Democrats: The party of violence

American Thinker 

It’s the ugly truth that few people are willing to say out loud: The Democrats are a political party that utilizes and supports violence to achieve its objectives. It has become a mainstay for Democrats, a tool they wield when things don’t go their own way. The media plays along with their political counterparts, often downplaying the violence or refusing to cover it in a balanced manner.

The most visible was during the “Summer of Love” and the George Floyd riots. Even then, the media played an active role, calling the looting and rioting “mostly peaceful.” There was no statement calling for peace. Instead, we saw senators kneeling, sending a message that the riots were permissible. Their reason was simple: they knew the riots would hurt Trump’s reelection chances.

Republicans can get violent too, but not on the scale of the left. Democrats always point to the “insurrection” on January 6th. In reality, only one person was killed at that protest (and it was a protest, not an insurrection), and that was Ashli Babbitt, one of the protesters. To make it sound more violent than it was, the left threw in officers who committed suicide or had strokes days or even weeks after the protest.

Since announcing he was running for President a second time, Trump has endured three assassination attempts. Twenty-one individuals (so far) have been charged with making threats to kill him. Joe Biden, by comparison, had fifteen threats with no assassination attempts, but those were spread out over four years. Trump is only halfway through his second term and has eclipsed Biden’s number.

What is most telling is the silence from Democrats about these threats and assassination attempts. Instead, they’ve turned to their old tactic of blaming the victim, rather than the attackers.

How many times have we heard “It’s Trump’s dangerous rhetoric that caused this”? Rather than tone down their own language and maybe not encourage other attempts, they blame the target of the assassination attempts. There’s no difference between this and someone saying a rape victim deserved to be attacked because she wore provocative clothing.

When Elon Musk became the heartbeat of DOGE, the left organized nationally to attack Tesla dealerships and people’s cars. It went past vandalism and into arson in several cases. Did the Democrat leadership condemn the acts? No. By not saying these crimes were bad, they were, essentially, encouraging more of it.

Then came the ICE protests. The president was fulfilling his duties to uphold the laws of the land and deport illegals, with an emphasis on those who committed violent crimes. Make no mistake, if he didn’t do this, conservatives would have tried to impeach him.

The Democrats responded immediately. Federal agents were threatened, their families doxxed, and they themselves were assaulted, and the Democrats supported the protests. When two people were killed because of their actions in the protests, the Democrats tried to martyr them.

As more layers of the swamp are exposed during its draining, we are seeing that left-leaning institutions such as the Southern Poverty Law Center were being used to fund racist events to raise money to fight racism. The Democrats had a machine that literally generated the hate, then encouraged people to commit violence against the hate they had spun up. If written as a novel, it would be almost impossible to sell; the idea is so far-fetched, but it’s real.

The left’s embrace of the Democratic Socialist wing is going to bring about more violence if they are successful. This faction, which is part of the Democrat party, wants to end capitalism, abolish Congress, and open prisons and borders.

Over half the country sees this platform as a path to chaos and the country's downfall. There is only one way that the Democratic Socialists have ever attempted to implement such a radical turn: through violence. Mao, Stalin, Castro, Maduro... The list is not impressive; it’s frightening.

The Democrats and their legacy media supporters already have blood on their hands, and it doesn’t seem to bother them. That’s a problem they, and the rest of the nation, will have to come to terms with over the next two years of the Trump presidency. It can and will escalate when it fits their needs. As a party, they need a reset, a reboot, back to when violence wasn’t the solution.
