This story from Illinois:
Bernie Sanders supporters stalk, harass Democratic congressional candidate
A handful of democratic socialists who support Senator Bernie Sanders for president stalked Democrat Betsy Dirksen Londrigan outside of a campaign event in Champaign on Monday night and attempted to block her car from leaving the event.
“It was a non-violent protest,” Smith wrote, “and if Betsy can’t handle a few people demanding a conversation about the life or death issues facing many of is [sic] in this district, she should quit now because she will not be able to handle Davis and Trump.”
It was “non-violent” in that nobody was hurt. It was physically intimidating and borderline threatening. Blocking somebody in is not the first step in a peaceful conversation.
Watch:
Right now, they are doing this to other Democrats in Blue states. Other Democrat primary candidates are the primary threat to them and they can generally get away with this sort of stuff in Blue states where the police go soft on Leftist thuggery and Democrats are unarmed.
Once the Primaries are over, what do you think will happen next?
Hitler was elected with the help of his Brown Shirts (Sturmabteilung) and Mousilini was elected with the help of his Black Shirts (Milizia Volontaria per la Sicurezza Nazionale). Stalin had the NKVD and a whole bunch of unofficial thugs to do his bidding.
American Democratic Socialists are borrowing from the great socialist tradition of getting what they want with goon squads.
Places like Alabama, where the district I live in is R+18, are probably not going to see much violence since a little thuggery might not turn the tide of an election.
What I fear is that swing districts are going to be targeted with hard violence by the Left, where any little bit of intimidation and violence that scares moderate Republicans away from the polls will make a difference.
One of the key rules in riots is not to stop when the mob tries to make you. Keep rolling. If the bad guys want to improve the species by not getting out of the way, that’s fine.
Just wait until the DNC screws Bernie out of the nomination with super delegates. Milwaukee is gonna be LIT!
Bernie’s senior staffers already announced plans for that some weeks or months ago.
The actions of children.
I dont think republican areas will see much of this crap. MOST republican areas are well armed areas. Even here in Maine where there is lots bernie bros they dont pull this shit
Then again, some guy in NH got arrested for slapping a teenage boy (at the recent primary) for wearing a MAGA hat. The kid’s father either wasn’t armed or applied more restraint than I would have.
