American Greatness: How much crazier can the progressive Left get? The short answer is a lot.
After their victory in the midterms, Democrats can assume the two-year psychodrama they inflicted upon the nation actually worked. So why stop.
Hillary Clinton’s been saying that “civility can start again” when her party regains both the House and Senate. Since that’s not going to happen for at least another election cycle, it’s a matter of public safety to wonder what the next level of crazy might be.
With President Donald Trump still in office it doesn’t take a genius to predict that the other side’s removal effort is about to shift into high gear.
Democratic strategy usually calls for mau-mauing political opponents with insults and agitation. But what happens this time around if things get out of hand?
Suppose the anti-Trump resistance redoubles its investment in the deranged and turns into something like the Weather Underground. For those who may have missed the late 1960s, that was the group led by Bill Ayers, best remembered for setting off bombs in the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol Building.
After finally surrendering to authorities, Ayers later in life was the domestic terrorist said to be “paling around” with Barack Obama when the two worked together on a project to radicalize Chicago school kids.
Here it should be noted there’s a big difference between today’s spoiled resisters and their predecessors. Not only do current crazies enjoy the support of high-level Democrats, like Obama, encouraging them to “punish our enemies.” They also have the entire mainstream media behind them, eager to blame whatever they do on Trump.
The Weather Underground, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and other violence-prone militants of old never got anyone’s official approval, and they never freelanced as a Democratic Party goon squad. Their goal was a Marxist-style overthrow of the government.
The SDS mission statement for Days of Rage, a nationwide anti-Vietnam War protest-turned-riot in 1969, got right to the point: “The Elections Don’t Mean Shit—Vote Where the Power Is—Our Power Is In The Street.”
Back in the day, taking it to the street almost guaranteed bloodshed. The rage in Chicago that year ended after less than an hour with 28 police injured, six members of the Weather Underground shot (none fatally), and 68 demonstrators arrested.
Times, obviously, have changed. Antifa, Black Lives Matter (BLM) and similar social justice warriors are seen by progressives as doing what needs to be done, no matter how much harm they cause. As seen recently when an Antifa mob attempted to storm Tucker Carlson’s home.
In 2016, BLM leaders were invited to the White House for a pep talk from the radical-in-chief. “They are much better organizers than I was when I was their age,” President Obama said. “I’m confident that they are going to take America to new heights.” MORE HERE
I have to say, American Greatness publishes some damn good columns.
After the election of a complete psycho in ariz I don’t hold out hope for MAGA anymore.
As the Democrat leadership shifts ever further toward leftist lunacy and thuggery, moderate Democrats will become isolated and targeted. The big question is, will these moderates break rank and vote with the minority party? A lot will depend on who the minority leader will be. Another Paul Ryan would have no appeal to them.
Unfortunately, I have felt for many years now that the Republican party will NEVER be capable of doing what needs to be done to save this country from being flushed down the toilet. It will have to come from within the Democrat Party. Yeah — totally hopeless.
I can all too easily see this happening in real life soon…

These people on the left are gonna mess around and open themselves up to spiritual forces to “help” them achieve what they think they want, and then it’s going to get even more “interesting”.
Be ready.
God help us.
Embolds them to take the next step and try an actual armed attack.
I say to them: Go For It, Assholes.
