THE WAY I SEE IT
The Hate Is Coming From One Side, The Democrats
By Fred Nicholson
The way I see it, political violence is mostly coming from the radical far left which has infiltrated and taken over the Democrat party. The left has been mainstreamed with the rise of socialist-communist AOC, Mamdani and others.
The leftist “Democratic Socialists” as they call themselves, do not accept a plurality of views: they are antisemitic, they hate America, they hate Israel, they hate Western Civilization and its values. These views are now the dominant views of the Democrat party. To the left, words can be violent, so they have to be carefully read or heard and maybe censored. But words are never violent, only actions are violent, like when Charlie Kirk was violently and tragically murdered.
Charlie Kirk conducted hundreds of debates with college students. He was aware that these students had been subjected to left-wing propaganda throughout their college years. Nonetheless, he conversed and debated with them to exchange ideas and views. He never once advocated violence against anyone. He spoke eloquently about conservative values of family, country, freedom of expression and parental rights. He spoke out against having men in women sports, and subjecting children to a twisted transgender ideology. Many of these college students hated him for his stand on these issues alone.
The Democrat party was once a moderate, slightly left of center party in a country that was slightly right of center. Now it has gone all the way to the far left and will not tolerate any dissent. Violence is part of the radical far left’s agenda. Witness the BLM riots in 2020 and the Hamas riots on campuses in 2024 which were never condemned by any prominent Democrat politician. Witness the near assassination twice of President Trump and the antisemitic violence going on throughout the country to this day.
So, when I hear commentators and politicians state that political violence in America is coming equally from both sides, I disagree. I’m outraged by comments I have heard in the mainstream media calling Charlie Kirk a fascist.
A separation has occurred. On the right, those who would advocate violence are condemned and would never be allowed in the Republican party.
On the other hand, what we have on the radical far left is a marriage of green, that is those who favor equity and oppose fossil fuels with extreme Islamic intolerance and hatred of Western Civilization. The result could very well be more leftist political violence in the future.
To top it off, our governor, Kathy Hochul just endorsed Mamdani for NYC mayor, what a sorry state of affairs.
