If you express conservative viewpoints then people will physically assault you. Andy Ngo has been physically assaulted multiple times and recently was brazenly lased in the eyes. Liberal activists have taken to lasing the eyes of their political opponents as well as federal officers standing in front of a federal courthouse. These lasers will cause eye damage simply by looking at their spot on a wall. The fact that people in general are not upset by this baffles me.

Personally, after the lasing started, I totally lost any desire to publicly convey any kind of even positive sentiment for conservative or even moderate ideas. That’s how toxic it has become: moderates are now villainized by at least a large chunk of the left.

Good! Andy Ngo is human scum; so are the agents in Portland and so are all conservatives in the broadest sense. I’m excited by where this is going.

What did he do? Oh and congratulations, you won. You literally terrorized people into silence.
His whole shtick is to drum up violence against people on the left. Turnabout is fair play. And thank you, it is unironically really satisfying.

I’m not going to rebut. But my point could not have been proven any more thoroughly... I even wonder if you are a conservative pretending to be a liberal just to try and help my comment...
No, and I’m not a liberal either. I’m more anti-conservative than anything else. Violence is all they understand, so let them have it. More broadly I can see that the divide in this country won’t be healed by anything but violence. It’s not at all clear who wins, but what is clear is we cannot come together until we get this out of our system.

Your point was some set of facts. My rebuttal is: so what?

Well I’ll just say that if you were lasing real violent people in the eyes, like the okc bombers, then I would maybe look the other way. That’s all.
Ngo might be our nation's finest working journalist. That will make you many enemies and will not be good for your health.

This is hysterical, thank you for this. Anyway here’s hoping he doesn’t live out the year, along with many others.
