I previously opined that the purpose behind the violent riots/protests happening around our country today might be to threaten voters, to show them what will happen if Trump wins another 4 years in the White House. Turns out I might be right.
As an example, one far-left group – “Refuse Fascism” – has declared that they will organize protests until Trump is removed from power:
“We must make a living declaration to the world that we are uniting, we are organizing, we are determined, we are preparing to struggle with all we’ve got, starting now and not stopping until the Trump/Pence regime is driven from power and its fascist program brought to a halt,” Andy Zee, Refuse Fascism spokesperson, told WBBM 780 Radio.
I find it strange that violent protests are being used to oppose what these groups call “fascism” – given that such violent tactics are the same used by Nazi “brown shirt” fascist forces to intimidate opposition and bring Hitler to power. It should also be noted that the fascists of Nazi Germany were not the free-market capitalists of the Trump administration; they were instead socialists who laid blame for society’s ills on the “rich”. So ask yourself: Which group more closely resembles fascists? The capitialist, free-speech advocating, right-leaning Trump administration; or the socialist, hate-speech censoring (but only they can determine what counts as “hate” speech), left-leaning forces using threats of ongoing violence and intimidation to put their politician in power?
Yeah, that’s what I think, too.
But what can we do? The far left are a fervent bunch that will do anything to convert America into a socialist dictatorship where their “values” are compelled under force of law; it’s unlikely any of them will come to their senses and see the potential result of their efforts until it is far too late. Are we doomed to eventually cede power to this group and suffer the consequences of dependency, speech censorship, and a propaganda-based media? Or will we come to our senses?
Only time will tell…
