Marching As To War

From J.J. Sefton:

The big story and one that is the now as yet non-orchestrated but growing campaign of political terror aimed at the enemies of the Democrat-Left-Media complex and its constituents. The infuriating thing, which is typical of the aforementioned, is its projection and hypocrisy. 

I suppose the fuse was lit decades ago with the emergence of talk radio and then the internet that at first challenged the total control of the narrative vis a vis what was/wasn't news and what the public was supposed to think about it culminating with the rejection of Clinton in 2016 by a candidate that, for the first time in history, was an individual whom they could not destroy despite employing every weapon and tactic it had. 

And after 2 years of a relentless assault on him (see the link about the nature of Trump media coverage [as if you really need to]) President Trump has not only dismantled much of Obama's destruction, he has defied conventional wisdom on everything from economic and foreign policy to what a politician/president should or should not do on the campaign trail and in office. 

He has stripped them bare, exposed them to a vast new audience as the frauds that they are and raised the collective conscience of the average American citizen. A humiliation like that cannot go unchallenged. 

The entire sad and disgusting spectacle of what the Left attempted to do to Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh blew up in their faces, and catastrophically. Forget the institutional Left; All but the most grudging of Never-Trumpers are, if not necessarily wholeheartedly changing their minds about the President, are appalled by what the Dems have done; and it has galvanized a seemingly somnolent GOP base into righteous indignation and fired them up three weeks from what is seen as a crucial midterm election. But on the other side of the coin, it has not humbled or shamed the Left. 

Even after a year that has seen a Dick Durbin-linked plot to mass-assassinate a ball field full of GOP politicians that nearly killed Steve Scalise, a violent beatdown of Rand Paul by his neighbor (leaves, my ass), physical assaults by terrorist "Antifa" goon squads on peaceful Trump supporters, confrontations and intimidation by same of administration officials and others in public places, doxxing, harassment, death threats and other miscellaneous thuggery, one would think that responsible leadership of the Democrat Party and media punditry would have forcefully and unequivocally have said "stop" long ago. 

Well, not only have they not said that but they are actively encouraging and cheering it on. Think about it: the former Democrat candidate for President of the United States has openly stated that it is completely justifiable to confront Republicans with force, stating they "cannot be civil." Are we to infer that she not only does not condemn what happened to Steve Scalise but that she approves of it and wants to see more of it?
