Radicalization.
That is the real goal of the left's "resistance". Rep. Maxine Waters is a clown, profiting from the attention. But the ideological left has used the immigration debate, as it's used every previous manufactured controversy, to push the Democrats toward extremism and violence.
The two are intertwined.
What is the Red Hen argument really about? We live in a time of crisis. And in the face of this crisis of caged children, dead black men and all the usual trappings of fragile victimhood, there is no room for business as usual. Especially tone policing matters like civility.
A vocal rejection of civility is of course a call to violence. The slippery slope gets greased. And then it's a small matter to go from harassment to assault. That's what the left wants.
Some conservative commentators are saying that the left hasn't thought this through. Sure they have. The grad student working on some bottom rung of the D.C. career ladder before getting bombed and joining some anarchist protest may not have thought it out, but the guys and girls pushing the buttons have.
What they want is to wreck America, go full Weimar, move to street violence, and then, by persuasion or force, impose their own system to deal with the emergency. What better way to trash most of the forms of government, the Constitution, checks and balances, than by burning everything down.
The excuses, border separation, police shootings, etc are just excuses for that endgame. They're propaganda to achieve an end.
We got here because all the brakes came off the left's train. It beat its liberal opponents. And now it's going to scream endlessly that everyone on the right is a Nazi because that justifies its intended violence. And that violence is intended to further radicalize everyone to the left.
Civility? Please.
The whole purpose is an overthrow of the existing order in the name of a political emergency. It's what every totalitarian system does. Set off violence, then seize power. The left doesn't have good odds of pulling it off. But the Dem leadership is incapable of controlling them. Or preventing them from wrecking its electoral plans.
Once you surrender to the left, it calls the shots. And what it wants isn't just President Kamala Harris, it wants a revolution.
