Take the time to read this.



(Warning: long rant)

My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue.

I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll through Facebook posts and Instagram reels from the Dutch Bros drive thru line. Political moderates who have water cooler chats about Mahomes touchdowns and Bon Jovi concerts, not Twitter threads or Rachel Maddow monologues.

Millions of them. Tens of millions. They’re logging on, they’re engaging, and they’re furious.

And I’ll be candid: They blame you guys. They blame the left.

Regardless of whether you believe it to be justified, they think you’re the bad guys here. And they are reacting accordingly.

I can already hear some of you racing toward the comments to start screeching in moral indignation, so I’m going to be blunt: Shut up and listen to what I’m telling you. Your movement will lose any semblance of relevance if you don’t develop some small measure of self-awareness, and—absent someone force-feeding you bitter medicine—you guys collectively lack the humility to do this on your own.

Here are the facts:

Fact 1. Tens of millions of Americans started the week seeing a 23-year-old blonde woman—a young woman in whom virtually every parent watching pictured their own daughter—stabbed in the neck by a career criminal. These people then found out the murderer had been released from jail 14 times over.

Fact 2. Two days later, tens of millions of Americans watched a video of Charlie Kirk get murdered speaking to college students. Millions of these people knew who Charlie was; millions of them didn’t. Upon seeing the video, however, these normal Americans from across the land and across the political spectrum agreed that he was the victim of a terrible, fundamentally unjustifiable crime, and their hearts broke in sympathy for his family. Good people who had never even heard the name Charlie Kirk before wept.

Fact 3. Immediately after seeing the footage of a peaceful young man get shot in the neck, these same people logged onto Facebook and Instagram (remember, we are talking about regular Americans, not perpetually online Twitter or Bluesky users) and saw some of their local nurses, school teachers, college administrators, and retail workers celebrating this horrific crime. Not just defending it, but cheering it.

These are all facts. You may not like the implications of these facts, and we can certainly debate the underlying causes thereof, but, indisputably, they are nevertheless factual statements.

Here’s what it means for you, the Democrats reading this:

These normal, middle-of-the-road, non-political citizens just become politically active. They realized that politics cares about them, even if they don’t particularly care about politics. After watching Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk both bleed out from the neck, they think their lives and the physical safety of their families—the bedrock of human society, the foundation of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs—depend on political activation, whether they desire it or not.

These people are now sprinting—not jogging, not walking, but racing—to the right. Because they blame you guys for everything that just happened.

When they see footage of Decarlos Brown stabbing a Ukrainian refugee to death, they don’t see just one demon-possessed man. They picture every university administrator, HR bureaucrat, and DEI apparatchik that ever lectured them about systemic racism, the “carceral state,” or the need to release violent crime suspects without bail in the name of social justice.

They then think back to conversations they’ve had with their cop friends—their buddy from high school who quit the force after getting tired of being called a racist, their friend at the local YMCA who vents about having to release career criminals because Soros-funded prosecutors aren’t willing to file charges—and they realize everything the left has told them over the last five years has been utter bullshite.

And they blame you. Because, even if you count yourself as a moderate Democrat, your party supported the district attorneys, city council members, and mayors that let fictitious concerns about mental health and racial justice supersede very real concerns for their family’s safety.

When these Americans see blood erupt from the side of Charlie Kirk’s neck, they don’t see just a martyred political activist. They think of every extreme leftist they’ve ever met who (1) calls anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton a fascist and (2) constantly jokes—“jokes”—about punching Nazis and “bashing the fash.”

They realize that there really do exist people who wish to see them dead for their moderately conservative political beliefs, their Christian faith, and even the color of their skin. They ask themselves if the violence visited upon Charlie might one day show up on their own doorstep.

And they blame you. Because, even if you’re just a center-of-the-road liberal, you lacked the courage to police your own ranks. You let modern-day Maoist red guards run loose across every facet of society, and what started with social-media struggle sessions has now turned to 30-06 bullet holes.

When these Americans log onto social media and see their neighbors justifying, celebrating, glorifying murder, they realize that some who walk among them are soulless ghouls at best, literally demon-possessed at worst. These people—whether they faithfully attend church every Sunday or only attend with relatives once a year, on Christmas Eve—start talking about things like spiritual warfare. They implicitly understand that no normal human casually celebrates the mortal demise of a peaceful person.

And they blame you. Because, even if you condemned Charlie Kirk’s murder, they probably haven’t seen you condemn those in your own movement who cheered it on. They view you as complicit in allowing heartless fellow travelers to celebrate death, and it repulses them.

For all of these situations, what has your response been? Nothing but bullshite.

In response to Iryna Zarutska bleeding out on the floor of a train, you post bullshite statistics about reductions in reported crime, when everyone who’s ever been to a major urban center in the last decade knows that actual crime has skyrocketed, only for victims not to waste their time reporting it to cops that don’t have the manpower to respond and prosecutors that seek to downgrade as many felonies as possible to misdemeanor citations.

In response to a 31-year-old man taking a bullet to the neck in front of his family, you post nothing but bullshite whataboutism.

> “What about January 6th?” (Honest answer: After you let Liz Cheney spend two years operating a star chamber in the House, combined with countless other failed attempts at “lawfare” against Trump, no one cares anymore.)

> “What about Mike Lee making a dumb joke on Twitter about some guy in a mask in Minnesota?” (No one outside of Utah, DC, or Twitter knows who Mike Lee even is.)

> “What about Paul Pelosi?” (That’s not comparable to Charlie Kirk getting shot, and we all know it. And, again, Paul who?)

> “What about regulations on assault rifles?” (That’s not going to get you very far when one of these killers used a knife and the other one used a common hunting rifle.)

In response to teachers, healthcare workers, and thousands of other liberals cheering on Charlie’s murder, it’s nothing but more bullshite and misdirection.

> “It’s not THAT many people celebrating!” (Yes, it is. Everyone has seen it on their Facebook and Instagram feeds.)

> “I thought you guys didn’t support cancel culture.” (We don’t cancel people over their opinions; we’re more than happy to see people lose their jobs—especially their taxpayer-funded jobs—for actively cheering on murder, though. If you can’t see the difference, that’s your own shortcoming.)

All bullshite. Not even smart bullshite, but stale, mid-grade, low-IQ bullshite. Ordinary Americans see right through it, and they don’t like how it smells.

You probably don’t like hearing this. But you need to hear it.

Because I’m right, and, as you reflect on this, you know I’m right. The ranks of my political movement gained millions of righteously angry new members this week. We have a mandate to ensure these crimes never happen again, and that’s exactly what we are now going to do.

If you want to keep a seat at the table as we do so, you’d better clean house and start policing your own.

Appreciate the time you put into this but only a small faction (maybe 5%) of Dems even give a shite and this would move the needle.

The rest will just laugh at your words and try and plot to kill us

It’s a good read, yet it won’t win the hearts and minds of moderate leftists.

I had a cousin text me saying that the Kirk murder would unleash retaliation from the “Nazi” right. My blood was boiling and I told her what I thought,

Leftists are evil, or complicit to evil, full stop

I’m not shocked to hear that, sadly. Typical attempt to victim shift back to themselves. I will say I’ve seen quite a number of posts from, moderate left people saying they can no longer ally with the Democratic Party.

Not having liberal friends isn’t a problem for most people just as libs thinking we shouldn’t exist isn’t a problem for them but it’s not like we can put them all in a storage box and bury it. Well maybe that’s possible

Think about all educated conservatives and how they went through a gauntlet of liberalism trying to earn their degrees. Millions of them passed over for promotion b/c they are white. Given C’s b/c their viewpoint politically differed and were called racists and bigots for believing in the truth. We remember like it was yesterday.

Truthfully, I had to take a break from watching that insanity this weekend. I didn’t like the way they made me feel inside my heart. I am angry, yes, but it is unhealthy and unhelpful to have the kind of absolute rage I was feeling. I’m sure I will step back in to keep highlighting and sharing those insane posts in a few days, but I needed a break to read the Bible.

It’s bigger than 5%, but keep in mind:

50% of Democrats per a major polling group with a major sample size wanted to send the non vaccinated to camps.

The same percentage roughly wanted to remove children from their parents homes.

The Charlie Kirk response isn’t a new thing on the left.

It’s an existing radical and extremist form of tribalism bordering on a pseudo religion for them and it’s getting worse, not better.

There isn’t an easy answer outside of holding the media accountable for their rhetoric (Nazi! Fascists! Threat to democracy!), but you cannot just pretend it is some marginal fringe.

It’s every party leader on the left.
-Pelosi
-Schumer
-AOC
-Jeffries
-the entire leftist media

The entire party has been indoctrinated for 15 or so years now that we aren’t good people with bad ideas, we are bad people with dangerous ideas and must be stopped.

The problem is the right now thinks the same of the left.

That isn’t just sad, it’s extremely dangerous.

This is the correct answer.

The average democrat voter doesn't care. They want you dead. Their friends want you dead. Now the secret many of us have known for decades is out.

People with this hubris will read something like this, and it will get them giddy. Why? Because now they know that you are aware and have some fear. They get off on that type of attention.

Look at the sociopaths that post on this site whose egos everyone feeds with pages and pages of replies, only get to back Low-IQ responses.

Either discuss the OP or get out of my thread. If you want to debate other things, start your own thread.

Have you heard of January 6?

I heard of it. The insurection where those involved stayed within the velvet ropes. The one where we know the aggitators within were paid plants. We also know he said.

"Peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard"

Yeah, very much the same as telling you base to

"Punch them in the face"
"Get in their face and let them know they have no place in our country"
"Greatest threat to our Democracy"

And it goes on and on.

But keep playing whataboutisms little man or woman or tranny or whatever you are.
