Read this article this morning. I have not read the author's book, but this article makes some sense of the violence we have seen.
I am sad but afraid it may be true. Maybe someone can comment on his book.

I've not read his book, but I will.

His article is spot on regarding leftists and their hate bleeding over into violence against any that disagree with their twisted politics/religion.

I can say without a doubt that I have never seen such raw hate from the left. They preach "tolerance" but they mean tolerance only for those that think like them. I have a son in law that actually had to go to the ER after the election because he was so traumatized. If you say anything about Republicans (and especially Trump) he practically starts foaming at the mouth and spewing all kinds of hate and garbage.

doncb,

Did your SIL suffer from a severe case of "snowflake-itis"?

If so, there's a lot of that going around.

Tell him to take deep, cleansing breaths and recognize his side lost the election, but the world will keep spinning.

He needs to recognize just because the Fascist/Leftists lost, they can still regain power in the future if they exercise their right to vote, but not loot and vandalize.

Therein lies the problem, they believe we are the fascists.

The left, were lied to so often that they don't know which way to turn. The Republicans, put together a group of candidates that represented a vast cross section of America, Hispanic, African American, male and female. The left only offered two whiter than white candidates, one an avowed Socialist, and the other a criminal.

The left was told that Donald Trump was a clown, bigot, homophobe, xenophobe, racist, sexist, and any other name they could throw out to distract from the failing polices of the last eight years, and that their next president would be the savior, Shrillery. No matter how crooked the DNC, the MSM, and her campaign managers were, they fully bought in. The polls all told them it was in the bag, and that they could just relax and enjoy the ride over the cliff with the rest of the country. They never saw the warning signs that were glaringly obvious to to free thinkers.

What gets me now, is that they are still stuck in their echo chambers. They can't see that their tactics, are exactly what put Trump in office. People got tired of seeing BLM riots, being told that their little girls would have to share restrooms with men in dresses, that abortion should be publicly financed, that rising health care costs were just a way of life, religious freedom was only for selected religions the left deemed worthy. Being told that if they were not black, Hispanic, Muslim, trans gendered, or any other part of the downtrodden, then their thoughts and voices don't matter. After eight years of being ignored, and ostracized, the free thinkers took back their country.

The name calling, protesting, denigrating, etc. didn't work before the election, but the left obviously think they didn't do it enough before, so they are doubling down. They are their own worst enemy. JMHO

Those who are organizing violence on behalf of the left are not doing so out of hate. Instead it is done out of expediency. Violence is a tool of the socialist/marxist/fascist leaning folks because the public generally will embrace fascism in order to end violence, for a limited amount of time. This alone is a driving factor in the push for gun control because the general population will more often than not end the violence before embracing fascism. Fascism itself is often seen as a necessary step in organising a socialist or communist regime.

The left is moving closer and closer to their version of Kristallnacht. They will learn the hard way that good people will fight back this time.

I have engaged in several "discussion" with leftists on FB and other social media. I try very had not to call names. But inevitably within two posts, they start calling me names.

They also invariably accuse me of not reading widely. Then I find out they read nothing but the mainstream media and leftist sites whereas while I primarily read sites on the right side of the spectrum, I also periodically read articles from the NY Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post and Politico among other leftist sites.

They also discuss in slogans not reasoned arguments.

And they seem to becoming more violent in their rhetoric.

I am in Portland, Oregon today. Had meeting downtown. Actually saw a young " twenty something" come off the elevator wearing a "pink pu$$y" knit stocking cap. Took all of my self control not to say something, or to pluck it off her head as a souvenir. Engaging in a debate was just beyond my ability to conceive...

Thank you for resisting the urge to commit political violence.
