The Democrats’ Empty Threats of Oppression

Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter

The left has decided that, if they ever take power again, they’re going to launch another pogrom against conservatives, but this time they’re going to be even more ruthless than the last time. Arrests, prosecutions, even killings, all directed at us, are on the table because we are the designated bad people. That’s why they call us Nazis, because it’s OK to kill Nazis, and in fact, they are morally obligated to do so. You’re seeing this crazy talk more and more lately, and if it wasn’t so potentially deadly – mostly for the people doing the threatening – it would be hilarious. The sight of the Soros-shrimping district attorney in Philadelphia announcing that he’s going to hunt down ICE agents and those who love them no doubt provides a rich bounty of onanistic pleasure for the evil and stupid mouth breathers of the left, but pulling it off is another matter.

So, let’s look at the mechanics of what might happen, assuming they win in 2028 and have the power of the feds at their disposal again. We weren’t really prepared for what they would do in the aftermath of the 2020 election, when they conspired to frame President Trump and many others, as well as persecute the J6 heroes – oh wait, I thought people who violently protested (though most J6ers walked around taking selfies) were heroes. Anyway, we’re now very aware of the potential for the kind of oppression they are pleasuring themselves at the thought of, and experience has stiffened the spines of many (though certainly not all) conservatives. This time, we will be much more ready, mentally and physically, to deal with them, trying to make their fascist fantasies come true.

Let me give you the short version of how this is going to work – it’s not going to work out the way they hope. And they’ll be lucky if it doesn’t spark the kind of chaos that they’re just not going to come back from. Keep in mind, as we examine this issue, exactly who has the guns, the training, and the testosterone.

I like our odds.

Now, the first line of defense is political. Even if we lose the presidency, we might have the House or the Senate. That’s a roadblock right there, but the Democrats might not have the stomach for the big talk of their media loudmouths. A lot of folks on the left would love to try to take vengeance on the majority of Americans who are normal for the crime of intentionally participating in their own governance, but not all Democrats would be down for that. To win the 2028 election, while there is a huge advantage to being the craziest guy in the primaries, the candidate who can promise to bring what passes for normality back would have an edge in the general.

Now, that was President Eggplant’s strategy – or, rather, the strategy of the people who manipulated President Eggplant – and he certainly didn’t abide by that. But a Democrat administration in 2028 will have to deal with the fact that the American people are not looking for the persecution of Republicans – Exhibit A would be the guy sitting in the Oval Office right now, who was helped rather than harmed by Democrats’ incessant and ham-handed attempts to frame him. So, the first line of defense is manned (excuse the misgendering) by Democrats, and it’s entirely possible a new Democrat administration will buck those baying for blood and focus on ruining America in different ways besides jailing the GOP opposition.

But don’t bet on that. It’s a possibility, but it’s not a certainty. Don’t rely on them, putting political savvy ahead of leftist bloodlust to forgo your duty to buy guns and ammunition.

The next problem for pulling off their scheme is the law, such as it is. We have to take into account the fact that Democrat federal court judges ignore the law whenever it’s inconvenient, but the law still exists to some extent. Well, at least it would exist until they end the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court, but that would be an escalation that would make the law irrelevant. At that point, we would probably see things settled under US Code Section 5.56.

But let’s assume that the law still has some effect. No one’s going to get charged because they’ll all be immune. Trump’s going to pardon everybody. And by “everybody,” I mean everybody. If you’re an ICE agent, you’re going to get a pardon. If you work for the DOJ, you’re going to get a pardon. Everybody’s going to get a pardon. These will be mass pardons, and they’ll be very broad. They may even exempt some people from accountability for real wrongdoing. Oh well. That cost is far outweighed by the benefit of protecting patriotic Americans from lawless communist retribution.

There will be groups pardoned as a whole, like the aforementioned immigration officers, but also individuals by name. Right now, there should be a guy in the White House Counsel’s office keeping an Excel spreadsheet of people to pardon. It’s not because they’ve done anything wrong – we’ll talk about that in a second – but because they’ve been mentioned by the regime media or otherwise drawn the ire of the communists and might be a target. Naturally, the feminine Fredocons will cry like little girls about the destruction of the norms that mass pardons would represent, as if threats of mass prosecution for simply pursuing the policies that voters elected Trump to pursue did not constitute treating the norms like America treated Nagasaki.

Trump, unlike the Never Trumpers, understands loyalty, and he’s totally going to do it. Pardons are a huge logistical hurdle, but this tactic is not entirely foolproof. It can be overcome when the 20 new diverse BIPOC, gender-fluid, differently-abled, Māori Muslims of heft on the expanded Supreme Court decide that there’s a little-known exception to the pardon power in the Constitution for when Trump uses it.

Then there’s another obstacle – what crime are you going to charge these people with? Traditionally, you can only charge people when there’s an actual crime, and you can prove all the elements of a violation of the applicable statute. That didn’t stop Jack Smith and the Democrats’ DAs after 2020. Regular people seem to skip over this part a lot, too, including on our side. Some dipwad judge rules that an ax-murdering Bolivian must be set free from deportation, and he goes on an ax-murdering spree, and our people demand that this judge be sent to jail. There’s a problem. Being a crappy communist judge is not a crime.

And that’s a problem for the leftists, too. You have all sorts of leftists screaming that the right-wingers should be prosecuted, but what crime have they committed? I guess they could charge the heroes who shot the woman trying to run them over, or the armed spazz who got in a fight with them, with murder, but those officers are getting pardoned by name already, and even if they didn’t, there’s a whole bunch of defenses. But what do you charge Stephen Miller with? Criminally being mean? Felony refusal to obey the libs? Not being a leftist with malice aforethought? Of course, when they convene their own Nuremberg trials for Republicans who dared exercise power after being elected to office, they probably won’t be so picky about technicalities like charging people under specific laws. After all, when you do that, the defendant has a chance to defend himself, and they don’t want that.

So, let’s look at the practicalities of prosecuting patriots. Assuming they’re not going to be bound by common sense, the law, or self-preservation – because this will not end well – what happens? President Kamala Harris decides she’s going to prosecute ICE officers for the crime of being ICE officers, and there are a bunch of them in Florida, and… how do you think that’s going to go? I mean, putting aside the challenge of talking a bunch of federal agents into arresting other federal agents for the crime of being federal agents, how do you go into Florida and arrest them? We saw in Minnesota state officials covering for actual criminals; expect non-femme Republican governors to act to protect patriots. Do you think Governor Ron DeSantis’s successor is going to be cool with Dem persecutions? Do you think normal people will be cool with the Dem persecutions?

Look at what happened in Minnesota. A bunch of commie misfits showed up with a bunch of phone cameras and the occasional pistol, which we have now learned is every American’s absolute right to bring along to a situation where they intend to get sideways with the cops. Imagine, instead of 30 misfits blowing whistles, that you have 30 guys with their AR-15s – I don’t think that a mandatory AR-15 buyback is going to be successful, if you get my drift. That kind of raises the stakes. If you are a federal officer intent on arresting fellow federal officers to do Kamala Harris’s will, you’re going to have to ask yourself if that’s worth your life. Remember, the targets here are people who are trained to fight – all this blather about the ICE agents being untrained is ridiculous because they performed exactly as they were trained to do when somebody tries to run them over or brings a gun to a brawl. And their friends will be trained, too.

Remember, at the end of the day, government is about force. If you don’t obey, people with guns come. The challenge is the other people with guns whom you’ve attempted to disenfranchise and persecute. And, after watching the lawlessness of the last 10 years, from the BLM riots to the murder of Charlie Kirk and the attempted murders of President Trump to the organized attack on immigration forces in Mogadishu, the right fully understands the stakes.

Perhaps the right will shrug and agree to live as serfs under the teetering heel of a president like Kamala Harris and her coterie of communist cadres. I just don’t think I’d bet my life on that.
