Why Are So Many Leftists Such Trash?

Have you ever “taken to the streets” over any issue? Marched in a protest? Chanted whatever some weirdo ordered you to repeat? Maybe, but probably not. The only protests or marches I’ve ever attended were one against war a friend wanted to go to and he didn’t want to drive to DC alone (plus, I’d never been to DC at that point), one I got extra credit for in college involving newspaper strike, and one that was an annual even to “protest” pot laws because we went to meet chicks and get stoned in a crowd – mostly the novelty of it (which is now common).

In other words, I don’t protest; I’d rather “do.” Protesting is stupid and a waste of time. Nothing has ever happened because a group of morons chanted and drum circled.

But marching, chanting and screaming at anyone who isn’t them is pretty much all Democrats do. Well, that and lie.

How many people’s minds have been changed by blocking traffic? Zero. How many political victories have been racked up by screaming at police? Zero. How many votes have been switched by smashing windows and looting? Zero.

Yet, Democrats do all of these things – not only regularly, but as a default position. The call goes out, the signs are printed (who paid for those?) and the drone army shows up. Many of them have no idea what they’re there to protest or how to pronounce the name of the person they’re instructed to declare having been the subject or perpetrator of the “injustice” that brought them there.

It's often the generic police or white people, a lot of times it’s Jews. It is never, ever the murder of a police officer, a white person or a Jew, no matter how horrific and unjust the circumstance of their deaths were. Not one Democrat marched for justice for Laken Riley or Iryna Zarutska because they were white and the people who murdered them were non-white, or “people of color,” as they like to proclaim like it matters.

Well, it does matter to Democrats. “Justice,” according to them, is more about skin color than actions and consequences for it. It’s about what happened centuries ago and how that somehow impacts today.

But it’s really only about some – a very small part – of what happened hundreds of years ago and only to certain people. Slavery was horrible, but it was not unique to black people. It was perpetrated by black people as much as it was ever by white people. The whole slave trade in Africa was invented and run by black people, and every configuration of human beings were both victims and perps over history.

But facts don’t matter to the left, only power does. As these mutants get more and more desperate – and by mutant I mean both the street-level Brownshirt and the suit wearing elected Brownshirts – the rhetoric is heating up even more.

Have you ever noticed how Democrats profess to fear “right-wing violence,” but don’t ever seem to let it change anything about how they live their lives? No one shows up at their houses, they aren’t chased out of restaurants or public spaces – they’re either hermits or they know they’re safe.

They are safe because political violence is the domain of the left; it is progressive currency.

Conservatives are the one who will have their families attacked, their neighborhoods invaded, their lives threatened and taken. To the extent that Democrats live in fear it is of the prospect of their militants deeming them insufficiently pure of thought and action and turning on them. That’s about the only threats they face.

Which is why they are ramping up their attacks and lies again now. And many people are taking them up on the offer.

There is a new trend of Democrat activists explicitly calling for the killing of ICE agents and civil war. These people are at the second to last step in the process of political violence – calling on someone, or some group of people, to do something. They don’t really do it themselves, they want someone else to be the martyr or the prisoner (or both).

But soon, sadly, Democrats will reach the final step: more and more people taking them up on the offer.

Have you noticed how not one single Democrat has called for calm or could even admit that the officer who Good hit with the car was actually hit by the car? The evidence is literally there for all to see, but it’s amazing how blind people can be when the truth does them no favors.

If the Democrat Party is devoid of decent people, or even just adults willing to tell the mob to calm down, if they are completely marinated all the way through progressive trash, well, there will be blood and it will be all over their hands. Actually, I should say “more blood,” but considering their hands now, how would anyone even be able to tell?
