Other than that, they are loyal Americans

"The Left is crystal clear.

They have a new rainbow flag, they want to remove Washington, Jefferson, Betsy Ross and the rest of the founding.

They want to replace the citizenry with new people.

They want to ignore federal law, dissolve the borders of the United States and transfer many elements of sovereignty to global structures.

They want to end constitutional protections such as free speech, religious liberty, due process and any and all constitution limits or common law traditions which don't fit their plan of the day.

They do not respect elections, or democracy, or any splits of power, such as the electoral college, apportionment of districts or separation of powers, unless they win. All other exercises of power are illegitimate.

They want to swap all definitions, holidays, street names, statues, history text books, flags, rules, traditions, religions, borders, people, structures, institutions, moral codes, sexual mores, family structures, civic organizations, decision structures, leaders and primary language, plus they want to libel, destroy and remove the rights of anyone wanting to retain any of those things.

Other than that, they are loyal Americans.”

George Orwell was a prophet—today’s MeToo movement and the Left 3.0

From the book “1984:”

"The aim of the Party was not merely to prevent men and women from forming loyalties which it might not be able to control. Its real, undeclared purpose was to remove all pleasure from the sexual act. Not love so much as eroticism was the enemy, inside marriage as well as outside it. "

"Sexual intercourse was to be looked on as a slightly disgusting minor operation, like having an enema. This again was never put into plain words, but in an indirect way it was rubbed into every Party member from childhood onwards. There were even organizations such as the Junior Anti-Sex League, which advocated complete celibacy for both sexes. All children were to be begotten by artificial insemination (artsem, it was called in Newspeak) and brought up in public institutions. "

"The Party was trying to kill the sex instinct, or, if it could not be killed, then to distort it and dirty it. " "And as far as the women were concerned, the Party's efforts were largely successful."

The predictable New Old Left of the 21st century

Today's New Old Left has merged with the New Left of the 1960s--Jerry Rubin, Jane Fonda, and Bill Ayers, Obama's old neighborhood buddy, who helped launch his presidency. The New Old Left uses the methods of Mao and Stalin, yet instead of organizing coal miners, they want to destroy the coal industry. They've got a long list of forbidden words, whereas the New Left liked to shout out obscene words to shock.

"No wonder the New Old Left shares the worst traits of both inheritances: protestors shout profanities and yell in classrooms and lecture halls, but their shouts are boring and predictable. With all the boilerplate directives of “white privilege”, “intersectionality” and “institutional racism,” Antifa protestors sound like hippies as they shout out New Left obscenities, but they also put on black riot gear and masks, and resemble the old well-organized communist street mobs of the 1930s."

Michael Smith comments on the role of the left in the assassinations attempt by Hodgkinson

A percentage of the radical left are hailing James T. Hodgkinson as a "patriot" for trying to kill Republicans in his fight for freedom.

Remember this: Hodgkinson wasn't killing for freedom, he was killing for more government. He was a supporter of the socialist Bernie Sanders for goodness sake.

It is not a fact that "both sides do it" - and it isn't so much the rage of one party or the other that is the issue. It is the fact that everything these days is politicized. When nothing is personal and everything is political, personal situations that should remain personal are subject to scrutiny by people who have no business scrutinizing anything. This is what happens when collectivism creeps in and the collective is given veto power over the rights, beliefs, thoughts and speech of the individual.

Democrats are progressives and progressives are collectivists. James T. Hodgkinson was not in Washington to fight for more independence, freedom and liberty, he was there to kill members of the party that is trying to prevent liberty from slipping away. Hodgkinson was there in anger because his party was not achieving MORE control over individuals and thereby reducing independence, freedom and liberty.

Progressivism is to blame, not any specific political party - because there are progressives in both. Progressivism kills. It always has, it always will.
