I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn’t 1938; then, I had to check the books I owned to make sure they weren’t actually written in German. Once I confirmed it is 2023 and I live in the United States of America, I was left only to shake my head in disgust at what Democrats have exposed themselves to be.
Make no mistake, I never really thought they were great people. The party of slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation isn’t suddenly going to pull a 180 and not be monsters; it’s who they are. They’ve never changed their objectives, only their tactics. Now, their embrace of segregation is done in the name of tolerance, of providing a “safe space” to minorities. But make no mistake, the end result is the same.
That’s the thing about the left – they’ll happily tell you who they are and the horrible things they hold dear; all you have to do is believe them.
The terrorist attack in Israel two weeks ago brought out the worst in the left, but it’s also their true self. You can’t cheer for the wholesale murder of innocent people and “really be a good person, deep down.” No, that’s not how it works. It’s the opposite – they are raging bigots and monsters who manage to tamp it down below the surface most of the time until there’s something to protest or celebrate. It’s really that simple.
I’m not Jewish, and I’m disgusted. I can only imagine the sense of betrayal and horror Jews feel, as friends, neighbors, and colleagues felt so compelled to defend the murderers of Jews, for the express reason that they were Jewish, 24 hours after the attack. The Democratic Socialists of America, who count Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jamaal Bowman, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, and pretty must every other Nazi scum “progressive” among their ranks and supporter, marched in support of Hamas in New York City, the next day, before there was anywhere near an accurate body count, let alone an understanding of the scale of the evil. They didn’t march against Israel; they marched in favor of Hamas, literally celebrating the paragliders in the posters promoting it.
That’s a special kind of evil.
In the face of that, how can any normal person care what they have to say or do anything but recoil in disgust at what they’re advocating? They can’t.
The examples of the aforementioned Members of Congress spewing their anti-Semitism or lying about 500 dead in the most densely populated hospital on the planet, when there was really just a small parking lot fire caused by “friendly” terrorist fire, are well known. What isn’t as well known are the examples of small people in positions that wouldn’t get the attention an MSNBC host would, showing people the monsters they are.
Twitter, or X, is like a spyglass into the soul of its users. And in support of terrorists and hatred of Jews, X is marking the spot for leftists around the world to show the world their true selves.
A professor at UC Davis posted, “One group of ppl we have easy access to in the US is all these zionist journalists who spread propaganda & misinformation. The houses w addresses, kids in school. They can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more,” then added a knife, an ax, and three blood emojis. This person is also a “trans woman,” which means a man in drag. If you “misgender” him, the state of California would like to put you in prison. Still, he’ll probably be appointed to a tolerance board over his tweets.
A “doctor” in Denmark can’t stop posting about her hatred of Jews, a “libertarian” in the US pretends she’s a regular on “CSI: Gaza” for attention, college students everywhere sign letters that would be at home in Munich with the Brown Shirts, and seemingly “normal” people chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a blatant call for the genocide of Jews in Israel. And that’s without mentioning that all of these people have taken the side of Hamas, a terrorist organization with the self-professed purpose of eliminating Jews in Israel and everywhere on the planet.
These people have shown you who they are. Believe them. Do not hire them, do not say hello to them, or engage at all.
This isn’t about concern for the people of Gaza; Hamas wraps themselves in them and won’t let them move away from areas they operate – which you weirdly don’t hear any condemnation of from these people. Hamas won’t let civilians flee because they don’t want to lose their human shields, and have you heard anyone on the left express disgust about it?
This isn’t about criticism of Israel – complain about them all you want, no one, and nothing is above being called out when they’re wrong on things. But to claim concern for life while expressing none for murdered Jews; to claim concern for life while not condemning the expressed murderers of innocent, unarmed civilians has no concern for life.
Suppose you showed me how Israel randomly lobbed explosives into Gaza to kill whoever it hit near, without any concern about where that might be. In that case, I’d condemn it without hesitation. But that doesn’t happen. If it did, Hamas wouldn’t have to make up lies like the hospital bombing. What does happen is Hamas expressly trying to kill Jews because they exist. Saying they shouldn’t do that isn’t not condemning it, and using even sterner language rings hollow when you march with people cheering it, chanting “Intifada, intifada.”
I hope people are watching. Today, the progressive leftist Democrats are marching in the goose step with Hamas, but their hearts lie with anyone who hates Americans. It’s directed at Jews at the moment, and they do hate Jews but ultimately hate America. Even, and especially, the Americans out in the streets hate America. They are the tumors of the metastasized cancer that is the political left in this country. They’re showing you who they are; believe them.
