"Democratic Violent Socialism": That's what they do; let's call it out. A label I just heard from Jason Lewis, Republican candidate for US Senate in Minnesota, Planned Parenthood's Tina Smith seat. Lewis was a local talk show host, formerly a frequent guest host for Rush Limbaugh, former congressman in one of the suburban districts that flipped Dem in 2018. [Give money]

Why not lump in the violent tactics with the cause of the Left? They did. Many on the Left excuse the violence as justified in pursuing the cause. Many of the others, well intended, unintentionally give cover to the violence. The policies of so-called defund the police support the rise of violence. Look at the data. Other countries have proven, as documented on the forum, that socialism and "equality" causes require coercion which is at least the threat of force to move outcomes away from their natural, free state.
Ask the persuadable voters in the middle, do you support the violence needed to achieve the Leftist objectives? Most don't. Do you support tyranny of the mob? Most Don't. The Founders and framers truly feared that. Nearly every word of the constitution is written to stop or slow down the impulsive mob rule of the immediate majority, from the electoral college to the structure of the Senate to the enumeration of individual rights (cf. right to own and bear arms, powers not expressly given to the feds go to the states and to the citizens.). These are all under attack from the Left.
Defeat them or be ruled by them. Every race for the Senate and House this year is going to matter, not just the Presidency, and margin of victory or defeat matters too.
