Democrats excel at several tactics, among them: cheating in elections and projection. One can be certain that whatever Democrats are accusing Normal Americans of doing or intending to do, they\u2019re already doing or are planning to do. A particularly common bit of Democrat projection these days is the assertion that political violence is a Republican tactic. Mostly peaceful but fiery Democrats are merely helpless bystanders and victims.<\/p>

Graphic: Social Media Post<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen plentiful evidence of this sort of projection in the Minneapolis anti-ICE protests, and most recently in the New Jersey anti-ICE protests. We\u2019ve seen it in the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the three attempted assassinations\u2014there have likely been more of which we\u2019re not aware\u2014of President Trump. We saw it in the disruption of worship services in St. Paul. We see it in the lunatic rhetoric of Democrat \u201cit\u201d boy, Hasan Piker, justifying all manner of violence, including the murder of insurance CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione (allegedly). Piker justifies that murder, as well as shoplifting and looting, by claiming \u201csocial murder.\u201d Anyone doing anything Democrats don\u2019t like, such as making legal profits, may be justifiably killed, and become an object of female Democrat lust.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Normal Americans\u2014largely but not exclusively Republican\u2014go about their lives. They don\u2019t have the time or inclination for protests, and they know very well that breaking the law for any reason will surely put them in prison. They adhere to Christian morality, so they\u2019re not going to engage in political, or any other kind of violence.<\/p>\n

At PJ Media, Aaron Hanscom reports Franklin Carmargo of Prager U interviewed denizens of Los Angeles about political violence. The results are as unsurprising as they are disturbing:<\/p>\n

\n

The college students he interviewed sounded like so many Western officials do after an Islamist terrorist attack, when they dismiss the ideology and blame it on mental illness. One young man said: \u201cIt\u2019s like they\u2019re just crazy people, and that\u2019s the thing that unites these people who try to kill people. It\u2019s not left or right. It\u2019s just crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another student said that he\u2019s currently seeing more violence on the right. When asked by Camargo to name some examples, however, he fell silent. A young woman, after hearing the list of recent incidents attributed to leftist political violence, was asked whether she could identify comparable examples from the right. She at least managed an answer: \u201cNot really.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This interview was particularly chilling:<\/p>\n

\n

Camargo then moved to a pro-communism rally in downtown Los Angeles. He first interviewed a man of senior citizen age and wearing a Che Guevara shirt. When asked by Camargo if there\u2019s too much political violence, he chillingly answered: \u201cPerhaps not enough.\u201d<\/p>

Read more \u2018Good omens\u2019 is bad theology and worse morality<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A Che T-shirt. Must have been one of those violent Republicans.<\/p>\n

\n

Camargo then mentioned his shirt and asked if he knows Che was a murderer. His answer sounded like something Luis Mangione groupies might say when justifying the assassination of Brian Thompson: \u201cNo, Che Guevara was a revolutionary who attacked the forces of the ruling classes.\u201d He proceeded to claim that Guevara \u201cdid not execute a lot of people.\u201d The truth, as told by Mary Grabar in a\u00a02011 PJ Media article, is quite different: “Che\u2019s delight was in shooting 240 defenseless victims, some as young as 15. Political prisoners say the real number is much higher. Che also delighted in having people and their children rounded up off the street and forced to watch executions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Projection. This is classic:<\/p>\n

\n

As would the next man interviewed by Camargo \u2014 also of senior citizen age \u2014 who wore a box on his head marked with pro-Palestine, pro-Cuba, and pro-Maduro messages. He offered his opinion on political violence: \u201cI don’t think it’s coming from the left. I think it is something embedded in the society at the right.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But this must have been cherry-picked editing, right? Not so much. This was downtown Los Angeles. OK, one is likely to find a preponderance of this kind of non-thinking in LA, and in much of California, but the point is one need not work very hard to find this kind of projection and communist\/anarchist thinking in any Blue state, and certainly in portions of Red states.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no justification for violence, not unless in lawful self-defense. Republican men, reviled by Democrats as toxic, know one of the essentials of manhood is the ability to use violence when necessary while always keeping it otherwise under tight control. Political violence is particularly unjustified because it violates the social contract and strikes at the rule of law. It pushes us ever closer to civil war and the dissolution of Western Civilization. Who, trying to raise a family and pay their mortgage, wants that?<\/p>\n

People wearing Che t-shirts and boxes on their heads, apparently.<\/p>\n
