I’m a father... ...and I just watched Virginia elect as its TOP LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, a man who wished for his conservative opponent to be assassinated, and for his kids to die too. Democrats KNEW IT and chose him anyway. I can’t shake what this means going forward... 🧵

This wasn't a vague “tone was too harsh” moment. This was an EXPLICIT, written fantasy about killing a political opponent and their children over politics. And a MAJORITY of Democrats looked at that, weighed it, and said: "we’re fine with this." Think about that for a second.

Somehow Democrats have created a new normal in politics. Apparently the new norm is: Political violence is unthinkable… unless it’s aimed at the “right” people. Then it’s “regrettable,” “out of character,” and “time to move on.” ...we saw it with Charlie Kirk too

We need to be very honest: Democrats did NOT accidentally miss this... They decided that openly fantasizing about killing your opponent and their children is… ...not a dealbreaker for them. That the RIGHT is more dangerous than electing an assassination-culture candidate.

Once a party decides that wishing death on political enemies and their families is not a dealbreaker, something fundamental has completely snapped. That’s bigger than one race. That’s an entire party saying: “Winning matters more than ANY line we have to cross to get there.”

If a conservative candidate had been caught saying the same thing about a liberal opponent, their career would have ended IMMEDIATELY. We all know this. The media would have talked about it NONSTOP. The Right would have condemned him. He would be gone. Forever.

But when the TARGET is a conservative, the script changes: “He was emotional.” “He apologized.” “This is being weaponized.” “Republicans pounce.” The message is clear: Safety matters ONLY PEOPLE WHO AGREE WITH ME. The other side doesn’t deserve ANY safety. Do you get it now?

This is what dehumanization looks like in real time. You spend years calling your opponents “Nazis,” “fascists,” “enemies of democracy”… Then one of your own fantasizes about KILLING them, and MILLIONS of Democrats shrug and say: “Yeah, he went too far… but I kinda get it.”

You don’t need a majority of people to pick up a weapon. You just need a majority to stop CARING when someone else talks about doing it. That’s the stage we’re flirting with now.

Their decision told every future candidate: You can say unspeakable evils. You can fantasize about killing your opponents and their children. But if you are a Democrat, you’ll still have a shot at power. That’s the precedent now. And it WILL NOT stay contained to one race.

I don’t have a tidy Hallmark ending to this. I honestly don’t know where we go from here. When wishing death on your political enemies and their kids still isn’t enough to keep you from becoming the top law enforcement officer in a state... where EXACTLY is the line? All I know is this: If Democrats can see that, shrug, and move on because “our side” won, then something is deeply broken. Perhaps totally unfixable If we have any shot at all at fixing the country... ...it starts with DEMOCRATS who are willing to say, “No, I cannot support someone like that,” even if it means losing a race. Because if we can’t draw the line here... I don’t know that we have any lines left at all.
