The moment a bullet zipped past then-candidate Donald Trump's ear to the sound of groans and disappointment from the left was the moment something shifted in America. Too many on the left didn't just express a sense of anger around that failure; they actively encouraged more attempts.
Then Charlie Kirk was shot, and this time, many on the left erupted in celebration. As time went on, they continued to demonstrate just how much they loved the idea of violence against their opponents. Teachers simulated Kirk's neck shot.

Violence isn't just a mere suggestion anymore. In many cases, it's a demand that has a few voluntary suppliers. All the while, no one seems to be trying to slam the brakes. Not the politicians. Not the media.
On the Left's favorite social media platform, Bluesky, any bipartisan work or failure is punishable, not just with getting voted out of office, but with death threats, too. As Bonchie noted in a report on Monday, Bluesky users are currently displaying guillotine memes featuring Chuck Schumer.

In an interesting conversation with comedian Bill Maher, actress Cheryl Hines, who is also the wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., noted that Democrats aren't the Democrats of the past, noting that Republicans were always nicer than Democrats, even when her husband was running as a Democrat. Maher vehemently agreed, noting that the Democrats have become "mean."

HINES: “The Republicans have been very kind to me from the beginning. Even ... when Bobby was running as a Democrat, they weren’t mean. And they never have been. And I can’t say that for the… pic.twitter.com/9DiWjCh8rN
And I can’t say that for the Democrats.
This attitude comes from the Democrat Party becoming consumed with purity tests that, if failed, can result in anything from ostracization to assassination. Property damage is permissible if the damage is being done to someone whom the Left feels should suffer. For a while, Tesla owners were gathering footage of people vandalizing their cars. Store owners had to put up signs begging rioters not to destroy their businesses during Black Lives Matter.
How long can Democrats keep this up? When even dyed-in-the-wool Dems like Maher are throwing their hands up and asking where the Democrat Party he knew went, it shows that there is a bleed that members of the party seem to have no desire to stanch. Anyone who drifts outside of the party's approved grounds is pushed further away by the culture the Democrats have created.
It's not just a culture of hate, it's one of exclusion. Rich, because "inclusion" is one of the left's favorite buzzwords, but when you break down what they mean by "inclusion," what they're really saying is "you better include yourself in our plan, or else." They demand rigorous adherence to the cause du jour, and anyone who falls outside it is a "threat to Democracy," which is the banner they wave to excuse the worst kinds of behavior.
And while high-profile people receive threats, the greatest victims of leftist "inclusion" are people like you and me. We're the ones who have to watch out for violence when speaking up. We're the ones whose businesses are threatened anytime the Democrat Party and the media feel the need to gin up another riot. We're the ones who have our careers threatened for speaking the truth.
There's no room for dialogue. If you have an opinion that doesn't conform, then you're not just to be dismissed, you're to be shut up.
There's no room for the individual in this kind of culture, and if that's the kind of culture the left wants to embrace, then there's no stopping the bleed of support. Unless completely brainwashed, eventually, too many people will find that one event or experience that causes disgust against the Democrat Party, and the Democrats will have nothing to bring them back to the fold because there can be no conversation but the one they allow.
This is a culture of hate, of narrow-mindedness, of isolation, and death.
The Democrat Party cannot survive like this in the long term.
