Coming Soon: More Assassination Attempts

When we ask what the Democrats have in store for us over the coming years, one answer is: more assassination attempts.

Assassination chic is rampant in popular culture. The murder of Charlie Kirk, in particular, has become a standing joke on the left. Podcasters, comedians and mainstream Democrats find it hilarious. And to my knowledge, not a single Democratic politician has told their troops to tone it down. Because they like the threat of assassination to hang over Republicans.

There have been three attempts on President Trump’s life, that we know of. There probably will be more, as the Democrats have been trying to get him killed for a while now. I would put his chances of dying a natural death at even money.

Liberals want Elon Musk, one of humanity’s great benefactors, to be assassinated. You see this on X, somewhat ironically. And Democratic politicians have bragged that they want to send Musk to prison. For what? Who knows, but it implies that he is a criminal. Democratic politicians are perfectly well aware of how their base will respond to this kind of incitement. I hope Elon has really, really good security.

Supreme Court justices will be in the crosshairs, too. This would not have been true if the Democrats had not taken the Senate. But as of January, President Trump will not be able to confirm any justice he might nominate, so it will be open season on any or all of the six Republican-appointed justices. The attempt on Kavanaugh was only the first.

Every Republican Senator and Congressman will be looking over his or her shoulder. It has been a while since a Bernie Sanders campaign worker opened fire on the Republican baseball team and nearly killed Steve Scalise, but Congressional Republicans haven’t forgotten.

Then there are businessmen. In the wake of the midterms, Democratic office holders are crowing about investigating and prosecuting executives in various industries. Democrats have made Luigi Mangione a cultural hero, and there are many more or less disturbed liberals who would like to have groupies, like Luigi, and be viewed as a hero by half the country. What the heck, we don’t have the death penalty anymore. Why not?

Buckle your seat belt. Between professional criminals like Antifa and disturbed leftists, we are in for more violence, incitement of which comes from all levels of the Democratic Party, starting at the top. They want political violence, and I am afraid they are going to get it.

If there is an assassination attempt on a conservative after being attacked by a prominent Democrat in government, media etc. - using language that would obviously incite someone - they (if they survive) or their family should sue for millions. They should try to find a court located outside of heavily Democrat places and with a Republican judge (who is not a Bush type Republican). Sarah Palin's attorneys filed her libel case against the NYT in NYC for some strange reason.

Granted finding a court with a judge who is not a Dem or a Bush type Republican, and is not in or near a large city, might be difficult.

The targeted individual or their family may not end up winning. Or if they do win an appeals court would probably throw it out. But it's still worth it imo.

I hope so too.

It’s tragic to say but political assassination works, look TPUSA after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, it’s gone from a very effective organization at engaging with and gaining support from young people primarily on college campuses, now it’s leaderless and drifting will likely be an afterthought in a couple of years. Charlie Kirk was targeted for his views and I think a bigger reason is he was effective in breaking thru to young people.

An inch in a different direction and Trump would not be POTUS, he’s fortunately survived multiple assassination attempts.

Yet, the Media almost always jumps at claiming any attacker must be a right winger before the facts are even in. Ther is a lot of hate in this country. Last weekend I was reading some of the comments on a Yahoo News story about the Florida Learjet crash which mentioned that it crashed near a trailer park. One commenter said something along the lines of hoping those in the trailer park were dead because they were “probably MAGA.”

When it comes to any future assassination attempts, I think both sides are equally at risk. 350 million people live in the US, and among them are some bonafide crazies. If I was a politician I would be very vigilant regardless of my party affiliation.
