JACK POSOBIEC: The Left’s Cognitive Dissonance Has Turned To Violence

The Left has lost its mind and can’t find its voice. I should know; I just I came face to face with their bare-knuckle tactics. My offense was pointing out political reality.

Specifically, while appointing a rally held by federal union workers, I called out to one of their speakers, Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, “Jamie, why did you lose the popular vote? Why did you lose all seven swing states?” Immediately, I was pummeled and dragged away by a pair of thugs in the crowd while the rest of them shouted abuse.

I’m not bringing this up to lick my wounds. I’m bringing it up because it’s symptomatic of two wider, disturbing, and deeply related trends on the political Left: namely, their cognitive dissonance and their increasing willingness to resort to fists over facts. Which, frankly, anyone should’ve seen coming. The woke Left can’t win the argument, and they know it. What’s more, because the American people know it, too, the Left’s ability to censor their opposition out of existence is gone. So now, because they can’t use the legal force of government, they’ve gone full gangster.

You have only to look at the behavior they praise to see this in action. I hate to give this more airtime, but look at Taylor Lorenz’s schoolgirl gushing about the cold-blooded murderer Luigi Mangione. Look at the near-sainthood conferred on the bloody murderers, kidnappers, and rapists of Hamas in the once-hallowed halls of Harvard. Look at Democratic leaders making martyrs
