Violence committed by leftist groups exponentially grew as a form of opposition to the election of Donald Trump in 2016 and picked up speed with the emergence of Black Lives Matter (BLM) in 2020, founded by self-described Marxists and ANTIFA, the very violent, decentralized federation of anarchists and Marxists.
A Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) joint report revealed that far-leftist groups represent the greatest danger of domestic terrorism in the country today. These groups are well-financed by wealthy philanthropists, often called ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) donors, such as the American-born Sri Lankan-Cuban Neville Singham, who lives in Shanghai, China, with his wife, a co-founder of “Code Pink,” a far-left women’s activist group that harassed the Bush-43 administration.
The money also comes from myriad far-left organizations, which receive generous donations from foundations, 501 (c) (3) s, and other nonprofits (in name only). These organizations themselves, which filter money down to activist groups, are well funded by other UHNWs like George Soros’s Tides Foundation and the Open Society Institute. Some of the money for organizing protests and paying protesters also comes from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that favor Democratic Party causes.
Besides a propensity to violence, one of the biggest problems with Leftists is that anyone who challenges their belief system in anyway, it’s automatically perceived as an existential threat. If you look at their belief system, whether it’s intersectionality, transgenderism, or any of the structures of oppression on minorities by predominantly, a white majority, they don’t actually have any logical or reasonable underpinnings, so the only way the left can defend their beliefs is by shutting down people who don’t agree with them because if you have a reasonable, rational argument, their world view crumbles.
The Leftists’ worldview is built on fallacious logic, on just assertions without any basis in fact or reality. That’s why the left has to shut down dissenting views and label anymore that challenges their belief system as Nazis and Fascists. And if deemed necessary, which more often than not is, by use of violence.
The blatantly obvious plan here with the orchestrated and paid-for anti-CBP/ICE protests is to create enough chaos and pandemonium to tilt the midterm elections away from the Republicans, and if this happens, the level of pain the Democrats will unleash upon the country will test the sanity of America’s conservative majority.
