Yet Another Leftist Terror Plot Foiled: How Democrats’ Incendiary Rhetoric Is Driving America Toward a Second Civil War

In the shadow of Washington’s historic landmarks, another chilling episode of leftist extremism unfolded on October 5, 2025, when authorities arrested 41-year-old Louis Geri outside the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle. Geri, a deranged New Jersey resident with a recent prison stint for indecent exposure, had set up a green tent packed with over 200 homemade explosive devices—grenades, Molotov cocktails, and vials of volatile chemicals like nitromethane and acetone, the same compounds used in the devastating Oklahoma City bombing.

This arsenal was discovered just hours before the annual Red Mass, a Catholic ceremony praying for the Supreme Court’s term, where justices were expected to attend. Geri’s manifesto, titled “Written Negotiations for the Avoidance of Destruction of Property via Detonation of Explosives,” spewed venom against conservative Supreme Court justices, the Catholic Church, Jews, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)—hallmarks of far-left hatred toward traditional values, law enforcement, and American sovereignty.

Conservative commentators wasted no time in connecting the dots. As one X post bluntly stated, “The Progressive Left is Now All About Political Violence,” highlighting Geri’s setup as yet another example of Democrats’ radical base turning words into weapons. Geri allegedly warned officers, “You might want to stay back and call the federales, I have explosives,” and threatened to “test one out on the streets,” adding, “Several of your people are gonna die from one of these.” He was apprehended after stepping out to urinate on a nearby tree, a bizarre end to what could have been a catastrophic attack. Held without bond, Geri faces charges including possession of weapons of mass destruction, hate crimes, assault on officers, and threats—charges that underscore the growing threat from leftist ideologues.

Johnson accused the “Right-Wing” of waging war on his city, while Los Angeles riots over deportations are framed as Democrats protecting their “foreign slaves.” Conservative X users echo this, warning that Democrats are “importing fighting-age males to sow discord,” making civil war “inevitable.” Ohio Senate Republicans accuse the “insurrectionist left” of enacting chaos to thwart Trump, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker equates the Trump administration to Nazis—rhetoric that fuels radicals like Geri.Geri’s hatred for ICE aligns perfectly with this narrative. His manifesto railed against immigration enforcement, mirroring Democrats’ sanctuary policies that prioritize criminals over citizens.

As the Whatfinger piece notes, over 10 million illegals have entered under Biden-Harris, creating a “superhighway for human trafficking” and a “permanent servant class.” The Heritage Foundation is quoted decrying Democrats’ reliance on cheap labor to sustain elite lifestyles, while the America First Policy Institute warns that “illegal immigration is bringing slavery into America.” Geri’s plot, targeting a symbol of faith and justice, exemplifies how this rhetoric radicalizes individuals to violence. Latest X posts amplify the outrage, with users labeling Geri a “lefty maniac” whose actions stem from the left’s “hateful rhetoric.” One post notes, “All of the Left’s hateful rhetoric pays dividends,” pointing to stochastic terrorism where media and politicians incite without direct orders.

Another highlights the mainstream media’s silence: “Mainstream media once again failed to cover that a leftist (Luis Geri) was arrested in D.C. with a manifesto of hate for Christians, Jews, ICE, and conservative judges.” Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins detailed the explosives’ similarity to Oklahoma City, emphasizing the potential for mass casualties. This fits a broader trend of leftist violence. Recall the 2022 plot against Justice Brett Kavanaugh by Nicholas Roske, sentenced leniently by a Biden-appointed judge despite calls for life imprisonment. Or the Antifa riots, BLM unrest, and attacks on pregnancy centers post-Roe v. Wade. Democrats’ calls to “fight like hell” and label conservatives “threats to democracy” have real consequences, as seen in assassination attempts on Trump and now this near-miss at SCOTUS.

The Whatfinger analysis predicts Democrats’ isolation—losing voters among Blacks, Hispanics, and unions—will lead to desperation. With Trump’s 2024 landslide, they’re “ripe for a decisive smackdown,” but not before provoking conflict through false flags or resistance to deportations. X users agree: “Democrats are conducting a war against the rest of America.” Calls for action include investigations, defunding sanctuaries, and impeaching activist judges. Geri’s arrest averted disaster, but it signals deeper rot. As one X post warns, “Ignore this, along with every other sign that we need to start whoop’n ass!”

Democrats’ playbook—division, importation of chaos, protection of criminals—echoes their slave-era tactics. Trump must secure borders, deport threats, and dismantle this agenda to prevent civil war. America First demands vigilance; the left’s violence won’t stop until conservatives force it to.
