The Left Side of the left-leaning tent is marching in protest just days after the apparent Democratic sweep of the midterms. They are excited about the outcome, but not about who’s taking credit. They don’t want the existing leadership in charge of their new majority.
“We don’t want corporate Dems in there,” one protester told The New York Post. “We’re calling the shots.”
“It’s not enough to just keep the status quo. That’s not what people want,” she said, hoisting her little “New Majority Leader” placard.
This is instructive.
History tells us that we’re the first party to score a trifecta and manage to impose a more socialist doctrine supported by elections as political theater, which, arguably, many are suggesting is what just happened; the people protesting who say “they got them there” would be the first ones up against the wall.
Whether that ultimately proves to be the Schumer’s and Jeffries, the corporate Dems as they say, or the people who want them ousted, remains to be seen. We’re not there yet, but we can see it playing out in real time.
This is what it looks like. Antifa violence, BLM riots, the Marxist Union leadership organizing general strikes. Those are the people; any newly minted one-party state will disappear once they have the power to make it happen.
Until then, it looks like factionalism and intraparty civil war, but unlike the right, the radical left already has the permission structure to engage in violence if it suits them.
Not all of them will think that means violence against each other, but it does. And they have already made it clear that it’s okay to ignore the law if it advances the cause.
