       The Left

       I just received the following email on an account I have which
       monitors conservative political action. I have similar feelers
       into a few different areas so I can keep tabs on things. This one
       stood out, especially in light of Trump's recent meeting with
       Putin.

       James,
       
       Have you seen the Democrats lately?
       
       They're completely unhinged.
       
       They’re all over this country vowing to go further and further to
       the Left. For weeks, they’ve been calling for harassment,
       intimidation, even the abolishment of ICE! Now, they’re promising
       to block President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee from ever
       reaching the bench.
       
       They want to ignore our laws, abuse our people, and obstruct our
       agenda by subjecting Judge Kavanaugh to a long, drawn out
       confirmation process.
       
       They think their new tactics will chase all “deplorables” into
       hiding… but the silent majority is not backing down. We’re getting
       together and we’re standing up. We’re knocking on doors and
       reaching voters for our National Week of Action to protect our
       President and make sure we win big in November.
       
       And we need YOU to join us by going door to door to spread our
       message
        
       REGISTER TO VOLUNTEER
       
       James, the way I see it, if liberals want to come for our borders,
       for our jobs, and OUR Supreme Court, and they’re willing to stop
       at nothing to make that happen.
       
       We CAN win for the Silent Majority -- not by stooping down to the
       left’s level -- but by volunteering in your neighborhood to turn
       out voters and spread our positive message of putting America
       FIRST.
       
       Please, join us for the National Week of Action.
       
       Thank you,
       
       Chris Carr
       Donald J. Trump for President, Political Director

       What struck me most was the blatant use of the Left as an entity
       of otherness. Notice that it's the Left coming for OUR borders,
       Supreme Court, laws, and jobs. The Left wants to abuse OUR people.
       This is an interesting and dangerous shift in rhetoric. It is
       essentially calling liberals anti-American and digging deeper the
       divide.
       
       In a similar email last month the language used was based on
       fighting, shooting, and violence in general. "Strike back!" they
       cheer.
       
       This is the stuff that later generations will point to with
       disgust and say, "how did they not see it coming?"
