Conditioned for Violence

We Must Bring Light Into the Darkness

Recently, I received a series of violent, graphic, and highly specific death threats directed at both me and my family. This is far from the first time but considering the surge of political violence in our country, this shouldn’t shock anyone. Yet almost no one ever hears about it when it happens to conservatives. Thousands of ordinary Americans now face threats, doxing, swatting, or worse simply for their political opinions. These incidents are rarely reported and quickly forgotten. How many more of us have to be terrorized before it’s taken seriously?

It seems that today people are conditioned to accept violence against others. As long as the victims of the violence are framed as irredeemably evil, subhuman, demonic, or an existential threat to some off the wall value system.

After all, these are the people who defend abortion with the argument “my body my choice”. Then turn around and supported the vaccine mandates during the Covid plandemic. You see now why the ones in charge hate critical thinking so much. It would end their control over the people.

It is a culture of violence but of acceptance of violence is the real problem.

Once the label “evil” sticks, fists, bullets, bombs, and even gas chambers stop feeling like crimes and the perpetrator sleeps soundly. Convinced they are cleansing the world rather than staining it. They become so subverted that they are unable to see a culture of violence. Instead they see a culture of justice.

Useful idiots don’t ask for evidence, only permission. Once permission is granted through the simple act of framing the other as evil, the violence that follows is not seen as a moral failure but as a moral duty. This cult of violence is able to hide in plain sight while wearing a mask of virtue. They validate their hate with the comforting lie that they only hurt those who deserve it.

How easily they hate while they claim to love. Often times these “individuals” are part of a group that instructs them on what to think and what to say. Ironically, they dedicate themselves to cultist thinking while accusing others of being in a cult.

Political groupthink is a mental and social abnormality where members of a group prioritize consensus and blind loyalty over critical thinking. This leads to flawed decisions, irrational beliefs, and the suppression of opposing views.

Those who have signed onto this way of thinking are typically not able to or unwilling to listen to opposing views. They instead crave confirmation bias that will validate their group’s opinions. Right or wrong doesn’t matter, only group think. These opinions are not the individuals. Rather they are the groups’ directives that the individual has absorbed as their own. No questions asked. No critical thinking applied. Only mindless obedience.

Group members who consistently regurgitate the narratives as instructed feel informed or virtuous. In reality they are simply puppets who don’t know they are puppets.

Their lies have an effect on people. Those are the same tactics used by Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, who said, “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes accepted as truth.” If they continue to repeat lies about us, enough of the people will come to believe it. This creates an extremely dangerous situation for the American people.

Goebbels was the “Chief Propagandist” for Nazi Germany. He knew that the most powerful propaganda contains some half-truths but lies are a necessary ingredient in all propaganda. You cannot make propaganda without some sort of lie meant to get a desired result.

It also needs a delivery system. Enter the useful idiot. The useful idiot is someone who blindly spreads propaganda for a group without understanding its true goals, and who is exploited by the very people they defend.

That is exactly what we’re seeing. Thousands of accounts, some with large followings, repeat every accusation, every doctored screenshot, every conspiracy theory as though it were gospel. They attack us, dox us, threaten us, and celebrate every new wave of violence against us, all while idolizing the puppet masters who profit from the chaos. They believe they’re fighting “evil” while never realizing, or caring, that they are simply tools meant to be thrown away once the goals of the puppet masters are reached.

When you tell an audience of thousands or millions day after day, week after week that certain named individuals or whole groups are a direct threat to children, your way of life, your faith, or the country itself. You are planting seeds of real-world violence. History proves that if you repeat a big enough lie long enough, many people will believe it. Some people will eventually act on it.

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it,” Joseph Goebbels said.

We’ve already seen beatings, doxing, swatting, death threats, and assassinations. There have been attempts to get people fired, and violent strangers showing up at private family homes. It is only a matter of time before one of the more unhinged followers decides to take matters into their own hands again.

It shouldn’t be dangerous to be a vocal conservative in America. We shouldn’t have to worry about the safety of our families because of our opinions. I have noticed in the last few years it has gotten worse. I believe the left has felt their power slipping away as the people wake up. So they are running out of options and when that happens intimidation becomes a viable option. One of the few remaining.

The media, social media, and politicians spew lies in order to motivate the people through fear or hate. When some unhinged fan strikes out in violence, those very people will, of course, disavow any responsibility. They’ll say, “We never told anyone to hurt them” or “People should remain peaceful,” while continuing to pour gasoline on the fire for clicks and donations. However moral and potentially legal accountability doesn’t vanish just because you phrase your calls to action in winks and dog-whistles.

A decade of nonstop lies and painting targets on our backs. A decade of cultivating an audience that now genuinely believes Conservatives are monsters. Those who keep spreading the slander on social media aren’t just trolls or misguided keyboard warriors. Many of them have become useful idiots in the most dangerous sense of the term. Willing tools who may end up with blood on their hands while the real instigators walk away laughing, pockets full, claiming they never meant for any of this to happen.

We won’t forget who said what, who amplified what, and who chose rage-bait over truth for a decade straight. When, not if, this escalates further, the receipts will still be there.

In the meantime it is important that those of us on the right understand. We are being villainized so that violence against us can be validated and made to seem acceptable in the eyes of the subverted. It isn’t only the big names that are in danger. They are just the ones that briefly catch headlines.

In this perilous world, we must unite to push back against the encroaching darkness. We can hold differing views, but violence and threats must never be tolerated—from anyone.

Join us, alongside millions of Americans who continue to place country above all, guided by integrity and honor.

We will not be silenced by intimidation.
We will not be cowed into submission.
We will speak truth and engage in honest debate, even if it invites threats or violence. I would rather die standing for truth than live on my knees censoring myself out of fear.
How about you?
