Since President Donald Trump's reelection, the implosion of Democrats and the left in general has been nothing short of amazing to watch. They learned absolutely nothing from their November 2024 drubbing and have refused any sort of introspection or reflection. Instead, they have doubled down on their ridiculous policies, and as we have learned, when leftists don't get their way, they throw temper tantrums that are becoming increasingly violent. The most disturbing part is, those who deem violence against those with whom they disagree as being not just okay, but necessary, especially when it comes to the deportation of illegal immigrants.
The left admits they are the party of political violence.

A new survey done by Virginia-based Cygnal shows that 42 percent of those who claim to be liberal say it is "acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest even if that meant breaking the law,” when it comes to immigration raids conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). But even more alarming, but not at all surprising, is that the number jumps to 60 percent of liberals under 30 years old.
Cygnal President and pollster Brent Buchanan had this to say about where young people are ideologically right now.
Liberals are shockingly okay with breaking the law to go against government action they don’t agree with, like ICE raids...One side of America’s political spectrum, whether directly engaged in the behaviors or not, now openly accepts breaking laws if it means advancing their political agenda. Considering their justification of illegal immigration and insistence that it’s not a criminal act if the act is desperate, this might not be such a surprise.
The results of the survey are rather ironic, because it is young Americans who are most affected by illegal immigration. The mass influx of illegals forced wages down and created more housing demands, which increased the cost. In total, of the 1,500 respondents to the Cygnal survey, 25 percent said it was “acceptable to go beyond peaceful protest," 11 percent strongly agreed, and 18 percent who identified as liberals strongly agreed. Broken down a bit more, 34 percent of women under age 55 said they agreed, including 16 percent who said they strongly agreed. Also, not surprisingly, just 14 percent of conservatives agreed, and 84 percent disagreed. Of those who said they were independents, 72 percent disagreed, and 21 percent agreed.
Political violence is NOT a "both sides" issue. 60% of liberals aged 18-29 agree with breaking the law over disagreement (41% of all libs).

Compare that to 14% of conservatives.
Enough with ignoring facts, voters self-admitting it's an issue of the Left.https://t.co/tED6C2uLMe
As ICE raids are being carried out all over the country, including the bluest of cities and states, most recently in Los Angeles and Chicago, more violence is being directed at ICE agents, and the Democrat mayors and governors in those cities and states are encouraging that violence. On Wednesday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker made this moronic statement:
Is it really far-fetched to consider that maybe what [Trump] is doing with the militarization of cities is getting people used to seeing those military or people dressed in fatigues with automatic weapons, and then saying in November or October of 2026, ‘We’re going to protect the ballots. We’re going to protect you at the polling place. So we’re going to put these military soldiers or ICE officials in with automatic weapons outside of your polling place.’ … if they don’t think that the election is going their way, they can claim fraud and say, we’re seizing those ballot boxes.
These kinds of statements do nothing but encourage violence against ICE agents, and Pritzker knows it.
As my colleague Katie Jerkovich has reported, the Band-Aid was really ripped off this notion that political violence in general is acceptable following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Social media was ripe with those who not only celebrated Kirk's murder but put the unvarnished truth on full display about who the left really is. They also have the full support and encouragement of left-wing media. The frightening part is that it shows no sign of letting up.
Welcome to the new Democrat party.
Young or old, Liberals are a threat to peace and security!

The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
