FUCK AROUND. FIND THE FUCK OUT.

You Persian cockroaches in Tehran...the mullahs, the IRGC brass, and every Revolutionary Guard rent-boy who still thinks the Strait of Hormuz is their personal moat...

Today, April 19, 2026, United States Marines boarded and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman with the clinical precision of a scalpel sliding between ribs.

No warning shots. No diplomatic theater.

Just American boots on your deck, American rifles in your face, and the full weight of the United States Navy enforcing a blockade that you idiots thought was a bluff.

This isn’t a one-off.

This is the opening chord of the requiem.

You spent years poking the bear...proxy attacks, nuclear gamesmanship, screaming “Death to America” while your economy wheezed on life support.

You figured Trump’s return was just more noise, that the West would fold like it always has, that your missile swarms and speedboat swarms and Hezbollah meat shields would buy you time.

Psychology 101, you arrogant fucks:

hubris doesn’t survive first contact with superior will and superior firepower.

You misread the American character the same way every tyrant has since 1776.

We don’t do half-measures.

We do overkill with a smile.

BRIDGE AND POWER PLANT DAY is coming.

Imagine it...not some vague threat, but cold military science.

Precision-guided munitions riding the night sky on GPS and inertial guidance, turning every key bridge on the Karun and the Zagros into smoking craters.

Supply lines severed.

Armored columns bottled up like rats in a barrel.

Then the power grid:

the Bushehr reactors, the heavy-water plants, the national grid nodes that keep your command-and-control blinking.

One night of American airpower...F-35s, B-2s, Tomahawks in salvos that blot out the stars...and Iran goes dark.

Not metaphorically. Literally.

Lights out.

Water plants offline. Hospitals on generators that last days, not weeks. The IRGC’s underground bunkers become very expensive tombs.

Geopolitically? You’re finished.

Russia’s too busy bleeding out in Ukraine.

China won’t trade its Pacific fleet for your desert sand.

The Gulf Arabs are already texting Tel Aviv and Washington, quietly cheering because they know exactly who the neighborhood bully really is.

The Strait is now a kill zone.

Every tanker that used to pay your extortion racket will reroute or sail under American escort.

Your oil money...the only thing keeping the regime’s patronage networks alive...evaporates the moment the first bridge drops.

This is strategy, not emotion.

Sun Tzu with Tomahawk teeth.

Clausewitz with JDAMs.

You forced the issue.

You chose escalation.

Now you get the master class in combined arms:

naval interdiction, strategic air campaign, psychological decapitation strikes on leadership nodes if the mullahs keep hiding behind human shields.

The American people are done subsidizing your apocalyptic LARPing.

The Marines on that ship today? They’re the polite warning.

The next phase doesn’t come with boarding parties. It comes with fire from the sky and the cold certainty that we will dismantle your war machine piece by fucking piece until the only thing left flying over Tehran is the Stars and Stripes or whatever new government begs for terms.

You fucked around.

Now you’re about to find the fuck out...in high definition, with night-vision clarity, and zero remorse.

Iran is done.

The clock is ticking.

Tick.

Tock.

BOOM.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

[RiverOaksGuy @Bowtiedplayer]

Imagine being Iran's leadership right now

You once were the feared boogie man of the Middle East. Instead, you get the complete shit kicked out of you for 5 weeks straight, your entire navy sunk, your supreme leader killed, and you FINALLY shoot down 1 plane

This is finally your moment. You can parade the pilot on TV and use him as negotiating leverage

But instead, Air Force Pararescue puts boots on the ground on your home turf, we basically build a whole patrol base including a Forward Air Refueling Point, kill hundreds of your dudes, something goes wrong with one of the C-130s at the FARP on our way out, we're not even cortisol spiked so we simply just fly in another plane and blow up the old one instead of even bothering to do any maintenance just because of how much money we have that we can simply buy a new plane

Good grief. I haven't seen a beatdown this bad since Will Stancil got molested by Grok. This is honestly embarrassing for the IRGC at this point. That was LITERALLY your home territory where you know all the terrain and have home field advantage, we have never done real boots on the ground operations in Iran before, and you still lost.

Everyone throw up the set right now

[Congressman Michael Baumgartner @RepBaumgartner]

When Donald Trump first came down the escalator, I thought he would be naive and foolish on foreign policy, instead he’s turned out to be America’s most strategic and consequential Commander in Chief since Eisenhower. Starting with the elimination of Soleimani and the Abraham accords he has been conducting a master class in dealing with America’s many security challenges in the Middle East. No one should be dismissive of the threats we are up against, but all Americans should appreciate the leadership and capability being shown by Trump, Sec Rubio and Joint Chiefs Chairman Caine as well as the brave troops, intelligence personnel and diplomats that they lead. 🇺🇸

[Based Taco 🌮 @Based_Taco_]

How I feel.

Since as long as I can remember, if you were illegal and got caught, you could be sent back. Doesn't matter if you had a criminal record or not.

I accept this reality even if it affects people I care about (it has & does). The US has laws, Mexico has laws. México would deport me if I was in violation even though I have mexican blood. I'm not a Mexican citizen and thats what matters. I have to obey their laws. If I act out of place best believe they would fuck my ass up.

"But what if it was someone you love?!"

If someone I cared about was sent back I would help them and visit them in México, we have family on both sides of the wall so it's really not that big a deal. We would help each other like normal people.

I spend a lot of time in México. It doesnt make a difference to me, a Mexican cop, a Chicano ICE or Border Patrol agent, its all law enforcement at the end of the day.

"But its your people!"

Americans voted to close the border and deport illegals twice if not 3 times over the last decade. That's democracy not tyranny. I respect that decision and even agree with it. If you don't enforce your territorial sovereignty you don't have a nation. Period full stop.

If thats how I feel about my own people who unfortunately make up the largest share of illegals.

(86-90% of all Mexicans in the US are LEGAL btw)

I care even less about central and south americans, africans, pakis, Indians, chinese and everyone else who was rushed through the border by the millions in the last 5-10 years, against the will and best interests of the American people (which today includes me and my people).

Paisas know they break the law by coming illegally, they are adults with agency (kids are blameless). I say this as a Reagan amnesty anchor baby because it would be dishonest of me to pretend otherwise. I know my people, I won't make excuses.

"But they just want a better life like you got!? You're pulling the ladder up"

I dont see caravan migrants as having any claim here at all, even though I cant blame them 100%. They were lured with gibs and told by Democrat NGOs that America's immigration laws were optional. Unfortunately for them thats not true, old school Mexicans know this.

"But it's tyranny"

I dont see the state carrying out its actual legitimate functions as tyranny. Sorry. Yes I know they're masked and militarized, but on the other hand they're being doxxed and attacked so I cant say there isnt a reason for them to be. México's guardia Nacional rolls in the streets decked out in the same gear 🤷‍♂️.

Is the US government benevolent? No. Does that mean im going to side with people who stand against everything I believe in just bc they claim to be standing up for mine (they're not). Nah.

It wasnt like this in the INS days or the early days of ICE because there wasn't coordinated groups of communist agitators attacking them.

"Muh constitution"

Gaslighting about libertarian principles isn't going to change my opinion on this because we are so way passed that being a possibility (Should have chosen Ron Paul!).

The people in the street dont want to restore the republic. They want to overthrow it, get back in charge, and dominate.

They dont believe in democracy (obviously) because anytime it doesnt go their way they engage in violence, not just against the state, but their fellow citizens.

They're the ones who enforced lock downs, destroyed lives, coerced people to take an experimental vaccine, fired people for choosing bodily autonomy. They doxxed, censored, debanked, imprisoned and even killed people to get their way. So no, im not gonna come to their defense when they get capped while playing revolutionaries. They want that smoke. Let em get it 🤷‍♂️

For my part, I want to spend the rest of my time on this earth as a family man, getting right with God, living in peace and building a future. I have no interest in going up against the feds in the name of global gay race communism. I'm good on that..

[The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial]

Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck and murdered George Floyd. We saw it with our own eyes. Right?

Well not according to the autopsy, but the well was poisoned and they burned him like a witch. Right there in Minnesota.

No person knows for sure what happened in that confrontation yesterday. Did a gun misfire? Was there miscommunication? Did some agent just go rogue? I’m not certain, and neither are you.

But I’m told “as a libertarian”, I have to pick a side, right now, and I must call for everyone involved to be h*nged. But as a libertarian I hold the presumption of innocence pretty high, much higher than any desire to exploit a sad situation and fragile emotions, in the fog of war, to abuse what little influence I have and push some radical agenda.

I understand the supremacy clause as it pertains to the 10th amendment, and the Graham v Connor ruling, and how to amend The Constitution, and I don’t have the ultimate goal of burning it all down, unlike many in my own camp do.

So “as a libertarian”, I’m not going to violate your trust. But I will say this: Alex Pretti did in fact have the right to carry a gun. So let’s get that out of the way right now, instead.

That said.

When John Adams defended the redcoats, he risked his friendships, his career, and his reputation. But he believed in his heart of hearts, that those men deserved a fair trial.

Adams said in his defense,

“Facts are stubborn things, and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the facts and the evidence.”

What does that mean? It means Justice doesn’t care about your biases against the narrative, or for the narrative.

If you claim to love America, you have to love the 5th and 6th amendments too. Cherish them.

And anyone trying to get you to not be patient right now, and hurry up and pick a side— they are not your friend.

You may feel fatigued right now and that’s the point. It needs to be tempting for you to ally with the communists. Some people will and they’ll alienate you when you don’t. And that will be hard.

You can be mad that someone was killed and still hold true to your values without selling your soul to Marxism. The agitators aren’t your friends. They want to burn the country down and take you out with it. They hate you. This is Summer of Love 2.0, and it will get worse.

However, there are ways within the framework of our founding documents to redress your grievances— petition to end qualified immunity, for instance. Congress is in charge of naturalization. Why don’t you call your congressman and ask them to fix that process. Why don’t you run for office? School committee? Big change starts small.

But if instead, you find yourself attacking the enforcement of the law, but not the law itself, you should probably reevaluate how serious you are about enacting change. Otherwise, you’re just throwing a tantrum for TikTok likes.

If you're a true constitutionalist— or a libertarian like me who believes in limited government, individual rights, and the rule of law—you don't join forces with pitchfork mobs. You fight smart: Push for congressional reforms to rein in federal agencies, elect better leaders who respect the Tenth Amendment's reserved powers, or challenge specific overreaches in court without pretending states can just ignore federal law and the articles. They can’t do that in a constitutional republic & I refuse to be part of any alliance who lies about that.

Abolishing The Constitution is not fixing the system; that's burning it down. And once you start pulling at that thread, the fabric unravels—leaving us once again with actual 1775 fascism.

We should be challenging specific abuses in court, and holding
everyone— federal and state— to the same legal standards that John Adams insisted on in 1770.

Shredding the U.S. Constitution now, because we couldn’t tell some retarted commies to stfu in 2013, will not end with more liberty— but centralized control & us up against a wall.

[Kali Fontanilla @KaliFontanilla]

Up in the night researching and reading a couple Supreme Court cases about the use of deadly/excessive force by officers. Here is what I learned:

Whether we personally think the shooting of the armed protester was justified or not. That is not how the law works.

In a court of law, the officer would be evaluated under the Supreme Court’s 1989 ruling in Graham v Connor which established the “objective reasonableness” standard for use of force.

That standard is very clear. Use of force is judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, in the heat of the moment. Not with hindsight. Not with slow-motion video. Not with information that only becomes available after the incident is over.

Courts are instructed to consider:
• the seriousness of the suspected crime
• whether the suspect posed an immediate threat
• whether the suspect was resisting or attempting to flee

The court explicitly acknowledged that police officers are required to make split second decisions in tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving situations. The law does not demand perfection. It does not require officers to wait until they are harmed. And it does not allow public outrage or carefully selected footage to redefine legality after the fact.

We can debate morality all day. The legal standard is settled.

And I personally agree with it. It makes sense considering the nature of their jobs.

[Heatherheather007 @LibertyValkyrie]

My support of ICE has changed over the course of the last 72hrs.

It’s increased 10-fold, and if yours has wavered, you’ve fallen victim to the propagandic arm of the left. Period.

[Lauren Chen @TheLaurenChen]

Regarding Alex Pretti:

My timeline is filled with left-wingers trying to use this agitator's death for their political ends.

Half of the right is framing this guy as a terrorist-to-be, "he brought too much ammo," "he didn't have his ID," "he shouldn't have been armed," and whatever else that contradicts their arguments during the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and other 2nd Amendment issues.

The other half of the right are calling this a bi-partisan issue of government overreach. "The American government should not be able to execute citizens like this!" As if this guy didn't put himself, the people around him, and federal agents into a dangerous position.

Only a few people have any actual connection to reality. Pretti had a right to carry his firearm and whatever else he had (no, I really don't care that his ID wasn't on him). But exercising this right also comes with additional responsibilities. Introducing a firearm into a potential conflict immediately augments its gravity.

Pretti was fully in the right to carry, but under no circumstances should he have been physically resisting an officer of the law. The chances of him getting shot in such an altercation are extremely high, as the officers now have to react to the existence of that firearm during a struggle.

The idea that we should expect law enforcement officers, even if they were the best men among us, to wrestle with armed men and to completely disregard their own safety is simply a fantasy.

And to be clear, I am not saying that one forfeits their right to life simply because they are armed and encounter the police. Kyle Rittenhouse is a great example of this. When confronted, he raised his hands and informed officers he was armed. He complied with their orders. No one got hurt.

It doesn't even really matter what the law is, or what your rights are, in a moment like that. If two armed parties engage in a struggle, the chance of lethal force being applied is substantial. A cop will fear for his life just as much as anyone else, and is an enforcer of the state's monopoly on violence. If you choose to test his mettle, you are playing a very dangerous game.

If you want whatever legal principle you are standing for to be honored - take it to the courtroom. That's your best chance. If you try to find justice with a policeman, and you die, it really doesn't even matter if you're in the right. You're dead, and no, there is no justice that can make you whole again. This is why you need to de-escalate confrontations with the police, and be extremely measured in your actions.

So, it feels the response from the right should be obvious: an armed man physically resisted the police and it got messy. It's terrible, but we can't reasonably expect otherwise from a bunch of men being actively harassed by interferers and then finding out one of the people wrestling with you has a weapon.

The cops do not have frame-by-frame technology in that moment. Things happen fast (possible misfire of Pretti's sig), and decisive action is necessary.

Pretti didn't have to die. Do not interfere with law enforcement, and especially do not do so while being armed.

As always, it's also important to contrast the media outrage of Pretti's death with the complete silence that occurs from the corporate press when Americans are killed by illegal immigrants.

The deportations must continue.

[Leftist can’t handle the truth @DNClietothee]

@evanwch @pawtwenty Yes you are and you also should realize that if you start interfering with LE while armed and fight them you will most probably be shot. Those LE want to go home to their families. Please be patient

[Leftist can’t handle the truth @DNClietothee]

@evanwch @GoForDawn @Rfk4POTUS Use of force is complicated. Let the investigation play out. What we all see on video is not what the officers were seeing and hearing. Remember the deceased placed himself there and was doing things that brought this about. The media will lie to turn opinion.

[NN @NnPnemck]

I want you to remember Charlie Kirk getting his neck blown out in front of college kids. The entire world watched it happen. And I want you to remember how the left reacted. How they celebrated. How they justified it. How hundreds of thousands of people liked a post where Amanda Seyfried said he deserved it.

Then remember how enraged they were when President Trump moved his head and survived an assassination attempt on live television… something that would have thrown this country into chaos, if not outright civil war.

Remember how they built shrines and merch for Luigi Magionie after he murdered an innocent man in cold blood.

And Ashli Babbitt? They didn’t just defend the shooting, they turned her killer into a hero and have mocked her death for five straight years. Their hypocrisy is so loud and rancid it makes their obnoxious red whistles seem quiet.

This isn’t “politics.” This is a communist insurgency, carried out by ppl who openly worship the ideology of Karl Marx and want to eliminate everyone to the right of him. They don’t care about life or “innocent victims.” They care about power, and they will justify any amount of bloodshed to get it.

Accept where we are. It is not going to be pretty. Do not be manipulated by their narcissistic, emotional-blackmail warfare. The only way is through.

[Greg Price @greg_price11]

To my leftist friends:

I do not care that a leftist agitator got himself killed because he decided to arm himself with a gun and venture out to resist ICE, nor the other one who sped her car at an ICE agent while fleeing arrest, nor do I care about the little kid who was detained with his illegal alien father.

And neither do you, because all you care about are turning people-- whose deaths never would have happened if you people didn't have a psychopathic opposition to lawful immigration enforcement-- into martyrs who can be used to justify ending deportations, which you want because it's the biggest threat to Democratic political power.

What I do care about is the fact that there are millions of illegal aliens that have invaded my country. Your party are the ones who spent the previous 4 years importing as many of them into America as possible-- allowing millions of foreign military-aged men to cross the southern border and resettling them all around the country with our tax dollars.

You didn't give a crap about the thousands of unaccompanied children that smugglers dropped off at the border-- nor the thousands that went missing-- in one of the biggest child trafficking operations in the world that happened because of your party.

You didn't care about real victims like Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin-- not agitators trying to obstruct law enforcement-- but innocent people who were minding their own business when they were brutally murdered by criminal illegal aliens that Biden released into the country.

But you people have decided that it's imperative that these illegals be able to stay. That somebody fresh over the border from Honduras is just as American as the rest of us. That somebody with such disrespect for our country that their first contribution to it was breaking our immigration laws should be given the same rights as every American. That they should be allowed to continue stealing jobs, driving up housing costs, and mooching off American taxpayers.

And you want this for one reason and one reason only: Because it's the only way you can continue winning elections. You don't actually care about any of these people. You just want to give them citizenship so they can vote for Democrats and count them in the census so that blue states have more electoral votes than they deserve.

All you want is to import as many foreigners as possible and give them a stake in the political future of our country so that Democrats can rule forever without the consent from actual Americans who you couldn't give two craps about.

And you of course don't actually want to deal with the consequences of mass immigration. The places you live are not the ones where massive demographic changes have happened almost overnight. You'll continue living in your majority-white affluent communities while working class Americans deal with the influx of your new class of voters.

And now, you are have decided that burning down the entire country is worth it if it means your precious illegal aliens get to stay. Your politicians are the ones have actively encouraged the riots in places like Minneapolis and radicalized people into thinking they have a right to obstruct lawful immigration enforcement. Renee good and Alex Pretti are dead because of you.

I, along with 77 million other Americans, voted for a government that promised mass deportations. And that doesn't mean just gang members and criminals. It means every single person who crossed the border illegally or has overstayed their visa. It doesn't matter if they're a murderer or uber eats driver. We voted to get rid of them all because America is a sovereign nation that has the right to deport people with no right to be here in the first place.

So no, I simply do not care about any of the sob stories that you manufacture on a daily basis to emotionally manipulate people against lawful enforcement of our immigration laws. I don't care if federal agents wearing masks triggers you, I don't care about your tug-at-the-heartstrings propaganda, and I especially don't care that your illegal alien "neighbors" feel scared.

We're sick of being told we're bad people for objecting to the hordes of third-world illegals that you brought here without our consent. The moment you decide that Americans matter more to you than protecting illegals is the moment the chaos and death comes to an end. But you won't because all you are useful idiots for a machine that seeks to make Americans poor and miserable in the country their ancestors built.

[LHGrey™️ @Grey_0G]

Tim, what the fuck don't you grasp here about when a man pulls a firearm on federal agents executing a lawful arrest, the only outcome written in the blood-soaked ledger of reality is that he gets put down...hard, fast, and permanently.

That’s physics meeting consequence.

Action, reaction. Threat, neutralization.

You don’t get to brandish a gun at trained officers and then cry “excessive force” when the inevitable happens.

That’s not how cause and effect works, and deep down, in the reptilian core of your brain you’re desperate to suppress, you know it.

Federal law doesn’t pause for your feelings.

It doesn’t dial back because some armed criminal forced a lethal response.

It accelerates. We go harder. Every single time.

Because the moment you let violent resistance win, you incentivize every other would-be martyr to try the same stunt.

That’s basic behavioral conditioning...reward defiance and you breed more of it. Punish it decisively and you choke the impulse at the root.

You’re not protecting communities; you’re broadcasting weakness, inviting chaos, and getting more people killed in the long run.

Your performative outrage isn’t righteousness...it’s fear dressed up as virtue.

You’re terrified of the steel spine required to enforce borders, laws, and order in a world that eats the soft.

So you scream “untrained” and “violent” at men doing the job you’re too gutless to face.

Pathetic.

The agents aren’t leaving. The operations aren’t stopping. And the next fool who reaches for a weapon will meet the exact same fate...only now with even more eyes watching, more resolve hardened, and zero tolerance for your crocodile tears.

Reality doesn’t negotiate with delusions. Get fucking used to it.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

Everything makes sense when you consider the following seven immutable truths:

1. A large majority of native-born Americans strongly oppose Democrat policies.

2. The only way Democrats can win national elections is to import new voters, both legal and illegal.

3. The way to ensure that the newly-imported voters vote Democrat is to give them free stuff, whether via fraud or legal wealth redistribution, or both.

4. Trump’s efforts to deport illegals are therefore an existential threat to the Democrat Party and its policies.

5. Because of the foregoing, it is imperative to Democrats that they shut down ICE operations.

6. A key factor in the attempt to shut down ICE operations is to create martyrs.

7. Dead SUV Karen is a martyr. Deep down they are glad she is dead, because they NEED her to be dead.

[Robert Sterling @RobertMSterling]

(Warning: long rant)

My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue.

I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll through Facebook posts and Instagram reels from the Dutch Bros drive thru line. Political moderates who have water cooler chats about Mahomes touchdowns and Bon Jovi concerts, not Twitter threads or Rachel Maddow monologues.

Millions of them. Tens of millions. They’re logging on, they’re engaging, and they’re furious.

And I’ll be candid: They blame you guys. They blame the left.

Regardless of whether you believe it to be justified, they think you’re the bad guys here. And they are reacting accordingly.

I can already hear some of you racing toward the comments to start screeching in moral indignation, so I’m going to be blunt: Shut up and listen to what I’m telling you. Your movement will lose any semblance of relevance if you don’t develop some small measure of self-awareness, and—absent someone force-feeding you bitter medicine—you guys collectively lack the humility to do this on your own.

Here are the facts:

Fact 1. Tens of millions of Americans started the week seeing a 23-year-old blonde woman—a young woman in whom virtually every parent watching pictured their own daughter—stabbed in the neck by a career criminal. These people then found out the murderer had been released from jail 14 times over.

Fact 2. Two days later, tens of millions of Americans watched a video of Charlie Kirk get murdered speaking to college students. Millions of these people knew who Charlie was; millions of them didn’t. Upon seeing the video, however, these normal Americans from across the land and across the political spectrum agreed that he was the victim of a terrible, fundamentally unjustifiable crime, and their hearts broke in sympathy for his family. Good people who had never even heard the name Charlie Kirk before wept.

Fact 3. Immediately after seeing the footage of a peaceful young man get shot in the neck, these same people logged onto Facebook and Instagram (remember, we are talking about regular Americans, not perpetually online Twitter or Bluesky users) and saw some of their local nurses, school teachers, college administrators, and retail workers celebrating this horrific crime. Not just defending it, but cheering it.

These are all facts. You may not like the implications of these facts, and we can certainly debate the underlying causes thereof, but, indisputably, they are nevertheless factual statements.

Here’s what it means for you, the Democrats reading this:

These normal, middle-of-the-road, non-political citizens just become politically active. They realized that politics cares about them, even if they don’t particularly care about politics. After watching Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk both bleed out from the neck, they think their lives and the physical safety of their families—the bedrock of human society, the foundation of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs—depend on political activation, whether they desire it or not.

These people are now sprinting—not jogging, not walking, but racing—to the right. Because they blame you guys for everything that just happened.

When they see footage of Decarlos Brown stabbing a Ukrainian refugee to death, they don’t see just one demon-possessed man. They picture every university administrator, HR bureaucrat, and DEI apparatchik that ever lectured them about systemic racism, the “carceral state,” or the need to release violent crime suspects without bail in the name of social justice.

They then think back to conversations they’ve had with their cop friends—their buddy from high school who quit the force after getting tired of being called a racist, their friend at the local YMCA who vents about having to release career criminals because Soros-funded prosecutors aren’t willing to file charges—and they realize everything the left has told them over the last five years has been utter bullshit.

And they blame you. Because, even if you count yourself as a moderate Democrat, your party supported the district attorneys, city council members, and mayors that let fictitious concerns about mental health and racial justice supersede very real concerns for their family’s safety.

When these Americans see blood erupt from the side of Charlie Kirk’s neck, they don’t see just a martyred political activist. They think of every extreme leftist they’ve ever met who (1) calls anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton a fascist and (2) constantly jokes—“jokes”—about punching Nazis and “bashing the fash.”

They realize that there really do exist people who wish to see them dead for their moderately conservative political beliefs, their Christian faith, and even the color of their skin. They ask themselves if the violence visited upon Charlie might one day show up on their own doorstep.

And they blame you. Because, even if you’re just a center-of-the-road liberal, you lacked the courage to police your own ranks. You let modern-day Maoist red guards run loose across every facet of society, and what started with social-media struggle sessions has now turned to 30-06 bullet holes.

When these Americans log onto social media and see their neighbors justifying, celebrating, glorifying murder, they realize that some who walk among them are soulless ghouls at best, literally demon-possessed at worst. These people—whether they faithfully attend church every Sunday or only attend with relatives once a year, on Christmas Eve—start talking about things like spiritual warfare. They implicitly understand that no normal human casually celebrates the mortal demise of a peaceful person.

And they blame you. Because, even if you condemned Charlie Kirk’s murder, they probably haven’t seen you condemn those in your own movement who cheered it on. They view you as complicit in allowing heartless fellow travelers to celebrate death, and it repulses them.

For all of these situations, what has your response been? Nothing but bullshit.

In response to Iryna Zarutska bleeding out on the floor of a train, you post bullshit statistics about reductions in reported crime, when everyone who’s ever been to a major urban center in the last decade knows that actual crime has skyrocketed, only for victims not to waste their time reporting it to cops that don’t have the manpower to respond and prosecutors that seek to downgrade as many felonies as possible to misdemeanor citations.

In response to a 31-year-old man taking a bullet to the neck in front of his family, you post nothing but bullshit whataboutism.

> “What about January 6th?” (Honest answer: After you let Liz Cheney spend two years operating a star chamber in the House, combined with countless other failed attempts at “lawfare” against Trump, no one cares anymore.)

> “What about Mike Lee making a dumb joke on Twitter about some guy in a mask in Minnesota?” (No one outside of Utah, DC, or Twitter knows who Mike Lee even is.)

> “What about Paul Pelosi?” (That’s not comparable to Charlie Kirk getting shot, and we all know it. And, again, Paul who?)

> “What about regulations on assault rifles?” (That’s not going to get you very far when one of these killers used a knife and the other one used a common hunting rifle.)

In response to teachers, healthcare workers, and thousands of other liberals cheering on Charlie’s murder, it’s nothing but more bullshit and misdirection.

> “It’s not THAT many people celebrating!” (Yes, it is. Everyone has seen it on their Facebook and Instagram feeds.)

> “I thought you guys didn’t support cancel culture.” (We don’t cancel people over their opinions; we’re more than happy to see people lose their jobs—especially their taxpayer-funded jobs—for actively cheering on murder, though. If you can’t see the difference, that’s your own shortcoming.)

All bullshit. Not even smart bullshit, but stale, mid-grade, low-IQ bullshit. Ordinary Americans see right through it, and they don’t like how it smells.

You probably don’t like hearing this. But you need to hear it.

Because I’m right, and, as you reflect on this, you know I’m right. The ranks of my political movement gained millions of righteously angry new members this week. We have a mandate to ensure these crimes never happen again, and that’s exactly what we are now going to do.

If you want to keep a seat at the table as we do so, you’d better clean house and start policing your own.
