The Left Has Abandoned Rational Debate And Embraced Political Violence
John Daniel Davidson


With each passing day it becomes more obvious that the left has become incapable of rational debate or political compromise, and must now embrace the only tools available to it: intimidation, coercion, and political violence. Whatever liberals might believe about their progressive politics, today their program is based not on persuasion or representation, still less on open-minded rational inquiry or practical solutions to problems. It’s based on force.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk last month is of course emblematic of what the left has become. Kirk was murdered for speaking out against transgenderism. Dissenting from that ideology in particular is intolerable for the left because it encapsulates an ideal of total liberation — even from nature itself. But there are plenty of examples just from the past week of the left resorting to violence, or threats of violence, to advance their cause.

Call it the assassin’s or rioter’s veto — the last tactic of a liberal project that has reached an intellectual and political dead-end in the aftermath of Kirk’s assassination.

They have embraced the Socialist/Communist philosophies.

The only way these have been maintained over a population, or even emplaced, is through relentless and sanguinary force.

They have no argument that can withstand scrutiny.
Subterfuge is being rooted out daily, and it is vast, from lies told in Media as truth, to ignoring our laws, to stealing from the public coffers in the name of 'charity', to stealing elections by whatever means are available the whole time the complicit media are telling us all we lost 'fairly'.
Enough.
They will resort to wholesale violence because it is all they have left.
If they start it, we'll end it.

"The Left Has Abandoned Rational Debate And Embraced Political Violence..."

There's nothing new here, Mr. Davidson.

This is been standard operating practice for the leftist/communists since very early in the 1900's.

The words 'Left' and 'rational' do not belong in the same sentence.
