A very shocking poll came out this past week in which 55% of those who identify as “Left of Center” said that it would be justified if Trump were assassinated. Elon is a little better off, as only 48% want him dead!
When Luigi Mangione took the law into his own hands last December and decided to be judge, jury and executioner of a Health Insurance Company Executive, a large part of the public raised him up as some kind of folk hero. This was especially true among younger people. A poll of college students shortly after the killing showed that 48% of them thought the cold-blooded killing of the United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, was justified.
This is not a new trend. Similar numbers were recorded during the height of the Great Pandemic Panic, when a majority of Dems thought it would be a good idea to put Unvaccinated people in concentration camps. These of course were the same people who wanted mandatory vaccinations before people were allowed to work, go to school or participate in society, in blatant violation of the principle of Medical Freedom enshrined in the Nuremberg Code.
They were also quite happy to take away the First Amendment’s Freedom of Speech, and censor anybody who questioned the safety and effectiveness of the “Vaccine,” as well as other parts of the Covid dogma, such as the so-called “natural” origins of the virus and the need to shut down large number of small businesses “for two weeks to slow the spread,” which turned into two crushing years!
Our would-be oppressors included legions of “Karens” insisting that everyone wear useless face masks and social distance, as a symbol of their submission to the hive mind. They were only too happy to turn in any of their neighbors to the authorities for such crimes as taking a walk in a public park, going to the beach or even assembling to redress grievances.
The sad truth is that over the past 4 years, we have discovered that a significant part of the population of this country has virtually no respect for the traditional rules that have held our country together for going on 250 years: Things like Due Process, the Rule of Law, the Constitution Order or the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights mean nothing to them. We call these people TWANLOC (Those Who Are No Longer Our Countrymen.)
Of course, they are being herded in this direction by high-ranking politicians and their allies in the legacy media who actively encourage violence by continually telling the historically challenged that President Trump and Elon Musk are “literally Hitler,” while refusing to condemn those who follow their not-so-subtle suggestions for violence.
We had a similar problem during the Summer of 2020 when wide-spread leftist riots in the wake of George Floyd’s death, were explained away as “mostly peaceful,” even though 19 people died and over a billion dollars of property damage was incurred.
In contrast to the much less violent demonstrations on Jan. 6, 2021, after which non-violent grandmothers were hunted down and jailed, of the 14,000 people arrested in the 2020 riots, almost all of them were let off with no more than a slap on the wrist. Many more were allowed to loot and burn down businesses without being arrested at all!
These same “leaders” exhibited the depth of their hypocrisy by maintaining that it was fine for demonstrators to be exempt from all the Covid rules they so eagerly enforced against everybody else. As if the virus would honor their “righteous” protest by leaving them alone.
Hypocrisy seems to be the operating principle of the Democrat Party recently. Only this week they voted unanimously against a bill in Congress that would have strengthened the rules against non-citizen voting, all the time insisting that such a thing never happens, even as Elon’s DOGE group is bringing the receipts daily.
While the useful idiots who are attacking Tesla cars and their owners in the streets can perhaps be explained by lack of education, brainwashing by leftist teachers and the media or understandable dissatisfaction about the state of the economy, what about the leaders, the people who are organizing and paying for these astroturf demonstrations springing up across the country?
It is clear that they are mostly concerned about their loss of control over the federal levers of power. They have lost the White House, as well a majorities in The House, The Senate and the Supreme Court, and with that, they have lost the power of the purse to line their own pockets.
What DOGE is making clear is that The Powers That Be (of both parties) have been engaged in a multi-decade scheme to loot the federal treasury and gain a monopoly of influence. Their most successful crime to date was stealing the 2020 election and installing an incompetent puppet who they could make dance to their auto-pen tune. Of course that was another event that we are not allowed to question in polite society!
Biden, or whoever was really calling the shots, put the Fed‘s money printing machine in overdrive to pay for unsustainable levels of welfare for illegal migrants and radical social change around the world. Of course, a large part of the US “AID” that went through NGOs seemed to stick to the fingers of political friends, allies and bureaucratic Apparatchiks.
Fortunately Trump and Elon, and many others, are on to them and the old tricks aren’t working anymore. The Trump administration is having great success in ridding us of those who are literally “Not Our Countrymen,” by deporting those here illegally.
They are also rightfully revoking the privileges of those “guests” who do not share our values, such as foreign students who seek to bring their prejudice and hatred against Jews, and our free society in general, to our streets and college campuses.
That is the low-hanging fruit. Rooting out the TWANLOCS from among our own citizens will be much harder. It starts with strict enforcement of the laws already on the books against riot, murder and mayhem and abolishing the Two-Tier System of Justice that has been built up in recent years. We desperately need to get back to our original concept that Justice is blind to race, gender, religion or national origin.
This means dismantling all the DEI programs that seek to accomplish under another name, the outlawed practice of Affirmative Action, by giving preferences to certain “minorities” in hiring, advancement and college and professional school admission, all without consideration of merit. We have to restore confidence that when we employ the services of doctors, lawyers, engineers, airplane pilots and air traffic controllers, that they are the most talented and best trained professionals available. There is no margin for error when public safety and the fate of our country depends on competence.
At the same time, we must make it clear that we welcome those Who Are Our Countrymen, regardless of where they come from, as long as they are here legally, and are willing to live by and embrace our traditional values of fairness, hard work and accountability.
The alternative is totalitarianism and slavery. As George Orwell said about the goals of our oppressors, “If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stomping on a human face–forever.”
It's all about getting back to basics - in a manner of speaking.
Trump is at least equally hostile to "Due Process, the Rule of Law, the Constitution Order or the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights."
