We are seeing increasing support for violent action across social media, including those lamenting that the recent presidential assassination was not successful. Conservative sites have been featuring teachers and others who were upset that the recent effort failed, including one who has now lost her job. The current violence and violent rhetoric have been building for years as our leaders fuel the rage in the nation.
One poll by the University of Virginia Center for Politics found that 52 percent of Biden supporters say Republicans are now a threat to American life, while 47 percent of Trump supporters say the same about Democrats. Among Biden supporters, 41 percent believed violence is justified “to stop [Republicans] from achieving their goals.” An almost identical percentage, 38 percent, of Trump supporters embraced violence to stop Democrats.
The support for violence has been growing. One prior poll shows a quarter of Americans supporting political violence.
An earlier survey from the Baker Center at Georgetown University also captured the growing divide among Americans on this 250th anniversary year of our revolution. The public’s distrust of the media, democracy, and each other appears to be growing as one out of seven Americans now embraces political violence.
That survey also showed the continuing drop in support for the media. As the mainstream media continues to show the same bias and advocacy journalism that has been alienating many citizens, roughly half (49%) of the public has little or no confidence in the press. Roughly the same percentage believes that the press favors the Democrats in its coverage. The percentage with great confidence in the media is now just 18%.
One of the most chilling aspects of the survey is the drop in faith in each other and in democracy. A shocking 57% believe that members of the opposite party are a somewhat or very serious “threat to the U.S. and its people.” Only 69% say that democracy is “preferable to any other kind of government.”
The drop in support of democracy is particularly concerning with almost 10% of the public saying that political violence is “sometimes” warranted and 5% say that individual acts of political violence are “often” or “very often” justified.
With the third attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, the survey suggests and a sizable number of Americans may share the views of Cole Allen that even murder is now a legitimate, even righteous, response to political opponents.
The New York Times recently ran a podcast in which radical Hasan Piker, the New York Times Opinion Culture Editor Nadja Spiegelman, and New Yorker writer Jia Tolentino captured the moral relativism that has taken hold of the left in American society. They cheerfully described the rationale for everything from “microlooting” to murder.
In response to the latest assassination attempt, Hakeem Jeffries declared, “I don’t give a damn” about criticism over his reckless rhetoric. That is hardly surprising for a politician whose favorite political prop appears to be a baseball bat, but it shows how politicians hope to ride this rage wave back into power. For Jeffries, rage may be the ticket to becoming the next Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The sad fact is that violent rhetoric works in an age of rage. Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger called upon her supporters to “Let your rage fuel you.” She then refused to withdraw her support for the Democratic candidate for Attorney General, Jay Jones, who once expressed his desire to kill his political opponents and his children.
It is the combination of this rising moral relativism with the failing faith in our system that represents an existential threat to our Republic. We will be facing unprecedented economic and social challenges in this decade. We have a system that is designed for such changes.
In my book, Rage and the Republic” I discuss what I view as a crisis of faith in our values and ourselves.
When Michel Guillaume Jean de Crèvecoeur asked, “What then is the new American, this new man?” he was a Frenchman. Later, the author, cartographer, farmer, and diplomat would adopt a new name as John Hector St. John as well as a new identity: an American farmer. ,,, What was so striking about Letters from an American Farmer was the fourth word: American. At a time when most people still identified with their states as Georgians or Virginians, Crèvecoeur wrote as one of a new people known as Americans…
The greatest challenge of this century may be a rediscovery of that essential character that seemed so clear to these early writers when they first came upon our shores. Call it a crisis of faith or a confusion of the times, but many seem unsure whether we represent something beyond the totality of our wealth or power. We were much more than that when we first assumed the moniker of Americans. The question, is what we are now? Or, perhaps more pointedly, what do we aspire to be in this new century?
Jonathan Turley is a law professor and the New York Times best-selling author of “Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution.”
The oddest thing – when it is a conservative wacko that resorts to violent rhetoric or actual violence the act is part of a Right Wing white Extremist Conspiracy that is a threat to democracy. But when a leftist scumbag takes the same approach the Dirtball Woke Politicians and Karen’s all rush to the microphone or TV camera to claim it is a lone-wolf actor that is just misunderstood or is a ‘victim’ of our ‘inadequate mental health infrastructure,’ right! The hypocrisy is overwhelming when you listen to the idiocy of the left! Any one with an IQ above zero should never be able to rationalize voting for Democrats unless they are a victim of our ‘inadequate mental health infrastructure.’
Man! this topic really stirred up the leftoids. Violence much?
Why does it seem like libs that want to take away your guns, are the ones using guns to try to overthrow a political regime ?
Seems? Perhaps only in your mind Billy.
BillyG,
Guns are bad according to them . . . unless they can use guns to kill their political opponents. Then it is perfectly fine. Just goes to show you how delusional they are.
Violence is part of all societies. Political violence has been around since Roman times. It was part and partial since the American Revolution. In 2026 you’re all finally convinced democrats are fomenting revolution through violence only because your preferred media outlet says so?
Obviously you old guys must be really really bored with your lives that you come here and like a bunch of old women exaggerate the world around you. If you’re convinced, but talk to your doctor first, its reality, then do something about it instead of sitting here all day. Sacrifice yourselves to a common cause.
YET ANON is here all day! No job and supported by the government ANON???
Yeah, you don’t want to hang around with us old guys here. Go peddle your smarmy bull somewhere else kid since you know everything.
you need a diaper change and a nap
“In 2026 you’re all finally convinced democrats are fomenting revolution through violence only because your preferred media outlet says so?”
No, we are convinced because the Democrats and far left (but I repeat myself) tell us they are fomenting revolution through political violence. Antifa. Firey but mostly peaceful protests. The multiple statements by elected Democrats advocating violence.
We are listening to what they are saying. That’s how we know.
Our preferred media outlet said no such thing.
Democrats did. They have said out loud their plans to pack the SC, pass laws that would ensure Republican would never win an election again. They have said time and time again to get in peoples faces, to fight in the streets. They have no problem with assaulting anyone who might be a conservative.
It is not our fault they are the ones fomenting the violence.
Us old guys eh? At least we have had productive lives, contributed to society in meaningful ways. Unlike you, Gen Z, failure to launch, jobless, likely girlfriendless and a embarrassment to your parents.
Notable Americans of yore like Emily Dickinson also “failed to launch” in your parlance, but her words are immortal, while yours not so much.
When was there ever in the history of our nation that there were three attempted assassinations of a sitting US president?
“Obviously you old guys . . . like a bunch of old women exaggerate the world around you.”
A twofer: An ageist and a misogynistic rant. Well done!
-g
If we can’t unite against political violence, is there anything that will unite us? I really don’t want to unite with people who want my side dead.
You fail to understand that they want nothing to do with your kind also. The USA has been that way for centuries. So stalemate.
ANON has a personality disorder!!
I have good friends who are liberals, so that hasn’t changed. I doubt most average liberals even know their leaders are calling for violence. The left media doesn’t report it. If they aren’t on BlueSky, they won’t hear it.
Kristin Oren,
Well said. My sister is a liberal in the traditional sense, and she is very uninformed or misinformed as she only reads the WaPo. Unless something big like the most recent assassination attempt on President Trump and MSM cannot possibly ignore it, it is the only way she hears about it.
Yesterday, I pointed out some Democrat owned bar was lamenting they did not have a free beer day, as the owners of the bar have promised on the day President Trump dies they will give out free beer all day. Anyone think that is going to be covered by Democrat friendly MSM?
Right, very uninformed electorate. They have been manipulated to believe all news from sources on the right is false. Sadly, what they are hearing and reading is what is false.
Sorry, THAT is NOT in the commie playbook. It’s violence all the way to their glorious… whatever, I stopped listening to commies a long time ago. They seem to only want to murder and have a long history of it. I think it’s secretly a serial killer club or something. Commies are murder-happy. Bane of humanity. They can’t win at politics though which is nice, only violence gets them their way. 2nd Amendment is all that stands in their way. Stupid commies.
I would unite with them in armed conflict from a foreign country, I would just make sure they were always to my front and never to my rear.
Faux tough guys. the gop and maga are chicken hawk snowflakes. you are the least masculine bunch of doughy pasty honkeys EVER!!!!!!
I would tell you to do the Maff,but like you…Maff be racist bro!
Faux tough guy. did honky upset you? aww. Again pasty white chubby tough guys.
I do not support the idea of violence is justified. For that matter I have stated here on the good professor’s blog more than once that civil war should be avoided at all costs. Millions would die not within ear shot of a shot taken in anger.
There seems to be a nihilistic attitude that has gripped part of the nation, namely among younger people as evident with the recent NYT podcast, although there have been prior indications of the same. The fact people are, once again, lamenting the failure of the most recent assassination attempt, even some Democrat own bar that will give out free beer the day President Trump dies, only goes to show the moral degradation that has taken over this country.
I do not support the idea of violence is justified…. so what? Your opinion doesn’t count.
Nihilistic attitude? So one podcast has turned American youth into marauding killers? Seriously?
some Democrat own bar that will give out free … and you fell that that?
within ear shot of a shot taken … ear shot of a shot… seriously?
Where do you come up with such childish nonsense?
tankie
eiknat
ANON’S childish nonsense daily!
Wisconsin Dem’s bar laments ‘we almost got free beer day’ for Trump assassination
“Owner Kirk Bangstad, a former Democratic Assembly candidate, has long promised free beer when Trump dies”
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/wisconsin-dems-bar-laments-almost-got-free-beer-day-trump-assassination
Once again, you fell for my trap.
Really? Trump made fun of Mueller upon his death. He treated it exactly like most of the nation would treat Trump if he dies. He’s so toxic and unliked that while his death would be tragic it won’t get a lot of sympathy. Just like the executive that died by the hand of Luigi Mangione. It was wrong and it was murder, but….it wasn’t a surprise that many were not as sympathetic about it.
Most would not be sympathetic about ANON leaving us!!
“it wasn’t a surprise that many were not as sympathetic about it.”
Yes, because those unsympathetic people are inhuman. Made fun of? They should be condemned.
Mueller was in on the plan to overturn our duly-elected president so he was a traitor. What else you got?
Overturn? Trump lost in 2020 fair and square. He’s just a sore loser who can’t get over the simple fact that he lost.
Anon
If you were elected President and immediately persecuted in an investigation that you knew was a complete lie and fabrication, a conspiracy to subvert you from performing your duties to the citizens that elected you, I believe you would have great animosity and total disgust for the people that orchestrated this fraud not only against you but of the millions of Americans that voted for you. Mueller, Comey, Brennan, Obama, Clinton, Stzork, McCabe and all those that participated and orchestrated this are not patriots for our Republic. They are lying criminals and conspirators whose only purpose was to stay in power while they fattened themselves on the proceeds of our nartion. This country will never heal as long as they remain and not held accountable for the damage they have caused.
wasn’t a lie. he’s a crook
Not what the declassified documents reveal and not what the Mueller investigation revealed.
reading is hard, try again
“civil war should be avoided at all costs”
And if the cost is an outright Marxist dictatorship, that alternative is preferable to you?
I agree with Professor Turley. Violence is more acceptable. But the actual violence still seems to be from the left side of the political spectrum. Who controls the media (for the most part), who controls the primary and secondary teaching in this country (the Left), Who controls the vast majority of the colleges and faculties (the Left), When these assassins attempt to kill presidents, It used to be democrats who were targeted such as Truman and JFK, but since 1963 the attempts have been on Republicans like Reagan, Ford and 3 against Trump. The language used against George W Bush 2001-2009 was nearly as bad as we see against Trump. Interesting that there was little violence against Bush but it seemed to really take off after Obama. The Right controls few institutions in the US now but they are more and more the target. Is that not supposed to be the other way around? The only thing the right has now are votes. Which got us control of the Supreme Court, the Presidency, The House and Senate. Is that not democracy in action in our Republic Things like voter ID, decreased use of absentee ballots (possibly from absentee or non-existent voters) are seen as existential threats by the left. Why is that? Why is parity in votes so much of an existential threat to the left. The are for democracy are they not?
And now we have the SPLC putting money in right wing moronic hangers-on when they cannot find enough haters otherwise from the right . The SPLC is the corporatization of Jussie Smollet. How surprising. Sic.
Just watch Nora O’Donnel on 60 minutes and you can figure which side pushed the violence. Nice of Mr Trump to put the exclamation point to her “Interview”.
Barri Weiss still has some housecleaning to do.
The problem is the votes. Normal republicans and independents are pretty much quiet people that want to be left alone. They do not go out and shout to draw attention, they are not influencers. They live their lives and more and more get their information from alternative sites, like this one. Discussions that are for the most part civil. Then when the time comes, like the last election, the majority goes and votes. Not for the loud mouths, not for the people that want to pack the court, not for continued fraud, not for mindless child mutilation. This group overrides the states that votes in people like Bernie, Hakeem, Mamdani and others and this it what bothers them, they are not in control. So what is their only hope?
What they do not realize is, what used to be called “The Silent Majority”, that loves our country and wants it to succeed.
what is the most watched news program in the US? who owns CNN? violence is a right wing problem
Niall Ferguson just got the George F. Will Award, and Law & Liberty highlighted his line that civilization… is an operating system responsible for the rise of the West. He says the West’s strength came from six killer apps that were not just ideas but institutions and habits: competition, science, property rights, medicine, consumerism, and the work ethic.
If those are the apps, what we are watching now in the normalization of political violence is what it looks like when the operating system crashes, and the formation pipeline that once installed those habits is quietly replaced by one that trains citizens for permanent rage instead of self‑government.
https://lawliberty.org/reviving-civilization/
it is the 1850’s and Democrats HATE America
what about this…don’t you get?
1850 huh? Whew, you are long gone. Mindless creature.
Again, those woke left Dems supporting violent action by the public would be very well advised to examine the number of firearms in this nation, and who owns nearly all of them. I suspect they think that they can get virtual “brownie points” with their tribe by advocating such behavior with no real world cost to themselves. That is not possible – at some point such unified rhetoric leads to action, and action always brings consequences. If the unfortunate conduct that they support comes to pass, they are 100% guaranteed to be left holding the very bloody, pointed, short end of the (virtual) stick, and it may not be their hands gripping it.
I think what JT is describing here is not just anger, it is a hacked operating system. Every country runs on some kind of political operating system. Ours was written for self‑government. It is built on the idea that government is limited to securing life, liberty, and property, and that citizens are supposed to govern themselves under that framework.
When that system is running clean, people can argue hard without dehumanizing each other, lose elections without reaching for a brick or a gun, and reject violence as a political tool even when they are furious about outcomes.
Right now, it looks like the code has been rewritten. You can see the same pattern across social media, legacy media, politics, and education. We are being trained to see “the other side” as a threat, not a fellow citizen. You see the Overton window shift when a New York Times platform can flirt with “microlooting” as moral protest and when people feel comfortable publicly regretting that an assassination attempt on a president did not succeed. That is formation. It is installing a new operating system where force starts to feel like a reasonable way to deal with people who vote wrong.
Think about what people do when their computer throws the blue screen of death or they think they have been hacked. The first instinct is to turn it off, unplug, disconnect. We are watching millions of Americans do the same thing with civic life. They stop watching the news, stop talking about politics, and back away from the public square because they do not trust anything coming through the screen anymore. It is an understandable reaction, but a republic cannot run on airplane mode. If the only people who stay online are the ones spreading the malware, they get to finish rewriting the code.
So anyone who chooses to stay in public life has a decision to make. What operating system are we willing to live under. The old one, where we recognize each other as rights‑bearing citizens who settle disputes inside a constitutional framework. Or this hacked version, where one in seven Americans tells a pollster that political violence sounds at least “sometimes” justified, and elite voices find clever ways to excuse criminality as protest.
If we want the self‑government OS to survive, it is not enough to complain about the symptoms. We have to become our own virus scanners. That means learning to spot, name, and block the hacks in real time. When media or politicians normalize looting, intimidation, or assassination talk as “understandable,” that needs to be called what it is: a direct attack on the code of a free republic. If we cannot name it, we will not stop it. We will just keep installing it.
This thoughtful comment does raise the question: What if instead of “calling out” political-violence-ideation, our media ignored it as misanthropic showboating, and concentrated on covering earnest problem-solvers who possess the combination of authenticity, gravitas, civility and humor? This is the “holding a mirror up to society” operating system code for media, where it’s assumed that people will model the behaviors and norms put across in the public arena. Under this theory, we’re making a huge mistake to constantly seek out and publicize the worst behavior among us. We’re poisoning ourselves.
pbinca, You’re right to worry about giving free advertising to misanthropic showboating. When I said we need to “call it out,” I wasn’t arguing for amplifying every ugly outburst in the culture.
I’m talking about calling out the source of the hack, not just the splashy effects. The real problem is not one unhinged teacher or one late‑night bit. It is the decision makers who keep writing and distributing that code into the operating system: networks, platforms, studios, schools, and institutions that reward dehumanizing rhetoric and treat political‑violence talk as edgy content instead of a red line.
So yes, let’s stop chasing every viral tantrum. But when ABC keeps putting on content that trains people for tribal rage instead of self‑government, that is where I think naming the problem matters. They have a choice to program something that forms citizens or something that corrodes them. That is the level we cannot afford to ignore.
Misanthropic showboating? Aka, attention seeking whore.
ABC trains people for tribal rage, operating system dehumanizing rhetoric, viral tantrum … what f_ing nonsense.
ABC? How about Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, if we are gonna call out the media for enabling the violent rhetoric and highlighting it. Let’s make sure we don’t just emphasize only one side. Because we know both sides engage in it.
Nothing new nowadays. Its what media has always done and will continue do… screw with peoples minds. Look what Turley has done to these old farts, they’re frothing at the mouth about leftist violence, ignoring that Trump has unleashed an army to roundup and kill his opponents.
And what we do have is Margaret Brennen taking advantage of the tragedy to repeat the maniac’s words (as if they mattered) so she could get a rise out of him.
No shame, no journalism, just horrible people.
“ignoring that Trump has unleashed an army to roundup and kill his opponents.” OK, YOU have TDS. Give up your guns.
Anon: Do you have any examples to share of FOX news calling for or encouraging violence toward Democrats? If so, please offer.
Five second Google search. Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld said “elections don’t work” and instead endorsed civil war. “You need to make war to bring peace,” he told his “The Five” co-hosts, “because you have a side that cannot change.”
self‑government OS… seriously, now you’re playing word games with no meaning. Anything for attention eh.
OLLY,
I get what you are saying and admire your efforts, but the hackers are playing by different rules and there may come a time where despite our best efforts, we may be forced to make some really hard decisions to defend the self-governing OS. Just look at how every day the annonys come here to try to tear down PT and everyone else here who is pro-Constitution, pro-law and order, pro-America. I do not like it but by their words and actions as we have seen, they are truly committed to not just re-writing the OS, they want to tear it down.
I get what you’re saying, Upstate. But “the hackers play by different rules” is almost a tautology. If they played by the rules of self‑government, they wouldn’t be hackers, they’d be operating inside the system.
My point is not that we pretend they are playing fair. It is that if we want to fix this, we have to be able to identify the hack and call it what it is. You cannot repair an operating system you refuse to diagnose. This is formation, and it is a huge problem.
In my own house, I own firearms and I lock my doors. I am prepared for the worst. But I do not walk outside looking for a chance to use them. In the civic realm, the equivalent is staying within the constitutional system, naming the problem, and working to re‑form citizens for self‑government.
Like any 12‑step program, you never get to step twelve if you will not do step one, which is admitting and naming the problem in the first place.
lots of words for I’m not smart
Maximum warfare, all day, every day. Death to MAGA.
You have the same tactics as Iran yet they are also at the bottom like you guys. I guess you don’t get this country and America First! or you’re someone from a sh country without freedom.
MAGA has been in your TDS head for 10 years now, how’s that working out for you? The once mighty racist democrat party going straight to the trash heap of history.
Get ready for a glorious MAGA future for America, and the world, free from the socialists trying to bring us down!
While Professor Turley expresses valid concern over the Georgetown survey’s findings, his analysis omits the primary drivers of this institutional distrust. To suggest that “moral relativism” is a uniquely leftist phenomenon is to ignore years of documented rhetoric and actions from the right that have systematically dismantled faith in our democracy.
1. The Root of Democratic Distrust
The “drop in support for democracy” cited in the survey did not happen in a vacuum. It is the direct result of a multi-year campaign to delegitimize the electoral process. Multiple studies, including those from Cambridge University and Harvard, have found that elite rhetoric—specifically Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of “rigged” elections—directly erodes public confidence. When a leader repeatedly tells millions of citizens that the only way they can lose is through “massive fraud,” the resulting distrust is a predictable outcome, not a mystery.
2. Attacks on Media and Free Speech
Turley laments the low confidence in the press but ignores the role of the President in actively attacking the First Amendment. In just the last year, Donald Trump has repeatedly called for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to revoke the licenses of networks like ABC, CBS, and NBC simply for providing unfavorable coverage. Threatening the existence of news organizations that “call out his BS” is a far more tangible threat to our nation than a “baseball bat” prop used by a Congressman.
3. The Institutionalization of Violence
The Professor highlights “left-wing” support for violence but fails to mention the “moral relativism” required to rebrand the January 6th rioters as “hostages” or “patriots”. While he critiques “advocacy journalism,” he remains a paid contributor for Fox News, a network that recently settled for $787 million for promoting the very election lies that fueled the violence at the Capitol.
“While [JT] critiques ‘advocacy journalism,’ he remains a paid contributor for Fox News . . .”
Same shabby smear, every single day:
Play games with words, in order to falsely portray JT as a hypocrite.
“Advocacy journalism” is editorializing disguised as a *news* item. What JT publishes is called an editorial. Editorials by their nature are advocacy.
Smear? More like fair game criticism.
Turley is indeed a hypocrite and disingenuous columnist. He gets paid to write articles and columns supporting a biased narrative. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. It’s all free speech and exercise of his 1st amendment rights. But he’s still fair game and calling him out is part of the whole 1st amendment discourse.
No word games needed. It’s all there in plain view and open for criticism, ridicule, and rebuttal.
Everyone knows X is a liar. He is here on a mission. He is also not very good at it. Hi, X.
George, its an opinion not an analysis.
It’s an analysis and an opinion. It’s still fair game for criticizing it.
Luigi Mangione would be elected to Congress as a Democrat, or Mayor of New York City, if he was released. There is no doubt. That tells you all you need to know about today’s Democrat party, and how Democrats behave when they don’t get their way.
Come on, Turley talks about “moral relativism” on the left, but he doesn’t mention the “moral relativism” on the right. Many on the right call the January 6th rioters—who attacked police and broke into the Capitol—”hostages” or “patriots.” Rewriting the history of a violent attack on our government is a much bigger threat to democracy than a podcast.
He also says people don’t trust the media because it favors Democrats. But he leaves out how conservative media, like Fox News, has spent years telling people the “other side” is their enemy. When they have to pay nearly $800 million for spreading lies about an election, that destroys trust just as much as any “bias” in the New York Times. When Trump calls the media “the enemy of the people” and Turley remains silent it shows he’s also a big part of the problem.
He mentions teachers losing their jobs for bad comments, he omits how right-wing rhetoric has led to a “surge in threats” against judges, election workers, and even their families. The right has always blown up with violent rhetoric whenever a judge or politician doesn’t align with their views. Who can forget the heated talk of a civil war or “divorce from the federal government” when Obama was president. Turley remained silent.
You can’t solve a “crisis of faith” by only pointing at one half of the country. By ignoring the rage and violent language coming from the right, Professor Turley isn’t defending the Republic—he’s just picking a side in the fight.
On and speaking of Jeffries using a bat, if a baseball bat is a “prop for rage,” then what do we call the campaign ads where Republican candidates use AR-15 rifles to talk about “hunting” their political enemies? Or Donald Trump’s social media posts warned of a “bloodweight” or “bedlam” if he loses? Turley ignores these much more direct threats of violence.
We know the right is much more violent and prone to emotional outrage. So much that they are often willing to re-write history to avoid the reality that they are indeed a violent bunch.
George you’re a attention seeking whore just like Olly. Both of you peddle BS drenched in lies.
We know that George X is much more insane and prone to emotional outrage. So much that he is often willing to re-write (i.e., lie) history to avoid the reality that he is indeed a mentally unstable person.

The division sown by the [crown] is no where near the level ‘any’ of the fake polls show. You see fake polls are like ‘fake’ elections, they both give you bull manure in manifold amounts. MORE and MORE Americans are getting behind MAGAA1st than ever before. We the People are getting exactly what we voted for, WE await the mass deportations, prosecutions/punishments of the treason done to our country in 2016 & 2020, WE await the abolishment of the [fed], WE await the end of the [irs] & WE demand the end of the [crown]’s power over our ‘fake’ installed politicians/banks….
MAGAA1st knows, 45-47n28 knows, his cabinet knows {both dims and rips}, true red, white and blue American Patriots know. The [crown] is being dismantled before our eyes and easy to see if you have eyes and easy to hear if you have ears. The one thing the [crown] can NOT beat is the 1A BACKED by 2A in America. Keep pushing MAGAA1st, PRAY FOR PQTUS {remember Lincoln, McKinley, JFK, RFK, MLK, Ronnie & Charlie were all ‘doers’ AND all believed in abolishing the ‘fed’, which is another 3-letter word for the [crown].

So far, the violence has been attempted by some rather stupid perpetrators. The latest had the deep planning of rushing through a magnetometer into a wall of fully armed Secret Service agents. This Cal Tech engineer was unemployed aside from a little tutoring. This is the case-in-point. Those millennials and younger see violence as bystanders, allowing them to play video games by day and do a little protesting on weekends. And cheer on the assassination perps. Job? Like what’s a job?
Believe me, if this country transitions to serious violence, it will be horrific. Please don’t wish for it. You can not create a tornado and predict what will happen.
Inapt metaphors seem to be the SOP here nowadays.

There is a Book written by the men that fought and survived the battles of the Civil War. It gives first hand accounts of the battles. It has an introductory script that is titled the Volcano, where it describes the political and social lead up to the war. The title of the book is Field, Fleet and Fort. The introductory chapter describes how the social ills were first minor, where people spoke amongst themselves. It describes the events as nothing more than a mole hill, over time this mole hill became a hill with men forcibly arguing over the course and physical violence soon arriving. Soon this festering sore became a mountain where it cast its shadow over an entire nation, where men soon carried their pistols even to their houses of worship. Until finally the mountain exploded into a fire, casting fire and destruction over the entirety of our nation. The final sentence in this simply says, how foolish it was for man to kick a mountain from a molehill…
History repeats itself, especially when you try to erase it.
By that analysis, we seem to now be at stage 3 of 4.
I Don. We are stage 4, but only one side is shooting so far. Tote. Get several if you don’t have any. Learning proper technique and maintenance. Happy hunting. IT WILL be.a target rich environment.
gdonaldallen,
Agreed and well said.
The jobless, failure to launch, lack of communication skills, failure to integrate into real world work place culture are just some of the things driving this nihilistic attitude among Gen Z. I think that is why we are seeing them become radicalized, easily susceptible to the rage rhetoric we are seeing in MSM.
That the USA is approaching its final decades; expect much more political violence from the right. The SPLC was always right. The end game is a Marxist dictator.
Said another way. . . .I surmise our country is approaching its final decades and political violence from the “left” will continue. . . .”age of rage”. Recent revelations about the SPLC funding are part of the end game, and they all believe they can obtain a Marxist dictatorship.
We don’t have a “democracy” here in the United States. We have a “constitutional republic” and for good reasons. I do not and would not support “democracy” as tge preferable form of government. Democracy is the “tyranny of the majority”.
Democracy is the underpinning of the constitutional republic. The public votes for federal, state and local representatives.
But w’re NOT a true “democracy” whereby a simple majority of those voting wins. We have the electoral college, the filibuster in the Senate, representation by Congress (instead of a direct vote), etc. The question on the survey is ill-formed…
Concerned that the electoral college is a target by the left. Its the republic’s final safeguard. When its gone, expect the worst.
“But w’re NOT a true “democracy” whereby a simple majority of those voting wins.”
The distance from “true democracy” has actually been dramatically decreased, both by Amendments, and by outright deliberately ignoring its edicts, since the vision of the Founders was implemented in the Constitution.
you’re a fool. so what? were a constitutional republic… I’m so smart.
California is a true democracy, as far as I can tell. Anyone like Uber or Howard Jarvis can write their own law if it wins a majority. And any law can likewise be repealed.
I wonder whether that initiative capability contradicts the U. S. Constitution which requires a republican form of government.
Death to MAGA!
It is not too late for you to find our lord and savior, Jesus Christ!
And you serve Satan.
It’s odd that you can reject a belief in goodness yet believe in its polar opposite….
Satan is goodness. Good to know. You are Satan’s pawn. You personify evil.
Care to elaborate further?
You again? I recommend going for a long walk in the park without talking to anyone.
So that’s what you do when you …?
Parents! keep your unruly children away from this blog!
The America first idea has been here since the creation of our nation. It will still be here long after you and I are gone.
