EVEN JB PRITZKER IS CALLING FOR ‘CONFLICT’: The ‘Assassination Culture’ pervades out-of-power leftists… their political violence threatens Democracy

The political violence from America’s Left continues to grow.  They believe their acts of violence to be righteous and free speech.  Conversely, they believe their opponents voices speaking of a contrary point of view to be violence.  This is how we get petty vandalism (which in this day and age is felony vandalism… have you priced repainting body panels lately?), fire-bombing car dealerships and Republican offices – and assassination of business executives.

In New Hampshire in recent hours, Illinois Gov. Pritzker took a break from stuffing his piehole with pizza and fine wine to opine that his political opponents shouldn’t have a moment of peace.  What’s the opposite of peace?  CONFLICT.

He calls his opponents tyrants and traitors.  From a guy some would say is bought and paid for by China who enacted how many “executive orders” relating to the China Flu?  The psychological projection runs strong in this guy.

Mass protests and disruption.  Translation:  It’s a battle cry for Antifa to start doing their thing.

Along those lines, here’s a piece on the troubling increase in the Assassination Culture on the rise in America.

From American Greatness:

On “Assassination Culture”: It’s Not You, It’s the Left

Writing in City Journal, Zack Dulberg and Max Horder, senior fellows at the Network Contagion Research Institute, examined the results of a recent survey to determine why America has experienced a disturbing increase in political violence. The answer should surprise no objective observer: “Progressives increasingly support violence.”

We found that nearly one-third of Americans surveyed—and around half of those identifying as left-of-center—believe that the murder of certain public figures is at least somewhat justified. The figures are startling: 38 percent of respondents, and 55 percent of those left of center, said assassinating President Trump would be at least somewhat justified; 31 percent of respondents, and 48 percent of those left of center, said the same about Musk. Forty percent of respondents, and 58 percent of those left of center, deem it at least somewhat acceptable to “destroy a Tesla dealership” in protest.

Further, based upon their findings, Mr. Dulberg and Mr. Horder have identified the disease ravaging the body politic:

Our report also discovered an online “assassination culture,” found in predominantly left-leaning digital spaces, such as Bluesky and Reddit. This subculture justifies and glorifies political violence. Some of these networks’ users wield the name “Luigi” or use the Luigi video game character as coded endorsements of Brian Thompson’s alleged assassin, Luigi Mangione. These users cloak explicit calls for violence in stylized memes. Many believe that political murder and sabotage are acceptable forms of protest.

And again, as the authors stress, this is no longer a phenomenon on the fringe of the public square: “This ‘assassination culture’ incubated on social media has migrated from the margins of public life into the mainstream.”

Yet, in trying to divine a rationale for the unconscionable—namely, the left’s latest recrudescence into political violence—Misters Dulberg and Horder made a courageous attempt but fell short. The authors posit a trio of well-worn reasons: “left-wing authoritarianism (characterized by a willingness to use coercion and punishment for progressive aims), external locus of control (the extent to which individuals feel powerless in their lives), and use of the left-wing social media platform Bluesky.”

While I do not find fault with their research, I must dissent from their initial conclusions regarding the indicators of the left’s political violence. After all, during the four years of the Biden Administration, the right did not engage in a similar wave of violence, let alone have it ignored or condoned by the media. In fact, it was the federal government under a leftist president that used its police and surveillance powers to infringe upon the constitutional rights and civil liberties of its opponents.

Thus, what does motivate the latest rise in leftist violence? The same thing that motivates the left, whether in power or out of power. While sane people believe politics is part of life, the left believes politics is life.

Consequently, the left believes that if it is unable to impose its political ideology upon others, it is not a political failure but a personal tragedy for oneself and for humanity. Thus, with the stakes running the gamut from the personal to the national to the global, the left finds it easy to justify its illicit actions as “resistance,” and, especially when their beloved democracy votes them out of power, this political and personal affront must be rectified—by any means necessary.
