Enough is enough. On Newsmax’s Finnerty this week, Rob Finnerty and his guests laid out what many Americans already feel: investigators, much of the media, and the left are stumbling to explain a string of violent acts because they refuse to confront the cultural rot that motivates them. That refusal isn’t accidental — Finnerty and conservatives on the show argued it’s a predictable symptom of woke Democrat policies that encourage lawlessness and excuse radical behavior.
Look at the evidence: we’ve seen politically charged vandalism and targeted attacks tied to the same milieu that now dominates left-leaning institutions, and the pattern is unmistakable. From the recent spate of Tesla-focused vandalism and organized protests to the politically targeted shootings of Democratic lawmakers this past June, these are not isolated flukes but part of a broader breakdown in civic responsibility.
Federal analysts have even warned that modern attackers often wear multiple ideological masks, making motives murky — but that ambiguity too often becomes an excuse for the left to avoid responsibility. When the Department of Homeland Security and other reports say motives are harder to pin down, conservative analysts rightly point out that mixed grievances and online radicalization flourish in an environment where accountability is mocked and police are demoralized.
Meanwhile, rhetoric matters. When public officials and activist leaders demonize law enforcement or brand federal officers with incendiary labels, they create permission structures for violence — a grim dynamic highlighted by attacks on ICE and other federal targets where anti-enforcement messaging was found at the scene. Conservatives on Finnerty argued that this is the logical outcome of a culture that rewards grievance over law and order and refuses to condemn extremists on its own side.
Patriotic Americans want real answers and real consequences, not another round of hand-wringing from elites who helped create the problem. Republicans must keep pressing for thorough investigations, tougher enforcement, and a revival of civic norms that teach respect for life, property, and the rule of law; the country cannot survive if half the population keeps excusing violence as a political tactic. The alternative—letting woke ideology keep hollowing out institutions and emboldening criminals—would be an unforgivable betrayal of working families and the values that built this nation.
