The World Watches as Donald Trump’s Enemies Resort to Murder as a Campaign Strategy
American Greatness ^ | 25 Oct, 2024 | Richard Truesdell and Keith Lehmann

Progressive Democrats always had it in them. Now they’re letting their murder flag fly proudly.

Fewer than fifty days before a presidential election and two months after an assassin’s bullet narrowly missed Donald Trump’s head in Butler, Pennsylvania, a second attempt to kill the former president took place at his Florida golf course. The Biden-Harris supporting shooter was well known to FBI authorities as a radical felon illegally in possession of firearms back in 2019. The FBI closed the investigation without following up on credible information that might have incarcerated the shooter years ago.

More recently, we saw a heavily armed man with multiple passports, a fake press pass, and fake license tags on his vehicle trying to enter the VIP area of a Trump rally in Coachella, California. San Bernadino County sheriffs arrested the man for illegal possession of firearms.

These attempts to assassinate Donald Trump are the only ones we know about. With the extreme rhetoric emanating from Democrats and their media allies espousing their unhinged disdain for the former president, it is quite likely that others have been or will be motivated to “finish the job.” Impulse control has never been a strong suit among the far left.

We remember back in June of 2017, when a Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer and MSNBC patron named James Hodgkinson armed himself with a rifle and handgun and shot up a team of Republicans on a baseball field, nearly killing then-House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and wounding five others. Hodgkinson’s social media postings were rife with anti-Trump content and violent promises to “destroy Trump and Co.”

That same year, Senator Rand Paul was aggressively assaulted by his neighbor over what was portrayed in the media as a “property line dispute” but was actually the result of political smears in the media that the attacker took to heart.

All of the mewling by Democrats and their allies in the legacy media to portray today’s incendiary language condemning Trump and his Republican supporters as “a threat to democracy” and that it’s “time to put Trump in a bullseye” as being coincidental to these assassination attempts is pure nonsense. And they know it.

They’re doing it on purpose. They want Trump dead and are not hiding it.

What could have been passed off as incompetence of Trump’s security detail after the first assassination attempt is now being viewed as a purposeful next phase of the left’s campaign to stop Trump by any means necessary. If those “means” include inciting mentally unstable people to commit murder against someone who “is a threat to our democracy and has to be eliminated” and “needs to be shot,” well, that’s just another resource in the tool belt of the left.

The legacy media continues to downplay or outright ignore the assassination attempts, making general statements on violence “having no place” in American politics. Yet, after the kangaroo court trials and transparently unlawful “felony” convictions failed to weaken Trump’s support, after the media’s nonstop negative coverage was unsuccessful in stopping Trump’s rise in important swing states, and after a clearly rigged debate proved ineffective at boosting the standing of Kamala Harris, the Democrats “turn their fire” on Trump by whipping up as much rhetoric as they can to convince their legion of lunatics to take out Trump on behalf of “American democracy” in the closing 10 days of the election.

Democrats have a twenty-year-plus record of dangerous rhetoric surrounding presidential elections. Rather than accepting the results of the 2000 election, Democrat Al Gore rescinded his concession to a newly-elected George W. Bush and put America through a 36-day nightmare as ballots were manipulated, counted, and re-counted, all for the purpose of getting Gore the outcome he wanted. When Bush was declared the decisive winner after a Supreme Court ruling put an end to the fiasco, Gore and Democrats characterized Bush as the “selected” president and not the “elected” president and never missed an opportunity to question his legitimacy during both terms.

It happened again with Donald Trump in 2016. Winning the election against Hillary Clinton, Trump was a target throughout his presidency as being “illegitimate” and therefore “unfit for office.” Clinton herself has angrily pushed the notion that Trump “knows he’s illegitimate,” setting up a plausible scenario for pushing Trump out “to remove the national threat from office.” Hopefully, when the ballots are counted in this election, this contemptible, evil hypocrite will be banished from public discourse once and for all.

By insidiously painting Republican candidate Trump as an “existential, urgent threat to our democracy,” Democrats have crossed into the territory of clear incitement of violence that they know will be carried out by one or more of their mindless followers who have been convinced by the many media platforms insisting that the country is on the brink of a Trump dictatorship.

We cannot accept at face value any claim that this is a “both sides” issue. A recent poll showed that 28 percent of Democrats agreed that America would be better off if Trump were to be assassinated, with another 24 percent claiming they were uncertain. It is absolutely unconscionable that a majority of Democrats are okay with political killings and proof that the left’s violent streak remains intact.

The Communist/Socialist movement starved and murdered over 100 million people in the past century and did so without any hesitation or conscience. What would stop power-hungry people on the left from inciting some of their followers to take lethal action against an opponent that they cannot stop through legitimate means?

Murder and assault of opposition political figures is now a normalized part of the left’s arsenal to gain power. When Democrats and their allies in the media repeatedly and publicly claim that Trump is the next iteration of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and Mao all rolled into one Orange-man Bad, and when multiple assassination attempts are made as the rhetoric continues, it is not unreasonable to conclude that it is intentional.

It is deteriorating our society, and the Democrats could not be more indifferent. Chaos and destruction are tools to be wielded in their pursuit of power. By conditioning their followers to hate and giving them opportunities to act on that hate, Democrats have finally exposed themselves as the real threat to the democracy they claim to care about on a daily basis. These efforts are far more tangible and destructive than anything Donald Trump said or did on January 6, 2021.

Update 1: Kamala Harris just repeated one of the biggest lies of her campaign. On Tuesday, in her interview with NBC News’ Halle Jackson, a Democrat activist masquerading as a journalist, she said that law enforcement officers were killed on January 6th. (15’00”of the video link.) None were.

The only person killed on January 6th was an unarmed Trump supporter, Ashli Babbitt. She was killed by an out-of-control Capital police officer, Lieutenant Michael Byrd, who should have been tried for manslaughter at a minimum but got off scot-free. This was thanks to the false framing of the narrative by the mainstream media and by members of the corrupt January 6th Committee led by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MI) and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), now on the stump for Harris. The only law enforcement officer who died in the aftermath of the January 6th disturbance was Capital Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died two days later of natural causes due to two strokes unrelated to the January 6th disturbance at the Capitol.

Update 2: The Department of Justice publicly released a letter from Donald Trump’s second assassination shooter offering a $150,000 bounty for anyone else to “finish the job” of killing the former president. This is definitive proof of the U.S. government’s intention to put a stop to Trump’s presidential campaign “by any means necessary,” first by bankrupting him, then by jailing him, and now by eliminating him altogether through the encouragement of murder for hire.

Update 3: The decades-long hate campaign against Trump took yet another turn when the Politico website published a 5,000-word screed on what can only be described as an endorsement of Trump’s assassination. The authors issued a warning of a “very real scenario where Trump loses and takes power anyway,” as if a private citizen could even do that. The entire piece is unworthy of repeating here since it’s based on a fantasy, but it is indicative of the Democrat-supporting legacy media’s openly aggressive “dog whistle” call to put down Trump’s “existential threat to our democracy” once and for all.

It’s plain to see that the real existential threat to American democracy is not Trump. It’s lunatics on the left motivated by more than nine years of Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s real and Democrats like Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), and so many more are what they accuse Trump of being—a threat to American democracy. These two especially, but many other Democrats in public life wouldn’t know democracy if it bit them squarely in the ass.

Murder as leftist campaign strategy comes as no surprise to anyone. The left actively supports the Democrat Party, which is the party of slavery, the ku klux klan, infanticide, lynching, Jim Crow laws, sexual perversion, election fraud, open borders, racism, crime, hate, and every other evil ever devised by man or the devil. Why not murder?

The DemonRAT Party is the greatest threat to AMERICA. We have to shut that weird buggy down before it takes all of us over a cliff.

One wonders how many demon driven people around the world are just itching to see something happen? The hat4ed for Donald Trump is unreal- its purely demonic- they hate him as much as people hated Jesus before they screamed for him to be crucified (not comparing Trump to Jesus, just pointing out the level of hatred comparison)

[[.Even AFTER THE ELECTION]]

Pr3s Trump knows this too, and it is a massive testament to his character and greatness as a leader that he accepts the risk because he loves this nation and wants it to thrive and prosper again.

What with 25 million bogus voter registrations on the books, the left may not have to go this far, but they probably will anyway. After this much conditioning, they couldn’t stop themselves if they wanted to.

One only needs to look at the Clintons to realize this is truth. The term “Arkancide” comes to mind as well.

We’re talking about a party whose #1 calling card is legitimizing the murder of the unborn.

I’ve started seeing reporters questioning if Kalama will “accept the results” if Trump wins. That’s the wrong question. The question that should be asked is WILL KAMALA HARRIS CALL FOR CALM IF TRUMP WINS?!

She must be asked this question!

“(not that they have any).”

I think it is a mistake to assume this. They are criminals who operate on double standards and hypocrisy. They have guns, lots of guns. But they are not legal guns and they think only THEY should have guns. Just like they think everyone but themselves should be killed off to protect the environment.

> openly aggressive “dog whistle” call

The author is right — the left is overtly seeking someone to kill Trump.

The above phrase is nonsense though. A dog whistle by definition is something that the intended audience hears and not everyone. In the usage of political speech it means a phrase for the speaker’s listeners that is couched so as to not be recognised and offensive to the general public.

Something can’t be “openly” and a dog whistle at once.

(The left as usual murdered the phrase by applying it to statements that weren’t said or meant at all but which the left wants people to be offended by; often a lie by omission as in the fine people hoax but other times crafted out of thin air)

As a former blue-cities dweller, I know lots of Democrats. Not a one of them has a gun and knows how to use it.

There may be a lot of ghetto thugs who are armed, but they are not going to leave their blue-city streets to confront armed conservatives who know how to shoot.

That said, I definite worry about parts of the military that are under the command of radical left generals. Some of them at least will follow orders and they know how to shoot.

What worries me is that those thugs may have more than just legal grade firearms. They may have stockpiles of military grade weapons. They do not know what the word “legal” even means when it comes to arms. Especially the cartels who will be leading them.

That's a good point. The cartels and gangs would be lethal.

That said, I now live in the Deep South. I am astonished at the ammo and weapons that people are said to have.

Lot's of ex-military. From what I hear (just as an innocent bystander of course), there are massive amounts of ammo and ARs.

I don't think the Marxist Democrats, elites, and Deep Staters realize how difficult it would be to defeat the "people" in an armed conflict.

What needs to happen is a GOP funded operation that takes the derisvie comments used by the Left against Trump, and have apparently normal people start saying the same things about the people who “tell us the news”. When these people are treated like Trump and some of them attacked, they will scream bloody murder about their own security deminished.
