The Left has gone apoplectic because a Republican president has finally stood up to their violent activism. For decades, the Left has used organized violent demonstrations and domestic terrorism to bully conservatives and Republicans to influence public opinion, pressure political decisions, and manipulate legislative actions. For the most part, their bullying has worked. Democrats have used protests and riots to create havoc, and Republicans were too timid to stand up to these kinds of antics. However, that’s all changed.
Trump sending in 4,000 National Guard members and deploying 700 Marines to Los Angeles to subdue the massive left-wing activist riots was the correct thing to do. It was a wise and prudent choice, and despite what every Democrat is saying, it was completely legal. They are lying about that part, however, because they want the chaos and destruction the rioters bring. Trump’s deployment of troops threatens the Left’s thirst for violence.
Consider how rogue a politician one must be to ardently oppose the implementation of law and order, as Democrats such as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass did. It’s fanatical behavior by elected officials. They willingly and purposely chose the side of crime and chaos over law and order. They chose destruction over protection. It’s indicative of just how corrosive Democratic politicians have become and exemplifies how little they genuinely care about the country, especially the innocent people.
Democrats, liberals, and others on the Left believe they can do whatever they want, whenever they want to do it, and however they want to do it. It stems from an indoctrinated belief that they are morally and ideologically superior to anyone who thinks differently than they do. And they hate Trump the most because he is an existential threat to their way of thinking.
Consider the ramifications of Trump’s decision.
At various points over the last 25 years, people have watched left-wing political violence rear its ugly head through extreme civil disobedience throughout the country. Starting with violent disruptions and antics during the inauguration of former President George W. Bush in January 2001, to organizations such as Not In Our Name or Act Now Stop War End Racism, which protested the Iraq War, and the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations.
Then came the violence and destruction of the Black Lives Matter movement, in which riots began after the deaths of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. Then there was antifa. And, within the last year, there were the Left’s anti-Israel and anti-ICE riots. At their core, all of them are fueled by contemporary left-wing political orthodoxy. Yet, unlike Democrats, who enabled and encouraged them, Trump has said “no more.”
NINTH CIRCUIT HALTS COURT ORDER FOR TRUMP TO RETURN NATIONAL GUARD CONTROL TO NEWSOM
Trump should be applauded for his efforts and the actions he has taken to no longer be bullied by the Left’s activist foot soldiers.
In the past, these agitators and agitprops would have had a clear path to destroy whatever they wanted without any accountability or consequences. In 2025, there is a new sheriff in town, and he will no longer tolerate that.
