For years, the narrative from the media has been clear: conservatives are the threat. Trump supporters are dangerous. Right-wingers are unstable. But the facts tell a very different story — one that the mainstream press works overtime to ignore.
From street riots to unprovoked acts of vandalism, it’s increasingly clear that many on the Left are not only unhinged — they’re getting violent.
Brooklyn: Mental Health Therapist Targets Tesla with Hate Symbol
The most recent example? A licensed mental health therapist in Brooklyn, Natasha Cohen, was arrested after allegedly vandalizing a Tesla Cybertruck — not with ordinary graffiti, but with a swastika-emblazoned brick. Her explanation? She told police she associates the vehicles with Elon Musk and believes he “salutes the country as a Nazi.”
This isn’t just vandalism. It’s delusional extremism masquerading as political expression — and it’s coming from someone licensed to treat people with mental illness.
The Double Standard on Political Violence
Let’s rewind to the BLM and Antifa riots of 2020. Billions in property damage. Dozens of lives lost. Cities burned. Businesses destroyed. Law enforcement vilified. And how did the Democrats respond? With praise. They called it “mostly peaceful” and bailed out those arrested.
Now contrast that with January 6 — a riot that, while chaotic and unacceptable, resulted in far fewer casualties and far less destruction than the summer of leftist violence we were all supposed to pretend never happened.
Yet one group gets painted as insurrectionists, while the other gets books, interviews, and sympathy.
Political Rage Turned Personal
Unstable leftists haven’t just stopped at property damage. Remember:
- The shooting of Republican Congressman Steve Scalise by a Bernie Sanders supporter at a congressional baseball practice.
- Attacks on conservative speakers at college campuses.
- Harassment of Supreme Court justices and vandalism of crisis pregnancy centers.
These aren’t isolated events. They’re a pattern. And they’re almost always justified or ignored by the political and media class if the attacker leans Left.
A Crisis of Values
What we’re witnessing isn’t just mental instability — it’s a worldview that excuses violence as long as it’s aimed at the “right” targets. If you’re conservative, Christian, pro-life, or simply not woke enough, you’re fair game in their eyes.
It’s a reflection of what happens when ideology replaces morality, and when rage replaces reason. Instead of debate, they scream. Instead of dialogue, they destroy. And instead of civil disagreement, they turn to intimidation.
Conclusion: Enough is Enough
Americans deserve better. We must call this what it is — a pattern of left-wing radicalism that’s increasingly hostile to civil society. It’s time to stop pretending the violence only comes from one side.
Stability, freedom, and the rule of law aren’t just conservative values — they’re American ones. And it’s past time to demand accountability from those who trample them in the name of “progress.”

Yup, lucifer’s vile violent dimmercraps.
Excellent article, Mr. Riley. But I wouldn’t limit it to leftists and Democrats. I’m seeing evidence of RINOs behaving the same way against the grassroots… especially when they don’t get their way.
