See the Price of Fighting the Radical Left

“Once we do this, this is it. There’s no going back.”

I may be paraphrasing here, but this is what I told my newly minted crew before the launch of “Misfit Politics,” a site that I founded after becoming frustrated with the stuffiness of conservatism and conservative activism. It was 2011, and while a much younger Brandon didn’t have a lot of experience under his belt in the movement, I did know that being an open conservative actively and openly working against the left had consequences.

To be sure, I’d seen what happens when conservatives fought too well against the left. They were widely mocked, threatened, and made into a pariah by the leftist media-controlled mainstream culture. The left made resisting them come at a cost.

At the risk of sounding like I’m feeling sorry for myself, I’ve definitely paid. Throughout the course of my career, I’ve gotten death threats, been impersonated, lost or have been denied jobs, been mobbed online, lost friends, and more. There are days when I wish I could go back in time and choose a different path in the hopes that I could have a fair shot at fulfilling some of my dreams.

But this is the path I chose and it’s likely the path that will follow me for the rest of my life.

If you’re looking for an easy way through life where you’ll be generally liked and not bothered, then I don’t recommend being a conservative journalist, content creator, or activist. Perhaps there was a time when political discourse was more polite and conversations and debates could be had in good faith, but those times aren’t now.

I don’t need to tell you just how vicious the radical left is. Loyal readers (such as you beautiful VIP subscribers) will likely know the game inside and out. The left is full of people ready to do very ugly, nasty things in order to enforce their beliefs and will on the people. Everyone from die-hard socialists to child groomers fall under the left’s intersectional umbrella, and they’re all united under their hatred of this country and their ultimate goal of destroying it.

Take, for instance, a mother on TikTok who had been exposing open child groomer Jeffery Marsh. Marsh is known for posting TikToks that speak directly to kids, attempting to get them to become normalized to gender fluidity, and even inviting the youth to follow him to his Patreon where he can speak with them privately.

Marsh’s evil was exposed by a woman on TikTok named Shamirun Nessa. Nessa’s content about Marsh went viral and even led to one school sending a warning out to parents to keep an eye out for Marsh’s content appearing in their social media feeds.

However, the radical activists had enough of Nessa exposing one of the chief transgender activist representatives for his evil deeds and they went after her. According to a recent TikTok, Nessa had received threats containing details about her and her children’s daily life, down to the location of their schools and the daily routines they follow.

In a heartbreaking video, Nessa openly backs down and announced she’s deleted everything about Marsh that she put up so that her children will stay safe.

Having your family threatened is absolutely terrifying and while Nessa’s work in exposing Marsh was incredible and it’s awful that it’s now gone, I feel for a mother legitimately afraid for her children’s safety.

I don’t know of Nessa’s politics, but it doesn’t matter. If you resist the radical leftist agenda, they will come for you. Threatening innocent children is well within the depths they’ll sink to in order to silence you. In their eyes, this is simply just collateral in bringing about what they think is a more perfect world.

The more effective or threatening you are to them, the more they’ll act to make sure you’re either suppressed or you’re suppressing yourself. They will see to it that you are isolated, made into a social pariah and that your voice will stay diminished for as long as possible. If for some reason you manage to become viral or influential, they will begin intruding into your personal life. They may follow around your kids or show up at your parent’s doorstep asking questions. They may appear on the sidewalk in front of your house or vandalize your property and spraypaint threatening messages.

Don’t think for a second this stops at threats, either. Keep in mind, assassination attempts have been made in the past.

But all of this makes it pretty clear that the fight against these radicals is a fight that needs to happen. It’s clear that their “perfect world” is a hellscape where children are playthings and the rules are made up by the emotion and insanity of the mob.

That can’t be allowed to exist and that’s why, despite the threats and the danger, this fight has to happen.
