Excerpts:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats may be horrified by today\u2019s attempted massacre of the GOP House baseball team by an avowed progressive, but their incendiary demands for \u201cmassive resistance\u201d since November have been an open plea for the escalation of words into violent action. The daily repetition that President Trump is an illegitimate usurper who stole the election through collusion with foreign powers has been a hypnotic incantation in search of an Oswald: a siren call for an assassin.<\/em><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have to look too hard to find extremist rhetoric from influential people whose appeals for violence are only partially veiled. In March, former attorney general Loretta Lynch made a brief video in which she called for people \u201cwho see our rights being assailed, being trampled on and even being rolled back\u201d to follow the example of freedom fighters of the past. \u201cThey\u2019ve marched, they\u2019ve bled and yes, some of them died. This is hard. Every good thing is. We have done this before. We can do this again.\u201d The Senate Democrats shared Lynch\u2019s call for street action leading to bloody sacrifice on their Facebook page.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the Women\u2019s March on Washington the day after Trump\u2019s inauguration, Angela Davis\u2019s appeal for militancy was met with cheers. \u201cOver the next months and years we will be called upon to intensify our demands for social justice to become more militant in our defense of vulnerable populations,\u201d announced Davis, who in 1970 bought the shotgun used two days later to murder a judge. \u201cThose who still defend the supremacy of white male hetero-patriarchy had better watch out,\u201d she concluded. At the same event, pop legend Madonna spoke about her fantasies of \u201cblowing up the White House.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Liberals frequently complain that conservatives disseminate propaganda to their secretly racist supporters via \u201cdog whistle\u201d tactics, which send the desired message in coded language or gestures. The same liberals have dispensed with high-frequency whistles in favor of a simpler message: \u201cTreason!\u201d Following the now-debunked February 14 New York Times report that Trump\u2019s campaign had been in direct contact with Russian agents before the election, a late-night host commented, \u201cIt\u2019s funny because it\u2019s treason.\u201d Comedian Rosie O\u2019Donnell led an anti-Trump rally outside the White House, declaring, \u201cHe is going down and so will all of his administration. The charge is treason.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Reputable figures in the media have normalized radical, violent discourse. Popular television writer\/producer David Simon tweeted this week, \u201cIf Donald Trump fires Robert Mueller and is allowed to do so, pick up a goddamn brick. That’s all that\u2019s left to you.\u201d Writing in The Nation, Natasha Lennard praised street violence as \u201ckinetic beauty,\u201d and Angelo Carusone, president of Media Matters, exhorted, \u201cDon\u2019t play footsie with proto-fascism. Fucking smash it.\u201d A protestor at a rally in New York City\u2019s Tompkins Square Park held a sign reading, \u201cHug a refugee (with permission); Punch a Nazi (with precision.)\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
