A university report published last month shows that more than half of those who identify as being left of center on the political spectrum believe assassinating President Donald Trump would be justified. This didn’t come about organically. It’s the product of a vicious campaign waged by the Democratic Party-mainstream media axis.
According to a Rutgers Social Perception Lab-Network Contagion Research Institute brief, 55.2% of Americans on the left “reported that if someone murdered Donald Trump, they would be at least somewhat justified.” Overall, 38.5% hold the same belief.
Trump, who has survived a pair of assassination attempts (one of which was celebrated), is not the only legitimate target, say many Americans. The data show that nearly half, 48.6%, say murdering Elon Musk would be justified.
It turns out that there has also been a shocking show of support for Luigi Mangione, who has been charged with murdering UnitedHealth Chief Executive Officer Brian Thompson. In addition, Mangione has a health care ballot initiative named after him in California.
The report’s authors say, “support for political violence – including property destruction and assassination – is not expressed in isolation, but as part of a tightly interconnected belief system.”
It’s not hard to imagine who makes up that “tightly interconnected belief system.” Reading further, we learn that there exists a pattern that “suggests a broader worldview in which violence is seen as a legitimate political response — not just a reaction to individual figures. Central to this belief system is Left-Wing Authoritarianism (LWA), characterized by moral absolutism, punitive attitudes toward ideological opponents, and a willingness to use coercion for progressive aims.”
This “broader worldview” has been crafted by Democrats and a leftist media that have whipped roughly half the country into a raging frenzy. The former, from party leaders down, have encouraged uprisings and unrest, while the latter have been telling Americans for a decade that Trump is a racist, an authoritarian, a dictator, and the direct offspring of Hitler if not his reincarnation.
It’s an effort to dehumanize him, which is a tacit approval for violent behavior. To this end, various playactors, politicians, and grifters have:
- Wanted to punch Trump in the face (Robert DeNiro)
- Wished they could “take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him” (Joe Biden)
- Wondered when “was the last time an actor assassinated a president” (Johnny Depp)
- Asked “where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?” (actress Carole Cook),
- Said the “donor class” is “still going to have go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump” (Rick Wilson, Lincoln Project),
- “Thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House” (Madonna)
- Felt inspired to “go and take out Trump tonight” (Rep. Maxine Waters)
- Wished publicly that “somebody would kill Donald Trump” (academic and New York Times columnist John McWhorter)
- Hoped that “maybe Donald Trump will go away. Maybe he’ll go to jail. Maybe he will die” (former Biden press secretary and current MSNBC misinformer Jen Psaki)
Say all of this and more for long enough, and tens of millions will declare their allegiance to the “assassination culture” identified in the Rutgers report.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
It is easy to see how leftist tyrants committed so many cases of genocide on their own people.
Satan
the left has always been pro democide
when is violence the answer
in self defense
It’s implicit in the current year Democrat ideology.
Many leftists adore Che Guevara. They wear shirts bearing his picture, and hang Che Guevara posters in their rooms. Here’s a typical quote Guevara quote:
“To execute a man we don’t need proof of his guilt. We only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him. It’s that simple.”
Che Guevara

Although I doubt it has crossed their minds (what little they may have), I wonder if they ever considered what the reaction would be by Conservatives if such an assassination were to take place?
Three assassination attempts if you count the ricin attack
Long before that, it starts as positive reinforcement conditioning in public schools.
Positive feedback loops have no limits: they either deplete all resources or they fail catastrophically.
Good post. WORDS from EVIL individuals.
I often think of the movie “Hotel Rwanda.” Daily doses of hate from the radio, which was almost the only available media source. It suddenly boiled into slashing and burning.
Let’s look at one historical parallel.
During the 1920s Weimar Republic in Germany, just two years after WW I ended, Germany had huge civil unrest, street warfare in Berlin between the Freikorps and the communists (hundreds died), political assassinations were common, and hyperinflation destroyed the economy. MONTHLY inflation rates were in TRIPLE digits by mid-1922. Annual inflation was 1,500–2,000%. A year later, hyperinflation peaked at a DAILY rate of 41% and the Mark collapsed from 7,400 to 4.2 trillion marks per US dollar by November, a 56,756,756% depreciation.
Yet, with the introduction of the Dawes Plan and the Rentenmark, prices stabilized, the exchange rate held at 4.2 Marks per US dollar and inflation dropped to single digits, 5–10%, the economy normalized, and most civil unrest ended, and Germany quickly entered into what was called the “Golden Era” (”Goldene Zwanziger,” 1924–1929) This era was marked by recovery, artistic innovation, and social progress, though underlying tensions persisted.
I bring this up to show how, after massive upheavals of war, social unrest, and fiscal calamity, a society was able to stabilize and normalize. (ignoring, of course, what was coming in the 1930s to 1945).
But what we have in the USA is, I believe, far worse in many respects. The leftists are not giving up, they have been at this project to destroy the USA for decades, and they won’t quit until they succeed.
We have never before had a major opposition party urging the assassination of the President. What would happen if the leftists succeed in murdering President Donald Trump? The nation quickly moved on from previous presidential assassinations, but none of those assassinations were caused by the opposition party. This time would be vastly different with the entire opposition party being held responsible.
The BLM has also been very vocal about open season ending all whiteys since king and hero Karmelo Anthony stabbed 17 year old Austin Metcalf at a jv track meet in Frisco, TX last month. They threatened white Shilo Hendrix with beating to death with bricks and the same for her family for calling a black kid the N word (you know, that word only they can call their kids 50 times a day but whites can’t) who was supposedly stealing from her diaper bag.
The world is upside down.
The left.

What this says is some people are so morally ambivalent that they will do whatever is essentially “popular” rather than what is morally correct.
We’re getting locked into a civil war mentality. I’m afraid that most Americans don’t know how ugly that could get.
“It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.”
