Could the 2024 Election Bring a Resurgence of Political Violence?

The 2024 election could potentially see a rematch between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. But there’s another alarming aspect of the leadup to 2020 that might repeat between now and November 2024 — widespread political violence.

The period prior to Election Day 2020 was one of the most heated the nation has ever seen. While the atmosphere has cooled in the proceeding years, the events of the 2020 election are recent enough history that most still vividly remember the uneasy feeling that the nation was seemingly at its breaking point.

Much of the violence, of course, was driven by left-wing agitators. Black Lives Matter and Antifa marched through the streets in towns such as Portland and Seattle, leaving arson, looting, and murder in their wake.

And can anyone forget about the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) in Seattle? While it was easy to laugh off as an instance of delusional LARPing by young, Utopian socialists that was destined to fail, the implications of that episode are still chilling:

Namely, that socialists were able to muster up enough numbers to effectively run police out of their small separatist community for a time — and that they had enough public support to dissuade the authorities from breaking the party up for about a month.

Much of the left-wing violence, however, was not organic, as the mainstream media would like us to believe. It was, in fact, engineered by socialist puppet masters such as George Soros.

One activist group known as Shut Down D.C. was ready to storm the streets of the nation’s capital to forcibly remove Trump from office if he had been declared the winner of the presidential election. The Soros-linked Transition Integrity Project was prepared to do the same.

Ironically, in all of the discussions about “sedition” and “insurrection” in the press, mainstream outlets never discuss these groups and their open vows to do exactly what many J6 political prisoners have been accused of doing.

But at the end of the day, these left-wing organizations never had to pull the trigger. When it came down to it, these were contingency plans. Backups. And they weren’t needed, ultimately. Because Plan A was to claim the White House for Joe Biden through spurious voting practices that could be played off as legitimate protocols for voting in the time of Covid-19.

Moreover, the establishment knew that they would be able to shut down the inevitable objections to the contested presidential election if they could cast all critique of Biden’s legitimacy as “seditious.”

That’s why they needed to orchestrate the fake insurrection at the Capitol — it provided the establishment with the grounds to crack down on Trump supporters who dared question the 2020 election’s validity. This has become even more apparent in recent days thanks to new January 6 footage released by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson.

And going hand-in-hand with the “insurrection” spin is the narrative that the conservative movement is brimming with violent seditionists planning J6-style political violence.

With 2024 on the horizon, the establishment may be laying the groundwork to once more create the specter of alleged right-wing violence. They will likely do this by first fomenting left-wing violence to get political tensions high again. In such a climate, it will be easy to get right-wingers and left-wingers fighting each other on the streets.

And the establishment will then further vilify conservatives by inserting their own agents (for instance, FBI agents posing as right-wing activists) into the movement in order to infiltrate, co-opt, and frame.

The left-wing media is already making the preparations to sell the public on this narrative. A new article by Tess Owen of Vice declares, “The Boogaloo Bois Are Plotting a Bloody Comeback: ‘We Will Go to War.’”

The Boogaloo movement is a loose collection of right-wingers who believe a civil war is coming and prepare to defend against it. They have been seen at events donning a combination of military gear and Hawaiian shirts.

Owen writes:

While it’s true that the threat of prosecution caused the Boogaloo Bois to lower their profile, the fierce anti-government ideology underpinning the movement never went anywhere. And now, the Boogaloo Bois appear to be regrouping, plotting their public comeback to coincide with what many fear could be a tense, even violent, presidential election season. 

In the last six months, the Boogaloo Bois have returned to Facebook and are using the platform to funnel new recruits (and “OG Bois”) into smaller subgroups, with the goal of coordinating offline meet-ups and training, according to data obtained by the Tech Transparency Project and shared exclusively with VICE News. They’re posting propaganda videos, guides to sniper training and guerilla warfare, and how-tos for assembling untraceable ghost guns. “The Bois are back in town,” declared a member of one of the new groups.

The outlet quoted one Boogaloo Boi who said he is down for an “armed revolt.”

If violence begins to break out again as the 2024 election approaches, Americans would do well to remember who is really behind it all — and to what end.
