Democrats are stewing in a cauldron of rage.
And they have convinced themselves that they are justified in being as nasty as possible.
Now this radical left-wing journalist’s fantasies about a conservative’s death will make your stomach turn.
The Supreme Court’s ruling in the Dobbs decision overturned Roe V. Wade, making abortion a state issue again – and Democrats have not handled it well.
Since the decision, abortion zealots have protested outside the homes of conservative Supreme Court Justices, harrassed and threatened their families in public, and firebombed crisis pregnancy centers and churches around the country.
One deranged lefist even attempted to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Now, a writer for the leftist rag Vox has penned a fake obituary for Justice Samuel Alito, in which he fantasizes about the Justice’s death.
“Justice Samuel Alito, who died on XXXX, was not devoid of any positive traits,” Vox’ Ian Millhiser tweeted. “He was a skilled attorney and a highly effective advocate for conservative causes… Had he spent his career as a litigator, he would almost certainly be remembered as one of the Republican Party’s leading Supreme Court practitioners… The problem is that Justice Alito was, indeed, one of the Republican Party’s leading Supreme Court advocates — but he embraced this role while he was a sitting justice.”
As expected, Millhiser was universally ripped for the ghoulish tweet, and like the coward he is, he quickly deleted it.
But the Internet never forgets.
It never even crossed Millhiser’s mind that his tweet was despicable in any way.
That’s what happens when left-wing radicals like himself have been conditioned by Democrats and their Fake News allies for decades to believe that virtually any behavior aimed toward the Right is justified and virtuous.
Neo-Marxist scholar Herbert Marcuse popularized the idea of being intolerant toward right-wing movements in a 1965 essay entitled, “Repressive Tolerance.”
He argued that leftists must not be tolerant of the “intolerant,” also known as anyone the Left disagrees with.
That idea has metastasized in the culture, and now self-proclaimed “journalists” find it totally acceptable to daydream about the death of a conservative Supreme Court Justice.
This is why culture is so vitally important.
If the culture becomes accepting of political violence, society will quickly unravel.
The Left have made the problem so much worse by arguing that speech is violence, but actual violence is not violence so long as it’s directed toward the Right.
The corporate-controlled press barely batted an eye when a would-be assassin tried to murder Justice Kavanaugh inside his family home.
If someone even tangentially connected to the Right had been arrested outside the home of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, The New York Times and others would still lead with it as a front page headline months later.
The obvious asymmetry in standards has been terrible for the country, and devastating for the reputation of the so-called “mainstream” media.
