Nothing like facing down your enemies and getting stabbed in the back:

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz wants the Department of Justice to investigate Saturday’s attack that killed one woman in Charlottesville, Va. as an incident of domestic terrorism. In a statement released Saturday night, Cruz called the incident “tragic and heartbreaking” and said the Justice Department must be involved immediately. “The Nazis, the KKK, and white supremacists are repulsive and evil, and all of us have a moral obligation to speak out against the lies, bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred that they propagate,” Cruz said in a statement. “Having watched the horrifying video of the car deliberately crashing into a crowd of protesters, I urge the Department of Justice to immediately investigate and prosecute this grotesque act domestic terrorism.”

Leftists are desperate for any amygdala relaxation in their war with the Donald and his right supporters. When members of the right take the left’s side, on anything, and turn on other members of the right, it emboldens them immensely. They love to see infighting.

What has happened here is the left is establishing that some speech is able to be deemed unacceptable by the left, and then can be attacked violently, with government support. Now Ted Cruz is supporting them on that front by helping them attack someone who they are using as a proxy for the right. That will only increase leftist violence at conservative events in the future, probably even including Ted Cruz rallies.

If White Nationalists can’t speak their views in public, the left will assume that now they can determine other ideological ideas are also verboten. I don’t care if it is Nazis, socialists, or simple conservatives. If you use violence to shut down free speech, that is a grave threat to freedom.

What is egregious is the extent to which it has been going on. Hillary never had a violent attack on any of her rallies. Bernie never had anyone tell him he couldn’t espouse communism or socialism, even though they go exactly against the very spirit of American freedom. Our side innately accepts the idea of free speech and the rights of others to espouse differing viewpoints.

And yet every rally Donald held, featured violent leftists crashing it and starting fights. No right-wing speaker is allowed to speak at certain venues, because the protests against them will be so violent. That is an attack on the most foundational freedom in America. Ted should have treated it as such, and at least sought the same investigations of Antifa.

Had these White Nationalists been allowed to protest, in the same way they would have allowed the left to protest, there would never have been any problem with them. But just like at Berkeley, or a Donald Trump rally, the violent left swarmed in, and started the fight. Where is Ted Cruz on that?

We have not yet even begun to reach peak K. As we traverse that spectrum, begin to in-group, and become ever more war-like, these weak kneed politicians will be remembered, and they will never hold any position of power in the K-selected movement to come.

But notice how brilliantly President Trump has handled it. He gave a statement just serious enough to allay the normal people’s concerns, and yet totally insufficient to the left. If he had done a Cruz, and appeased the left gratuitously, they would have smelled blood, their amygdala would have refueled, and they would have attacked again and again ten times as hard. Instead he left them demoralized, dejected, and unsatisfied, and as a result, they will be less of a problem in the future. That is a genius who will win a thousand battles.

For now, wait and see if the driver, who could have panicked due to genuine danger from violent leftist anarchists for all we know, is acquitted when tried. He only needs one right-winger who is appalled by the violent left on his jury, and who understands the fear, and he will go free – in a nation divided 50-50 along strict, extreme ideological lines. Think about it.

Watch the amygdala hijacks the left experiences then.

Tell others about r/K Theory, because the left’s amygdala hijacks have just begun
