History shows left wing movements always end up becoming violent when they don't work.....or especially when they DO.
Let's take a look at one the most violent uprisings in modern history, the rise of the 3rd Reich.
The
liberal Weimar Republic preceded the 3rd Reich. The Nazi Party's central claim was that Weimar's liberalism had over-assimilated "foreign" elements into culture and politics, especially Jews, who were rotting Germany's institutions and traditions from the inside.
This was part of a larger struggle against the French Revolution, which was asking nations across Europe to weaken their unique language, culture, and traditions for a cosmopolitan, abstract universalism whereby the
dignity of man was more important than, say, the the dignity of
Germans. Hitler saw the inclusiveness and moral relativism of European Liberalism as a grave threat to the sacred traditions, language, religion, and history of Germany.
Guess what he did? He told average Germans to "take their country back" from the Jewish plague that was, like American liberals during the McCarthy era, slowly wrapping itself around the country's institutional organs. Hitler emphatically did not draw upon Liberal tolerance and multiculturalism for his revolution; he asked German nativists to vanquish the evil outsiders that were threatening German "Borders, Language, & Culture".
Typically, Rightwing movements are the bloodiest because they do not see the "outsider" or enemy as morally equal (like Liberals), but - rather - evil. Ask a Michael Savage lovin' right-winger what he thinks about Liberals, or homosexuals, or Islamic Muslims. You won't hear flowery Liberal jargon about inclusiveness; to the contrary, you will hear about evil-doers and baby killers and "the gay agenda" and the need to "take our country back" from the evil which abounds, by force if necessary ("Second Amendment remedies"). FYI: the minute you designate something as evil, as Hitler and other rightwing movements do, you open the door to bloodshed.
Listen to Michael Savage and some of the more extreme personalities on rightwing talk radio. They are always whispering "rise up and take your country back from the evil anti-Americans who have stolen it".
In short, people better prepare themselves for some very extreme, very bloody scapegoating. The right-wing feels backed into a corner by what their leaders describe as the Liberal take over of America. Lord knows what they will do if things get as bad as I think they will. America is like Weimar of the 30s, i.e., it is Liberal and falling off an economic cliff. The environment is ripe for a charismatic rightwing leader promising moral renewal based on a program of purging the country of evil liberals, gays, illegals, socialists, terrorists, and whatever other evil-doers the GOP invents to distract the serfs from seeing who really runs the country.
God help us because as Michael Savage says "the silent white majority is about to wake up and take their country back"
God help us.
