Yesterday, a crazed man opened fire on Republican congressmen and the media can't seem to figure out why. It isn't even just the mainstream media that seem to avoid the elephant in the room. Even conservatives seem to not quite know how to describe what lead to this. They nibble at the edges but miss the big problem.
In my humble opinion, this is all about Nazis.
Yup... Nazis. The left in this country have been VERY cavalier in recent months with this word and I knew it would only be a matter of time until somebody actually did something like this.
There are people in this country that have been equating the GOP with the Nazi party. Others have compared the Confederate flag to the crooked cross. If you want a real adventure, Google "similarities between GOP and Nazi party" and you'll see what I mean. It is an accepted part of the national dialogue to throw around words like Nazi and Fascist when describing Trump and the Republicans.
Think about that for a moment. If people actually believe that we are living in the equivalent of 1930's Germany, what is the right action to take? Wouldn't you kill Hitler before the Holocaust? Wouldn't his henchmen be fair game? What about the SS?
The language adopted by many on the left has been irresponsible to a degree which can hardly be fathomed. Policy differences will always exist. We will never agree upon all matters. But when one party demonizes the other to the extent that one has is dangerous and lead directly to what we saw in Alexandria yesterday.
I pray that the adults finally show up on the left. I don't mind policy disagreements. If you identify your political opponents as evil, rather than just wrong of misguided, somebody will eventually take you seriously.
