It’s official: the Left is pro-terrorism now

In the aftermath of 9/11—the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil—the country was united. We all agreed that terrorism—the use of violence to stoke fear and intimidation to achieve a political or ideological goal—is bad. But in the years since, what should be an obvious accepted truth within any civilized nation has been diluted with doses of supposed nuance, irrelevant context, and shameless political bias.

We saw it in 2020, when hordes of masked criminals took to the streets to “protest” the death of George Floyd (and the subject of racism more broadly) by looting stores, destroying cities, and assaulting law enforcement. But then, at least the American Left—safe behind their security guards and perimeter fences—was subtle, fueling the violence by rebranding it as simply “fiery, but mostly peaceful.”

And during the Biden administration—who was elected (in part) thanks to the chaos that erupted across the nation under the banner of BLM—everything except terrorism became terrorism, and terrorism was suddenly bad again.

Even the phrase “stochastic terrorism”—where political rhetoric was blamed for the violent actions of others—was everywhere, as long as it applied to Republicans. Meanwhile, we were also told that the numerous assassination attempts against President Donald Trump had nothing to do with the media’s years-long attempt to label then-candidate Trump as Adolf Hitler 2.0.

And now that Adolf Hitler 2.0 is in office again, both the gloves and the masks are off. Across the nation, we’ve seen an explosion of open support for terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah—along with definitionally genocidal chants like “globalize the intifada,” “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” and the fan-favorite “kill the Jews”—while politicians such as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer cower in the background and call on university administrators to avoid talking to Republicans. Meanwhile, another bizarre trend is being celebrated by the supposedly anti-terrorism Left: the vandalism and destruction of Tesla vehicles.

Why? Because Elon Musk is…Adolf Hitler 3.0?
