The last time Trump was in office, Democrats exploited the lame pretext of a career criminal dying of a fentanyl overdose while in police custody to launch hundreds of race riots around the country, resulting in $billions in damage. This time, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), one of the two most powerful Democrats in the country along with Chuck Schumer, has this to say about the agenda Trump was decisively elected to enact:

“We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. We’re going to fight it in the streets.”

Given the context of recent history, few would assume that fighting in the streets refers to waiving placards with Democrat slogans scribbled on them.

If it looks like a thug and talks like a thug, chances are it is a thug. Thugs want power and do terrible things when they get it.

In terms of not just his own body count but those of other dictators who followed his lead, Vladimir Lenin could be the evilest human being ever to rise to power. He offers many insights into leftist strategy. For example:

“Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.”

Don’t waste time trying to talk adults into exchanging decency and common sense for a nonsensical not to mention demonic ideology. Target kids, who don’t know any better. Then you can engrain a viewpoint before it ever has to withstand scrutiny.

For more than a generation, American youth have been largely under the control of the education and media establishments, which in turn are controlled by Lenin’s fellow travelers. The result would have him rubbing his hands in glee. According to this week’s Economist/YouGov poll:

[A]dults under 30 are more likely to view [Luigi] Mangione favorably than unfavorably (39% to 30%).

Mangione’s claim to fame is shooting Brian Thompson in the back for being a health insurance executive. This senseless murder has been excused by the liberal establishment (from Ivy League professors to journalists to senators to the White House) and embraced enthusiastically by younger libs.

The poll is no outlier:

[A] poll, released by Emerson College – a private university in Boston, Massachusetts – determined that of 1,000 registered voters surveyed, 41 percent of them between the ages of 18-29 believe Thompson’s murder was acceptable.

Like Lenin, Mangione apparently murdered for moonbattery. This has earned him an aggressive fan base among wokesters, who are enraged that he might face appropriate punishment for the crime. They have canonized him as a saint in their perverted religion:

Again we are reminded that leftists are not merely mistaken but malevolent. If they are able to take over the world, they will turn it into hell.

It isn’t hard to earn the worship of moonbats. Just commit a senseless crime, like shooting a CEO in the back. If the victim is a capitalist oppressor according to Marxist ideology, wokesters might commit to their reverence with tattoos:

No word on when Elizabeth Warren, Taylor Lorenz, and Julia Alekseyeva will demonstrate they really mean it with tattoos of their heartthrob.

Formerly, liberals could be excused as well-meaning fools. Not these days. They are fools to be sure. But it’s hard to see how adherents to this ideology could mean well.

On a tip from Wiggins.

On Marxist grounds, the liberal establishment has excused and even celebrated the senseless murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, from Ivy League professors to journalists to senators to the White House. So it is no surprise that we already have a copycat:

Briana Boston, 42, has been charged over a threatening call she allegedly made to BlueCross BlueShield about a rejected medical claim.

Towards the end of the call, she allegedly told the operator: ‘Delay, deny, depose. You people are next.’

If that sounds familiar,

The messages were found on bullet casings at the scene of Thompson’s murder for which Luigi Mangione,26, is the prime suspect.

Looks like someone still listens to the mainstream media:

[Boston] reportedly told investigators that ‘healthcare companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil.’

Irresponsible moonbats have encouraged violence against innocent people as part of their campaign to destroy private health insurance and leave us at the mercy of socialized medicine. They are ones with problematic karma.

On a tip from Wiggins.

It isn’t just screwballs like Taylor Lorenz from the liberal establishment media. Even a Democrat Senator excuses murdering people for being health insurance executives in the name of Marxist ideology. Like White House spokesmoonbat Cringe Jean-Pierre, Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has issued a dutiful left-handed condemnation of the murder of Brian Thompson. Warren’s crosses the line into an effective call for more blood.

“Violence to combat any sort of corporate greed is unacceptable,” says Cringe, framing the murder in the Marxist context of “corporate greed” — as if the government that confiscates our money hand over fist and won’t even defend the border in return is less greedy than a company providing people with health insurance on a voluntary basis.

Fauxcahontas goes farther. “Violence is never the answer, but people can be pushed only so far,” she told HuffPost, then ominously added:

“This is a warning that if you push people hard enough, they lose faith in the ability of their government to make change, lose faith in the ability of the people who are providing the health care to make change, and start to take matters into their own hands in ways that will ultimately be a threat to everyone.”

She made similar remarks on MSNBC:

“Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who’s allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth[care], but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands.”

She implies that her fellow moonbats should commit murder not only because the health care system has flaws, but also because Big Government has not been able to “make change” — the result of people voting the wrong way.

One reason we don’t vote the way Warren wants is that she has helped expose the evil at the heart of the Democratic Party. Notes Charles C. W. Cooke,

It was Warren’s lurch into extremism that inspired Kamala Harris to adopt many of the positions she promulgated in 2019 — positions that Harris struggled to shed during this year’s presidential election. And it was the coterie of Warren-inspired White House staffers who successfully seized the moderate Joe Biden after his winning 2020 campaign and transformed him into a myopically left-wing president whom a majority of Americans came to loathe. It should perhaps have been obvious that Warren was a crank when she started tweeting out sentiments such as, “Black trans and cis women, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary people are the backbone of our democracy” without having first been threatened with waterboarding. But if it was not clear then, the consequences of her influence have now made the indictment clear. Warren is a disaster for her party, a disaster for America, and a disaster for the basic human decency that we are entitled to expect from our politicians…

Unfortunately, Warren is no outlier. The Democratic Party has effectively embraced Marxism. Marxists kill people; it’s what they do.

At last, moral clarity on CNN. No one should have to spell it out, but Scott Jennings does: Daniel Penny is a good guy; Luigi Mangione is a bad guy.

Naturally, moonbats bellow threats against the good guy and sympathize with the bad guy.

You’ve heard of left-handed compliments; Cringe Jean-Pierre provides a dutiful left-handed condemnation:

“Violence to combat any sort of corporate greed is unacceptable.”

We condemn all violence. But if anyone could deserve it…

Too bad for Taylor Lorenz that the Democrats lost. Continuing its descent into malevolent moonbattery, the party might have tapped her as the next White House press secretary. Via Townhall:

The former Washington Post reporter has been vocal about her pleasure over the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was murdered in the early morning hours on December 4 outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel. Lorenz has taken the weird position that wishing death upon those who they think might have caused the issues within America’s healthcare system is warranted and should be celebrated.

Lorenz explains why Thompson’s appalling murder fills her with joy:

If moonbats are that willing to embrace political violence on TV, imagine what they must be saying behind the scenes in the Ivy League. Julia Alekseyeva is a professor at University of Pennsylvania, limousine leftist Luigi Mangione’s alma mater. This appears to be her reaction to the murder:

So long as moonbattery rages, more senseless violence can be expected.

On tips from Bluto, Jester, and CDaJFunk.

Unable to cope with not getting their way, moonbats have responded to Trump’s triumph by shrieking obscenities, disfiguring their appearance, threatening lawfare, telling Trump voters to kill themselves, and publicly indulging in meltdowns. Others have apparently taken it less well:

A 33-year-old woman has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly killing her father with an ice ax during an argument over turning off the lights.

There was more to it that the lights. The murder occurred on the evening of the election.

Corey Burke reportedly told detectives that she killed her father during a mental health crisis, feeling overwhelmed by emotions related to Election Day.

I’ll go out on a limb and assume she is a Democrat.

She admitted to using the ax and also strangling him, stating that she “just freaked out” when her father argued with her about the lights.

The insanity defense will probably allow her to evade justice. If that fails, maybe she can plead that her father voted for Trump, given that this happened in moonbattery-addled Seattle.
