I don’t know whether the letter above, reportedly being sent to Pennsylvania voters, is real or not. There have been so many false flag operations from both sides of the political divide in recent years that it is impossible to tell. But I do know which party is the most desperate, ruthless and without any apparent limits to the depths it will resort to in order to maintain the nation’s lurch toward proto-totalitarianism, censorship and one-party rule.
Now, as it senses Kamala Harris’s ludicrous and incompetent campaign is going to fall short, her party is pretty openly threatening violence if she receives the ballot box thrashing Democrats so richly deserve after four years of incompetence, a puppet President and a Soviet-style palace coup deposing him.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson (don’t get me started on him again), Axis journalist and pundit Mark Halperin asserted that tens of millions of Americans will be so freaked out at the election of Donald Trump to that they will suffer mass collective mental trauma. That, of course, means fury, panic and violence. I have no doubt that he his right. Progressives, Democrats, “the resistance” and the mainstream media have been escalating fear-mongering regarding Trump far, far beyond what it was in 2016, when a previously sane Boston lawyer told me tearfully that she feared for the life of her two-year-old child, so certain was she that the Mad Orange Mogul would lead us into nuclear war.
But now, having nothing positive to justify keeping the White House in Democratic hands, virtually the entire theme of the party’s 2024 campaign is that if Trump wins, it will be the end of democracy, the Third Reich will rise again, “The Handmaiden’s Tale” will come true, the ladies of “The View” will be sent to internment camps, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together…you know:
“They think that fellow citizens supporting Trump is a sign of fundamental evil at the heart of their fellow citizens and the nation,” Halperin intoned. Gee, I wonder why? Sure they do: Halperin and his like have been pushing that unhinged belief for eight years. The despicable, divisive, dangerous strategy (what a surprise that Trump has had two attempts on his life!) alone is reason to vote against Kamala Harris and her Machiavellian party.
Of course there will be violence, and lots of it. This is the metaphorical fire Democrats have been deliberately playing with, gambling with our civic stability that they will prevail so their terrified useful idiots won’t have to hit the streets in the fashion of their pet hate group, Black Lives Matter, only much worse.
Halperin is right that this is what the nation faces though it didn’t take a genius to figure that out; heck, I figured it out moths ago. He has a solution, though, to preserve the peace and avoid disaster. Can you guess what it is (Democrats have floated it before)?
Halperin’s nostrum: Trump must recognize “his responsibility and self-interest” and in choosing “his words and his cabinet and White House appointments and nominations and his initial legislative agenda… minimize the mental health crisis” by governing like a Democrat! Because if he doesn’t, you know, all Hell will break loose. If Republicans know what’s good for them and their country, they will surrender to the mobs and mollify the citizens that the Axis has terrified.
To which the obvious and mandatory responses are:
- Suure. Like that’s going to happen.
- So the theory is that rioting progressives are scarier than rioting conservatives?
- This was the same demand progressive pundits made after the 2000 election, arguing that Bush had an obligation to recognize that he had no mandate and govern accordingly. And it was ludicrous then.
- For a Trump administration to do that to avoid the violence Democrats deliberately seeded with their Big Lies would validate the tactics of the most unethical Presidential campaign in U.S. history.
- Oh, bite me.

Interesting question. In a metaphorical freefall, is “far beyond” fairly measured by the distance of the fall?
“In a metaphorical freefall, is ‘far beyond’ fairly measured by the distance of the fall?”

Uncontrolled implies an indeterminate terminus…yoikes!

I’ve seen this described as a Cluster B personality disorder, masquerading as a political affiliation.
I think we need to determine how widespread this letter campaign may be before we label anything a party tactic. I have serious reservations about this coming from either party. I would not however rule out some whack job from either party doing it if the letter campaign is limited to only a few letters. Conversely, if it is widespread it could originate from an organized but unaffiliated group. In fact, it could originate from neither supporter but could be a device used by an adversarial nation to sow mistrust and hate internally.
Some things just don’t make sense to me. Sending a letter like this to a hard core Trump sign or banner waving person is not going to change his or her mind and would probably make him more likely to vote for Trump. Intimidation letters only work on people believed to be able to be intimidated. Those subject to intimidation do not wear the beliefs on their sleeves in order to avoid confrontation.
If this is a small campaign, I would bet that it originated from someone in the neighborhood that suffers from TDS. I understand the point to say we know where you live as a universal intimidation tactic but the ‘shoot your cat’ reference suggests that the sender may have other personal information about the receiver. It would not make sense to try to intimidate your neighbor if they have the same beliefs as you. If this is the only physical letter that emerges it could have been written by the receiver as a false flag to gain sympathy.
Obviously this is a federal crime that violates a variety of statutes beyond voting rights laws so is the FBI investigating this?
Well, unless it is a false flag, and I raised that possibility, it supports a Democratic candidate, it is threatening violence, and the party involved has been sending the message for years now that Trump is evil and thus supporters of Trump are evil.This is the current culture of the Democratic Party, no? If only ONE such letter was sent to intimidate a Trump supporter, I lay it at the feet of Biden, Harris and this now completely corrupt party. Don’t you?
I saw an ad last night “approved by Harris.” It said that Trump will defy all checks on Presidential power. It says that the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 Project is “Trump’s” (there is literally no evidence that he had any input into that) The narrator says he will pass a national abortion ban. Give Tax breaks to billionaires. Cut Medicare and Social Security benefits. Raise the cost of groceries. It’s pure lies and hysteria, approved by Harris, may be the most outrageously dishonest ad I have ever seen in a Presidential race. It’s BEGGING for responses like that letter.
And a lot of Trump voters are not very engaged or committed. They can be discouraged and intimidated. Why do you think there isn’t a single Trump/Vance sign anywhere in my Alexandria neighborhood, and dozens of Harris signs and anti-Trump signs?
The letter may be a one-off. It may be the product of a lunatic.But it’s entirely the doing of the Democratic Party.
Jack:
I can accept your analysis as probable. I am trying hard not to blame a party for the behavior of a few. Personally, I believe it originated from an organized group – perhaps a pink collar union – that is not directly tied to a given party. The psychological drivers would only be effective on the uncommitted. From that, one would have to know who the uncommitted are and that would require some knowledge of the individual.
You asked me why there are few if any Trump Vance signs in Alexandria. I will give two reasons: DC and its surrounding counties economies rely on big and expanding government. The party most inclined to expand government and employment therein is the Democrat party. Thus most of the people living in Alexandria support Democrats. I would posit that at least 80% of the residents in those areas derive the majority of their income and wealth directly from or only one or two stages removed from direct government spending.
The other reason is that placing a sign in favor of an opposing candidate can lead to social ostracization. This is why I made the comments I did on the issue of political signs in the yard. These signs are indicators of relative social safety. The message they send is that you are not alone. When one group is overwhelmingly represented the minority group keeps their heads down unless they want to show an act of defiance. When the trajectory of your employment can be directly or indirectly affected by those in your social circle the rational response is to say nothing but act as you normally would. That would mean you still vote the way you had planned but you don’t tell anyone. Unfortunately I did not learn that lesson until I felt it necessary to leave my employment at a community college by taking early retirement.
You said “The letter may be a one-off. It may be the product of a lunatic. But it’s entirely the doing of the Democratic Party.” I absolutely agree with this statement.
If they are that vehement about Trump why are they using a Trump 2024 letterhead?
Too subtle for you? It doesn’t say “Make America Great Again,” it says “Save America Again,” like in 2020. The bottom of the letter echoes that.
Yeah, that confused me too.
Maybe he or she used to support Trump but has since seen the light and embraced the evil emp, er Democratic party? You know, the principle that no one is more vehement than a former true believer.
Or maybe, since it only says “Trump” maybe this person is actually talking about Vance.
Really, I have nothing except to say that, if this is real, this person is, once again, projecting his or her known flaws onto Trump and the GOP. Really, he needs some therapy.
Arrgh. It’s an altered Trump logo! “Save America Again.” You know, from Trump. Similarly, the “Live Free of Die” flag is there to tell the recipient, help us live free of Trump or YOU DIE. It’s a little subtle, but it isn’t THAT subtle.
WOW, that’s some pretty grim and detailed predictions about how Mark Halperin thinks the political left will react if Trump wins the election. I’d be really curious what he’d predict will happen if Harris wins; will it give a perceived card-blanche to Trump deranged lunatics to openly persecute Conservatives and Republicans (think brown shirt style persecution) or does he think that Republicans will lose their collective minds and start violent protests and burn cities like the lefty lunatics did a while back? What happens if Harris wins?
I’ve been writing this for a while…
Simply put, right now, I see no positive outcome for this election. I’m voting out all the anti-Constitution Democrats and if that means I have to vote for Republicans that I seriously don’t like, then so-be-it. The Constitution is my ONE ISSUE this election cycle and the Democrats have shown me that they don’t give a damn about the Constitution.
I’m quite passionate about the Constitution.
I’ve Made My Decision, How About You?
I couldn’t stand listening to Halperin’s rant/talking point spout long enough to get to his offered solution to the problem: Trump should govern like a Democrat! Breathtaking hubris. I was afraid you wouldn’t treat this, Jack. I thought you’d just say, “Ugh, Halperin’s a hack” and let it go. It struck me as the launch of another orchestrated Dem talking point campaign which is nothing more than felonious extortion: “Nice little society you got there. It would be too bad for anything to happen to it.”
There is value in watching the entire interview that’s discussed in this post.

The letter is garbage, it’s got at least two grammatical errors, the spacing between paragraphs is uneven, and it doesn’t seem to be sure whether it’s being written by an individual or on behalf of a group. The one thing it has going for it is a little bit of shock from going from false pleasantry at the beginning to out-and-out hate and profanity at the end.
A lot of the content is yawn-worthy, it’s just a rehash of the same tired talking points we’ve been hearing in some cases for over a year: Trump’s a felon, Trump’s a threat to democracy, etc., if you support him, you must hate everyone who’s different, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is nothing we didn’t already hear. It’s not going to sway anyone, least of all a Trump voter this late in the game, and if the writer had a functioning brain, he would know that. The statement that if Trump wins government will be in anyone’s business is laughable, the GOP has been against increased government in anyone’s business since the days of Reagan. “Government’s role is to protect people, not run their lives,” remember?
After that is where this letter takes a sharp left turn into criminality. We know where you live, we know this, we know that, and if you don’t play ball, bad things can happen. Ironically, in the very next paragraph, the writer talks about getting with the clergy and learning what morality is all about, before it finishes with another naked threat.
Morality? I’m pretty sure most moralities are against this kind of behavior. I seem to remember Christianity saying something about “love thy neighbor” or something to that effect. I also remember the signs that say loving your neighbor includes your gay neighbor, your poor neighbor, your Muslim neighbor, your neighbor who is here illegally, etc., but didn’t say a thing about your conservative neighbor, your neighbor who wears a badge, etc.
The temptation is to respond in kind. It’s pretty easy to do.
Dear Neighbor,
Thank you for your note of concern regarding the political process and associated violence that may result in the coming election. It’s nice to know that there are those concerned enough to make sure everyone else knows what they think everyone else should do and how everyone else should vote, and so confident that this is the right thing to do that they threaten those who might dare to think otherwise.
Your party has done nothing over the last almost four years but make a mess of this country and all it’s supposed to be and then lie about it, like the citizens of this country are all idiots who will simply accept those lies. Your party foisted a candidate on this country who you knew damn well wasn’t up to the job and took advantage of a deadly virus to hide him in the basement. Your party then spent years hiding his decline and incapacity from this country and accusing anyone who dared to call you out on this of lying and faking until all the stars lined up and the worst thing happened at the worst possible time. Your mask was ripped away in front of the whole world and everyone saw your candidate as the dementia patient he is, who, like Swift’s Struldbruggs, forgets what he has said before he finishes saying it. Your response to that was to shove him off the stage while forcing him to say he was going offstage for the good of the nation (you didn’t give a damn about that, you just knew he was going to lose), leaving us adrift with no one at the helm, while pushing a candidate to the front that no one voted for, and that clearly no one wanted the last time out and try to do the same with her, hide her from the voters while ginning up hate against the other candidate.
You also abused the legal system by bringing multiple coordinated political prosecutions against your main opponent in carefully chosen jurisdictions where he did not have a prayer in the world of getting a fair trial as well as civil cases designed to ruin him financially. You thought everyone else would just go right along with this because your opponent was such a bad guy, after all, you told everyone that yourselves.
However, it never seemed to dawn on you that the same tactics that worked when the nation was already shaken by a deadly virus and civil unrest that you helped stir up might not work on a nation where you’ve been in charge for four years and have nothing to show for it but massive inflation, runaway cost of living, and governmental bullying. You also took the gamble that you’d be able to keep your candidate out of sight just long enough for her to get safely elected and no one would notice. However, enough leaked out to prove that she’s not up to the job, especially the statement that she wouldn’t change a thing over the past four years.
You won’t admit it, because you can’t, but the media-run polls are starting to move pretty decisively in the wrong direction for you with just shy of two weeks for you to do anything about it. I’m guessing your internal polling is telling you there isn’t very much you CAN do about it in the time left, when your bag of tricks is just about empty, and you are increasingly likely to come up short this time out. There’s nothing worse than that kind of feeling. We’ve all been there, the time the other team kicks that field goal that puts a comeback out of reach, the time we get the test back that tells us there’s no chance of getting a good grade this semester, you get the idea.
Some say violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, but I say violence is the last resort of those who can’t get what they want any other way, competent or not. Now you’re there, telling me you know where I live and doing everything but telling me outright that you’re coming for me if I don’t fall in line. It might surprise you to know this, but I know where to find you too. I love my family, my pets, the possessions I’ve worked hard to accumulate, and the life I’ve built, and I may not wait for you to harm them before I decide to take preemptive action to prevent you from doing that. You believe you have some form of unique right to resort to violence when things don’t go your way or when you feel strongly enough about something. That right isn’t unique to you, and you shouldn’t count on a pandemic or oppressive government measures or the death of a lifetime felon while resisting arrest to keep us cowed this time out.
You need to rethink your attitude and rethink your approach. Your approach is seen as threatening me, and you threaten me at your own risk of some very bad things, “motherfucker.” You have been warned.
That’s a pretty solid response, sir!!
