"When you teach your supporters to hate and to fear, and when you silence your opposition with political correctness you reveal yourselves as totalitarian thugs."

Christopher Chantrill asks at American Thinker,

What is going on here?

I will tell you. There is one word for it: intellectual terrorism.

And leftist intellectual terrorism has two parts. The first part is the shut up the opposition; the second part is to fill the supporters with hate and fear.

...The fact is that everything you liberals wanted to do, except rebuild America’s bathrooms to suit a more transgendered sensibility, is done -- and it probably could have been done without all the intellectual terrorism inspired by Karl and Fritz and Max and Ted and Herb, scaring the pants off the victims and silencing the bourgeoisie. So you can take your street armies and your racist BLMs and La Razas and your segregated dorms, your “Studies” degrees, your “mostly peaceful protests,” and demobilize the activists and tell them to go get a job.

When you teach your supporters to hate and to fear, and when you silence your opposition with political correctness you reveal yourselves as totalitarian thugs.
