If words lead to violence, are the Democrats trying to get Trump killed?
I know we don’t talk about such things, but if the various Democratic presidential candidates say that irresponsible invective drives people to violence, I think it’s fair to ask if they’re trying to get Trump assassinated.
Because they’re saying worse about him than he’s said about anybody. And theirs is driven by a rawer, less restrained and more rabid brand of personal hatred than we typically see in this society. We hear far worse directed at Trump than we’ve ever heard come out of Trump.
And if it is the honest belief of Beto and Biden and MSNBC that Donald Trump is causally responsible for the white-supremacist terrorist attack in El Paso, then their even-harsher denunciation of him can only be expected to similarly prod the unstable closer to violence.
If characterizing some illegal aliens as rapists and murderers, and calling their unchecked sweep into this country an invasion, is sufficient to trigger a mass murder, then saying that the president of the United States is a racist who is destroying the country would likewise be sufficient to drive troubled people to violence, right?
Specifically, sufficient to drive troubled people to violence against the president of the United States.
If Trump is Hitler in the narrative of the progressives, if he is the embodiment and empowerment of white supremacy, if he is leading a purge if not genocide of Latinos in America, isn’t there some threshold in the mind of the deranged in which they would see killing the president as morally justified and socially desirable?
Have these people never heard what happened to McKinley?
We never speak of killing the president in this country, we do not even mention the topic. But perhaps we should. Because there can be no doubt that the hateful anti-Trump attacks of everybody from The Squad to the commentators and candidates must raise the Secret Service threat assessment of the president’s safety.
When the news media and the Democratic Party declare the president a white supremacist, what feelings does that engender in those who are not white? Disapproval, or rage? Disagreement, or desperation?
Does the invective of the Democrats in the press or running for president seem to be focused more on persuasion or revolution? Is it intended to make people think, or to make people mad? And not just mad, but mad as hell? Intensely, unrestrainably enraged. Are they building this passion to storm the ballot box, or to storm the Bastille?
And does it never occur to them that by focusing this hatred on the president that they endanger his life?
And doesn’t that bother them?
And, if they were completely honest, about the deepest thoughts of their hearts, do they believe that the assassination of the president would be a good thing, or a bad thing?
We were raised with stories and movies in which the monster always gets killed, and they have made Trump the monster of the modern world. Not just a person with a different point of view, but an immediate and malicious threat to the existence of the United States and the safety of its people.
And maybe the world.
As climate-change hysteria gets ratcheted up, as the new socialist Democrats use it as their political lever, a narrative is created in which Trump is literally going to destroy the world. As the Democrats claim that in five or 12 or 20 years the balance will be forever unbalanced and global warming will wipe out peoples and lands, is there not a point wherein you have to expect that some fruit loop is going to try to take down the guy Democrats claim is killing the world?
If the El Paso terrorist cited the global warming impact of overpopulation as one of the reasons for murder – as he did – isn’t it possible that another profoundly evil or profoundly insane person would see Trump – the progressives’ global-warming boogey man – as an even more appealing target?
And how can the Democrats not realize this?
How can they think for half a moment that standing up, as Joe Biden did, and demonizing the president can do anything but endanger the president?
Or is that what they intend?
If the argument is that political vilification is dangerous, how can they be blind to their danger of their own words?
We have just had two acts of political terrorism, one spawned by the right and another spawned by the left. We have seen in blood how dangerous our words can be. It is not a matter of speculation any more, it is a heartbreakingly proven fact.
We should learn from that. Not double down.
The unstable among us can be pushed to violence by the passion of our politics – against a race, or a person. When we attack and denigrate, we enflame and endanger.
We all need to learn that.
Including those who endanger the life and family of the president of the United States by their progressive hate speech.
They do this to intimidate us.
I am concerned every time the President is in a public setting. The media is constantly fanning the flames that will inspire some lunatic to do something horrible. And the media knows exactly what they are doing.
My wife has become very concerned for President Trump’s safety. Even more so after the recent shootings and the rush by the dems and press to put the blame on him. She believes that Trump and Pence should never be in the same place for fear of a President Pelosi.
I’ve been thinking this same thing ever since before he actually won the election. I said while he was campaigning, I hope he has better security than any candidate ever did, he has a target on his back.
I hope he has really done some serious background checks on his and Melania’s personal secret service crews, and knows they can handle the job. One thing in his favor, knowing how loyal his employees have always been, I’m sure they love the guy and will do anything to protect him...but I do hope he has the very best...
I noticed while he was campaigning, he almost never buttoned his jacket and usually seemed like he looked heavier than he actually is. I think he has been wearing Kevlar since before he even got the nomination. I hope he still does...
Who hasnt figured out this one.
Of course they are.
Except now they are trying to get other people to kill us, too.
And, if they were completely honest, about the deepest thoughts of their hearts, do they believe that the assassination of the president would be a good thing, or a bad thing?
The are impervious to the immorality of an assassination, just like they are to the plight of the citizens in general. EVERYTHING is about their acquisition of power to be used to their own advantage.
Because Trump opposes their practice of absolute power, they want him out. It matters not how so long as their grip on power increases because he is gone. If they can loose the final screw from afar on some nutjob radical who will do the deed for them, that gives them cover. Immediately after his assassination, they shamelessly will start praising Trump as a great President and will publicly absolve themselves of wrong-doing by sundown. They are pure, unadulterated evil.
I think that has been what they are trying to do since Nov 2016. On Inauguration Day CNN spent hours talking about what would happen if Trump and Pence were assassinated before being sworn in. They gleefully concluded that an 0bama appointee would become president. Then there was CNN gushing over the Shakespeare in the Park portrayal of Trumping being assassinated night after night. Then there was Kathy Griffin holding up Trump’s severed head. They haven’t really hidden their desire to see him killed, so there is no need to even ask the question.
Only a white supremacist would think vilifying Trump endangers him. Ask CNN.
For instance, signing any form of new gun control.
I don't think him signing new gun control will endanger him physically. Only politically.
“...are the Democrats trying to get Trump killed?...”
You bet your sweet ass they are! Doesn’t take much to stir up the vast open air insane asylum that is the democrat party. Surprised that nothing has happened yet. Wouldn’t want to be a democrat if it does. I was an adult at the time of JFK and that totally united the country. But that was when America was still America.
“And doesn’t that bother them?”
Nope. Not even a nanobyte
They tried to kill Reagan, they used the same tactic against Bush and Bush is still alive.
Is the Pope uh, does a bear poop in the woods?
The short answer is yes. IMO it has always been an option to them.
The Orangeman represents us. Conservatives and small government types and anti corruption types. Basically those of us who respect the rule of law. The people attacking orangeman are crooks. Law breakers. Now they want us attacked directly because we demand government follow our laws. This is an ancient struggle no doubt that was solved by splitting into the domains of heaven and hell.
The more crap they throw at him, the more he looks like a President
Many stupid demented demoncats would celebrate harm to our great president
That’s how sick twisted and deranged they are !
