7 OPEN LEFTIST THREATS THAT POLITICAL TERROR IS COMING TO AMERICA
WHETHER TRUMP WINS OR NOT

By Stella Morabito
The Federalist [6]

Many leftists have directed some deeply disturbing rhetoric at
conservatives and Trump supporters in recent months, claiming President
Trump’s bombast is responsible for the political polarization of
today’s America. This is pure nonsense.

Sure, Trump talks about MS-13 as “animals,” Antifa as “thugs,” and
Hillary Clinton as crooked enough to “be in jail.” His supporters know
his presentation to be a bombastic and theatrical schtick, but he never
threatens any group of voters.

By contrast, some ominous tones, even homicidal and terrorist tones, are
coming from the mainstream left. Increasingly, through mainstream media and
Big Tech, high-profile leftists are speaking openly about violence to be
inflicted on Trump and all his supporters.

I’m not talking specifically about the Antifa and Black Lives Matter
street violence we’ve seen in places like Denver and Portland, which
includes outright murders of Trump supporters. I’m referring here to
voices that normalize and promote open terror against any
freedom-respecting person who has different views from those blessed by
left-wing leaders, media, and Big Tech. Seven examples are included below.

1. A Think Tank Guy Should Meet…A Firing Squad

First, in a chilling Twitter incident, agitator Nils Gilman called for the
execution of journalist and former Trump adviser Michael Anton. Gilman
publicly stated, “Michael Anton is the Robert Brasillach of our times and
deserves the same fate.” Brasillach was a Nazi collaborator in France
whose fate was execution by firing squad. Neither Gilman nor Twitter took
down the tweet, despite many protests, including a public letter of grave
concern from the Claremont Institute, where Anton is a senior fellow.

Gilman is head of the George Soros-funded Berggruen Institute and a
co-founder of the “Transition Integrity Project,” which war-gamed the
ouster of Trump from office regardless of whether he wins re-election.
Anton’s crime, in Gilman’s mind, was publishing an article about
Gilman’s project in the American Mind, titled “The Coming Coup.”

Why is Gilman’s Sept. 21 death threat against Anton still up on Twitter
an entire month later? Will it remain up after the election?

2. Shoot This CEO For Not being Woke Enough

Second, former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo objected to the company
Coinbase’s decision to ease up on forcing employees to engage in social
justice agendas such as critical race theory. Costolo accused Coinbase’s
CEO Brian Armstrong of being among the “me-first capitalists” who would
be the first lined up and “shot in the revolution.”

Costolo, who has 1.5 million Twitter followers, added that he would
“happily provide video commentary” of the executions. The tweet has
disappeared, although there is no mention of it being deleted. One response
comes with a screenshot though:

3. If Trump Loses, His Supporters Remain ‘An Existential Threat’

Third, if the Democrats take over the reins of power — in an election, a
coup, or a bought-and-paid-for “color revolution” — what happens to
those who have supported Trump?

Take a look at this Aug. 1 Salon article, which argues that even if Biden
wins, Trumpism “will survive the election and continue to be an
existential threat.” Author Paul Rosenberg examines the arguments in
writings by John Feffer and other anti-Trump pundits who believe there is a
lot of work to be done to force the “de-trumpification” of America.
They compare Trump supporters to Nazis or the Baathists of Saddam
Hussein’s Iraq and describe America under Trump as a “pathocracy.”

Rosenberg cites Feffer, who says the solution is “to drain the swamp
Trump created, bring criminal charges against the former president and his
key followers, and launch a serious campaign to change the hearts and minds
of Americans who have been drawn to this president’s agenda.” He even
brings up the Nuremberg trials as instructive, trials that resulted in
death sentences for 37 Nazis.

That isn’t good enough, however, according to Feffer. It’s important to
go after “low-level participants” to root out Trumpism. It recommends
enforcing this changing of “hearts and minds” so that there is “an
attitudinal shift that could lead to lasting transformation.” This is not
a far cry from re-education camps and coercive thought reform.

The formula appears to be threefold and on a large scale, “the scale on
which we need to be thinking,” according to the Salon article. First,
divide the so-called redeemable Trump supporters from those intent on
keeping America great. Second, send those who are problematic to virtual
education camps. Third, stomp out all the ideas the power elites don’t
like.

In the same vein, former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who has 1 million
Twitter followers, recommended that a “Truth and Reconciliation
Commission” be established to rid the nation of Trumpism.

4. Prosecute Everyone Who Supported Trump

Fourth, former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann recently ranted that everyone
associated with Trump, including his enablers and supporters, must be
“prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society.” To many,
Olbermann might seem to be a has-been, but he has nearly 1 million Twitter
followers. He represents the viewpoint of many in the propaganda media that
control more than 90 percent of the megaphones. Olbermann referred to Trump
supporters as “maggots” who needed to be chased from the stage.

5. Trump Supporters ‘Must Be Eradicated From Society’

Fifth, on Aug. 4, 2019, a supposed religious scholar and CNN contributor
Reza Aslan announced on Twitter — a tweet still up as of Oct. 22 — that
all Trump supporters “must be eradicated from society” along with
Trump, and that there is “no longer any room for nuance.” Aslan has
nearly 300,000 followers.

His extremely defamatory and threatening tweet reads verbatim: “The
President is a white nationalist terror leader. His supporters — ALL OF
THEM — are by definition white nationalist terror supporters. The MAGA
hat is a KKK hood. And his evil, racist scourge must be eradicated from
society.”

6. Openly Attacking Members of Congress

Sixth, the organized violence against guests at the Republican National
Convention as they left the White House in August showed new levels of open
hostility against the right. Most notably, the mob swarmed Sen. Rand Paul,
R-Ky., and his wife, who were convinced they would have been severely
injured or killed if there were no police presence.

This represents a ramping up of the Antifa and Black Lives Matter attempt
to normalize extreme violence against any perceived political opponent.
Agitators even set up a mock guillotine on the spot with an effigy of Trump
in it.

7. Plots to Dox Political Opponents

Seventh, the left is now using doxing tools to invite widespread targeting
of Trump voters. A recently unveiled database called “The Media
Manipulation Casebook” is described as a means of gathering personal
information that exposes anonymous Trump supporters. NBC News reporter
Brandy Zadrozny appears to use it to find “addresses, property records
… even Amazon wish lists” that can be a “goldmine for learning about
what a person reads, buys, and wants.”

At the same time, open-source materials, such as donations tracked by the
Federal Election Commission, are being used to invite the targeting of
Trump donors, either by name or address on a hostile site. The information
can be used much like the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map,”
which triggered the attempted murders at the Family Research Council and
the GOP baseball practice.

Terror Is Predictably Increasing
Examples of hostilities toward Trump supporters abound. Many are connected
to the potential for violence should Trump win re-election. As the examples
above show, however, the threat of terror is even greater should he lose.
If Democrats gain control of the White House and other branches, the left
has spoken openly of their intent to punish a huge swath of Americans with
a program that threatens to cancel them, impose thought-reform programs on
them, and worse.

How far will this go? Members of the domestic terror organization Weather
Underground, headed up by 1960s radical Bill Ayers, explained some 50 years
ago that when “the revolution” came, a lot of Americans would have to
be located to education camps. This sounds eerily like what Reich and
others are now proposing after they oust Trump. Weather Underground members
said that those who didn’t comply despite re-education, which they
estimated would include about 25 million Americans, would have to be
eradicated, as in killed.

Of course, that could never happen here, right? Just remember that history
is littered with societies filled with decent, normal people who descended
into chaos and murder, often incited by propaganda from a heavily
controlled media. However unlikely this seems, we must pay close attention
to these patterns so we don’t repeat some of the darkest days of history.
