This is just my opinion, but to start out, you have to remember that they truly, truly believe in "all powerful" government. It is their religion.
Trump's (and our) fervent desire for reduction in government and power "to the people" is utter heresy to them. It all boils down to this: They are really trying to kick off "the boog". They want us to rise up so they can actually come after anyone that does not line up with them ideologically. Legally, socially, physically, it's all on the table. What we've seen so far is extremely serious, but they are essentially shots across the bow. We can't fall into the trap. We have to resist the urge to be the hammer that sticks up because they are now in "SMASH IT FLAT" mode. It's not fair, it's not right, and it's not just but it is what it is. We have to deescalate somehow and find political resolutions to this. America is NOT about persecution of minorities, even if that minority is white Christian gun owners. People CANNOT go off half cocked willy nilly - because if this conflict they are pushing us toward goes hot, then we will be reduced to two choices: 1. Completely WIN and replace the whole show......or 2. Be reduced to the status of the Uyghers in China.....the end goal of the Left. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-54277430 |

They hate us. They don't have to fight Trump anymore. They run the government.
It's not that hard to figure out. |
|
Above answers are correct but I will add to that list, "because they hate us".
edit: beat by like 30 sec. |
|
Because they are evil, vindictive and stupid.
They think they've won and can now make their "perfect world" with nothing to stop them but they are only radicalizing the other 1/2 of the country and polarizing the country even more... until it finally breaks. |

Who could have thought four years of "Trump really pisses off the left, I love it." would have any repercussions?
|

Quoted: Because they can. There are zero repercussions. View Quote Yup. Who's going to stop them? It's even virtuous to hate certain groups of people now. Tolerance has always been a one way street...but now it's a 6 lane superhighway with no speed limits. We about to get run the eff over... |

At one time very few people knew your politics.
With social media and the internet, everyone feels free to express every thought in their head. Meme wars start. People feel they have to pick a side. |

Demoralization
Destabilization Crisis Normalization They have determined that it’s time for step 3. |
|
Its one of the downsides to electing Trump. The pendulum has swung and they feel emboldened to let us know how they really feel.
|
|
We are better people. We ARE people.
They belong to an ideology that has denied human rights across the globe for a century, killed more human beings than any other single organization in human history...they are evil. They are beneath us. And they hate us for it. |

Because they are sociopaths and can’t help it
Now they don’t have to impose any self control. What little they had |

It’s a necessary process to resolve the dialectic of conflict. Thesis antithesis synthesis
• Traditional American life was the thesis • Leftist opposition (close to peaking) is the antithesis • Modern conservatives are the synthesis Attached File https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/2408983_What-if-we-re-the-baddies-.html Something I just found when searching “Thesis antithesis synthesis” on my phone, the above longer description is no longer there, replaced by this abbreviated version with no link to Wikipedia. Probably a mistake on my part... Attached File |

Kick the dog until it bites, then shoot it. Simple as. They don't even need to do it consciously.
|

They are mad as hell at us for delaying their socialist utopia plans for 4 years.
And they want to make sure no one gets in the way again. |

Who are we to say what the gods can do with a magnifying glass and the sun?

white middle class male Christian (or at least a couple of generations removed from a Christian family)

Because its been made openly acceptable to persecute Conservatives. They own all the major institutions of cultural influence. Coporations are downstream from culture and therefore so are politics. If you don't like it, you gotta vote with your dollars. Dont watch movies from liberal hollywood. Quit paying to see Liberal rock bands that hate you. Easier said than done but it would be a lot easier to do if we had alternatives. Pay to see Run, Hide, Fight. It's a start.

They've been so opened minded for so long now their brains fell out a few miles back...
|

Yes.
Stay gray man and hide under the stairs so they wont force you to hide under the stairs. |

Quoted: Its one of the downsides to electing Trump. The pendulum has swung and they feel emboldened to let us know how they really feel. View Quote A blatantly stolen election does not equal the "pendulum has swung". Unlike what the commie media would like to have us all believe, the vast majority of the people in this country are NOT Dems / commies. The majority are centrist independents and/or Republicans. See the DC lockdown thread for a good look at the justified paranoia the Dems are now experiencing. You aren't paranoid like that when you know you've won something fair and square and have nothing to hide. The Dems have done nothing of the sort, hence their fear, loathing, and paranoia. |

Because this is how communism works.
As in straight from the Stalin's playbook. Not kinda like it........exactly like it. |
|
They can be openly divisive and combative because they have on their side
The White House The Senate The House Wall Street Big Tech The Deep State The unions The K-12 educational system The colleges and universities The mainstream media The entertainment industry and on and on and on. On our side, we have ourselves. |

They scored a hat trick
Legislative,Judicial,Executive branches So much for checks & balances |

See! this ^man^ gets it. I don't understand it when we talk of hating the left then patronize them thru music and television. I have disdain for the entertainment industry, it's pretty damn safe to assume they are all leftist. I have no interest in their message whether it be spoken or sung. I believe the left is possessed by satan. They hate us for what we think, say, do and believe. The Bible said it would be like this, persecution. ETA; Garth Brooks Will Perform at Joe Biden's Inauguration "This is a great day in our household. This is not a political statement. This is a statement of unity," Brooks announced Brooks is no stranger to inauguration invites. He performed at Barack Obama's inauguration in 2009. Four years ago, he declined an invitation to President Donald Trump's big day because of a conflicting tour stop in Cincinnati. |

So because they want to destroy and subjugate us, we shouldn't fight back and be subjugated and destroyed without a fight?
Jews never should've fought being rounded up either, amirite? |

Critical Theory. Essentially cultural Marxism.
And the fact it was pushed in the schools starting in the early 80s. |

Quoted: It isn't about Trump. This was always coming. View Quote Absolute Motherfucking Truth Trump was a glitch in the Matrix the Left has built, and they sent out all the Sentinels against him. Where we are today was DELAYED by Trump's win. Covid, media, mail in voting, etc. etc. Everything that the Left has done and used in the last 4 years has been done to ENSURE they are never surprised again by independent thinkers. |

If you’re seeing anyone as working for a reduction in government, I think you’re wearing party blinders too.
