The Left's Toxic Weapon: Using Fear to Control Society

The left's reliance on fear, threats, and intimidation is not a sloppy result of out-of-control politicians and legacy media—it is an ancient technique meant to control society at-large. The constant stream of demonizing and apocalyptic rhetoric from legacy media and many national Democratic leaders, including President Biden himself, has led to an inevitable outcome: an attempt on the former, and possible future, president’s life.

The assassination attempt on former President Trump was a tragic event that has sent shockwaves through the nation. As we grapple with the aftermath, it's crucial to understand the underlying forces that may have contributed to this act of violence.

In her new book, "Fear Itself: Exposing the Left’s Mind-Killing Agenda," conservative commentator Tammy Bruce argues that the left's relentless use of fear and intimidation is a deliberate strategy to control society. She traces this tactic back to ancient times, where it was employed by rulers to keep their subjects in line.

Bruce contends that the left has weaponized fear in the modern era to demonize political opponents, silence dissent, and promote its own agenda. She points to the constant stream of apocalyptic rhetoric from legacy media and Democratic leaders, who have portrayed Trump as a dangerous threat to democracy, comparable to figures like Hitler and Mussolini.

Such rhetoric, Bruce argues, creates a climate of fear and anxiety that makes people vulnerable to extremist messages. It cultivates a siege mentality, where individuals feel their very existence is under attack. Fearful and uncertain, people are more likely to give up their power and retreat from political and social engagement.

Bruce provides numerous examples of the left's fear-mongering tactics, including the ongoing allegations of Russian interference in Trump's campaigns and the exaggerated claims about climate change. She argues that by convincing people that their very existence is a threat to the planet, the left undermines their self-esteem and confidence, making them more susceptible to messages of fear and dread.

This strategy, Bruce believes, has been highly effective in advancing the left's agenda. By keeping people in a state of fear and anxiety, the left has been able to stifle opposition, promote its own policies, and restructure society according to its own dictates.

Bruce emphasizes that the left's agenda cannot succeed without the annihilation of personal courage, the trait required to withstand danger and fear. When courage is lost, so too is the willingness to confront the powerful and malevolent.

The author offers a solution to this dilemma: understanding that fear is a natural warning but weaponizing it is an unnatural construct. By recognizing that the fear we are experiencing is not natural and can be defeated, we can rely on our courage to overcome the false curtain of lies and fear erected by the establishment and the Marxist left.

Bruce acknowledges that this is a unique time in history, but she believes we must send an undeniable message that our values will prevail over fear and loathing. She urges us to fight and win the battle for America's future by relying on logic and reason, not unbridled emotion.
