Are Democrats channeling Charlie Manson?
By Kevin Finn
In August 1969, Charles Manson orchestrated the brutal murders of Sharon Tate, her companions, and Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. His goal was to frame black Americans for these crimes, believing that this would inflame racial tensions, provoke violent retaliation, and lead to societal collapse. Manson’s actions stemmed from a deeply racist ideology, viewing black people as inferior and incapable of self-governance, and sought to exploit fears of racial unrest during the Civil Rights era.
The question is whether the Democrat (they’re not democratic) party’s rhetoric and policies, by emphasizing divisive issues, contribute to societal tensions in a way that echoes Manson’s aim to provoke conflict, while carefully acknowledging key distinctions.
Recent years have seen heightened societal tensions, with incidents of violence contributing to a polarized nation. High-profile cases such as the tragic deaths of Debrina Kawam, Alyna Zarutska, Fletcher Merkel, Harper Moyski, Charlie Kirk, and others — highlight the human cost of unrest. Some argue that the Democrat party’s focus on issues like systemic racism, reparations, transgenderism, climate alarmism, and gun control intensifies divisions by pitting groups against one another.
Critics, including Brit Hume, point to disproportionate crime rates, particularly homicides among black Americans, arguing that the left’s emphasis on systemic injustice over these statistics fuels resentment and mistrust, creating conditions ripe for unrest and violence. Similarly, Alex Berenson suggests that misrepresentations of crime data in liberal rhetoric contribute to societal anger, potentially escalating tensions.
