No, Dems, *We* Don't Need to Tone Things Down

We had another tragic targeted attack. We don’t know the motivation behind it yet, but it appears that a Trump supporter committed a mass shooting at a Mormon church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, where four people were killed. Police killed the shooter. The church was also set on fire. This time, the shooter appears to be someone who voted Republican, giving way for liberals to attempt to make the ‘both sides’ argument for political violence. Yeah, not true.

Political violence remains a liberal problem. Sorry, that’s a fact: when your side is five times more likely to endorse or support political violence against their opponents, that’s a cancer. It’s one that Democrats refuse to excise since they’re likely to lose elections. 

The Grand Blanc shooting, so far, appears to be motivated by anti-Mormon hatred. What Republicans on the Hill, conservative commentators, or writers are pushing to kill Mormons? That’s where this ‘both sides’ attempt crashes violently into a wall. NO ONE is pushing anti-Mormon violence on the Right. No one. The Left is pushing for war against us, framing the fight against the Trump agenda as an armed conflict, with endless social media posts targeting ICE agents. Some have even called for lefties to buy guns to do just that. It’s not just a few trolls. 

The Left celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10. Those who are unhinged posted about it openly on social media, which resulted in many losing their jobs. No one wants to employ enablers or supporters of domestic terrorism, guys. Those who were smarter, but still trash, kept quiet. Still, we all know liberals were overjoyed that the man who wrested the youth vote from them, who thoroughly demolished their talking points, and refused to be intimidated in the deep blue bastions of college campuses, was murdered. His crime: Kirk talked to people. That’s it.

I am once again puzzled by Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer calling for us to tone down the rhetoric. We don’t need to do jack, lady. It’s your side that’s out of control, violent, reckless, and hoping death falls upon those with whom they disagree. They’re sick, unstable people who I would taze and lock up, but I’m not king. You can scream at us all you want—but now they’re killing our activists. They tried to kill Trump, and they’re now attacking ICE detention facilities, as we saw in Dallas, Texas. 

We’re pushing an agenda of smaller government, lower taxes, freedom, free speech, undoing trans-insanity, and renegotiating the global trade dynamic that’s been detrimental to America. We’re for normalcy. We don’t need to tone down the rhetoric. Democrats need to stop shooting people they don’t like. 

I’ll say it: you people are a problem. Get a grip and stop killing innocent bystanders. And no one is going to buy that this tragic church shooting is proof positive that political violence is a ‘both sides’ thing. Again, no one has been urging the killing of Mormons. What has been constant is the Left’s bloodlust for all conservatives to die, which has been taken as a call to arms for left-wingers.
