The Meaning of the Liberal Cult of Assassination

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If we take a look at the last five mostly peaceful assassination attempts in these United States we get the following:

1. Attempted assassination of Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) by James T. Hodgkinson, 66, at Congressional Baseball Match in June 2017. Scalise was wounded in the attempt. In May, Hodgkinson had posted: "Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co.”
2. Attempted assassination of Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump by Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, in Butler, PA, in 2024. Trump was wounded in the attempt. FBI “described Crooks's activity on social networking services as antisemitic, anti-immigrant, extreme, and espousing political violence.”
3. Attempted assassination of Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump by Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, in Florida in 2024. Secret service interrupted the killer before he had a chance to shoot. “Routh may have planned the assassination attempt for months.”
4. Successful Assassination of Brian Robert Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, allegedly by suspect Luigi Mangione, 26, in New York City in 2024. Document by Mangione: “Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.”
5. Successful Assassination of Israeli embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim allegedly by suspect Elias Rodriguez, 31, in Washington DC in May 2025. CNN: “The suspect has a history of political activism, including denouncing corporate power, US military actions and police abuses.”

Don’t forget the Whitmer Kidnapping Plot in 2020, which was far worse, because organized by a Far Right armed insurrectionist group called the Wolverine Watchmen. Here’s why:

Some have labeled the attempt as an example of stochastic terrorism, where violent rhetoric by prominent figures inspired the plot.

Experts agree that the FBI had nothing -- nothing -- to do with encouraging the plot.

Back to the five mild and devoted assassins.

Can you imagine the outrage if these five assassins had been targeting liberal...

I remember when the lefties were saying “violence is never the answer.”

The completely control the terms of the debate.

Violence is oppression until it becomes liberation. They control the dial.

I also remember when they were saying “we have to get the money out of politics.”

That was before most of the billionaires joined their party.

Now you don’t hear anymore about the evils of political money.

The mask is fully off.

Neither guile nor moral bullying works for them any more.

Goodbye forever loyal opposition and peaceful coexistence.

I loved the observation of FReeper jdege yesterday:

The reason the Progressive Hegemony is going nuts is that they're seventy years into their fifty year plan, they'd taken complete control of the critical institutions of Western society, and it's not been working.

I think the Liberals are completely ignoring the fact that if they managed to succeed in assassinating the president, the blowback and vengeance from patriotic Americans is going to be so off the charts that it’s going to make a civil war pretty much inevitable. In fact, the next one will make the first one look like a church picnic.

That’s exactly what they want, Cloward-Piven.
