I’m just going to say it. The Democratic Party seems to be turning into a death cult. It reminds me increasingly of the murderous following that developed around the 1960s psychopath, Charles Manson, which came to be known as the Manson Family.
~ SNIP, a semi-lengthy history of the Manson family, most of which folks already know ~
We are now witnessing a shocking celebratory reaction of Charlie Kirk’s horrifying public assassination among many on America’s left and in the Democratic Party. Teachers, professors, physicians, lawyers, and corporate executives have mocked or praised Kirk’s murder. Indeed, the No. 1 demographic celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder is reportedly professors and teachers. One can find countless videos posted to social media of disgusting displays of individuals celebrating the brutal slaying of this man, whose uniquely effective debating skills were too much for them to bear.
New polling data reveals a stunning level of acceptance of political violence on the part of American liberals. The question, “Do you generally consider it to be acceptable or unacceptable for a person to be happy about the death of a public figure they oppose?” was met with nearly a quarter of individuals who identified as “very liberal” – 24 percent – responding that it was “always or usually acceptable.” Three percent of those who identified as “very conservative” agreed with that sentiment.
Some Republicans have expressed concern about the potential development on the American left of an “assassination culture” in America.
Just as Charles Manson’s “family” of drug-addled psychopaths had been conditioned to completely submit to the will of their leader, too many Democrats seem to have lost their humanity and have been conditioned to embrace or accept homicide as a tactic in realizing their goals. The same penchants for narcissism, nihilism and public spectacle that drove Manson are what we are witnessing among much of America’s left today.
Charlie Kirk was the nice guy on the conservative side who thought that his political opponents could be reasoned with by using logical arguments. It cost him his life. My fervent hope is that the Democratic Party does not continue its descent into Manson-like psychopathy. Better yet, maybe many of its members will wake up and leave that party altogether.
