Republicans Are Evil, the Left Is Non-Violent
Conservatives are the ones who use the rhetoric of violence, not liberals

Yesterday, I saw the news that a Minnesota Democrat had been assassinated in her own home. This is heartbreaking. It made me sick to my stomach. I denounce this and all acts of violence with every fiber of my being.
Unfortunately, the Republicans have made threats and violent rhetoric a fundamental part of their messaging for the last few election cycles.
Based on the lawlessness of conservatives and their reckless language, it has long felt as if this kind of tragedy was inevitable.
What we have to learn from this is that violence is counter to a civilized society. The time to speak isn’t after the tragedy when all you can do is offer ineffective words of condolence. The time to speak is BEFORE the tragedy, to call out the false actors and to make it clear that this kind of language and behavior WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
Republicans, quit with the damn threats. Quit pardoning lawless, violent men. Most of all, quit trying to blame liberals when the chickens come home to roost.
It’s on you. Republicans are the party of evil.
The instant the news about the assassination broke, the Republicans had already flooded social media with a torrent of false accusations. While liberals were sorting through their emotions, Republicans were pointing fingers and shrieking their lies and spewing their bile.
It almost felt as if they knew this was coming and they were ready for it.
I went on social media to gauge what people had to say about this tragedy. Even now, there are thousands of right wing comments attempting to place blame at the political ideology that calls for affordable child care, universal healthcare, and free education.
Liberals arrest murderers and rapists.
Republicans pardon and elect them.
Democrats are not the party of violence, Republicans are. Yet you see the denials on the oligarch owned social media platforms time and time again.
Whenever there's any kind of crime against humanity, the dishonest actors, both in the media and those that manipulate the media, leap forward with their counternarrative where they try to blame the innocent for their crimes.
Over and over again, we see this. Unfortunately, with the proliferation of social media, this kind of tactic has proven to be effective in swaying the hearts and minds of the American voters.
But no matter what is said or what is printed, either in ink or in pixels, you can't change the facts. The fact is that it is Republicans who use the rhetoric of hate and violence.
It's not Liberals. It's not Progressives. We call for human rights. We call for disarmament.
Republicans call for death.
That’s the only thing they ever call for.
Republicans spend their time posting pictures of themselves with military grade weapons. They create, political advertisements where they threaten their opponents, where they call for violence against their opponents.
Take note that it’s always the Democrats that end up dead. This is not acceptable.
Republicans call for violence at rallies, and the people in attendance stand and cheer when those words are uttered. It’s a crime to threaten an elected official, yet Republicans get away with it again and again.
You can't call for violence against another human being. It's an immoral act. It's an illegal act. It’s the evil Republican platform.
Not the liberals.
What we have here is a misplaced sense of righteousness. The right thinks of itself as the party of law and order, even though they elected a convicted felon to the highest office of the land, even though they deprive innocent people of the constitutionally protected right to due process. All Republicans have violated the oath they took to protect and defend the constitution. Their delusion of goodness is their fundamental ideology.
It’s this same delusion that they use to justify the purchase and protection of dangerous military grade weapons. These are the same weapons that are frequently used to murder children. These weapons are used in crimes and mass shootings that do not originate with liberals.
Liberals are not the ones out there hoarding guns. That's the other side of the aisle doing that, and it always has been. Occasionally the right even acknowledges this as they chortle to themselves.
They’re anticipating a civil war because they believe they have us out gunned. Go and look. They post this. They don’t even try to hide it.
While they plan their civil destruction and their civil unrest and the collapse of our society, they laugh to themselves about how they're the ones with all the guns.
When you meet them out in public, they're belligerent. They like to claim how they can beat you in any kind of physical altercation. They indulge in the ideology of toxic masculinity, which is itself based on oppression, white supremacy, and hatred.
They’re evil.
The republican form of toxic masculinity is based on dominating the people around you whether it be a member of your family, or your romantic partner, or a competitor in a sport. Everything about the way they approach life is unhealthy. But they get it twisted in their own minds. They believe their unprovoked attacks on the innocent are “preemptive” assaults on a future enemy.
This is because they’ve brainwashed themselves into believing their opponents are responsible for the crimes Republicans commit.
They think liberals are capable of conservative depravity.
They’re not because liberals are not evil.
Conservatives are evil.
But liberals are reluctant to call them what they are, so we surrender the messaging.
In the aftermath of the assassination, I saw hoards of extremist right wingers frothing at the mouth, screaming, and blaming liberals for this heinous act. They blame us for every deplorable act of terrorism and murder that takes place in the world.
It’s not us, it’s you.
On the left, all you saw were people saying, “Let's not make assumptions until all the facts are out there. Let's not make assumptions.”
Meanwhile, the evil right keeps marching along and fortifying its false narrative.
The left has to start pushing back against the lies of the right and the false claims that people on the left are violent.
The right is literally killing us. It’s time speak up.
Yes, it’s important not to jump to conclusions. But we do have irrefutable facts on our side. You can say that historically it is right wing groups that are most compelled to use violence.
Again, they use hate rhetoric at their rallies, in their political advertisements, and in their promotional photos. It’s the right that cries grievance and who is always out there looking for a fight.
These are not characteristics of the left and they never have been. Until we have fair representation of that reality, we will not have a properly informed population.
The general public needs access to accurate information in order to be empowered to make critical choices both about their own lives and for the direction of this nation.
The left is not violent.
The right is the political ideology that wallows in hatred and in grievance and which does not hesitate to use violence as a tool to advance their political aspirations.
The right is murdering us in more ways than one. They are evil, they are liars, and we have to stop making excuses for them.

They have lost their humanity, maybe some of them never had any to began with, but they have been given a green light by a psychopath devoid of empathy or compassion to do their worst.
They did know it was coming. They encourage it. Their words, their actions, what they are, who they are.
They always tell on themselves.
