So how many of the 24 offenders are affiliated with the Democratic Party or any other mainstream reformist, progressive or leftist organisation? The answer is none. The only perpetrator arguably from the Left is Black nationalist Quintez Brown.

Trump not alone in falsely blaming others for his own evil.

Immediately after Kirk’s killing, Elon Musk tweeted, ‘The Left is the party of murder’.

    I get that we want to take the high road, but it is also somewhat disheartening to know that while they are willing to go to great lengths to get what they want, the left isn’t nearly as motivated.

    I worry that when things do finally pop off (and they will), the MAGAs will rise to the occasion, and the Dems will just march into the gas chambers without a peep.

      Going high when your opponent is willing to burn the country down to remain in power will never work. Republicans have shown that they are willing to ignore the Constitution, our laws and their oaths to their god, but Maga has a problem if they start shooting.

      The left isn’t anywhere near a bloodthirsty as Maga, but we are armed. Maga will be very surprised to find out how well armed if they start shooting.
