Scary poll reveals how many Democrats wished assassin KILLED Trump at rally
daily mail ^

Posted on 07/26/2024 12:58:18 PM PDT by algore

Most Americans were glad that Donald Trump dodged a bullet at the fateful rally in Pennsylvania.

But not everyone was pleased that 20-year-old assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was such a bad shot.

Until now, many assumed that only a few bad apples wanted the Republican candidate to take a round to the head.

Not so, says alarming new research from a UK-based academic.

Eric Kaufmann says a shocking third of Democratic voters wished Trump had left his July 13 campaign event in a body bag.

Among progressives, the figure is much higher, says the University of Buckingham politics scholar.

A staggering 71 percent of hard-line lefties said they supported the attempt on Trump's life.

Kaufmann said his results could be explained by 'woke moral absolutism.'

'Identity politics has moralized the outlook of the Left, painting conservatives as evil rather than wrong,' he says.

Kaufmann carried out his snap poll of a few hundred people five days after the attack, in which Crooks killed firefighter Corey Comperatore, 50, and injured two others, including Trump.

In the hours that followed, several high-profile liberals voiced support for the assassin, who was shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper.

This comes down to a growing 'partisan asymmetry' in America, he says.

'The Left is more prejudiced against the Right than vice versa,' he adds.

Lefties are more likely to unfriend, refuse to date or otherwise discriminate against conservatives than the other way round, his research shows.

The respondents who backed Trump's assassination bid also had other hard-line feelings against the GOP.

They wanted Trump dead..that is why CNN and MSNBC covered the rally when they said they would NEVER cover a Trump rally, they knew, they wanted the money shot..that is what they were promised..like when CNN had advance notice of the Roger Stone arrest..this is who the left is, and God forbid they win in November, that’s it..that will be officially the end of America

I honestly think Trump should play this up more that a portion of her supporters feel this way. Might give a few middle of the roasted second thoughts about supporting the dem ticket. These are goulash people no wonder they support abortion till birth or some cases way after birth

Fanatical dedication to The Party.

The Party says President Trump “is a threat”.

So basically the term ‘homicidal democrat’ is redundant.

Here is the problem. Someone else, seeing this, might try, thinking he/she has support of people.

I said to illegal aliens this week with whom I had contact, “How bad the guy didn’t kill Trump.” They were all in heartfelt agreement.

There is no denying the evil that lives in the hearts of otherwise normal appearing people . The liberal world includes evil at every turn , and they are unwavering in their blindness and deafness. Self righteous and stupidity combined.

Throughout American history it has always been Republican presidents who get shot and sometimes assassinated. The only Democrat who was assassinated was JFK who would be a Republican by today’s standards and who was killed by the left.

The left have always been homicidal maniacs.

“71 percent of hard-line lefties”

Only 71% of the hard core left supporting killing Trump? Those are weak numbers, those are rookie numbers.

“There is no denying the evil that lives in the hearts of otherwise normal appearing people .”

Right. Today, waiting in line to vote, they guy in front of me requested a Democrat ballot. I thought it might be a good idea to kick him. Was I wrong? Should I not have thought that?

I’ve read Hitler never signed an order to exterminate the Jews, instead, he hired people who he knew would do it. I think the Administration wanted Trump dead. They hired someone who would make it more likely that an assassin would succeed. I wonder what percentage of the DEI hires were on Trump’s team as opposed to, say, Blinken’s team. Now not all women and minorities will be incompetent, but I’d like to see an estimate of competence and who’s protective detail they’re on. I watched some of the testimony and Democrats and Republicans were appalled. Here’s a link that distill some of it.

Democrats will tell you how compassionate they are while trying to kill you.

The media will tell you how honest you are while lying to you.

Blacks will tell you how oppressed you are while raping, robbing, and murdering you.
