@RepMcDowell I will be extremely surprised if anything comes of this.
“Nothing ever happens” is in many cases, such as times of global strife, a good thing. However, especially during times of winning like this, it is a dishearteningly bad thing.
Deporting child sex abusers does make us safer, actually. And my worst days generally includes me being rude and ungrateful to my parents or being mean to my friends. According to @GovTimWalz this is equivalent to abusing a child for months.
Gov. Tim Walz was asked about the deportation of a convicted child sex abuser he had pardoned. His response:
"Did that make us any safer?... Did it improve the idea that we can't all be judged by our worst day?"

The ideas posed here are completely correct if not slightly understated.
The terrorism cells that the left inhabits are far from gone just because they are less active during a time when their enemies are in control of the zeitgeist.
Leftists have long been able to burrow underground and lay in wait when they have their violent tactics met with anything more than just words. This is why anti-Vietnam protesters largely disappeared after the Kent State Shooting, why the Black Panthers lost all their power once S.W.A.T and COINTELPRO were established, and why today Antifa is not making waves in the news.
Leftists are much less bold once they have been stopped with equal or greater force. This is why they function in mobs.
But make no mistake, these groups still exist. They may not exist by name exactly but they exist by ideology. The Black Panthers saw prominence again in the form of Black Lives Matter just six years ago during the Summer of Love.
The Innocence Project and leftist judges get violent offenders who, in a more moral society would be executed, off on technicalities. Or worse, they just release them into the street without any excuse whatsoever.
These are not just misguided ideological actors. Rather they are people who have fallen down a path of evil that only ends when everything great and beautiful has been destroyed. This is what leads them to be the violent miscreants that they are.
It is not enough for them to lose in the marketplace of ideas. For them that is only a sign to become more radical and more violent, if not now then later.
Even now, when the Overton Window has shifted so dramatically in just the past two years as to force the larger groups into hiding, the violence continues.
They’ve tried to kill Trump in such bold ways that it makes the CIAs attempts on Castro look tame. They executed Charlie Kirk. They shot up a congressional baseball practice. They’ve shot up multiple ICE detention facilities. They executed Abraham Lincoln. They executed Aaron Danielson. They executed Brian Thompson. They drove the Remier twins to suicide. They did all this and more, and then they celebrated.
They’ve created a system of mass media to convince you that none of this happened. In fact, according to them not only did this happen but you and your ilk are the violent ones. They intentionally misuse and fabricate data to show this and then point to this data as evidence that they should be allowed to destroy your civilization.
They have come for your hero’s. And then will come for you.
Although we may be in a short period of relative freedom from these groups they still exists. Eventually they will come into the light again. And again. And they will not stop until they have been completely eradicated.
For decades, the conservatives have chosen to frame the Left as simply misguided but rational actors who have just chosen and adopted some particular idea to champion. That this idea can simply just be defeated in the market place of ideas, and that you just need good ideas to beat bad ideas. That they can be treated as just good, every day, normal Americans who just have a different idea for America.
We now have the head of the State Department framing things very, very differently.
"It is a revolt of the worst against the best; of the weak and the cowardly against the strong and the good. It is perpetrated by those who cannot build, cannot create, cannot achieve great things - and take their revenge upon the world for their own inadequacy by seeking to destroy those who can." - Marco Rubio
What the Secretary is saying is that Leftists are not just people who have some different set of ideas, but an existential threat to civilization itself. The Left has spoken of the Right similarly for decades now, too. That the Right is an absolutely existential threat to their sacred democracy, that they are nazis or fascists or perpetrating genocide.
This move, framing it like this, marks a full adoption of what was always necessary. To recognize this as a Zero Sum Game, which one side has already done, again, for decades now. The Right is starting to play it as one too.
This was always a necessity, an inevitability as well. When you have two camps of totally divergent world views with essentially nothing in common, they cannot coexist. One will have to defeat the other.
Now, all that is left is for the follow up. This has to be followed up by significant, publicized arrests or crackdowns on Left Wing terror cells. And there are thousands of these across the country. And they have been quite serious about their activities, their training, and their recruitment.
You see less of them at protests and in public because they're intelligent and have realized that where they had free reign under Biden, their operational environment has changed, and so they've gone far more underground. Unfortunately, for the general masses, if it isn't on their algo feed then it doesn't exist.
Thus, the Leftists need to be rooted out, brought before the public, and perp walked all over media. This will help as well, as it will scare their potential recruitment base, and overall demoralize and destabilize their networks. And morale, in particular, is key in a war.
Which this is. We are at war. It's just a cold one. But it can go hot quite easily. Taking out enemy soldiers before they do so is essential to preventing it from going hot. Hopefully, we can see more action on this front.
.@StephenM: "Let's not pretend for a moment that these Radical Leftists — these terrorists — are operating from a place of sincere political conviction...
The leftist is fundamentally motivated by envy, by hatred, by jealousy. The leftist looks at what is beautiful and what is good and what is natural and is filled with envy and hatred.
The leftist looks at a perfect family with the perfect life and a perfect job and perfect kids, that goes to church every Sunday, and is filled with a feeling of inadequacy and jealousy — and they covet and they turn those emotions ultimately into a desire to subjugate, to oppress, and to inflict pain and suffering.
It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations and you see any photograph of those who are assembled — to be blunt, not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They’re all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerisms...
Their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred."
Conservatives will see things like this and then tell you straight to your face that this is about women’s sports, and laugh that leftists don’t know the difference between a boy and a girl.
10k+ doctors and 100k+ teachers need to be publicly executed.
@JimmyT015@pillsnwockhardt@_sn_n Again, teachers are government employees. They get paid by the government. The government makes their curriculums. They are beholden to the government.
