Four years ago today, the Deep State executed Ashli Babbitt in cold blood inside the U.S. Capitol. Last week, ICE agents killed Renée Nicole Good during an operation in Minneapolis. Both were American women. Both were shot by federal agents. But according to the left's twisted logic, only one death matters.
This stark double standard exposes a disturbing truth about modern America: we're not having honest debates anymore—we're speaking entirely different languages designed to protect or condemn the same government based purely on politics.
The Blaze's recent analysis hits the nail on the head, asking the simple moral question our divided nation refuses to answer honestly: When does the state have the moral authority to kill American citizens?
For patriots who remember Ashli Babbitt—an unarmed Air Force veteran gunned down for the crime of climbing through a window—the answer seems clear. The same federal government that destroyed her life and covered up her killer's identity now expects us to mourn differently when their enforcement actions target someone the left considers sympathetic.
Words as Weapons, Not Truth
But here's what's really happening: Americans aren't using language to seek truth anymore. We're using words as tribal markers, signaling which team we're on rather than wrestling with hard moral questions.
When ICE kills someone, the left screams about federal overreach and police brutality. When Capitol Police kill a Trump supporter, suddenly they're heroes defending democracy. The same people who spent 2020 chanting "ACAB" now worship the badge—but only when it serves their narrative.
"Are words being used to think—or to show whose side someone is on?" This question cuts to the heart of why our republic is fracturing.
President Trump's return to power offers hope for accountability, but the deeper problem remains: half of America has abandoned honest discourse in favor of partisan programming. They don't evaluate government actions based on consistent principles—they evaluate them based on who benefits politically.
Patriots understand that government power should be questioned regardless of who wields it. That's what made America great. But as long as the left treats language as a weapon instead of a tool for truth, we'll keep speaking past each other while the Deep State laughs at our division.
The question isn't whether these deaths were justified—it's whether Americans still care enough about truth to have that conversation honestly.
