Late liberal author and Village Voice writer James Ridgeway once remarked, perhaps admiringly: "Democrats are the meanest sons of bitches I've ever come across." Recent years' grisly happenings have validated Ridgeway's pronouncement to an ubermalicious degree, unimagined when he spoke those words.

A recent meme asked: "If Trump is a hatemongering, evil man like the media constantly tells us, then why aren't his followers the ones killing cops, destroying property, looting stores, assaulting innocent passersby..."

While musing over that valid question, consider this:

In dirty precincts, lawbreaking and hatred of our country are selling features. Brutality has become woke Democrats' native tongue. 

Remember that then-Vice President Kamala Harris encouraged nationwide bail donations for rampaging thugs properly arrested during 2020's George Floyd riots.

Recall, too, pedestrians and police were violently attacked in that rancid episode; an estimated two billion dollars' worth of destruction was perpetrated across America; and criminal hordes thronged American streets. They spewed poison, torched neighborhoods, and generally wrought animalistic fury against civilized order.

Other familiar examples include two attempted assassinations of President Trump; the savage murder of Christian conservative Charlie Kirk; and numerous mass shootings (including in schools) perpetrated by "trans" deviants.

Making headlines are ragged mob efforts to prevent officers from upholding duly enacted immigration statutes. These crude and criminal bids are cultivated by unscrupulous, rabble-rousing politicos. Elected liberals like J.B. Pritzker, Brandon Johnson, Gavin Newsom, and Karen Bass are among those inciting obstruction of American law enforcement. 

Last month brought elected Democrats' videotaped encouraging of soldiers and intelligence personnel to perpetrate insurrectionist wrongdoing. Soon thereafter, the guilty office-holders were dubbed the "Seditious Six." 

Their subversive stuntery doubtless had several fathers, including election-tactical and propagandistic ones. In the present, foul Mamdani atmosphere, ballot advantage of a sort can be got by appealing to increasingly unsavory progressive voters.

In a Truth Social rejoinder, President Trump wrote: "THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK. IT WASN’T, AND NEVER WILL BE! IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME. THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!"

Contemporary crusading away from classical liberalism and toward communistic barbarity surely shakes the resolve of honest long-term Democrats. Even a James Ridgeway might create a reproachful meme.
