Charlie Kirk’s assassination revealed something chilling: Democrats and their media allies didn’t mourn; they smirked. MSNBC aired Matthew Dowd’s disgraceful commentary framed Kirk as a man who “spoke hate into existence.” An assistant dean at MTSU openly posted that Kirk “got back what he gave.” Even after apologies and firings, the comments had already been broadcast to millions. The mask slipped — they said what they really thought. And when Republicans asked for a simple spoken prayer in Congress, Democrats booed. They shouted down a call for silence and respect.
Think about that.
The same party that kneels in kente cloth for George Floyd, a convicted criminal high on fentanyl and methamphetamine, couldn’t stand still for Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk wasn’t just another political commentator — he was hugely influential among college students, challenging them to think for themselves. He urged young people to question the propaganda that regularly poured into classrooms and news feeds. He urged them to use science and the Bible as touchstones for truth. His message was simple but powerful: don’t be spoon-fed by corrupt teachers and media — do your own research, test your ideology, and own your convictions.
This is why he was assassinated. He was getting the youth to think for themselves — and not blindly follow the radical Left’s agenda. That made him a threat, not because of violence, but because he was dismantling their control over young minds.
The Pattern of Dehumanization
Democrats didn’t just stop at celebrating Kirk’s death — their entire movement is built on dehumanizing anyone who won’t conform. For years, they have branded conservative voters as “terrorists,” “Nazis,” “racists,” “Hitler’s heirs.” Vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz called federal officers “Gestapo.” In San Diego, Democrat leaders call for violence against federal agents.
They aren’t debating policy. They are teaching their base to hate. They are planting the seed that we conservatives aren’t human, that we deserve whatever happens to us. And once that seed takes root, violence follows.
Even President Biden set the tone. When a Democrat voter dared to challenge one of his false claims, Biden didn’t answer with facts — he mocked the man and challenged him to a push-up contest. Another time, he snapped at a woman on the campaign trail, calling her a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier.” He called voters “fat,” told them they were “full of sh—,” and brushed off real concerns with insults instead of answers. The President attacked individual voters from his own party!
And it didn’t stop with him. Nancy Pelosi labeled Trump supporters “domestic enemies.” Chuck Schumer stood on the steps of the Supreme Court and threatened Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh by name: “You will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you.” Hillary Clinton dismissed conservatives as nothing more than a “basket of deplorables.” AOC calls them fascists.
This is the model: mock, bully, and belittle. From the President down to freshman congresswomen, the Democrat Party treats half the country as if they’re less than human. It’s not politics anymore — it’s humiliation as a weapon.
So much for being “The Party of the People”!
From Words to Violence
When leaders dehumanize voters and their opponents, violence always follows. And the Democrat Party has provided the blueprint.
BLM and Antifa riots left more than 19 people dead, thousands injured, and caused billions in destruction. Businesses were torched, courthouses attacked, and police officers assaulted. The corrupt media called these riots “mostly peaceful.” Democrat leaders and Hollywood elites bailed out rioters — literally paying to put arsonists and looters back on the streets. Kamala Harris herself promoted bail funds for the very people burning American cities.
Supreme Court justices became targets when Democrats encouraged mobs to march on their homes after Roe v. Wade was overturned. Justice Brett Kavanaugh narrowly escaped assassination when a man with a gun and tactical gear was arrested outside his house — after weeks of Democrat rhetoric painting the Court as illegitimate.
Local violence mirrored the national stage. In Los Angeles, mobs waving foreign flags violently attacked federal officers and vandalized property. In Santa Barbara, Councilmember Alejandra Gutierrez received death threats and had her tires slashed after being disowned by the Democrat Party for wanting what was best for the people. Conservative-leaning candidates here were smeared in local rags as “racists” and “rapists.”
This isn’t journalism; it’s divisive propaganda.
Even corporations became targets. When Elon Musk broke ranks with Democrat orthodoxy and helped save taxpayers money by trying to cut waste, fraud, and abuse at the federal level, Tesla owners and dealerships were vandalized, keyed, and set on fire. The mob was told Musk was the enemy, and they acted accordingly. Got that? A private citizen was targeted because he was trying to save taxpayers money.
These aren’t random outbursts. They are the direct fruit of Democrat rhetoric.
“A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit” (Matthew 7:18). Their tree is poisoned, and the fruit is violence.
The Civil War in Santa Barbara
Don’t think for a second this battle is just national. The civil war is here, in Santa Barbara.
When federal agents executed lawful warrants and rescued 14 undocumented, unaccompanied minors — children almost certainly trafficked or forced into labor — our local District Attorney penned his own op-ed calling the raid “xenophobic” and “unjustified.” No mention of the children or the child sex predator and other criminals arrested that day. Months later, our DA still refuses to even acknowledge the children who were rescued.
Whose side is he on?
Not the children’s.
This is how Democrats fight their war here: lies, intimidation, and violence against anyone who dares step out of line.
The Deliberate Strategy
None of this is accidental. The Democrat Party isn’t stumbling into division — it is manufacturing it. They dehumanize conservatives with slurs, incite hatred through their media allies, and then look the other way when their base explodes in violence.
Their goal is simple: provoke conservatives into striking back. They want blood on both sides so they can point to the chaos and demand more power, more control, more surveillance. They want a civil war — not because they think they’ll win it in the streets, but because they think they’ll win it in Washington.
They’ve already shown us the playbook:
Mock half the country as “terrorists” and “Nazis.”
Bail out rioters while smearing law-abiding taxpayers.
Turn local politics into a war zone where candidates are smeared, threatened, and attacked.
Celebrate when a conservative voice like Charlie Kirk is silenced forever.
This is not a democracy, no matter how many times they lie and say it. America is a Republic. And in a Republic, leaders are supposed to answer with facts, not slurs; with policy, not intimidation. But Democrats don’t debate. They manipulate, like Satan in the Garden. They wage psychological warfare that escalates into physical violence.
And here’s the truth Democrats fear the most: conservatives don’t need to answer hate with hate, or violence with violence. The greatest threat to their agenda is exactly what Charlie Kirk preached — a generation that thinks for itself, armed with truth, faith, and conviction.
That’s why they celebrated his death. That’s why they smear, silence, and attack. And that’s why we must keep speaking.

I thought it would be hard to lose friends when I got older and they died off. But watching my Leftist friends turn into zombies is much, much harder.
On the money, Brian. Right out of Saul Alinsky’s playbook. They further divide people based on race, income, religion and sexual orientation.
How many times a day do we hear on the right that we are Nazis, fascists etc.? Hey, here’s one; MANY on the left are Traitors and Atheists. That’s right, they despise our country, mock our faith and seek our downfall as a country.
They typically use tactics of intimidation, bullying, threats of violence, name calling, boycotting, and canceling us professionally, all in order to promote their agenda.
Yes, and public sector unions (SEIU, Teamsters and others) are the enforcement (muscle) arm of the Democrats. When all else fails, they bring in the stormtroopers, AKA Antifa.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was a watershed moment and game changer for many people.
Enough is enough. Time to stand up and speak out against this evil and wicked cabal, just like a 100,000 people did yesterday in Phoenix.
