The gaping Achilles Heel of the leftist elite that conservatives should exploit

Most people don’t know it, but there’s a law out there that would seem to cover some of the more violent rhetoric that comes from the left.

Does a day go by where some leftist politician, talking head, “entertainer,” “comedian,” or anchor person isn’t vilifying a conservative by using terms such as Nazi, fascist, Hitler, or even (hilariously) Stalinist? We know starkly from the murder of Charlie Kirk that these portrayals matter. After all, doesn’t demonization have a purpose? Is it not to invoke opprobrium on one’s opponent? Isn’t violence simply extreme opprobrium?
Well, let’s dwell on 18 U.S. Code § 373:

Whoever, with intent that another person engage in conduct constituting a felony that has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against property or against the person of another in violation of the laws of the United States, and under circumstances strongly corroborative of that intent, solicits, commands, induces, or otherwise endeavors to persuade such other person to engage in such conduct, shall be imprisoned not more than one-half the maximum term of imprisonment or (notwithstanding section 3571) fined not more than one-half of the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the crime solicited, or both; or if the crime solicited is punishable by life imprisonment or death, shall be imprisoned for not more than twenty years.​

Although the statute has been used in the context of direct solicitations for murder (see, e.g., United States v. Talley), that doesn’t mean that the literal language does not, and should not, apply to those leftists who stir people up to a killing rage with their targeted, dehumanizing rhetoric.
I am as certain as night follows day that the leftist trolls will be all over this essay claiming this is a freedom of speech issue (I know—having a leftist cite freedom of speech these days is rich beyond measure), and that I am ignorant of the law’s “true meaning.” Perhaps. But my purpose here is not the usual American Thinker essay. I am not out to persuade here. I’m out to advertise.
~Snip~
We all need to encourage the federal system to apply the laws as written, even if it means expanding them beyond their traditional range. The left has used judicial activism against us and this country for decades. Let’s return the favor.
Do we want the violence to stop? Then let’s make it stop. Let’s make it unbearable to keep putting a target on conservatives’ (or Catholic school children’s) backs. The internet is awash with evidence of their hate. You name the leftist luminary, and you or I can easily find hard evidence of their demonizing simply by an internet search. So, let’s make their demonizing cost.
The Left has amazingly given us a great deal of low-hanging fruit here. We have a moral obligation to seize it. If you know a victim, tell them.


Commentary: l
Read the article's, "Although the statute has been used in the context of direct solicitations for murder (see, e.g., United States v. Talley), that doesn’t mean that the literal language does not, and should not, apply to those leftists who stir people up to a killing rage with their targeted, dehumanizing rhetoric."
How about charging governors and mayors who declare sanctuary status to any part of their state or city for aiding and abetting in violation of federal law, and since it most likely has occurred across state lines, in furtherance of a conspiracy to achieve a political goal illegally, Rico statutes may apply.
Jim Mullin says we should apply the same concept to 18 U.S. Code § 373 (as quoted above in the original post) to the Democrat Socialists of America persistent calls for violence. I couldn't agree more with Jim.
I’m really beginning to wonder about the leadership of cities like Portland, Chicago Los Angeles and perhaps soon New York. Based on recent events, it sure seems like they've become narco cities. They are either happily being paid off by narco groups, or are scared of getting offed like many politicians in Mexico or Venezuela.
Confronting and holding them accountable as the so-called leaders to whom people listen to and conclude they speak with government authority.

I like American Thinker's thoughts. I was thinking two things, but now maybe three.

1.) Let's just build a wall around Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, and other cities and declare them their own country and cut them off from every single thing that makes them a part of the United Stats of America. Let them eat their own stew. Very secure border crossings, and any Federal Facility retained as such, ports, military bases, etc. Berlin style.​

2.) I propose the Democrats come clean and realize that their party is no longer the Democratic party, it needs to be renamed to truthfully reflect it's 21st century values, platform and policy: THE COMMUNIST ISLAMIC TAKEOVER PARTY​

I even created a thread about it.
