On this historic January 6th - exactly five years after the events Democrats weaponized to attack President Trump - Americans are waking up to a disturbing truth: the radical Left has been using what Abraham Lincoln called "mobocracy" to morally blackmail our entire nation into submission.

In 1838, a young Lincoln delivered a prophetic speech in Springfield, Illinois, warning about the "ravages of mob law" and the dangerous "mobocratic spirit" that threatened to destroy Americans' attachment to their fellow countrymen. His message was crystal clear: "There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law."

Sound familiar, Patriots?

Social media users are connecting the dots between Lincoln's warning and today's political reality. As @texasguyaf pointed out on Twitter: "Democrats today are practicing 'Mobocracy'... Lincoln said that the greatest threats to American democracy came from within. One was what he called 'mobocracy' — that is, uncontrolled mobs who willfully violated the law to make a political point."

Think about it: For years, we watched as BLM and Antifa mobs burned down cities while the media called it "mostly peaceful." We witnessed the Left's coordinated campaign to destroy anyone who dared question the 2020 election. We saw how they used January 6th as their Reichstag Fire moment to justify weaponizing the DOJ against Trump supporters.

@TomSouther1 shared Lincoln's wisdom, reminding us that Lincoln's "opposition to anarchy of any kind was absolute and clarion." Yet Democrats celebrated and funded the very mob violence Lincoln warned would tear our republic apart.

"There is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law." - Abraham Lincoln, 1838

The moral blackmail was simple: Accept our radical agenda or be labeled racist, insurrectionist, or worse. Comply with our demands or watch your cities burn. Embrace our woke ideology or lose your livelihood.

But here's the beautiful irony: On January 6, 2026, President Trump sits in the White House again, vindicated and stronger than ever. The American people rejected the mobocracy and chose law, order, and constitutional governance.

Lincoln's warning about internal threats proved prophetic - but so did the Founders' wisdom in creating a system strong enough to survive even coordinated attacks from within. The question now: Will we learn from this dark chapter and ensure it never happens again?

This is why we have the Electoral College and a constitutional republic, not a direct democracy. The mob doesn't get to override the rule of law.

Thank you! So many people don't understand this basic civics concept anymore.

Can someone explain how this differs from legitimate grassroots organizing? I want to understand the distinction better for discussions with my liberal neighbors.

Lincoln knew what he was talking about when he warned about mob rule destroying our republic. We're seeing it play out in real time with these coordinated pressure campaigns and cancel culture tactics.

Exactly right. The founders designed our system to prevent pure democracy for this exact reason.

This explains so much about what happened during the 2020 riots when politicians were too scared to enforce basic law and order!

Lincoln's Lyceum Address should be required reading in every high school. He predicted exactly how republics fall to lawlessness disguised as righteousness.

Finally someone is calling this what it is - political blackmail through intimidation. I've watched my own city council cave to these tactics instead of listening to actual residents.
