So here we are again—another week, another act of politically motivated violence swept under the rug by the same crowd that loves to lecture America about “democracy,” “tolerance,” and “peaceful protest.”

The Justice Department has charged Jamison Wagner, a 40-year-old man from Albuquerque, for launching actual firebomb attacks on a Tesla dealership and a local Republican Party headquarters. Yes, you read that right: a grown man decided the best way to express his political rage was by torching property, tagging buildings with anti-Elon Musk graffiti, and leaving homemade incendiary devices behind like some kind of budget anarchist from a rejected Netflix pilot.

Now imagine for just one second that this guy had walked into a Planned Parenthood clinic or a Democrat campaign office and set it on fire. Just imagine. The media would be foaming at the mouth, calling it an act of domestic terrorism, launching primetime specials about the rise of “right-wing extremism,” and lecturing all of us on how “rhetoric has consequences.” There’d be a congressional hearing scheduled before the fire was even put out. But because the target was the GOP and a Tesla facility—oh, and did we mention Elon Musk now sins by association with Trump?—we get a collective yawn from the legacy press.

Let’s look at the facts. Wagner’s handiwork at the Tesla dealership wasn’t just some graffiti and broken windows. This wasn’t a rowdy teenager with a can of spray paint and a grudge. The guy left swastikas, threats like “Die Elon,” and created a fire that seriously damaged vehicles and property. Then, just weeks later, he apparently decided the local GOP office deserved the same treatment, using homemade firebombs with glass jars and polystyrene to inflict maximum damage. This wasn’t a tantrum. It was calculated, organized, and dangerous.

And let’s not miss the symbolism here. The man literally painted “ICE = KKK” on a building wall. Because apparently, enforcing immigration law is equivalent to white supremacy now. And this twisted logic is what you get when the left decides it’s okay to brand half the country as evil. It starts with name-calling—“racist,” “fascist,” “Nazi”—and ends with Molotov cocktails on the front steps of your political opponent’s headquarters. That’s not protest. That’s domestic terrorism, plain and simple.

To their credit, federal prosecutors and law enforcement agencies moved swiftly. The FBI and ATF found Wagner’s stash of fire-starting supplies, including matching jars, spray paint, and the exact kind of material used in the napalm-style attack on Tesla. That’s the part that should chill everyone: napalm. This guy was basically mixing up homemade war crimes in his garage, and for what? To impress Antifa? To score points with whatever echo chamber radicalized him?

Thankfully, he’s behind bars, where he belongs. And yes, Attorney General Pamela Bondi said it best—this nonsense needs to stop. There’s no negotiating with this kind of political arson. You break the law, you pay the price. It doesn’t matter if you’re hurling Molotovs at a Republican office or supergluing yourself to the floor of a Chick-fil-A.

But let’s not ignore the elephant in the room: the deafening silence from the very people who insist they’re defending “our democracy.” Where’s the outcry from Democrat leaders? Where’s the coverage from the so-called guardians of truth in mainstream media? When a crazed political arsonist sets fire to the right’s institutions, it’s like watching a tree fall in the forest—no coverage, no outrage, no lectures from Hollywood.

So, a message to the left: if you really care about democracy, maybe start by condemning people who literally set it on fire. Until then, spare us the lectures. Because while Republicans hold town halls and knock on doors, your radicals are lobbing firebombs.
