gotten at least one of the three correct . . .”

            But you can’t deny believing in Italian Mafia Martians, and in an alter-ego AI ( nee “AL”) that causes all your goofs.

            “We” have the evidence.

  14. Has anyone considered the probability that the leftist voices here are chatbots?

    They/Dem read like it.

    J

    1. Yes, because they’re repetitive as the Abe Lincoln guy or the price of groceries girl etc. It may all be including the blog itself. Little constitutional dilemmas for study…

      Take it to the streets is ambiguous language. It could be street fights or silent protests. Street people. What are street people? Probably far fetched..

      1. So we disparage the Sun because it is “repetitive” in that it rises every day?

        Rote is the technique by which Americans will finally learn and realize that Lincoln was the destroyer of constitutional American freedom and the inflection point at which America changed course to the incremental implementation of the current ubiquitous and comprehensive communism that oppresses the nation.

  15. We are expected to believe that President Trump incited a riot when he told rally goers to “peacefully let their voices be heard”, yet Jeffries was not inciting violence when he told everyone to “fight in the streets.”

    1. We are expected to believe that Jeffries incited a riot when he told everyone “fight in the streets”, yet President Bonespur was not inciting violence when he told everyone, “if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

      1. Ya know, I don’t care at all what Jeffries says. Professor Turley is just being inclusive with this post. Fight on jeffries…

      2. “We are [twelve days into] fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

        Barack Hussein Hackkeen Jeffries is an insurrectionist with evident foreign allegiances and a direct and mortal enemy of the American Thesis of Freedom and Self-Reliance, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, actual Americans, and America.

  17. President Trump should invite Hakeem and his little clutch purse brigade to meet on a D.C. Street some night……..and then release a truckload of Tren de Aragua’s finest into the crowd.

  18. Speaking of ENGLISH, President Donald J. Trump should make English the single official language of the United States of America, affording the incoming parasites and leeches the opportunity to demonstrate their allegiance and fealty to the Constitution by engaging in self-reliance and paying for their own interpreters and translated materials.

  19. Could he clarify what fighting in the streets means? The majority of Americans are on board with Trump policies. So, who is he going to fight against? Or, is he just going to resort to the “Nazi,” thing? Again.

    1. I took it to mean assassinate Republican politicians and Cabinet members.

      That rhetoric led to a couple of assassination attempts on Trump, already.

      1. Karen S,
        Good point. Seems his and other Democrat’s rhetoric fuels violence and the mentally unstable i.e. woke leftists.

    2. You mean like the beer hall putsch in 1923, Hitler’s violent attempted coup against the German republic? Remind me again, who are the Nazis here?

      1. Vincente…………actually, the Leftists, Dems are the “Not see’s”!!! They can Not See (or rather, refuse to see) reality and truth and common sense all around them.
