How Democrats stir bigotry and division

At the end of this second decade of the new millennium, it’s natural to draw up our lists indicating our favorite movies, music and draw up our prognostications about what last year’s polls mean about this year’s politics. Yet, strangely and horrifically, the last month of 2019 provides the best overall predictor for what’s ahead in 2020.

The epidemic of attacks on Jewish people in New York City and the tri-state area is not an acute, unpredictable event, but a horrific outgrowth of Democratic Party and liberal establishment attitudes and policies. The bizarre inability of Democratic leadership to admit their culpability in the spread of anti-Semitism is not surprising.



The constant effort by the Democrats is focused on reinforcing their preferred narrative, that “white supremacism” is the scourge America is facing and President Trump is the leader of that menacing monster.It is this narrative that is to take precedence over everything, even if it means serving up a completely bogus explanation of what is happening and why. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Michigan Democrat, exposed this habitual narrative reaction to an event that transcends partisanship and horrifies every decent person — the anti-Semitic attack earlier in December on a Jersey City kosher supermarket.

“This is heartbreaking. White supremacy kills,” Ms. Tlaib declared in the since-deleted tweet. The suspects, in fact, were revealed to be African American, and part of the so-called Black Hebrew Israelites, who subscribe to an extreme anti-Semitism. Even knowing who the attackers were didn’t stop Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, from deflecting and spinning.

Erielle Davidson at the Federalist noted, “When questioned about the attack on the Jersey City kosher supermarket earlier this month, Mayor de Blasio ignored the motivations of the perpetrators, who belonged to a radical left-wing fringe group known as the Black Hebrew Israelites. Instead, he deflected in a bizarre maneuver, opting to discuss the scourge of white supremacy and private militias.”

James Higgins, the organizer of “The Monday Meeting,” the center-right coalition in New York, noted on Twitter, “Might it be that progressive encouragement of ‘The Squad’ and of BDS is a dog whistle that has sent anti-Semitic hate crimes in New York City up 53% in one year?” Might it, indeed.

There has been a hate crime against Jews every day in New York since Dec. 23, also the second day of Hanukkah. Any normal person, upon seeing their rhetoric targeting Jewish people manifesting in this manner would sit back in self-reflection, horrified at the result and contemplating how to stop the madness.

But not the Democrats. Instead, after the machete attack on the rabbi’s house on Dec. 28, the seventh night of Hanukkah, in Monsey, New York, the reaction among many public and leading Democrats was like a template: Yes, they would lament the rise in hate crimes against Jews, but hey, don’t look over here, it’s because of that bad evil orange man in Washington, D.C.

Mr. de Blasio sat down for an interview with Fox News’ Ed Henry the day after the Monsey attack. What viewers saw was a master class in the idiotic art of deflection as he blamed the “tone” coming out of Washington, including from the president. Bethany Mandel a contributor to the Washington Examiner, had perhaps the most illuminating response to this disgusting effort:

“Those who reflexively blame President Trump for any and all attacks, no matter how unrelated his administration, actions, or rhetoric are, have made a conscious choice: They would rather play politics than put an end to the violence. And worse, it seems they would like it to continue, in order to have more ammunition against the White House leading up to the 2020 election.”

The frenzy to gaslight Americans into not believing their own eyes is not limited to the attacks on Jewish people. California Gov. Gavin Newsom continues to try to blame Mr. Trump and the federal government for the continuing collapse of civil society in California. Homelessness, drug use, tent cities, human excrement on the sidewalks and crime now define that previously great state.

Medieval diseases such as typhus, typhoid fever, in addition to outbreaks of hepatitis A and tuberculosis, stalk the people of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Officials have recently issued concern that conditions could invite a return of the plague. It’s all Bad Orange Man’s fault, they tell us. We shake our heads and wonder what it will take for Democrats to admit their policies are failures and destroy people’s lives.

Then there’s Baltimore, where despair, drugs and violence continue to condemn its residents.

“Baltimore could wrap up 2019 with its highest per-capita homicide rate on record as killings of adults and minors alike for drugs, retribution, money or no clear reason continue to add up and city officials appear unable to stop the violence,” The Associated Press reported.

As National Review put it, “Baltimore, a once-great American city, has all but imploded thanks to decades of corrupt leadership, crime, and the progressive policies now trumpeted by Democratic presidential hopefuls as solutions to the country’s cultural and economic divisions.”

Whether it be New York, California, Baltimore or any other liberal city and state, these realities prove one thing: Policy and leadership matter. So one must ask: Why do the Democrats in these cities continue to deny the truth? Perhaps it’s because the only thing they value is their own power, to be preserved at any cost.

Advanced university degree (Master’s degree or equivalent degree) in disarmament affairs, is that a thing?

The bizarre inability of Democratic leadership to admit their culpability in the spread of anti-Semitism is not surprising.

If they were to admit their contribution, they would have to take action to end their promotion and encouragement of anti-Semitic violence. This would involve making their anti-Semitic radicals in their party, including those in Congress, be responsible for their actions. Democrats fear this would cost them support; see, even a racist vote is still a VOTE and they will welcome all racists, socialists, anti-Semites and fascists into their fold… all welcome under their “big tent”.

The left has accused, without a lick of evidence, that Republicans are spreading hate and violence. They use their false accusations as an excuse and justification to unleash their own unbounded and unrestricted hatred and violence. Trump incites their hatred by appearing. He IS, so they HATE. Trump has made no statements or taken any actions that in and of themselves incite anything; simply because the left doesn’t LIKE anything but leftism they are “incited”.

Of course, it also serves their political purpose to blame everything on Trump, but addressing the problem within themselves would mean taking responsibility for bad behavior and the Democrats are NOT famous for that.
