Time to hate them back?

I used to be one of those “Democrats are my opponents, not my enemies” type of people. Not anymore. Committed leftists are our enemies, enemies of the country and just about everything good and just in the world. They have hated us for decades, but did their best to hide it as much as possible. They are no longer hiding it. We should accept their hate and give it back as hard as we can.
It’s not like this is new for me – I’ve been disgusted by Democrats for years. But over time I’ve always blown past the worst parts of the left. In the past, when a Republican has died, I’ve been disgusted by the vitriol and celebration but quickly moved past it. When Ronald Reagan died, many leftist, including many who weren’t even alive when he was president, cheered. The same thing happened with George H. W. Bush, and he was a man almost universally likable. Justice Antonin Scalia’s passing was celebrated, with Democrats giddy at the prospect of replacing him on the Supreme Court.
Each time, and every time in between, conservatives ignored the mob dancing on their graves because the leaders said the “right things.” They were civil, put on their Sunday best, and acted like decent human beings at memorials. We now know it was all a sham.
Something about Donald Trump broke the left, including the so-called leaders. I don’t expect everyone in power to like each other. don’t even want them to. Being too cozy runs risk of them getting together to do really bad, really stupid things. But I do expect them to be human, always. Democrats aren’t capable of it anymore.
For awhile now, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi have been drifting toward public exposure of what we suspected they were like in private. You can’t ignore your members anti-Semitism, intense hatred of the country, and wishes of ill on political opponents and not have people suspicious. That they’re now openly engaging in those same actions, for all the world to see, lets everyone know the mild, occasional pearl-clutching they’ve done in the past was a fraud.
Pelosi doesn’t “pray for the president." She hates the man. She wraps herself in her “faith” when it’s convenient, but she’s about as genuinely “devoutly Catholic” as a Bar Mitzvah. Chuck Schumer sees President Trump’s diagnosis with COVID-19 as an opportunity, one he couldn’t must through any measure of persuasion, to delay the Supreme Court confirmation process for Judge Amy Coney Barrett. “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
Of course, what can you expect from the party whose nominee compares the President of the United States to Joseph Goebbels, as Joe Biden did last week? It turns out you can only expect the worst.
Whether Democratic Party leadership is reflecting their party members or their party members are a reflection of its leadership, the end result is the same – a gang of people boiling over with hate.
After a week of liberals falsely claiming the president refused to condemn “white supremacy,” those Democrats, in Congress and the media, either celebrated the president, first lady, and others being diagnosed with coronavirus, or accusing him of faking the whole thing. Noted homophobe and hate-crime hoaxer turned “journalist” Joy Reid spread the conspiracy theory, as did human planet and hypocritical communist capitalist Michael Moore.
Through all of this, there was no condemnation from the leaders of this cabal. Democrats didn’t refuse to appear on MSNBC or call out these lies when they did. How do you respect a party like that? How do you vote for it?
There is nothing beneath these people, every time you think they’ve gone as low as anyone possibly can, they break out a shovel. Those who weren’t smiling or denying were wishing for the death of the president and his family. Celebrities and pundits wishing physical ill or death on another human-being for the simple reason they don’t like their politics is who the Democrats are.
That it’s targeted toward the president is irrelevant, they’ll get around to you sooner than you think because they’re going for the whole country and the “system.”
Progressive activist and former CEO of Twitter, the appropriately named Dick Costolo, said this week on the social media platform, “Me-first capitalists who think you can separate society from business are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the revolution. I’ll happily provide video commentary.” Dick’s net worth is $300 million. His “video commentary” would be for a very short, first-person film.
But that’s the point – these people are so fanatical. They’re willing to destroy themselves to get their way. Democrats have become the suicide bomber party, willing to destroy anything, including large swaths of themselves, to win.
They hate you, with everything they have. They don’t seek victory, they seek to dominate. This is a non-shooting war, but a war nonetheless. We all need to wake up to this fact and vote, and get others to vote with us, like our lives and America’s existence depends on it, because it does. They hate us, they really hate us. It’s time to hate them back.

The folks at Townhall are considering hating their political opponents.
lol

Reason behind posting the column. Over the last couple of days, the muttering is getting louder. I've heard more than one person that I thought would never say such things, react with some pretty harsh words against the folks glorifying in Trump's illness and publicly hoping the man dies.
The line of thinking goes something akin to the column...If these people hate this man this much, how much do they hate me? If they hate the POTUS this much, how much do they hate the country?
And what do we need to do to the haters?

I hope he dies is the battle cry.
It is everywhere.
The cry is not just against the president.
Of course the hope is that some ambitious kids won't just hope, the hope is that they will make it happen.
You can look in the other place and see people hoping for his death. They probably see themselves as reasonable adults.

But that was different because shut up.

Jon, you try to pass yourself off as a centrist, but your actions betray you - you never question a leftwing joke of a news media like the NYT or the Washington Post, but you never miss a chance to ridicule and dismiss a conservative media source as you did Town Hall in this thread. It's not Town Hall that pushes out lies masquerading as "news", so instead of trying to dismiss Town Hall as if what they say is a joke, and instead of trying to dismiss me using the same tactic, how about actually being a centrist. You'll learn something. Like the fact that both me and Town Hall are far more correct than you want to admit.

I can remember like it was yesterday how loudly the WTF nutjobs used to complain when I said the Left was Socialist. "We will NEVER be socialists! You are insulting us, how DARE you!" Now here we are, and every fucking one of them are defending Socialism. They pissed and moaned when I said they had no principles, and would vote for Satan himself if he ran on the democrat ticket. Now here we are, the democrats are lining up behind a senile old fool that can't even remember where he is half the time, a guy even they acknowledged was a joke until just recently.
I've listened for years as the democrats told us how the Republican party was falling apart, yet today the republicans are more United than ever, while people are leaving the democrat party in record numbers. We need 2 parties. I don't ever want to see a one party system. But the democrat party of today doesn't need to be one of them. But until today's democrats stop defending their party, open their eyes and pull their heads out of their asses, the reasonable thinking democrats will continue to leave them and go to the Republican party. The democrats who actually ARE the loyal opposition are going to have to wake up and separate themselves from the unamerican God hating, baby killing Marxists that now infest their party and form a new party that gets back to actual liberalism.

This is where jon will tell you that he has indeed criticized the NYT.
Centrism, conservatism, progressivism, these are just wishfully thought self-descriptions. But the reality of the situation to an observer will always boil down to what and whom a person chooses to criticize, ridicule, or giggle at. By that are we all known.
