There is political violence by both the
left and right in this country. Both
sides often have some armed men in military gear appearing. However, this seems to be much more frequent
among right-wing groups such as Texas Freedom Force.
… “speculation
is rife not just regarding whether the president will be impeached but what
would happen in an increasingly divided United States if he were removed from
office.
Trump’s longtime friend and former adviser
Roger Stone, who is embroiled in investigations into whether Russia colluded
with the Trump campaign, said last month that
impeaching the president would lead to a “spasm of violence in this country, an
insurrection, like you’ve never seen.”
[If Trump is out, who will pardon Stone?]. A few days later, televangelist Jim Bakker
went a step further, saying outright that there
would be “civil war in the United States of America.” [You remember Jim Bakker, convicted of
multiple felonies, ex-federal prison preacher.
He now has another television evangelism show. His delusional cult-of personality fan base
can’t let go. Go figure].
Given the violence that's sprung up between
supporters and opponents of Trump during his campaign and since he entered
office, such talk, while hyperbolic, does not seem entirely baseless.”
Libertarians and others who value America’s
peaceful democracy need to speak out against these speakers. Does the frequent
appearance of armed right-wingers in public suggest they are trying to intimidate
opponents and send a quiet message that ‘if you mess with Trump there will be
violence”? Do they need these weapons
and military dress and gear to defend themselves in public places? I have yet
to hear of a right-wing protestor killed or even seriously injured.
So far, all the violence has come from the left, from Antifa, the various black groups like the New Black Panthers and the Black Lives Matter haters. They are the ones who have threatened violence or who have initiated violence.
ReplyDeleteYou'll note that in the videos from Charlottesville that the few KKK people were in new clothing and that the flags still had creases in them. IOW, bought for the occasion as part of the ever-present false-flag efforts.
The "not really all that Right" has yet to incite violence.
The Deep State and the mainstream media are working as hard as they can to get rid of Trump or to render him impotent. The DS oligarchs have already turned him away from the most important part of his campaign rhetoric of "Make deals, not war."
The violence is coming from the Left, in the same manner as the Nazi Brownshirts or Mao's Red Guard. Get rid of the fascistic Antifa and see a return of peaceful speech instead of their demonstrated hatred of the First Amendment.

Yes, there is violence from all
DeleteSides. The only fatality was an unarmed leftist protester murdered by a neoNazi. Any rightists murdered? Stop blaming the media. Check the facts. There are a lot more established
Right wing stable hate groups on the right than the left.

IMHO, the unhinged violence exhibited by left and right hate groups does not reflect mainstream America. That said, DC's centralized progressive swamp ideologues and their MSM hacks pretend to speak for working Americans. Originalist conservatives, like myself, are caught in the middle. It's a paradox.
