Across the political left, from orthodox Democrats to Antifa in the streets, the opposition to President Donald Trump has lost its collective mind.
The House minority leader and now self-styled tough guy, New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, poses with a baseball bat to show how dangerous he is in opposing Trump’s budget bill.
Jeffries harangued Congress for eight hours; New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker went on for 25 — both to no effect.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit the rally trail in private jets to rail about oligarchs, omitting that the ultra-rich are not only mostly leftists but also the funders of the Democratic Party.
Sometimes the Democrats in Congress make bizarre videos, featuring profanity like f**k or s**t. On other occasions, they scream and interrupt Congress.
Some representatives now confess that they’re being pressured by their constituents to take a bullet for the cause.
The racialist Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett — sometimes playing the prep-school prima donna, sometimes modulating her accent to pass as the authentic inner-city activist — gains headlines for monotonously ranting about old white men.
On left-wing social media, the assassin Luigi Mangione remains a heartthrob for murdering a health-care executive, replacing the Tsarnaev brothers as the hot new left-wing killer.
He, too, might soon end up with a cover photo on Rolling Stone.
The left-wing internet mob grotesquely claims that children lost to the recent flash flood in Texas deserved their fate.
They even advance three sick reasons for their ghoulishness. Texas Christians supported the MAGA agenda and thus met a just fate. Or, as red-state Texans, they were deservedly collateral damage to DOGE’s bureaucratic reductions. Or, as climate denialists would say, the flash flood took righteous revenge on children for their supposed ignorance.
Add it all up, and there is a sizable leftist “base” that is completely amoral.
Then there are the college campuses, where left-wing antisemitism, pro-Hamas terrorism, and DEI-fueled racism risk costing elite universities their multibillion-dollar subsidies which fund the indoctrination of young leftists.
In panic, cash-strapped universities can no longer hide that they were gouging the federal government with outrageous surcharges on grants. They were systematically defying the Supreme Court by their race-based admissions and hiring. They institutionalized segregationist dorms, segregated graduations, and antisemitism.
Finally, there is the so-called “left-wing Resistance” and the street mobs’ descent into violence and terrorism.
Sometimes, thugs ambush ICE agents.
Sometimes, they firebomb Tesla dealerships.
Sometimes, they attack federal buildings, shut down freeways, and pelt patrol cars with concrete.
They continue with impunity because they know the Democratic Party cannot and will not censure them.
As in the months-long rioting of 2020, leftist politicos assume their street bandits will cause so much mayhem, violence, and chaos that Trump will either be forced to call out the troops (and thus “prove” he’s Hitler) or be too scared to — only to be blamed for the unrest, which could cost him the midterms.
But who or what drives the insane rages of these various armies of the left?
One is an obviously bleeding Democratic Party. Despite gushing about its new DEI, illegal alien, trans, and Middle Eastern constituents, it has no political power. Its issues are mostly 30-70 losers.
It has little power in the House or Senate beyond fake-filibusters, performative outrage, or profanity-laced rants.
It lost the White House. The Supreme Court eventually nullified the illegality of left-wing district judges.
It does not trust the people, so plebiscites and ballot measures are mostly out.
Two, unlike his first term, Trump is addressing the causes, not just the symptoms, of the progressive project, whether on the border, crime, cultural issues, or foreign policy.
This time around, there are no John Boltons, no Rex Tillersons, no Alexander Vindmans, and no Anonymouses from the inside to thwart the Trump agenda.
The administration is loyalist and committed to addressing the root causes of the left-wing influence, not just its manifestations.
So, Trump has focused on leftist sacred cows like NPR, PBS, the elite campuses, USAID, and the administrative state — all the inculcators and laboratories of leftist ideology.
Finally, the left is outraged that so far, the Trump counterrevolution is working.
The economy is solid. The border is closed. Military recruitment has radically recovered.
The budget bill has passed. The Iranian nuclear threat has lessened. NATO is strengthening. The Middle East has a chance for calm.
Tariffs did not cause inflation. Deportations created more, not fewer, American jobs. Biological men will likely no longer be winning women’s athletic contests.
Add it all up, and the impotent left in all its orthodox and street manifestations has become unhinged.
And why not when it rightly fears that not just its power, but the very sources of its power, are in mortal danger?
Prof. Hanson writes: “Add it all up, and there is a sizable leftist “base” that is completely amoral.” I think a more appropriate sentence would be: “Add it all up, and there is a sizable leftist “base” that is completely evil.”
Their actions and intentions are profoundly immoral and harmful. That fits the definition of “evil.” You do not negotiate with these terrorists and seditionists. They want you/us dead and the American Republic destroyed. They have made common cause with our most dangerous adversaries. For self preservation and for the future of our children, they must be isolated and removed from any positions of influence that they occupy, public or private. They must also be held to account for their actions, just as the Nazi leaders and their party goons were held to account (to a significant degree) after the end of WWII and their party permanently banned.
Perhaps they were banned in Germany in 1945. But many moved here, had kids and many became Demoncrats. Those kids have been waiting for the “bat signal” to come out of their hiding places at the colleges, universities and the Demoncrat Party.
The two biggest “bat signals” signaled the advent of Trump and MAGA.
Bat signals. That’s a good one 🙂
Lefties are definitely on the outs for now. And they deserve it because they’r scum.
They want total control of our lives Cradle to Grave that’s why the UN(Useless Nations)was founded in the first place you wont find any Doves, Hawks or Eagles at the UN just way too many Vultures
Lefties have always been the bane of the US well-being since, at least, 1919 when they received their marching orders to destroy our country from within by the commies of Comintern — the Third International.
Ole Joe McCarthy discovered their efforts to please “Uncle” Joe Stalin in the 1940s and early 1950s, but was destroyed for his diligence.
Comintern may be gone, as well as the Soviets and Stalin, but the left’s determination to destroy our country has not abated a bit. The Democrat Party has now allied with this effort.
Senator McCarthy was right about those Commie Scum
To Sebastian:
Since you aren’t awake yet…..
I’ll take your stupid post from two days ago point by point
“You don’t need to refute what I stated because you can’t refute facts.”
I don’t need to refute your “facts” because you couldn’t find a fact with two hands and a flashlight
“And your citations back up what I’ve said. That innocent Palestinians are being killed per the IDF. ”
I didn’t say the IDF was using anyone for target practice. One of the sources was a UN article. Not exactly a reliable source……they always lie about the Turdistinians. I don’t need to back you up. You have delusions of grandeur.
“Poor innocent Palestinians trying to get aid while the IDF uses them as target practice.”
Oh the “Poor innocent Palestinians”. Cry me a f*cking river. There are no innocent turdistinians
“You engage in homosexual activity! ”
Prove it, shit for brains. You are very close to defamation. Remember Trump sued Stephanopulos and ABC was forced to pay millions.
“And you have the gall to think you’re a Christian?”
I thought you didn’t like my church. We still have female pastors. And you are a JewHater and a Muslim. Cry some more.
“By your own admission you have no clue about Zionists.” You think a stupid comment like that makes you smart”
I didn’t say I have no clue about Zionists. I said I don’t know any. As always you are a liar. But that’s your stock in trade. Taquiyya. I do know that Netanyahu is a Zionist as was Golda Meir.
Ya see doucheface, in this country, unless you are a leftist, we generally use real facts to back up our arguments. Otherwise you can be sued for defamation. Eventually you will be sued. Or deported.
Bob Dylan realized You Got To Serve Somebody when he became Born From Above – and then took his son to Israel for his Bar Mitzva – I completely agree with the what Dylan was saying as an American born 100% Hebrew DNA male – who is also Born From Above – (some say born again) – the more these people listen to the satanic provocateurs of destruction of USA they become satanic possessed themselves – indeed the lunatic fringe has become unhinged – they are a danger to USA security and the personal security of all of us!
The real roots of Leftism is the Oedipus Complex.
The movement seems to be dominated by misfit children who hate their rich fathers.
We are in the second American Civil War because the Marxist/statist/globalist Left has decided cramming millions of illegals who hate America INTO America is their hill to die on. Once again, the Democrat Party is leading the second Confederacy with “sanctuary” cities and states that defy federal law.
The left are pagans, with a bent moral code that elevates their perception of nature and the just use of government power to serve a faith that rejects Judeo-Christian values and individualism. That the left is steered by oligarchs and tyrants who profit from their followers is beyond the ken of the faithful. And their working partnership with the votaries of the fictional Mohammed and his imaginary god serves both teams, despite their conflicting aims.
I strongly DISAGREE with VDH’s concluding statement….And why not when it rightly fears that not just its power, but the very sources of its power, are in mortal danger?…As an ignorant historian, he doesn’t acknowledge the common verbal behavior – Disembodied Language (DL) – which keeps escalating.. As long as DL hasn’t been addressed and stopped, our usual way of talking, in which we, as speakers, don’t listen to ourselves, will continue to fuel the next war, conflict, uprising, protests, argument, divorce, abuse or trauma. Moreover, as long as there is no awareness about the great difference between DL and Embodied Language (EL), in which we, as speakers listen to ourselves, Left-wing fanatics, but also law-and-order, closed-border preferring, Constitution-loving Right-wing people. inadvertently, continue DL, which has remained unaddressed, as it can only be properly addressed with EL….Here’s a piece of my exchange with Grok3 from xAI…. “When Benjamin Franklin was asked after signing the Constitution if they had created a monarchy or a republic, Franklin replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.”…This is more than ever relevant today, with the Left’s unsustainable insistence on so-called democracy, sanctuary cities, activist’ judges, boys pretending to be girls, competing in what used to be women’s sports, calling illegals immigrants and allowing Antisemitism, Wokism and Anti-Americanism and Anarchism, to run rampant on universities and colleges.” Please, read my work on x-account @Pep18498Maximus
