Progressive Deformation

Politico wasted no time this morning in attempting to redirect the conversation on political violence and shift the blame onto Trump and what they label as far right extremism. Of course they did. Ironic that as the Conservative Party in power celebrates our military with a patriotic parade and fireworks display in our capital, the democrat base takes to the streets in our cities with yet another destructive wave of anti-American protests in support of radical progressive immigration policies. But don’t believe your eyes says Politico, it’s Trump’s fault. Violent protests organized by extreme left organizations and fanned by partisan media bias, erupted across the country this weekend but were pushed onto page two by the assassination of Minnesota democrat representatives who dared to cross the aisle in support of Republican legislation to deny illegal immigrants access to benefits reserved for American citizens. That’s right. It appears that the hit man, disguised as a police officer had “No Kings” flyers in his vehicle with a political hit list and a manifesto that, if we follow recent history, will never see the light of day because he is a radical leftist. Had he been a conservative, that manifesto would have been published immediately to fuel the narrative that radical right wing extremists are at work. Rep Jared Huffman (D-CA) issued the following statement: “You go online and you just see all of the vile and hate and vitriol that is pulsing through mostly right-wing politics and platforms, but there’s some of it on the left too.”  Really, Jared? Shall we launch into another diatribe on the evils of right-wing talk radio, perhaps? Tired old talking points. If you want to find misinformation and vitriol, you needn’t dive any deeper than late-night talk shows or the comments after a Huffington Post article. We are barraged with mainstream media sources that are blatantly partisan in support of far-right extremism. You can’t get any more extreme than racking up a Pulitzer Prize for propaganda that contributed to a taxpayer-funded $32M Mueller investigation to impeach a sitting president for “Russian collusion” based on a fabricated dossier funded by his political opponents. That brought to you by that beacon of truth and independent journalism: none other than the New York Times. But the misinformation campaign continues unabated. Harvard political science professor Steve Levitsky, possessing a title that immediately qualifies him as a progressive, quoted the same Politico article as saying: “You condone the January 6 insurrection. You pardon them all, or virtually all of them, including those that physically assaulted police officers, and you treat them as heroes. You’ve created an atmosphere that’s not just permissive of political violence, it encourages political violence.” So it’s Trump's fault that LA protesters this past week were assaulting police officers on a scale that makes January 6 look like a love fest?  Steve, not only are you a hypocrite, but you are a progressive imbecile. This incessant January 6 narrative is getting old. I actually heard a talking head reference the five people that were killed in the violence. What?  One person was killed on January 6 and it was protester Ashley Babbit who was shot by a capital police officer for climbing through a window. She did not, for example, chisel a chunk of curb stone from a public thoroughfare and hurl it off an overpass onto a police car, just for comparative purposes.  And just where did those tools, those bricks, the masks and body armor, the pre-printed signs come from? Curious how they organically appeared out of nowhere, but I digress. We are being fed a constant stream of propaganda with the intended result playing out on the streets of our cities. 

The fact remains that despite Politico’s assertion that the far right and their inflammatory rhetoric is to blame, and constantly spinning events like January 6 or the mysteriously inept kidnapping attempt of Governor Whitmer, the vast majority of the political violence…..and violence in this country in general….is brought to you by none other than your democrat base. Just to set the record straight, it appears that the recent assassinations of Democratic representatives are the result of a progressive extremist and a former Tampon Tim appointee, disgruntled over their casting a vote for Republican immigration policy. Policy, incidentally, that is supported by the vast majority of Americans, even in progressive Minnesota. The current wave of protests that, despite the media dredging up the summer of love narrative that they are “mostly peaceful”, a campaign slogan rebranded from the BLM protests, has been brought to you by radical leftists, spurred into action by organizations supporting unchecked immigration and socialism.  Some actually funded by government grants. Republican Steve Scalise was nearly killed in a shooting at a congressional baseball practice by a radical leftist sniper. Trump nearly lost his life when he was grazed in the ear by a radicalized leftist shooter in Butler, Pennsylvania only to have second attempt thwarted when yet another progressive nutbag was caught setting up a snipers nest on a Florida golf course with Trump a couple hundred yards away. This time, a leftist was incensed over Ukraine policy.  Remind me again about the democrat narrative that Republicans have too many guns, yet it appears that it’s the democrats who are using them. Anti-Semitic protests roiling our college campuses in support of a terrorist organization? You guessed it, the radical left. And returning to the BLM protests: they, too, were brought to you by this same cadre of Antifa anarchists and socialists intent on the destruction of Western democracy by any means necessary. Dress them up in kaffiyehs, Antifa riot gear, or drape them in Mexican flags; it’s the same group of disgruntled leftist agitators with a toxic mix of illegal immigrants,  infuriated that their party has lost control of the narrative and their policies are not supported by the vast majority of Americans. So spin it all you want, Politico, but part of the blame lies with the mainstream media whipping the radical left into a frenzy with disinformation and blatant political bias against the duly elected conservative Republican administration. Political violence is abhorrent, but there’s a distinct difference between speech you may label as vitriol and outright violence perpetrated in the majority of cases by the left.
